Karrimor Summit Walking Shoes - Black - UK 4

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
