FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Duma 6 features a breathable knit upper that is not designed to be waterproof.
Can I use these for marathon running?
While durable, these are primarily entry-level trainers and are best suited for shorter distance training rather than high-mileage marathons.
How do I know if the size 7 is right for me?
It is recommended to have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural swelling during runs.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the Ortholite insoles are removable, allowing you to use your own custom orthotics if needed.
Are these suitable for the gym?
Yes, they provide enough lateral stability for general gym workouts, cardio machines, and treadmill use.
How often should I replace these shoes?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on the intensity and surfaces used.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels slightly loose despite tightening laces
Consider using the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to better secure the heel area.
Visible dirt on the knitted upper
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub the dry dirt away before attempting to wipe with a damp cloth.
Insole starts to lose comfort after long-term use
Remove the original Ortholite insole and replace it with a third-party arch support or cushioning insole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Karrimor Duma 6 trainers last, follow these guidelines:
- Fit Check: Ensure the laces are snug but not tight enough to restrict circulation. Your heel should stay locked in place when moving.
- Cleaning: Hand wash gently with mild soap and cold water. Never put these shoes in a washing machine or dryer, as the heat can degrade the phylon midsole and weaken the adhesive.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the materials to warp or shrink.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the colors from fading and the rubber components from hardening over time.
