KarrimorMen's Bodmin Weathertite Hiking Boots

These shoes are no doubt for older people, me being one of them. They are clunky, wide and not very fashionable.However, they are robust, comfortable, stable on uneven ground and very good value.You don't want to to undertake a 100 mile walk, but for dog walking and general rambling they are perfect.

Comfy, good grip, and waterproof so far (though I admit treating them with Grangers Footwear Repel Plus after about a week's use.) My feet have stayed dry through rain, wet grass, and occasional steps into deep puddles/mud.I can see there's a knack to tightening the laces without damaging them. Pull moderately tight with the laces removed from the top eyelets. Slot them into the top eyelets while maintaining tension. Don't pull the laces tighter through the eyelets from this point on. Start the knot and pull it tight only so the laces bite into the padded tongue - without movement through the eyelets. Finish knot. Done.They are generously sized - I can slip them on easily without using my hands. Size 10.5 is normally right for me and I bought these in size 11 to be on the safe side. A perfect result. Despite being so easy to put on, my feet don't move around inside at all while dog walking in the woods.I'm satisfied they are worth the forty pounds I paid for them. If they stay waterproof for more than a year of regular use then they are a true bargain.

Very good value for the price. Pleasantly surprised by the quality and comfort. The size 12’s 1 ordered were a good fit. Would recommend to anyone that wants a good pair of walking shoes.So far have proved waterproof in light to medium rain. Rugged treads with good grip.

These are great boots very comfortable and hard wearing

Even with my wide feet, these fit me very comfortably. I would highly recommend these walking shoes from their lightweight sturdiness to the comfort.

Bought these a little under a year ago at time of review and they're still in near new condition, they get worn most days of the week as I'm a dog walker, and the only real change from when I bought them is the laces are starting to get a little frayed at the ends. These shoes are both nice and cool in the summer but also keep me warm during winter, stay lovely and dry inside when it rains or when walking through mud or shallow water, and are very comfortable for longer walks. I'd say the sizing is accurate, if you're worried about it I'd suggest ordering half a size up, I got size 11 (usually a size 10.5) and I have room to move around but they're tight enough to not slip around. Overall would definitely recommend these to anyone looking for some good hiking shoes!

The last pair of these I had lasted me 2 years, so I knew I was going to be a repeat buyer. Despite the increased price, the comfort and quality is worth it to me. Covering up to 20,000 steps a day at work I knew I needed something comfortable and hard wearing and I’m pleased to say these fit the bill. The insoles are a bit thin though and do tend to wear away prematurely after a few months, but as per my last pair I intend to replace these anyway. The laces also sometimes snap on the metal eyelets too, so I’ll keep a pair handy just in case.I usually take a size 10 in trainers so these are true to size for me, i wear thick work socks with them too. I don’t get much opportunity to test the waterproof claims so cannot comment on that aspect. Otherwise, highly recommended for comfortable work footwear that does not require a steel toe cap or walking duties.

So after roughly ten weeks since buying these shoes and putting in a positive comment about the durability of the soles I would like to amend my previous review by stating that the soles on my new pair are already nearly worn through. I walk quite a lot over varied terrain, but mostly paved areas and the occasional gravelly path. No more than five miles a day but usually closer to three. These shoes should not have worn out in that time and I can only assume that Karrimor have started using inferior quality materials. They are comfy, supportive, water resistant, lightweight and relatively inexpensive, so taking those points into consideration I would buy another pair, but with the expectation of having to replace them after three months of light/moderate use. Not what they used to be.
