I used to have some but invested in some lightweight adidas walking trainers/shoes (goretex). They're much more practical as I found the Karrimor boots very weighty, but maybe some people prefer that?
I've got a pair now and they've been great so far, depends what you use them for - mine are for in the mountains or the Peak district rather than walking the dog. The grips are a major let down in them when scrambling on slippy rocks.
I have also moved to shoes as against boots. I buy the waterproof Crane Trekking shoes from Aldi at £17 ish and find they are good value.
Karrimor are now (one of) the Sports Direct own-brand for walking shoes. They could be good, but caveat emptor.
in my opinion, dont waste your money on karrimor,get some of these https://www.mountainwarehouse.com/f...bur-waterproof-vibram-boot-p11639.aspx/brown/ tough,feel like slippers,take hardly any padding in. leather beats man made stuff hands down imo,i've had man made karrimors,regattas,hi tech and they are rubbish compared to these.. mountain warehouse have a shop in that outlet at castleford these leather excaliburs are spot on mate.
Yes the shoes are far more comfortable than boots. I have had the dear boots in the past which leak and soles split, so now I look for a cheaper brand that's waterproof. The Aldi ones deffo fit the bill.
I'm on my second pair of karrimor boots then shoes I only use them for dog walking but it's surprising how many miles you do if you go every day. First pair lasted a few year and the latest pair at six months in and are still like new
