Karrimor Mount Walking Shoes - Black - 15 UK

The Karrimor Mount Low Walking Shoes are ideal for general walking, trail walking, and light hiking on maintained paths. Their low-cut design provides less ankle support than high-top boots, making them less suitable for very rugged, steep, or off-trail terrain where significant ankle stability is required.

The shoes feature an internal Weathertite waterproof membrane. To maintain the outer material's water repellency, regularly clean the suede leather upper and apply a suitable waterproofing spray or treatment designed for suede and leather footwear. Allow shoes to dry naturally after use.

The FrameFlex Chassis is an integrated component within the sole unit designed to provide increased comfort and support. It helps to stabilize the foot and reduce fatigue during extended periods of walking by offering structural integrity and support.

While the shoes offer waterproof protection, they are not specifically insulated for extreme cold. For very cold conditions, pair them with appropriate thermal socks. Their primary function is all-weather walking comfort, not extreme cold protection.

For routine cleaning, brush off dry dirt with a soft brush. For wet mud, allow it to dry completely then brush off. For more thorough cleaning, use a damp cloth with a specialized suede cleaner, or a mild soap solution. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh detergents or scrubbing.

The Dynagrip MT007 sole unit is designed to provide robust traction and grip across various terrains. It features a lug pattern optimized for stability on uneven ground, gravel, and damp surfaces, enhancing safety and performance during your walks.

Yes, despite being waterproof, the Weathertite membrane is designed to be breathable, allowing moisture vapor (sweat) from inside the shoe to escape, which helps keep your feet comfortable and dry during activity.

While the Weathertite membrane is waterproof, the outer suede/leather can absorb water if its water repellency wears off. Ensure regular cleaning and re-application of a suitable waterproofing treatment for the upper material. Also, check for water entering over the top of the shoe in very deep puddles or heavy rain, as this is a low-cut shoe.

Ensure you are using a secure lacing knot, such as a double knot or surgeon's knot. The full lace-up system should allow for a tight, customizable fit.

Check your sock choice; thick, seamless walking socks are recommended. Ensure the shoes are properly broken in. Adjust lacing to prevent pressure points. If persistent, verify shoe size and fit, as incorrect sizing can cause issues.

The Dynagrip sole provides good traction, but no sole is slip-proof on all surfaces (e.g., wet ice, highly polished surfaces). Regularly inspect the sole for excessive wear, which can reduce grip. Clean the sole to remove embedded debris that might affect traction.
