Yes, they feature the Weathertite membrane, which is designed to be both waterproof and windproof.
They are suitable for light, non-technical winter trekking, but they are not insulated for extreme cold.
Wipe with a damp cloth and apply a leather-specific conditioning treatment periodically to keep it from drying out.
It is recommended to wear them for short walks before embarking on a long-distance hike to allow the leather to soften to your foot shape.
Stuff the insides with newspaper and let them air dry in a well-ventilated room. Avoid artificial heat.
The Kestrel series has a standard fit; if you have particularly wide feet, you may find the standard width snug and should consider sizing up or testing the fit carefully.
Check if your socks are cotton-based; switch to synthetic or merino wool, which wick moisture away rather than absorbing it.
Ensure you are using a double-knot technique or a surgeon's knot, which is more effective for high-motion trekking activities.
Use a stiff-bristled brush or a toothpick to clear mud and small rocks from the tread patterns to maintain optimal grip.
To ensure the longevity of your Karrimor Kestrel Mid shoes, proper care is essential. Since these feature a leather upper, avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or near heat sources like radiators to dry, as this can cause the leather to crack. Clean mud and debris off the outsole after every hike using a soft brush and lukewarm water. For the leather, use a specialized cleaner and conditioner to maintain suppleness and prevent water damage. Ensure you pair these with moisture-wicking hiking socks to fully maximize the effectiveness of the Weathertite lining, as heavy cotton socks can trap perspiration inside the shoe.
