FAQs

Are these boots truly waterproof?

Yes, the Karrimor Skiddaw Walking Boots feature a Weathertite upper which provides reliable waterproof protection, keeping your feet dry in wet conditions.

How do I clean my Karrimor Skiddaw boots?

You should wipe them clean with a damp cloth and then air dry them naturally. Do not machine wash them, as this can damage the materials and waterproofing.

Are these boots suitable for long hikes?

Absolutely. The Ortholite insole provides cushioning and support, and the Phylon midsole contributes to a lightweight design, both of which help reduce fatigue during long treks.

What kind of traction do these boots offer?

They are equipped with a DynaGrip outsole which offers superior traction, providing excellent grip and stability on a variety of terrains, from muddy paths to rocky trails.

Will these boots keep my feet warm in cold weather?

While the Weathertite upper provides protection from water and wind, these boots are not specifically insulated for extreme cold. For very cold conditions, pairing them with appropriate thermal hiking socks is recommended.

Do I need to 'break in' these boots?

Like most walking boots, a short break-in period is generally recommended to allow the materials to conform to your feet and ensure maximum comfort before embarking on long hikes. Start with shorter walks to gradually adjust to the boots.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel damp or wet inside the boots.

Ensure boots are properly laced to prevent water entry from the top. Check for any damage to the Weathertite upper. Consider re-applying a DWR treatment if the outer surface is no longer repelling water. Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks.

Boots feel uncomfortable or cause rubbing/blisters.

Allow for a proper break-in period if new. Experiment with different lacing techniques to find a comfortable fit. Ensure you are wearing suitable, well-fitting hiking socks (avoid cotton). Check if the size is correct; a boot that is too small or too large can cause issues.

Traction seems insufficient on certain surfaces.

Clean the DynaGrip outsole thoroughly to remove any caked-on mud or debris that might reduce grip. Assess the terrain; while the DynaGrip is excellent, some extremely slick surfaces (e.g., wet, mossy rocks) may still pose a challenge. Replace boots if the sole tread is significantly worn.

Boots are hard to clean after muddy walks.

Allow mud to dry slightly, then brush off as much as possible before wiping with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a soft brush or old toothbrush on the sole and seams. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.

Boots develop an odor.

Remove insoles after use to air out the boots thoroughly. Ensure boots are fully dry before storage. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the boots overnight to absorb odors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Upon receiving your Karrimor Skiddaw Walking Boots, ensure a proper fit by lacing them securely. Use the hook eyelets to create a snug but comfortable feel, allowing enough room for movement without your foot slipping inside. It's often beneficial to wear the type of socks you intend to hike in when trying them on.

Compatibility

These boots are designed for use with standard hiking socks (wool or synthetic are recommended for moisture-wicking properties). They are suitable for a wide range of outdoor terrains, including forest trails, moderate mountain paths, and coastal walks. Their waterproof nature makes them compatible with changeable weather conditions.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your boots:

  1. Cleaning: After use, especially in muddy or dirty conditions, wipe the boots clean with a damp cloth. Gently remove any dirt or debris from the upper and outsole.
  2. Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or open fires, as this can damage materials like the Weathertite membrane and adhesives.
  3. Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash these boots. Machine washing can compromise the waterproofing, damage the structural integrity, and void any warranty.
  4. Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight.
  5. Re-Waterproofing (Optional): Over time, the outer DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may wear off. You can restore this with a suitable boot-specific re-waterproofing spray or treatment, following the product's instructions.
