FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
The Karrimor Duma Running Shoes are designed as an entry-level option, providing comfort and support for casual runs and beginners. While suitable for building stamina, they may not offer the advanced cushioning and stability required for intense marathon training over long distances.
How do I clean my Karrimor Duma shoes?
We recommend hand washing your shoes. Gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft brush or cloth. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat to preserve the materials.
What is the benefit of the Ortholite insole?
The Ortholite insole provides exceptional long-term cushioning, high-level breathability, and moisture management, helping to keep your feet comfortable and dry during your runs.
Are these shoes true to size?
Karrimor Duma Running Shoes generally fit true to standard UK adult female sizes. However, foot shapes vary, so it's always best to try them on to ensure the perfect fit, especially if you are between sizes or have specific foot concerns.
Can I use these shoes for daily walking or gym workouts?
Yes, absolutely! The comfortable Ortholite insole and lightweight phylon midsole make these shoes an excellent choice for daily walking, light gym workouts, and general everyday wear where comfort is key.
What does the 'seamless knitted upper' mean for comfort?
The seamless knitted upper minimizes seams and stitching, which reduces potential friction points and irritation, leading to a more comfortable, sock-like fit that adapts to your foot's shape and movement.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lace fastening. Ensure you're wearing appropriate running socks. If discomfort persists, double-check your UK shoe size; foot size can change over time.
Foot discomfort or blisters after running
Ensure you have broken in the shoes properly with shorter walks/runs. Check your lacing technique to avoid pressure points. Use moisture-wicking socks to prevent friction. If issues persist, consult a specialist for gait analysis.
Reduced cushioning or support over time
Running shoes have a lifespan, typically 300-500 miles. If the midsole feels flat or the outsole is worn, it may be time to replace your shoes. Info needed: [Specific lifespan recommendations based on materials if available].
Shoes make squeaking noises
This can sometimes occur if the insole rubs against the inside of the shoe. Try removing and re-inserting the Ortholite insole. If it's due to moisture, ensure shoes are thoroughly dried after use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting started with your Karrimor Duma Running Shoes is straightforward:
- Lacing: Ensure laces are threaded evenly and tied securely but not overly tight. Adjust to your foot's comfort, leaving enough room for natural foot swelling during activity.
- Break-In Period: While comfortable from the start, a short break-in period of a few shorter runs or walks can help the shoes fully conform to your feet.
Compatibility
- Activity: Best suited for entry-level running, light jogging, walking, and general fitness activities.
- Surface: Ideal for road, pavement, treadmill, and light track surfaces. Not recommended for aggressive trail running or uneven terrain due to their low-profile design.
- User: Designed for adult female runners, particularly those seeking comfort and support to begin or maintain a consistent running routine.
Care
Proper care extends the life of your running shoes:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- 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 in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Rotation: If you run frequently, consider rotating between two pairs of shoes to allow each pair to fully dry out and recover between uses.
