FAQs
What type of terrain are these shoes best suited for?
The Karrimor Summit Hiking Shoes are best suited for moderate hiking trails, woodland paths, and general outdoor walking. The Dynagrip sole provides good traction on varied surfaces like gravel, grass, and light rocky terrain.
Are these shoes waterproof?
These shoes feature mesh panels for breathability, which means they are not fully waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture but are not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy rain or deep water.
How should I clean the suede material?
Gently brush off loose dirt with a suede brush. For tougher marks, use a slightly damp cloth or a specialized suede cleaner. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.
What is the benefit of the Ortholite insole?
The Ortholite insole provides enhanced comfort through cushioning, improves breathability to keep feet dry, and offers good moisture management.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the shoes are designed to accommodate the removal of the existing insole, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if needed.
What sizes are available?
These shoes are available in various UK adult male sizes. Please refer to the product listing for specific size availability.
How do I ensure a secure fit?
Utilize the lace-up front to adjust the fit according to your preference. Ensure the heel is snug and there is no excessive slipping when walking.
Troubleshooting
Slight discomfort during initial wear
Wear the shoes for short periods around the house to allow them to mold to your feet. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not tight fit.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
While the Dynagrip sole offers good traction, extreme wet conditions can reduce grip. Use caution and consider trekking poles for added stability. Ensure the sole is free from mud or debris.
Suede material appears dirty or stained
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth, then allow to air dry. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
