FAQs
Are these boots suitable for heavy backpacking trips?
Yes, the robust construction, supportive ankle, and cushioned midsole make them well-suited for carrying heavier loads on multi-day backpacking adventures.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Always try boots on with the type of socks you intend to wear. Ensure there is enough room in the toe box to wiggle your toes freely, and the heel should feel secure with minimal lift when walking.
What is the primary benefit of the Vibram outsole?
The Vibram outsole is renowned for its exceptional durability and superior traction across a wide variety of terrains, providing reliable grip and long-lasting wear.
Can I use these boots in very cold weather?
While the Weathertite technology offers warmth and waterproofing, these boots are not specifically insulated for extreme cold. For very low temperatures, consider adding thermal socks or looking for insulated winter boots.
What does 'KSB collection' signify?
The KSB collection generally represents Karrimor's higher-performance range, often featuring advanced materials and technologies for serious outdoor enthusiasts.
How often should I reapply waterproofing treatment?
It's recommended to reapply waterproofing treatment at least once or twice a year, or whenever you notice the boot's exterior beginning to absorb water rather than repel it.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or cause discomfort during initial wear.
This is common with new leather boots. Wear them for short periods indoors to gradually break them in. Ensure you are using appropriate hiking socks and that the lacing is adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit.
Feet feel wet despite the waterproof claim.
Check for any visible damage to the boot's material or seams. Ensure laces are tied securely to prevent water ingress from the top. Reapply waterproofing treatment if the fabric seems to be absorbing water. The internal Weathertite membrane could be compromised if damage is present.
Traction seems poor on certain surfaces.
Ensure the Vibram outsole is clean and free of mud or debris, as this can significantly reduce grip. For extremely slick surfaces, always exercise caution regardless of the outsole's quality. The outsole is designed for a balance of grip and durability, which may result in less aggressive traction than a dedicated climbing shoe.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush. For a deeper clean, use a damp cloth and mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals. Allow boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically apply a waterproofing treatment suitable for leather and synthetic materials to maintain the effectiveness of the Weathertite technology. Follow the product's specific instructions.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, preferably with shoe trees to maintain their shape. Ensure they are clean and dry before long-term storage.
