FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for competitive running?

The Karrimor Duma 6 are designed as entry-level running shoes perfect for young runners starting their journey, recreational use, and general active play. For competitive racing, more specialized footwear might be required.

How do I clean the Karrimor Duma 6 shoes?

To clean, gently brush off any loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Do not put them in a washing machine or dryer.

What kind of support do these shoes offer?

These shoes offer good foundational support with a phylon midsole for lightweight cushioning and an EVA insole for added comfort. The seamless knitted upper provides a secure and stable fit around the foot.

Can my child wear these for daily school activities?

Absolutely! Their durable construction, comfortable cushioning, and easy-to-use hook and loop fastening make them excellent for daily school wear, playground activities, and general active use.

Are the shoes breathable?

Yes, the seamless knitted upper is designed to provide good breathability, helping to keep your child's feet comfortable during active periods.

How do I ensure the best fit for my child?

Ensure your child's heel is fully seated in the shoe, using the heel pull tab if needed. Fasten the hook and loop strap securely so the shoe feels snug but leaves room for natural foot movement without being overly tight. There should be a thumb's width space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too loose or too tight.

Adjust the hook and loop fastening. Ensure the strap is firmly secured for a snug fit, but not so tight that it causes discomfort or restricts circulation. Check socks for thickness.

My child finds it hard to put on the shoes.

Utilize the heel pull tab for easier entry. Ensure the hook and loop strap is fully open before trying to insert the foot. Practice makes perfect!

Shoes seem to wear out quickly on the sole.

While the rubber pods on the outsole provide good traction and durability, heavy use on abrasive surfaces can accelerate wear. Inspect where your child primarily uses the shoes. Consider rotating with other footwear for varied activities.
