FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?
The Karrimor Caracal Trail Trainers are not specifically described as waterproof. They are designed for general trail and everyday use, and while they can handle light moisture, they may not keep your feet dry in heavy rain or wet conditions.
What kind of activities are these trainers best suited for?
These trainers are ideal for a range of activities including trail adventures, light hiking, long walks, and everyday casual wear. Their versatile design offers good performance on both rugged paths and urban environments.
How do I clean my Karrimor Caracal Trail Trainers?
To clean, first brush off any loose dirt. Then, use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe down the trainers. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. The Ortholite insoles can be removed and hand-washed separately.
What is an Ortholite insole?
An Ortholite insole is a specialized foam insole known for its superior cushioning, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties. It provides long-lasting comfort and helps keep your feet cool and dry.
Are these trainers true to size?
Most Karrimor footwear is generally true to size. However, foot shapes vary, so it's always recommended to try them on to ensure the best fit, especially if you plan on wearing thicker hiking socks.
Can I use these trainers for running?
While they are suitable for trail adventures and have good traction, these trainers are designed for general trail use and walking rather than high-performance trail running. For dedicated running, specialized running shoes might offer more tailored support and cushioning.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels unstable or slips inside the shoe.
Check your lacing technique to ensure the trainers are snugly tied. Consider trying different lacing patterns for a more secure fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks that fit well and prevent friction.
Reduced traction on certain surfaces.
Inspect the Dynagrip outsole for excessive wear or accumulation of dirt and debris. Clean the outsole thoroughly with a brush and water to restore grip. If the tread is significantly worn down, replacement may be necessary.
Discomfort or rubbing after extended wear.
Ensure you have broken in your trainers adequately. Check your sock type for proper cushioning and moisture-wicking properties. If discomfort persists, verify that the size and width are correct for your foot, as an ill-fitting shoe can cause issues.
Trainers develop an odor.
Remove the Ortholite insoles and wash them with mild soap and water, allowing them to air dry completely. For the trainers themselves, ensure they are thoroughly aired out after each use. You can also use shoe deodorizers or baking soda to absorb odors.

Care Instructions
To extend the lifespan of your trainers and maintain their performance, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: After use, especially on trails, brush off any loose dirt with a soft brush. For stubborn dirt, wipe the trainers with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. You can stuff them with newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Insoles: The Ortholite insoles can typically be removed and hand-washed separately with mild soap and water if they develop odors.
