Karrimor Mount Walking Shoes - Black - UK 7

Yes, the Karrimor Mount Low Walking Shoes feature Weathertite technology, which provides a waterproof and breathable membrane to keep your feet dry in most wet conditions, such as rain and puddles.

Brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For stubborn marks, wipe with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild, non-detergent soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing. Allow to air dry naturally.

These shoes are designed for light to moderate walking and casual outdoor activities. While they offer good traction and waterproofing, they are low-cut and not intended for heavy-duty hiking, technical terrain, or mountaineering where higher ankle support and more robust construction are typically required.

While generally comfortable from the start, it's always recommended to wear new shoes for shorter periods around the house or on short walks before embarking on longer excursions. This allows the shoes to adapt to your foot shape and minimizes the risk of discomfort.

For optimal comfort and to manage moisture, we recommend wearing moisture-wicking walking or hiking socks. Avoid cotton socks, as they retain moisture and can lead to blisters.

They are waterproof for wet conditions, but as low-cut shoes, they offer limited insulation and protection against deep snow or extreme cold. For winter conditions, dedicated winter boots are usually more appropriate.

The Phylon midsole provides lightweight cushioning and shock absorption. This helps reduce impact on your joints and feet, offering enhanced comfort during extended walks and on varied terrains.

First, check for any visible damage or tears in the upper. Ensure the shoes are properly cleaned, as dirt can impede waterproofing. Consider re-treating the outer material with a suitable waterproofing spray designed for suede and textile footwear.

Inspect the deep ridge sole for excessive wear or blockages. Clean any mud, small stones, or debris from the tread using a stiff brush. If the sole is significantly worn smooth, it may be time to consider replacement.

Ensure you're wearing appropriate walking socks (e.g., moisture-wicking, not cotton). Check that the laces are tied securely but not too tightly. If new, ensure the shoes have been adequately 'broken in' with shorter walks. Consider trying different lacing techniques or aftermarket insoles for personalized comfort.

Remove insoles after use to allow for better air circulation and drying. Clean the inside of the shoes by wiping with a damp cloth and a very mild soap solution. Use shoe deodorizers or natural remedies like baking soda (placed in a sock inside the shoe overnight) to absorb odors. Ensure shoes are thoroughly dry before storage.
