- Genuinely waterproof for normal rain, wet grass, and shallow puddles
- Comfortable from day one, especially with a better insole
- Good grip on wet pavements and muddy tracks for everyday use
Overall, the Karrimor Bodmin Weathertite boots are solid budget workhorses.
Theyβre not fancy, theyβre not pretending to be high-end mountaineering boots, but for everyday use they do their job very well. Waterproofing is genuinely good for normal conditions, grip is reliable on wet pavements and muddy paths, and comfort is decent straight out of the box. Add a better insole and theyβre actually quite nice to walk in for longer distances.The main downsides are predictable for the price: thinner suede, a very basic footbed, and cheap laces that are likely to fail early. If youβre expecting them to survive years of heavy backpacking in tough terrain, youβll probably be disappointed. But if you treat them as daily waterproof beaters β dog walks, local hikes, autumn/winter errands β they make a lot of sense. Iβd recommend them to anyone who wants a no-nonsense boot that can handle bad weather without draining the bank account. Serious hikers with bigger budgets or people who need maximum support for rough mountains should look higher up the range.
