    i bought the ksb outback taupe for deploying to kenya with the armed forces thinking the boots would be ideal for a dry hot climate comfort wise they were great durability was very poor as the stitching on the boots came away after only six weeks of wear

    Very comfortable walking boot but unfortunately useless in the rain. I spent a whole day in soggy, cold socks. Will have to look for something more suitable.

    was just thinking of replacing my Karrimor KSB s, which are over a decade old. Really saddened to read all these negative reviews. My old pair are goretex lined and have never leaked. They were all I wore for three months trekking in Nepal and have served as wellies at every glastonbury since 2006 and the only water ever in them has been sweat. I've taken them on dartmoor, to wales and on a million trudges through long wet grass (which has always served to soak all other boots I've had. Not one ...

    I purchased the KSB peak event boot, having been a user of Karrimor products over a long period and having had no real issues, assumed that all would be fine. 100% waterproof, first time in the rain on Dartmoor, I had to remove both boots and empty the water. I have a pair that are 5 years old, with a hole in the sole and they keep my feet drier that the peak event version. Karrimor quality has fallen short for a while now and I will now be looking towards alternatives for any futher purchase ...

    for a walker with no experience I felt that the Karrimor KSB boots purchased would do the job I was hoping for, comfort and keep my feet dry, sadly not the case, granted the comfort thing yes they work but the dry component, not happening, I appreiciate the cost element and for someone who is only walking once for charity wanted to keep costs reasonable. Should I buy another pair before the walk (3 Peaks) in July or gamble that we have dryish weather??????????????

    Though the Karrimor KSB is a very comfortable boot, mine have always leaked despite frequent treatment. After only about 500 miles, the tread on the vibram sole is tearing away rendering them useless. I have never had this with any other boot, and will not be buying another pair.

    I've found Karrimor KSB hiking boots excellent in all weathers , but my feet did get wet when doing the Sheffield Round walk + Stanage Edge in snow last week . I think that's pretty good for a year old pair with 500 miles on the clock , which haven't been re-proofed in six months.

    In summer rain they're fine ; and I tend to wear them for all my day walking , even in the worst conditions unless venturing into true mountain terrain.

    Light weight and comfortable, but strong enough for moorland a ...

    After seven years use it's back to leather boots, if only to have dry feet. Comfortable, good fell walking boot in dry season.
    Hopeless winter boot in wet conditions. Do not even consider "bog trotting " in these.

    People who moan about shoes not being waterproof, stopppp moaning, look at the prices you are paying, if you want real real waterproof boots then go pay £240 for a pair of the best (Meindl) and trekk upto 6000 meters in snow with warm dry feet. what do you expect when you pay £50 and moan too.??

    Karrimor KSB boots looked ok in blue & good price in Outdoor sale. However, I have had 2 pairs now & both leaked in very short periods of time. All i wanted was somthing to put on in the morning to walk my dogs around a field of short grass & hopefully not get my feet wet but also able to wear out. Question - why do they keep saying waterproof when there not! Now have pair of "Orkneys" seem ok up to now.

    Don't buy if you want dry feet. Second time I've bought boots with 'event' waterproofing systems (first pair not Karrimor) and both times they've failed well before12 months of use. Will stick to boots with goretex linings from now on.

    Although I didnt have to break them in, I have been walking for 20+ years so have hard feet. Excellent 2 season hill boot and brilliant as a walk in boot for climbs.
