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.

I purchased the shoes not the boots and the sizing is spot on! Comfy from the get go,,Nice sturdy shoe with plenty of support, nice thick sole with good toe protection.The upper material feels hard wearing and durable, the stitching is excellent.I don't think you will be disappointed for the money, I'm certainly not!

My boots get hammered at work and are usually falling apart after 6 months but these are going strong after 10 months. They weren't really waterproof which was disappointing but a dose of Fabsil cured this. I've been impressed by how they were warm enough in winter yet comfortably cool in summer. They've worn through in the usual flex points on the uppers but remain comfortable and useable. I've worn other boots flat or right through the sole in the past but these still have tread. They've survived being machine washed a few times and dry reasonably quickly.I've just purchased another pair to take over when the autumn weather kicks in. Overall I'm impressed with the robustness and comfort of these boots. They aren't perfect but they are versatile.

Hard wearing boots. This is the second pair we have bought.They have lasted very well.Sturdy and have been a very comfortable boot

I’m on 20,000 miles walking in last 5 years. These shoes fit, straight off, no breaking in or initial discomfort. Lightweight. My heavy, special boots sit forlornly by the front door, abandoned. Streets, forest, riverbank, mud, moors, hills, cycling, it’s all the same. Superb shoe with excellent ankle support that are better than my £300 specialist boots, which wear out in a similar time frame and cost £100 a time to resole. Plus a month at the menders. I am on my third pair. With high mileage expect at least a years worth of wear. Which I think is great value. Plus they are actually waterproof. Excellent value all round. Highly recommended.Now on my 5th pair. Tried on all the expensive models from the mountaineering shops in London. I found that all their shoes were undersized by at least one size. I am size 10. In the anon shops a size 11 was a size 9. No way am I a size 12. I have paid good money for top boots at 300£ plus. I have found that these wear out much quicker than my £33 shoes from this seller. Plus I don’t have to send them to a foreign country to have them re-soled/heeled as their boots wear out in a fraction of the time than the shoes from this seller. My last pair of these shoes were bought one year ago. I do high mileage - 20,000 miles - in last five years. These shoes fit perfectly. Some time soon I will be able to claim that I walked the equivalent of walking the equator, IE around the World in these brilliant shoes. That’s 25000 miles or so. So whatever size you are these shoes will fit. Highly recommended.

Liking the Style, they fit great, added insoles for extra comfort. Bought for walking our dog, which is usually 7000 to 11000 steps a day. Delivery was on time. Haven't been out in any serious wet weather yet, they certainly will get tested here in South Wales as we do get quite an amount of rain 🌧️

I love these shoes, and buy them on a regular basis. I do ***a huge amount*** of general purpose walking and live in these shoes day in, day out, all year. Whilst the supplied insoles are good, I choose to replace them with arch-support insoles, which I replace every few months, but the shoes themselves last me around 4 years a pair, however I have a pair I wear day in day out as my 'iniversal' shoes and I have another pair I keep as 'best-occasion' shoes, and then I switch them to general use and buy a new 'best-occasion' pair when the generals have passed their 'walk-by' date. I do not buy or wear cheap rubbish footwear, I only have one pair of feet.....plus knees and hips, and comfy supportive footwear is absolutely essential. I don't ever deliberately stand in water, or wade through Lake District bogs, but from my experience of *rain* I've certainly not got wet feet whilst wearing these in, I'm going to say, certainly the first two years of wearing them. Like all this type of construction where, in very simple terms, you have an inner and an outer shell, but in-between the two is a sort of 'plastic bag sewn in, they *are* waterproof for a period of time, but eventually the creasing and uncreasing of that (unseen) 'plastic bag' can (but not always) cause a breach.You can buy a rubbish pair of shoes for 15 - 20£, they'll be rubbish when you buy them and they'll be rubbish all the way until you give up on them 6-months to 1year later, and you'll likely have uncomfortable feet for this period of time too.I keep buying them because they give me excellent service, comfort and value. I take a size 8 (EU42) and that size in this shoe is perfect for me

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.
