Karrimor Mount Walking Shoes - Brown - UK 10

These shoes are best suited for low to moderate terrain, such as day hikes on established trails, dog walking, and general outdoor use. While waterproof and supportive, their low-cut design offers less ankle support than full hiking boots, making them less ideal for highly technical or rocky terrain.

The Weathertite membrane provides internal waterproofing. To maintain the external water repellency of the suede and textile upper, regularly clean the shoes and apply a suitable waterproofing spray or treatment specifically designed for outdoor footwear materials, especially after heavy use or cleaning.

Yes, like most quality walking shoes, a short break-in period is recommended. Wear them for shorter walks initially to allow the materials to soften and conform to your foot shape before embarking on longer excursions.

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and compromise the waterproof membrane. Always clean by hand using appropriate methods for suede and textile, and air dry naturally.

For optimal comfort and to manage moisture, wear synthetic or merino wool hiking socks. These materials wick sweat away from your feet, preventing blisters and keeping your feet dry. Avoid cotton socks, which absorb and retain moisture.

First, check for any visible damage or tears in the shoe's upper, as this can compromise waterproofing. Ensure the shoes are properly cleaned, as dirt build-up can affect breathability and water repellency. Consider re-applying a waterproofing treatment suitable for suede and textile materials.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking walking socks. Check your lacing technique; shoes should be snug but not too tight. A 'break-in' period is common for new walking shoes; wear them for shorter periods initially. If discomfort persists, verify you have the correct shoe size and width.

Inspect the Dynagrip MT007 sole for excessive wear, especially on the treads. If the treads are worn smooth, the grip will be reduced. Ensure you are choosing appropriate terrain for the shoe's design; while versatile, they may have limitations on extremely muddy, icy, or highly technical terrain.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, apply a small amount of a suede cleaner designed for footwear, following the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to air dry completely.
