FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for all-day wear?

Yes, with their cushioned insole and FrameFlex Chassis, the Karrimor Mount Low Walking Shoes are designed to provide comfort and support for extended periods of walking and general outdoor activity.

How do I ensure the waterproofing lasts?

Regularly clean the shoes and allow them to air dry. Apply a suitable waterproofing spray or treatment designed for suede and textile footwear periodically, especially after cleaning or if you notice water no longer beads on the surface.

What kind of socks should I wear with these shoes?

For optimal comfort and moisture management, it is recommended to wear moisture-wicking walking or hiking socks. Avoid cotton socks, as they retain moisture and can lead to discomfort and blisters.

Can I machine wash these shoes?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and the waterproof membrane of the shoes. Always follow the manual care instructions for cleaning.

Is there a break-in period required?

Like most quality walking shoes, a short break-in period is often beneficial. Wear them for shorter periods initially to allow the materials to soften and conform to the shape of your feet for ultimate comfort.

Are these shoes slip-resistant?

The Dynagrip MT007 sole unit is designed to provide good traction and grip on various outdoor surfaces, enhancing slip resistance in typical walking conditions.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet despite 'waterproof' claim.

Check if water is entering from the top (over the cuff) in very wet conditions. Ensure the waterproofing treatment on the outer material is intact and reapply if necessary. Verify that the moisture isn't sweat, which can happen if non-breathable socks are worn.

Shoes feel uncomfortable or cause blisters.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate walking socks. Verify the shoe size is correct; ill-fitting shoes are a primary cause of discomfort. Allow for a break-in period. Re-lace to adjust tightness, ensuring even pressure distribution across your foot.

Lack of grip on certain surfaces.

While the Dynagrip sole offers excellent traction, extreme conditions (e.g., polished wet ice, steep, slick mud) can challenge any outsole. Regularly clean the sole to prevent mud or debris buildup, which can reduce grip. Evaluate if the terrain is beyond the shoe's intended use.

Shoes develop an unpleasant odor.

Allow shoes to air dry completely after each use. Remove insoles occasionally for separate airing. Use an anti-odor spray or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes when not in use. Ensure you're wearing clean, moisture-wicking socks.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effective Waterproofing: Weathertite technology reliably keeps feet dry in damp conditions.
  • Excellent Grip: Dynagrip sole provides confidence on slippery or uneven surfaces.
  • Enhanced Support: FrameFlex Chassis contributes to long-term comfort and stability, reducing strain.
  • Durable Construction: Combination of suede leather and textile ensures longevity and resilience for outdoor use.
  • Comfortable Fit: Cushioned insole and full lace-up design offer adaptable comfort.

Cons

  • Specific Use Case: Primarily designed for walking and light hiking; may not be ideal for trail running or highly technical mountaineering.
  • Material Care: Suede leather requires specific care to maintain its appearance and waterproof properties over time.
  • Break-in Period: Like many walking shoes, a short break-in period might be needed for optimal comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup

  1. Lacing: Before your first use, fully unlace the shoes and then re-lace them, ensuring the tongue is centered. This allows you to get a custom, comfortable fit from the start.
  2. Initial Wear: Wear the shoes for short periods around the house to allow them to conform to your feet. This helps in identifying any potential pressure points before extended outdoor use.

Compatibility

  • Terrain: Best suited for light to moderate walking trails, parks, urban environments, and general outdoor use.
  • Weather: Designed for wet and damp conditions thanks to Weathertite waterproofing. Not intended for deep water submersion.
  • Socks: Pair with moisture-wicking walking socks to enhance breathability and prevent blisters.

Care

  1. Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a specialized footwear cleaner suitable for suede and textiles. Avoid harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose to direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, fireplaces), as this can damage the materials and waterproof membrane. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help retain their shape.
  3. Waterproofing Maintenance: Over time, the outer water repellency may diminish. Regularly apply a suitable waterproofing spray or treatment designed for suede and textile footwear to maintain performance.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight when not in use.
