Thanks for sharing your experience in such detail. It’s truly a shame that this has happened to what was once such a good UK brand. I can’t say my feet ever felt unpleasantly hot when the weather was warm, so that must have been due to the vents. What I did notice was my feet always felt nice and warm in the winter. The Condition of My Boots When I Threw Them Away However, the one’s I tried on today where not at all the same boot. They were labelled on the inner tongue Mount Mid 9, by the way, but otherwise looked the same, however the fit was noticeably different. There was an odd hard arch in the sole of the shoe that met the pad of my foot in an odd way, would never do for hiking and would likely cause ankle distress. Also the metal eyelets looked like they would not last and there was shabby glue work on the front of the shoe where the body meets the sole. Durability: Karrimor Walking Boots offer Durability - Walking boots need to withstand various terrains and conditions, so durability is important. Karrimor Boots offer sturdy construction, reliable materials, and strong soles that offer good traction. Karrimor are only generally a midrange shoe in my opinion. And although the very first Karrimors I owned nearly 4 years ago were definately better quality; proving the change in ownership has effected them, they are currently the number 2 in lifespan for the shoes I have owned. Given that number 1 is Issue Millitary, not just military Grade; id still.spend the 40-50 pound they cost. Mind you for that money I would like to find a pair to last me 12 months or longer.

The Karrimor Munro Men's Walking Boots boast a premium leather upper together with a Weathertite waterproof and breathable lining for all weather walking / hikingUpdate: If you scroll down to the comments section, you will see the Karrimor brand appears to have gone downhill. I no longer recommend the company’s boots and would never consider buying any other Karrimor products. Comfort: Karrimor Walking Boots offer Comfort - Comfort is crucial when it comes to walking boots. Karrimor Walking Boots provide good cushioning, support, and a snug fit. It's a good idea to try them on and walk around in them to ensure they feel comfortable and don't cause discomfort.

The Karrimor Mount Mid Ladies Walking Boots are constructed with a Suede Split Leather upper, complete with Weathertite Technology Waterproof Protection. However my previous pair still lasted 8 months before feeling a bit word and 11 months before the sole began to slip away from the body of them. My boots have pounded the pavement in the City of Durham. I wore them during a hiking trip in the Spanish mountains and they were on my feet while I walked through the streets of Amsterdam, Antwerp, and Düsseldorf. They traipsed through Dutch countryside and strolled along Portuguese beaches. They were the best pair of boots I ever had. I only threw them away after the soles became so thin their further use was impractical. Bearing in mind the lifespan of most of my footwear, I was truly amazed they lasted so long. Why I Chose Karrimor Hiking Boots Over Other BrandsThese Mount Mid Mens Walking Boots also come complete with a rugged outsole for excellent grip on a range of surfaces, finished off with a padded ankle collar and lace up front for a secure and comfortable fit.

The company has a number of different footwear options available but I bought Karrimor Mount Mid Men’s Walking Boots. Before I bought my boots, I was unfamiliar with the Karrimor brand and I spent quite a long time comparing their boots to walking boots made by other manufacturers. Some of the alternative options looked pretty good too, but the Karrimor boots seemed more sturdy and I felt sure I was looking at something that was built to last.

As well as offering a high degree of Waterproof Protection they are also very breatheable which makes them ideal in all weather conditions. Waterproofing: Karrimor Walking Boots are Waterproof. This is essential if you plan to walk in wet or muddy conditions. I threw the boots away because the area of the sole, under the balls of the feet, had become so thin I could feel any imperfections in the surface I was walking on and if I stepped on a stone it felt really unpleasant. Strangely enough, it was only the right boot that was affected. It must be due to the way that I walk. The area around the heel of the same boot had also lost some of its tread. There was no real wear and tear on the inside of the boot or any other problems at all. I bought them because I thought they looked sturdy and time has proved me right.
