FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for competitive running?

The Karrimor Duma 6 are designed as entry-level running shoes, ideal for beginners and general active play. While they offer good comfort and support, they are not intended for advanced competitive running or very long distances.

How do I ensure the correct size for my child?

It's best to measure your child's foot and compare it to a Karrimor size guide. When trying them on, ensure there's about a thumb's width space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe, and the heel should feel secure.

Can these shoes be machine washed?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash these shoes as it can damage the materials and structure. Please refer to the 'Care Instructions' section for proper cleaning methods.

What type of cushioning do these shoes offer?

The Karrimor Duma 6 features an EVA insole and a Phylon midsole. This combination provides a comfortable, lightweight, and cushioned experience for the wearer.

Is the hook and loop fastening durable?

Yes, the hook and loop fastening is designed to be durable and provide a secure, adjustable fit for active children throughout the shoe's lifespan.

Are these shoes good for everyday school wear?

Absolutely. Their comfortable fit, lightweight design, and ease of use make them an excellent choice for daily school wear, including during physical education classes and playtime.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or too loose

Ensure the hook and loop fastening is adjusted correctly. It should be snug but not restrictive. Also, check if the socks worn are too thick or too thin for the shoe's size.

Foot discomfort or rubbing

Verify the shoe size is correct. Allow a short 'break-in' period for the shoes to adapt to the foot. Ensure appropriate socks are worn to prevent friction.

Shoes getting dirty quickly

Regularly wipe down the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap. For persistent dirt, a soft brush can be used on the knitted upper before wiping. Avoid machine washing.

Unpleasant odor develops

Remove the EVA insoles and allow them and the shoes to air out. Consider using shoe deodorizers or sprinkling baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.

Care Instructions

  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
  • Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
  • Odor Control: If odors develop, remove the EVA insoles and air them out. You can also sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and insoles overnight, then shake it out.
