FAQs
Are these shoes fully waterproof?
Yes, the Karrimor Mount Low Walking Shoes feature Weathertite waterproof technology, designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from a combination of suede leather and textile, offering both durability and comfort.
How do I clean these shoes?
Brush off loose dirt, then wipe with a damp cloth. For suede areas, use a specific suede cleaner and brush. Allow to air dry completely away from direct heat.
What kind of activities are these shoes suitable for?
They are ideal for day hikes, dog walking, general outdoor activities, and everyday wear where waterproofing and good grip are beneficial.
What is the Dynagrip MT007 sole?
The Dynagrip MT007 sole is a proprietary Karrimor sole unit designed to provide high levels of traction and stability across varied outdoor terrains.
Do I need to 'break in' these shoes?
While comfort is a key feature, it's always recommended to wear new walking shoes for shorter periods initially to allow them to conform to your feet before embarking on longer walks.
Troubleshooting
My feet are still getting wet.
Ensure the waterproofing has not been compromised by damage. Re-apply a waterproof treatment to the upper. Check for any gaps or damage near the sole or seams. Make sure water isn't entering from the top (e.g., running down trousers).
Shoes feel uncomfortable or cause blisters.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks (non-cotton, hiking-specific). Check your lacing technique; shoes might be too loose or too tight. Allow for a break-in period for the shoes to adapt to your foot shape. Consider different insoles if discomfort persists.
Loss of grip on certain surfaces.
Clean the Dynagrip sole thoroughly to remove embedded dirt or debris that might be reducing traction. Inspect the sole for excessive wear, which can reduce its effectiveness. Adjust your stride and awareness of terrain.
Superior Grip: Dynagrip sole provides confidence on varied surfaces.
Enhanced Support: FrameFlex Chassis aids stability on uneven ground.
Comfortable Fit: Cushioned insole reduces strain during long wear.
Durable Construction: Combination of suede leather and textile offers longevity.
Cons
Breathability: Waterproofing may reduce overall breathability compared to non-waterproof alternatives.
Weight: May be slightly heavier than ultra-light trail shoes due to robust construction.
Maintenance: Suede leather upper requires specific care to maintain its appearance and longevity.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Lacing: Fully unlace the shoes. Insert your foot, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated at the back.
Tightening: Begin lacing from the toes upwards, pulling each section snugly but not too tightly. Ensure even tension across the laces.
Knotting: Tie a secure knot. Double-knotting can prevent untying during activity.
Compatibility
Socks: Wear appropriate walking socks designed to wick moisture away from your feet. Avoid cotton socks, which retain moisture.
Terrain: Best suited for light to moderate trails, parks, and varied outdoor surfaces. While robust, they are not designed for extreme mountaineering.
Apparel: Pair with comfortable walking trousers or shorts, and waterproof outerwear when necessary.
Care
Cleaning: After use, brush off loose dirt and mud with a soft brush. For stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth. For suede areas, use a dedicated suede cleaner and brush. Do not machine wash.
Drying: Remove insoles and allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
Waterproofing: Periodically re-treat the suede/textile upper with a suitable waterproof spray or treatment to maintain water repellency, especially after cleaning.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
