Karrimor Mount Walking Boots - Black - Size 7

While the Weathertite waterproof feature provides protection from snow and slush, these boots do not have specific insulation for extreme cold. For very cold winter conditions, you might need additional thermal socks or a more insulated boot.

Use a stiff brush and water to remove dirt and mud from the sole. For stubborn grime, a mild detergent can be used. Ensure all soap residue is rinsed off.

The Karrimor Mount Walking Boots are designed for general walking and hiking on varied terrains. For very strenuous mountain climbing or technical routes requiring specialized gear, a more rigid and specifically designed mountaineering boot would be recommended.

For optimal comfort and to benefit from the boots' breathability, we recommend wearing moisture-wicking walking or hiking socks. Avoid cotton socks, as they retain moisture and can lead to blisters.

The frequency depends on how often you use the boots and the conditions you expose them to. As a general guide, if you notice water no longer beads on the surface of the leather or if your feet start to feel damp, it's time to re-apply a suitable waterproofing treatment. Always clean the boots thoroughly before applying any treatment.

The Karrimor Mount Walking Boots are designed with a balance of durability and comfort. While they offer robust support and protection, their Frame Flex chassis aims for flexibility. The weight is typical for a mid-cut waterproof walking boot constructed with leather and textile.

Ensure the laces are tied securely, especially around the ankle, to prevent water entry from the top. Inspect the boot for any visible damage or excessive wear which might compromise the Weathertite membrane. If the boots are older, consider applying a re-waterproofing spray suitable for leather and textile walking boots.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate walking socks (e.g., moisture-wicking). Check that the lacing is neither too tight nor too loose. Make sure the boots have been properly 'broken in' before long walks. If the issue persists, verify you have the correct size and fit.

Clean the Dynagrip rugged outsole thoroughly to remove any caked-on mud or debris that might be reducing traction. Check the tread pattern for excessive wear. If the treads are significantly worn down, the grip will be reduced.

Ensure you are wearing breathable socks. The breathable mesh panels and Weathertite membrane are designed to aid breathability, but in very hot conditions or with non-breathable socks, some warmth is normal. Try to air your feet during breaks.
