Karrimor Waterproof Hiking Shoes

Karrimor is a historic British brand that built its reputation on high-quality outdoor equipment, particularly backpacks and technical footwear. Founded in 1946 by Charles and Mary Parsons as the Karrimor Bag Company, it quickly became a staple for climbers and explorers around the world, known for innovations in pack design and durable materials.

In the early 2000s, the brand transitioned from its independent roots as it was acquired by what is now Frasers Group. This acquisition shifted the brand's focus toward a wider commercial market, offering accessible outdoor gear through major retail chains while maintaining its identity as a provider of technical mountain equipment and waterproof hiking footwear. While the brand has its heritage in the United Kingdom, manufacturing is primarily outsourced to major production centers in Asia to support global distribution and competitive pricing.

Today, Karrimor remains a dominant name in the outdoor sector, managed under the extensive portfolio of Mike Ashley’s Frasers Group. It continues to supply a range of products from professional-grade climbing gear to everyday leisure wear and running shoes.
