Karrimor Mount Walking Shoes - Black - UK 8

Yes, their cushioned foam insole, Phylon midsole, and breathable design make them comfortable for extended periods, especially during walking or light hiking activities.

Regularly clean the shoes as per care instructions. After cleaning and drying, apply a suitable waterproofing spray or treatment specifically designed for suede and mesh outdoor footwear to replenish the water repellent properties.

These shoes are best suited for light to moderate trails and general walking. For very challenging, rocky, or technical mountain terrain, a more robust hiking boot with higher ankle support would be recommended.

Phylon is a lightweight, responsive foam material used in the midsole to provide excellent cushioning and shock absorption. This reduces impact on your feet and joints, enhancing comfort during prolonged periods of walking.

Remove the insoles and stuff the shoes with newspaper or paper towels to absorb internal moisture. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or open flames, which can damage the materials.

Yes, a short break-in period is generally recommended for new walking shoes. Wear them for shorter periods initially to allow the materials to soften and conform to the unique shape of your feet, preventing discomfort on longer excursions.

It is highly recommended to wear moisture-wicking hiking socks made from synthetic blends or merino wool. These materials help manage sweat, prevent blisters, and enhance the overall comfort and performance of the waterproof-breathable footwear.

Ensure laces are snug to prevent water ingress through the opening. Check for any physical damage to the Weathertite membrane. Wear appropriate moisture-wicking socks, as cotton socks can trap sweat and feel wet even if the shoes are waterproof.

Verify correct shoe size and width; walking shoes should allow a small amount of toe room. Wear appropriate hiking socks to provide cushioning and reduce friction. Ensure laces are properly adjusted – not too tight, not too loose. A short break-in period is often needed to allow the shoes to conform to your feet.

Regularly clean the Arete III outsole to remove accumulated mud, dirt, or debris that can reduce traction. Inspect the sole for signs of excessive wear; a worn-out tread will offer less grip. Consider if the terrain is too challenging for this type of walking shoe.

Fully loosen the laces before attempting to put on or take off the shoes. Utilize the heel and tongue pull loops to assist, ensuring not to force the foot.
