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.
