FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The Karrimor Summit Walking Shoes feature mesh panels for breathability, indicating they are not fully waterproof. They are suitable for dry to mildly damp conditions but may not keep your feet dry in heavy rain or deep puddles.

Can I use these shoes for strenuous hiking?

These shoes are designed for "everyday light walks" and outdoor adventures, offering comfort and traction on varied trails. For strenuous, rugged, or technical hiking, you might benefit from more specialized hiking boots with greater ankle support and a stiffer sole.

How do I clean my Karrimor Summit Walking Shoes?

Brush off loose dirt after each use. For tougher grime, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

What is the benefit of the Ortholite insole?

The Ortholite insole provides added comfort, cushioning, and contributes to a secure fit by molding to the shape of your foot. It also helps manage moisture and airflow within the shoe.

What kind of traction does the Dynagrip sole provide?

The Dynagrip rubber sole is engineered to provide extra traction on trails, offering a secure grip on a variety of outdoor surfaces, from dirt paths to light gravel.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

Info needed: Specific information on the width fitting is not provided. We recommend trying them on to ensure a comfortable fit if you have wide feet.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you've chosen the correct size (UK 4 for this variant). Try adjusting the lacing to be less restrictive across the top of your foot. Allow a break-in period for the Ortholite insole to conform to your foot. Consider trying different socks.

Feet feel hot and sweaty.

The mesh panels are designed for breathability. Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks. If the issue persists in extremely warm weather, consider taking breaks to air your feet.

Reduced traction on certain surfaces.

While the Dynagrip sole offers good traction, extremely slippery surfaces (e.g., wet mossy rocks, ice) may still pose a challenge. Ensure the sole is clean of mud or debris that could reduce grip. For very challenging conditions, these shoes may not be the best fit.

Squeaking sound while walking.

This can sometimes be caused by a new insole rubbing against the shoe's interior or trapped moisture. Remove the Ortholite insole, clean both the insole and the shoe's interior, and ensure everything is completely dry before reinserting. A sprinkle of talcum powder might also help.

Laces constantly come undone.

Ensure you are using a secure double knot. If the laces are worn or very smooth, they may need to be replaced with new, grippier laces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Getting started with your Karrimor Summit Walking Shoes is straightforward:

  1. Lace Up: Fully unlace the shoes to allow your foot to slide in comfortably.
  2. Insert Foot: Place your foot inside the shoe, ensuring your heel is seated correctly.
  3. Adjust Laces: Begin lacing from the bottom, pulling firmly but not too tightly, ensuring an even tension across your foot. The goal is a snug, secure fit without any pressure points.
  4. Double Knot: Secure the laces with a double knot to prevent them from coming undone during your walk.

Compatibility

These shoes are designed for:

  • Terrain: Best suited for paved paths, gravel trails, well-maintained dirt paths, and urban environments.
  • Weather: Ideal for dry to mildly damp conditions. The breathable mesh is great for warmer weather.
  • Activity: Light walks, daily errands, casual outdoor activities, and short, easy hikes.

They may not be the best choice for:

  • Heavy Backpacking: For carrying heavy loads over long distances, more robust support might be needed.
  • Extreme Terrain: Steep, rocky, or technical trails may require shoes with stiffer soles and ankle support.
  • Very Wet Conditions: As water resistance isn't a primary feature, heavy rain or deep puddles should be avoided to keep feet dry.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and performance of your walking shoes:

  • Cleaning: After each use, especially if dirty, brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For stubborn mud, wipe with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage materials. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing to prevent mildew and odor.
  • Lace Maintenance: Periodically check laces for fraying and replace if necessary to maintain a secure fit.
  • Insole Care: Remove and air out Ortholite insoles occasionally to keep them fresh. They can be hand-washed with mild soap and air-dried.
  • Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the shoe's structure and materials.
