FAQs
Are Karrimor K2 Walking Sandals suitable for walking in water?
Yes, the Karrimor K2 Walking Sandals are designed with an all-weather Dynagrip rubber outsole that provides great traction even when wading through mountain creeks or on wet trails. The vented upper also helps them dry more quickly.
How do I ensure the best fit with the quick release lacing system?
To get the best fit, simply slip your foot in and pull the toggle on the lacing system until the sandal feels snug and secure, without being too tight. You can easily adjust it on the go for optimal comfort.
Are these sandals comfortable for long distances?
Absolutely. The K2 sandals feature a soft moulded EVA sock insert combined with a flexible EVA sole unit, which maximizes cushioning and provides excellent comfort and support for extended walks and outdoor activities.
What kind of terrain can I use these sandals on?
The K2 sandals are designed for diverse outdoor terrain, including rocky paths, gravel trails, and even wet surfaces like stream beds, thanks to the robust Dynagrip rubber outsole.
How should I clean my Karrimor K2 Walking Sandals?
After use, especially if dirty, rinse them with fresh water. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and a soft brush. Ensure they are thoroughly air dried away from direct heat before storing to prevent odors.
Do these sandals offer good ventilation?
Yes, they feature a fully vented upper specifically designed to keep your feet cool and comfortable by allowing maximum airflow, making them ideal for warm weather conditions.
Will these sandals protect my feet from sharp objects?
While the sole offers good underfoot protection, the open design of the K2 sandals means they provide less protection for the top and sides of your feet from sharp debris compared to a closed-toe shoe or boot. They are best for general outdoor trails rather than extremely rugged, debris-heavy environments.
Troubleshooting
My feet feel like they're slipping inside the sandal, especially when wet.
Ensure the quick release lacing system is pulled snug to secure your foot properly. If the footbed feels excessively slick, gently clean it with mild soap and water to remove any built-up oils or residue that might be contributing to the slipperiness.
The sandals feel too tight or too loose on my feet.
Utilize the quick release lacing system. To tighten, pull the toggle further along the laces until the desired snugness is achieved. To loosen, gently push the toggle back, allowing the laces to relax. Adjust until you find a comfortable yet secure fit.
I'm experiencing less grip than expected on certain surfaces.
Check the Dynagrip rubber outsole for any embedded debris like small stones or mud that might be reducing traction. Clean the sole thoroughly with water and a brush to restore its optimal grip. Also, ensure the surface isn't beyond the sandal's intended use (e.g., extremely slippery ice or slick, moss-covered rock).
The sandals have developed an unpleasant odor.
Odor usually indicates moisture and bacteria buildup. Thoroughly rinse the sandals with fresh water and clean the footbed and straps with a mild soap. Allow them to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat. Regular cleaning and ensuring they dry fully after each use will help prevent odors.
My foot feels uncomfortable or a pressure point has developed.
Re-adjust the quick release lacing system to distribute pressure evenly across your foot. Sometimes, a slight adjustment can alleviate pressure points. Also, ensure the soft moulded EVA sock insert is sitting correctly. If discomfort persists, check for any foreign objects or wear patterns on the footbed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting started with your Karrimor K2 Walking Sandals is straightforward:
- Adjusting the Fit: Place your foot into the sandal. The quick release lacing system allows for easy tightening or loosening. Pull the toggle to draw the laces snug against your foot. Ensure the fit is secure but comfortable, preventing your foot from sliding without being too tight.
- Initial Walk: Take a short walk to ensure the fit is optimal. Adjust the lacing as needed.
Compatibility
These sandals are highly versatile and compatible with a range of activities and environments:
- Ideal for: Day hikes on light to moderate trails, camping, backpacking (as camp shoes), waterside activities (kayaking, paddleboarding, creek wading), beach walks, and general warm-weather casual wear.
- Suitable for: Varied terrain including gravel, dirt paths, rocky sections, and wet surfaces thanks to the Dynagrip outsole.
- Less Suitable for: Extreme cold weather, highly technical mountaineering, or trails with abundant sharp debris where a closed-toe boot with ankle support would be more appropriate.
Care
Proper care extends the life of your Karrimor K2 Walking Sandals:
- Cleaning: After use, especially if they've been in mud, dirt, or saltwater, rinse the sandals thoroughly with fresh water. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap (like dish soap) and a soft brush or cloth to gently clean the straps, footbed, and sole.
- Drying: Allow your sandals to air dry completely. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged direct sunlight, as these can damage the materials. Ensure they are fully dry before storing to prevent odors or mildew.
- Storage: Store your sandals in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid crushing them under heavy items to maintain their shape.
