FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?

The Karrimor Duma 6 are best suited for beginner runners, daily runs, and gym sessions. For marathon training, which requires specialized support and cushioning, a more advanced model might be preferable.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the midfoot should feel snug but not constricting.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.

What is the benefit of the Ortholite insole?

The Ortholite insole provides long-term cushioning, breathability, and moisture management, contributing to enhanced comfort and a drier foot environment.

How often should I replace my running shoes?

For optimal performance and to prevent injury, running shoes are typically recommended to be replaced every 300-500 miles (approximately 480-800 km) or when the cushioning and support feel diminished.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the Karrimor Duma 6 running shoes are not waterproof. They are designed with a breathable knitted upper, which allows air circulation but does not prevent water ingress.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. Loosen the laces and try re-lacing them, ensuring an even distribution of tension. If the issue persists, consider if the size is correct for your foot.

Slight discomfort during first few uses

New running shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short walks or light activities to allow them to mold to your feet. If discomfort continues after a week, re-evaluate the fit.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

The rubber pods offer good grip, but performance can be reduced on extremely wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris, as this can also impact traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The Karrimor Duma 6 are designed as general-purpose trainers. They are compatible with typical athletic wear and are suitable for a wide range of foot types, particularly those seeking a standard fit.

Care: To maintain the condition of your Karrimor Duma 6 running shoes:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt and dust. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Insoles: If removable, take out the insoles and clean them separately. Ensure they are completely dry before reinserting.
  4. Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
