FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter use?
Yes, the waterproof technology makes them suitable for cold and wet conditions, though they are not insulated for sub-zero temperatures.
Can I use these for running?
While they are comfortable for long walks, they are primarily designed as walking and light hiking trainers, not technical running shoes.
How do I maintain the waterproof performance?
Keep the shoes clean of grit and mud, and consider applying a water-repellent spray specifically designed for synthetic outdoor footwear.
Are these true to size?
The Karrimor Kestrel generally fits true to UK sizing standards for outdoor footwear.
Can the insoles be removed?
Yes, the standard insoles can be removed to accommodate custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Water leaking into the shoe
Check the upper for debris or dried mud blocking the pores of the waterproof membrane and clean thoroughly.
Loss of traction on smooth surfaces
Inspect the Dynagrip sole for packed mud or grit in the tread patterns and remove using a stiff brush.
Discomfort or heel slippage
Re-lace the shoes using the top eyelets to secure the ankle lock and ensure the socks are not too thin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Karrimor Kestrel trainers, always loosen the laces fully before putting them on to avoid damaging the heel counter. If the shoes become muddy, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as excessive heat can degrade the Weathertite membrane and adhesives. Clean the exterior with a soft brush and lukewarm water. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can compromise the waterproof properties of the upper material.
