Karrimor Hot Rock Walking Boots - Grey - UK 6.5

The Karrimor Hot Rock Walking Boots feature a waterproof lining and durable "Dynagrip outsole", making them suitable for wet and varied conditions typically encountered in spring, autumn, and mild winter. For extreme cold or deep snow, additional insulation or specialized winter boots might be preferred.

To ensure the best fit, try the boots on with the type of socks you would normally wear for hiking. The "classic lacing system" allows for adjustment; aim for a snug fit around the midfoot and heel, with enough room for your toes to wiggle comfortably. The "high padded ankle collar" should feel supportive without restricting movement.

No, it is strongly advised not to machine wash these boots. Machine washing can damage the materials, compromise the "waterproof lining", and degrade the overall integrity of the boots. Always follow the care instructions: wipe clean with a damp cloth and air dry.

The "Ortholite insole" is a high-performance open-cell foam technology that provides long-lasting cushioning, breathability, and moisture management. It helps reduce fatigue, making your walks more comfortable.

These boots, with their "rubber Dynagrip outsole" and deep lugs, are designed for varied natural terrains, including muddy trails, rocky paths, and general hiking routes. They offer reliable traction and protection for diverse 'trail adventures'.

After your hike, use a stiff brush or an old toothbrush with water to remove mud and debris from the deep lugs of the "Dynagrip outsole". This helps maintain optimal traction for future use. Rinse thoroughly and air dry.

Yes, like many durable walking boots, the Karrimor Hot Rock Walking Boots may require a short break-in period. We recommend wearing them for shorter walks initially to allow the materials to soften and conform to your feet, which helps prevent discomfort on longer excursions.

First, check for any visible damage to the boots. Ensure the waterproof lining isn't compromised. Also, consider if water is entering over the top of the boot (e.g., in very deep puddles or heavy rain without gaiters) or if it's sweat accumulation. Ensure proper care has been followed, as incorrect drying or cleaning can affect performance.

Walking boots often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short walks initially to allow them to conform to your feet. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks, which provide cushioning and wick moisture. Re-adjust your lacing to see if a different tightness improves comfort, especially around the "padded ankle collar".

Ensure you are using a secure knot, such as a surgeon's knot or a double knot. Regularly check laces for fraying, and replace them if they show signs of wear, as worn laces are less likely to hold a knot securely.
