Gear Reviews

Karrimor Meridian Low event

£65.00

LFTO rating
Owners' rating

A bit clumpier than most, mainly courtesy of a very padded upper, but they benefit from a very well-balanced midsole that does a good job of evening out the rough patches without feeling too stiff, and the eVENT waterproof membrane is excellent, keeping water out yet breathing well. They offer good protection for the toe and heel, and the aggressive lugs on the Vibram outsole seem perfectly suited to typical soft UK going. Generally a nice shoe well-suited to walking.

Value for money

Just picked up a pair of these today from Donnay -the sports store. The were reduced to £24.99, then reduced again to £15 !! Well worth the money at that price. The reviews right, they do feel a but clumpy, but they are waterproof & I'll perhaps do a more indepth report after I've worn them for a while. They do seem roomy, I'm normally a size 10 but bought 9 in these. But if you've been thinking about buying these, grab a bargain whilst you can!
