Product Information

Full details

These Karrimor Breathable Mesh Waterproof Hiking Shoes are designed for hikers seeking reliable protection and comfort on varied trail routes. Their key benefit is the WeatherTite technology, ensuring waterproofness while maintaining breathability. A potential consideration is their low-cut design, which may offer less ankle support than higher boots. Key features include a durable Dynagrip sole for traction, an Ortholite insole with Frame Flex chassis for cushioned support, and a speed lace system for a secure fit.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for heavy backpacking trips?

These shoes are designed for day hikes and moderate trekking. For heavy backpacking with significant load-bearing or very rugged terrain, consider hiking boots with higher ankle support.

How do I maintain the waterproofness of the shoes?

Regular cleaning and allowing the shoes to air dry are key. If you notice reduced performance, apply a suitable waterproofing treatment designed for outdoor footwear.

Can I machine wash these hiking shoes?

It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as this can damage the materials and affect their waterproof properties. Hand clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.

What is the main advantage of the Dynagrip sole?

The Dynagrip sole is engineered to provide excellent traction on a variety of surfaces, helping to prevent slips and enhance stability on trails.

How secure is the speed lace system?

The speed lace system, combined with TPU overlays, is designed for a secure and adjustable fit that can be tightened quickly. It aims to provide a reliable hold during your hike.

What does the Frame Flex chassis do?

The Frame Flex chassis works with the Ortholite insole to provide structured cushioning and support, enhancing comfort and stability underfoot during your hikes.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet after a hike.

Ensure the speed lace system is tightened securely to prevent water ingress. Check for any tears or damage to the WeatherTite membrane. If the issue persists, the waterproofing may need to be re-applied.

Poor grip on slippery surfaces.

Clean the Dynagrip sole of any mud or debris that may be lodged in the tread. Inspect the sole for excessive wear; if worn down, consider replacement.

Discomfort or rubbing during wear.

Ensure the shoes are correctly laced and that the fit is not too tight or too loose. Try wearing thicker hiking socks. If the issue is persistent, break in the shoes gradually over shorter walks.

Shoes feel less breathable.

Clean the exterior mesh and interior lining to remove dirt and sweat residue. Ensure the laces are not over-tightened, which can restrict airflow.

Compatibility:

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, wipe down with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or solvents.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials.
