FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for all types of hiking?

These Karrimor Mount Walking Shoes are designed for light to moderate walking, trails, and general outdoor use. They offer excellent comfort and waterproofing for day hikes but are not intended for demanding mountaineering or highly technical terrain requiring stiffer boots.

How do I clean the suede on my shoes?

Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner product, following its instructions. Always allow the shoes to air dry completely after cleaning and consider applying a suede protector spray for future prevention.

Can I put these shoes in a washing machine?

No, it is strongly recommended not to put these walking shoes in a washing machine. This can damage the materials, compromise the waterproofing, and affect the structural integrity of the shoe. Hand cleaning is best.

What kind of socks should I wear with these shoes?

For optimal comfort and to manage moisture, wear synthetic or wool blend hiking socks. Avoid cotton socks, as they retain moisture and can lead to blisters and discomfort.

How long should these shoes last?

The lifespan of your Karrimor Mount Walking Shoes depends on frequency of use, terrain, and proper care. With regular use and proper maintenance, you can expect them to provide reliable performance for several seasons of walking.

Are these shoes heavy?

No, these shoes feature a Phylon midsole, which is designed to be lightweight, contributing to overall comfort without adding unnecessary bulk or weight during your walks.

Can I use these for casual wear?

Yes, while designed for walking, their comfortable and stylish black design makes them suitable for everyday casual wear as well, especially if you prioritize comfort and foot support.

Troubleshooting

My feet are getting wet despite the 'waterproof' claim.

Ensure laces are tied correctly to prevent water ingress from the top. Check for any physical damage to the upper. Clean the shoes and apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellency) spray suitable for suede and mesh to revitalize the outer waterproof coating.

The shoes feel uncomfortable or cause rubbing.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate walking socks. Check that the lacing is neither too tight nor too loose. Break in new shoes with shorter walks before attempting longer treks. If discomfort persists, consider if the shoe size or width is suitable for your foot shape.

The grip on the sole seems reduced.

Inspect the deep ridge sole for embedded mud, stones, or debris, and clean thoroughly. Ensure the outsole is not excessively worn. Reduced grip can occur on extremely slippery surfaces beyond the shoe's design capabilities.

The suede is stained or looks dull.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the nap. For stains, use a suede cleaner. Always allow shoes to dry completely before cleaning suede. Regular application of a suede protector spray can prevent future staining.

My feet feel too hot or sweaty.

While the shoes are breathable, ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks. For very warm conditions, the waterproof membrane might limit breathability more than non-waterproof options. Consider drying and airing out shoes thoroughly after each use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent Weather Protection: Weathertite technology ensures feet stay dry in wet conditions.
  • Comfort-Focused Design: Cushioned foam insole and Phylon midsole provide superior comfort for extended wear.
  • Reliable Traction: Deep ridge sole offers strong grip on uneven or slippery surfaces.
  • Breathable Construction: Mesh sections in the upper prevent overheating and promote airflow.
  • Durable Materials: Suede and synthetic sole contribute to the shoe's longevity.

Cons

  • Suede Maintenance: Requires specific care to maintain waterproofing and appearance, especially after exposure to dirt or moisture.
  • Not for Extreme Mountaineering: Designed for walking; may not offer sufficient support or rigidity for technical climbing or heavy backpacking.
  • Specific Sizing: Available in UK ladies' sizes, requiring careful selection for fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your Karrimor Mount Walking Shoes come ready to wear. Simply loosen the full lace up front, slide your foot in, and use the heel and tongue pull loops for assistance. Fasten the laces securely to ensure a snug, comfortable fit that supports your ankle without restricting movement. Adjust lacing tightness as needed for comfort during your walk.

Compatibility

These shoes are designed for adult female walkers and are available in UK size 5. They are suitable for various walking activities, from light trails and country paths to general outdoor use. They are not intended for heavy-duty mountaineering or highly technical terrain.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and performance of your walking shoes:

  • Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For stubborn mud, gently wipe with a damp cloth. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
  • Suede Care: The suede sections require special attention. Consider using a suede brush for cleaning and a suede protector spray to maintain water repellency and prevent staining. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Waterproofing: While the Weathertite membrane provides inherent waterproofing, regularly applying a suitable waterproof treatment (spray or wax, compatible with suede/mesh) can enhance and restore the outer DWR (Durable Water Repellency) coating.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Avoid storing in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. You can stuff them with crumpled newspaper to help them retain their shape and absorb any residual moisture.
