FAQs
Are these trainers truly waterproof?
Yes, they feature a Weathertite membrane designed to block water while remaining breathable.
Can I use these for running?
While they are comfortable, they are specifically designed as walking trainers and provide more support and weight than standard running shoes.
How do I clean the exterior?
Use a soft brush to remove dried mud and wipe with a damp cloth; avoid harsh detergents.
Do I need to break them in?
Like most quality footwear, it is recommended to wear them on shorter walks before attempting long-distance hikes to ensure the fit is perfect for your foot shape.
Can I use these in the snow?
They offer good traction for light snow, but they are not insulated for sub-zero temperatures.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort during long walks
Ensure you are using the correct sock thickness and that the laces are adjusted to provide a secure but not restrictive fit.
Reduced traction on trails
Check the outsole for mud or stones trapped in the tread pattern and clean thoroughly with a stiff brush.
Moisture buildup inside the shoe
Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks; the membrane is breathable but requires proper base layers to manage internal sweat effectively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Karrimor Kestrel trainers, always ensure you have the correct fit before wearing them on long trails to avoid blisters. After a muddy walk, remove excess dirt with a soft brush and allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as extreme heat can degrade the Weathertite membrane. Periodically check the outsole for debris lodged in the lugs to maintain maximum traction. If the waterproof effectiveness begins to fade over time, use a dedicated footwear reproofer spray recommended for waterproof membranes.
