Like Karrimor, the company (it’s French) is now using factories in China.

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.

Although the upper part of the boot is probably about 80% leather, there are some mesh panels as well to help your feet breath. The mesh has been treated to repel water, but if you’re going to be going to a lot of very wet places it helps if you spray them with some waterproofing spray. When I was examining the boots I was also impressed by the quality of the plastic overlay around the toes. Stubbing your toe is not usually as painful as banging your ankle, but it still hurts so the more protection the better.Karrimor Mount Mid Mens Walking Boots have been designed with breathable mesh panels to the upper for extra breathability for your feet while the waterproof treatment helps keep you protected from the weather.
