Full details
The Karrimor Kestrel Hiking Shoes are designed for adult male hikers seeking a reliable balance of comfort, stability, and weather protection. These shoes excel at keeping feet dry and secure on varied outdoor trails, making them an ideal choice for day hikers; however, users should note that as a rugged hiking shoe, they may feel slightly stiffer than standard athletic footwear during the initial break-in period.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
They provide water protection and stability, but they are not insulated. They are best suited for spring, summer, and autumn hiking.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the waterproof membrane and the structural integrity of the shoe. Hand cleaning is recommended.
Do I need to spray these with a waterproofing treatment?
They come with built-in Weathertite technology. Over time, applying a specialized outdoor footwear reproofing spray can help maintain the water-repellent finish on the upper.
Are these true to size?
Most users find them to be true to standard UK sizing, but if you prefer wearing thicker hiking socks, some users prefer sizing up by a half or full size.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from a durable blend of textile and synthetic materials designed to balance flexibility with trail protection.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure points around the ankle.
Adjust the tension of the laces near the collar. Ensure the tongue is centered and not bunched up before tightening.
Sensation of dampness inside the shoe.
Check that your socks are moisture-wicking synthetic or wool, as cotton holds sweat. If the exterior is dry, the dampness is likely due to perspiration.
Outsole losing traction.
Clean the tread patterns thoroughly with a stiff brush to remove compacted mud, small stones, or debris that prevent the rubber from making contact with the ground.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Karrimor Kestrel shoes, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear your new shoes around the house or on short walks for a few days to allow the synthetic upper and chassis to mold to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after every hike. If the shoes become muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using high-heat sources like radiators to dry them, as this can degrade the waterproof membrane and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
- Lacing: Ensure the laces are tightened evenly from the bottom up to maintain consistent tension and secure the ankle collar properly.
