FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The Karrimor Summit Walking Shoes feature mesh panels for breathability, which means they are not designed to be fully waterproof. They offer some protection against light splashes but are best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions.

Can I use these for serious hiking?

These shoes are ideal for everyday light walks and casual outdoor use. For serious, rugged, or multi-day hiking expeditions, you may want to consider a shoe with more aggressive support and waterproofing features.

How do I choose the right size?

We recommend selecting your standard UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, or plan to wear thicker socks, consider trying the next half size up for optimal comfort.

What type of terrain are these best for?

Thanks to the Dynagrip rubber sole, these shoes perform well on packed dirt trails, gravel paths, urban sidewalks, and grassy areas. They provide reliable traction for varied light outdoor terrains.

How should I clean the Ortholite insole?

The Ortholite insole can be removed and hand-washed gently with mild soap and water. Allow it to air dry completely, away from direct heat, before placing it back into the shoe.

Is the toe box reinforced?

Yes, the shoes feature a wrap-around toe box designed to offer extra protection to your toes against minor bumps and impacts you might encounter on light trails.

Will these shoes provide good arch support?

The Ortholite insole offers a comfortable and supportive base, contributing to overall foot comfort. While it provides good general support, individuals requiring specific or high arch support may benefit from custom orthotics.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel hot or sweaty during walks.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks. The shoes feature mesh panels for breathability, but sock choice can significantly impact comfort. Consider taking breaks to air out your feet on longer walks.

Shoes feel too loose or too tight.

Re-adjust the lace-up front. Experiment with different lacing techniques to find the optimal fit for your foot shape and activity. For persistent issues, verify you have the correct shoe size.

Slipping on wet surfaces.

While the Dynagrip rubber sole provides good traction, no shoe is entirely slip-proof on all wet or icy surfaces. Exercise caution on very slick conditions. Ensure the sole is clean of mud or debris that might reduce grip.

Squeaking sound when walking.

A common cause can be the insole rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing the Ortholite insole, dusting the inside of the shoe and the bottom of the insole with a little talcum powder, then reinserting it. If the squeak persists, check for any loose elements inside the shoe.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight Comfort: Phylon midsole and mesh panels contribute to a light feel and good breathability.
  • Reliable Traction: Dynagrip rubber sole provides strong grip on light trails and varied outdoor surfaces.
  • Enhanced Foot Protection: Wrap-around toe box safeguards against common trail hazards.
  • Superior Cushioning: Ortholite insole and phylon midsole work together for all-day comfort.
  • Secure, Adjustable Fit: Traditional lace-up design allows for personalized tightness.

Cons

  • Best for Light Walks: Optimized for everyday light walks, potentially less suitable for rugged, technical hiking or extensive backpacking.
  • Limited Water Resistance: Mesh panels, while breathable, may offer less protection against heavy rain or standing water.
  • Specific Use: Primarily designed for casual outdoor use, not heavy-duty mountaineering or extreme conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

The Karrimor Summit Walking Shoes feature a traditional lace-up front.

  1. Unlace the shoes sufficiently to easily slide your foot in.
  2. Once your foot is comfortably inside, begin tightening the laces from the bottom upwards.
  3. Adjust the tension to achieve a snug, supportive fit without being too tight.
  4. Tie a secure knot.

Compatibility

These shoes are designed for adult men and are available in a range of UK foot sizes (e.g., UK 7, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 12, 13). They are intended for general outdoor walking and light trail use.

Care

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Karrimor Summit Walking Shoes:

  • Cleaning: Clean with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt and debris. For tougher spots, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Drying: If shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can damage materials or cause shrinkage.
  • Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
  • Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry the shoes, as this can compromise their structure and materials.
