FAQs
Are Karrimor Summit Walking Shoes waterproof?
Info needed: The product description does not specify if these shoes are waterproof. They feature mesh panels for breathability, which typically indicates a non-waterproof design, making them best suited for dry conditions.
Can I use these shoes for strenuous hiking or mountaineering?
No, these Karrimor Summit Walking Shoes are designed for 'everyday light walks' and casual outdoor adventures. For strenuous hiking, rugged terrain, or mountaineering, you would typically need more robust hiking boots with greater support and protection.
How do I choose the correct size?
These shoes are available in UK sizing. It's recommended to try them on, ideally with the type of socks you plan to wear, to ensure a comfortable and secure fit. Your toes should have a little room to move, but your heel should not slip excessively.
What kind of terrain are these shoes best suited for?
They are best suited for light trails, park paths, gravel walkways, and general urban or suburban outdoor use. The Dynagrip sole provides good traction on these less challenging surfaces.
What is the benefit of the Ortholite insole?
The Ortholite insole provides additional cushioning and comfort for your feet, contributing to a secure and supportive fit within the shoe during your walks.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel uncomfortable or rub during walks.
Adjust the lace-up front to ensure a proper, secure fit. Experiment with different lacing techniques. Also, check that you are wearing appropriate, well-fitting walking socks to prevent friction.
Reduced traction on certain surfaces.
Clean the Dynagrip rubber sole thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt, mud, or small stones that might be compromising grip. Check the tread for excessive wear, which could indicate it's time for new footwear.
Feet feel warm or sweaty.
Ensure the mesh panels are clean and unobstructed to allow for maximum airflow. Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks designed for athletic use, which can help draw sweat away from your feet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
First-Time Setup
- Lacing: Before your first use, ensure the laces are threaded correctly and evenly. Adjust the lace-up front to achieve a snug but comfortable fit, allowing your foot to sit securely without excessive pressure points.
- Initial Wear: Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to conform to your feet. Ensure you're wearing appropriate walking socks for the best experience.

- Terrain: Best suited for light trails, park pathways, urban environments, and general outdoor use where enhanced grip is beneficial.
- Activity Level: Designed for everyday light walks and casual outdoor adventures, not for heavy-duty mountaineering or highly technical trails.

Product Care
Proper care extends the life and performance of your Karrimor Summit Walking Shoes:
- Cleaning:
- Brush off loose dirt and debris using a soft brush after each use.
- For tougher grime, wipe the surface with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap.
- Gently clean the mesh panels with a soft brush and soapy water.
- Avoid harsh cleaning agents, as they can damage materials.
- Drying:
- Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature.
- Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can cause materials to crack or shrink.
- You can stuff the shoes with newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
