Karrimor KSB Peak II Event

£80.00

LFTO rating rating is 3
Owners' rating rating is 4

Broad at the toe, yet narrow at the heel, the KSBs have a fairly distinctive fit. They’re reasonably well padded, feeling good from the word go, yet not too hot in milder conditions. The boots have a moderately stiff midsole, well-suited to all-round walking, and they’re reasonably light, so won’t feel clumsy on easier paths. An eVENT membrane provides the waterproofing and does a good job. Excellent value at £80.

    I have worn these boots for over a year now, on a weekly basis, on low level walks as well as higher ones in the Cheviot hills. The boots cope extremely well with boggy terrain - a must in the hills in the north - as well as any craggier bits that were encountered. Ok, so i haven't been up Ben Nevis in them, but they do exactly what they say on the tin - a lightweight pair of 3-season boots. Treat the uppers with Nikwax or Graingers and they won't get your tootsies wet at all. Worn in the height of summer as well as low level snow, for value for money, comfort and practicality they are superb. I would recommend them to any walker who wants good boots for a variety of terrain, although they may not be suited to high mountains where a stiffer sole may be needed.
