Karrimor Men's Bodmin Weathertite Hiking Boots

I've tried a lot of boots, at all price levels, and I begrudge spending over a hundred for every day boots, hence trying these.......... Yes they are built to a price, but I've been wearing them for casual walking around for 3 months and I can only say for the money these are brilliant, the fit is nice and wide, they are super comfortable, the bed is a bit thin but it doesn't affect the comfort for me. They're not showing signs of wear, I've got them soaking and they didn't leak. For low level path walking these are ideal. If they fell apart tomorrow I'd buy another pair which says it all.

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

🌟🌟🌟🌟 Great Value Hiking Shoes with a Few Limitations I’ve been using the Karrimor Bodmin Low IV Weathertite Hiking Shoes for a while now, and overall, they’re a solid choice for casual hikers and outdoor enthusiasts. 👍 Pros: ✅ Comfortable Fit – The shoes feel great right out of the box, with decent arch support and padding for long walks. ✅ Good Grip – The rubber sole provides reliable traction on most terrains, including wet and uneven surfaces. ✅ Weather-Resistant – The Weathertite technology does a good job keeping my feet dry in light rain and damp conditions. ✅ Affordable Price – Compared to premium hiking brands, these offer excellent value for the money. 👎 Cons: ❌ Breathability Could Be Better – Since they are water-resistant, they tend to trap heat, making them less ideal for hot weather. ❌ Durability Concerns – While they hold up well for casual use, the outer material (leather & mesh) shows signs of wear quicker than expected. ❌ Sizing Runs a Bit Small – I’d recommend ordering a half size up for a better fit, especially if wearing thick hiking socks. 📌 Final Verdict: A comfortable and budget-friendly option for light to moderate hiking. They’re not the most durable or breathable, but for the price, they’re a great choice for occasional hikers. 4/5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐

My previous Karrimore shoes were the Mount Low version and have lasted me over 10 years of significant use. These Bodmin IV versions seem to be very similar, although not identical, and are a very good fit and comfortable. Slightly cheaper than the Mount Low but still Weathertite tech and easily as good feel to them when walking trails. Still early days but it looks like a winner. On a cautious note, I also ordered a pair of Karrimore Supa 5 trail shoes as they looked to be another good buy, slightly cheaper (about £7), but lighter weight. I ordered these in the exact same size (10) as the Bodmin IV above (also the same as my old Mount Low shoes). However, when these arrived There was a definite difference in the fit and comparing the two new styles directly by placing one of each sole to sole, I would estimate there is at least a half size shorter on the Supa 5 and it could very well be a full size down. I have persevered with them only because I wanted the lighter shoes for cycling and I can wear a trainer liner with them, rather than thicker walking socks, and I find I am getting away (just) with this. I have double checked both sets of shoes and they are both correctly labelled on the box and tongue of the shoes as UK 10. I STRONGLY advise anyone reading this and considering purchase, to move up a half size on the Supa 5 style. Bodmin IV are fine and sized correctly in my opinion. This may just be a batch issue, or it could be a style problem. I did note that the Supa 5 has a lower profile toe cap design, which is very difficult to determine from the pictures unless you are comparing them together on screen. On of the drawbacks of online purchases, I'm afraid!...

I recently came back from the north of Sweden where temperatures were close to -30°C. I had this pair of boots with me and a pair of boots more specialised for these conditions, but those Karrimors were so good that I didn't even use the other pair for the whole week I spent there. The Karrimors were comfortable, kept my feet dry and were light enough to allow good mobility in the snow. Where the snow was very packed they were very grippy and I can only remember once where I almost slipped. One downside is that the insulation around the toe area is on the thin side so after extended periods exposed in the elements you could start feeling the cold creeping in, even when wearing thick thermal socks. But overall, a great product at a great price.

Good quality walking shoe . Verywaterprooof and comfortable . Had a few pairs of these . Long lasting .

Great Walking Boots for a reasonable price and delivered the following day without Prime, the only let down was that one lace snapped within four days of purcahse of the shoes, more a lace manufacture issue than the main product, but you still expect laces to last more than four days of very occasional wear that are supplied with the product itself. Otherwise a great boot (and so far waterproof) and the supply was also very good.

True to size, quality hiking boots at a fraction of the price of other well known brands. Waterproof, windproof and breathable. Comfortable with good ankle support for long walks. Material is durable. They took longer than usual to arrive as there was a delay.

Als heftiger Radfahrer, Halter eines größeren Power-Hütehundes, forcierter Spaziergänger bei jedem Sauwetter gibt es eben kein Wetter, sondern nur miese Schuhe. Diese hier sind Top. Trekking - na gut, wer es nicht abkann und nur Slipper mag... falsche Zielgruppe. Die hier sehen m.E. echt cool und sehr wertig aus - und sind es auch. Die Sohne ist toll, hat Grip, die Schnürung geht schnell und der Schuh sitzt gut und ist gleichzeitig total bequem. Ich bin begeistert, denn sowas kosten nen Hunni aufwärts - und ich habe offenbar grade ein günstig-Fenster erwischt und nur rund ein Viertel davon bezahlt. Da sag' ich doch auch mal dankeschön! Klare Empfehlung! Kleiner Tipp: Ne gute Einlegsohle - ganz besonders die von Food Active, sind aber preislich nicht so ohne, aber tatsächlich super - macht die Sache perfekt.

Good shoes,seems old stock.

Normalmente indossi sneakers taglia 47 ma ordinando questi stivali dello stesso numero sono risultati un pò grandi. Ho dovuto effettuare nuovamente l'ordinare con un 46 e calzano alla perfezione.

Having been walking, trekking and mountaineering all over the world, I have used lots of different footwear. These are my 3rd pair of Karrimor Bodmin low walking shoes. I have found these to be very light but also hard wearing and comfortable. They usually last me about 18 months before the heel wears through. During that time though they are used almost daily from local walks on tarmac paths for about an hour right up to full mountain climbs over a whole day. I would say that they are not waterproof but weather resistant. If you must have full waterproofing then you need to pay more than these cost. I would not like to wear them in England in a wet winter for example but in Austria where I now live and the climate is much drier, then they are ideal. I have even worn them in shallow snow. The only small problem I have encountered is that to start with, the removable insole remains firmly stuck in the shoe and is comfortable. However with wear, the insole becomes unstuck. Eventually I have had to remove it and then wear two pairs of socks. I always order one size up from my normal shoe size. Overall I think these are great value for the price.

Stiff, they need breaking in and the shoes were dusty but nothing i could not handle. Just threw on a hazmat suit and ppp to unbox them. A wee bit on the large side for a 10 so thick socks will be required. Not sure if theses artificial rubber soles will be up to all the walking. First Impressions 4 Stars.
