Dry feet are comfortable feet
Karrimor use waterproof, breathable membranes in its footwear to keep water from entering whilst allowing water vapour (sweat) to escape. Even while sitting still over eight hours, your feet will sweat the equivalent to a one-quarter cup of water. During even gentle exercise, this can be greatly increased. Wet feet blister, and feel cold and uncomfortable. The membranes Karrimor uses, allows water vapour to escape, leaving feet dry and comfortable.

Karrimor uses eVent. The premium market performance-leader durably waterproof/ultra breathable membrane. eVent is waterproof and over twice as breathable as its nearest competitor. eVent membranes let the sweat out.

Karrimor uses an exclusive waterproof and breathable membrane in its footwear called Weathertite

Fit and last shape
The Karrimor last is generally recognised as a higher-volume last; which means the fit feels wider –- more akin to the British and European foot shape. Karrimor sells boots and shoes in full and half sizes to ensure a goods fit. Karrimor recommends wearing the boots around the house to ensure they fit well before wearing them outside.

Outsole
Karrimor use durable outsoles that provide high levels of grip. Karrimor uses Vibram outsoles on all its models, which are widely recognised as the market leader in outdoor footwear outsoles. Vibram outsoles can be replaced when they do finally wear out. Many of the Vibram outsoles used are exclusive designs Karrimor has developed with Vibram -– exclusive to Karrimor designs and last.

Customer Reviews

New boots for old
Terrific quality boots by Karrimoor. Good packing and delivery. Fit perfectly. Threw away the old ones as soon as I put these on, AND they were cheaper than a local 'discount' store. Perfect.

Getting the size right is everything.
These are finely made, comfortable, attractive boots to wear. A great and competitively priced product of which the designers and makers should be proud.

The only real problem I have with ordering shoes or boots online is that the size guides are almost criminally misleading: I have a size a UK size 10 shoe that is size 45 EUR. Another UK size 10.5 that is 44.5 EUR. And a UK size 10.5 that is 45 EUR. Then I have a pair of Meindl hiking boots that fit me perfectly at UK size 11 and 46 EUR. On the basis of these sizing anomalies how can a rational person determine their precise shoe size? How can they order shoes with the reasonable expectation that they will fit? Why can't the world's designers and manufacturers get their heads together on this and iron out these glaring discrepancies? What a lot of time and energy must be wasted as disappointed consumers find that a boot sized at 10 is either too big or too small and therefore has to be replaced . . . . This cannot be such a difficult problem to solve.

I agree with another reviewer that the Karrimor footwear does not really account for wide "F" type fittings. Order half a size larger and then if too big you can wear slightly thicker socks.

The boot colour is slightly less of a warm red-brown than shows in the image on my Mac. More of a cold gun-smoke grey.

Karrimor Men's Meridian hiking boot.
I had to send these back, the are well made and would have been perfect but they are very narrow. I would say that if you have wider than average feet avoid them or maybe buy a half size larger.
