FAQs
What does 'entry-level running shoe' mean for my child?
An 'entry-level' shoe like the Karrimor Duma 6 is designed for comfort and basic support for children who are new to running or engaged in light to moderate athletic activities. It provides good cushioning and a secure fit but isn't built for the rigorous demands of competitive or long-distance training.
Are these shoes suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, their comfortable cushioning and lightweight design make them suitable for all-day wear, including school, playtime, and casual activities, in addition to running.
How do I choose the correct size for my child?
Measure your child's foot accurately, preferably at the end of the day. Compare this measurement to the Karrimor size chart. Ensure there's about a thumb's width of space between their longest toe and the end of the shoe for growth and comfort.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these shoes as it can damage the materials, cushioning, and adhesives. Always clean them by hand as described in the 'Care' section.
Do these shoes offer good arch support?
The Karrimor Duma 6 includes an EVA insole and Phylon midsole for general cushioning and comfort, which provides basic support. For children requiring specific arch support due to foot conditions, consult a pediatrician or podiatrist.
How durable is the hook and loop fastening?
The hook and loop fastening is designed to be durable for active use. To maximize its lifespan, ensure it is clean and free of debris (like lint or dirt) that can reduce its grip. Always secure the strap firmly.
Troubleshooting
My child complains the shoes are too tight or loose.
Ensure the hook and loop fastening is adjusted correctly. Re-measure your child's foot to confirm it is the correct size. Try different sock thicknesses. Shoes that are too small or too large can cause discomfort.
The shoes seem to get dirty very quickly.
Kids' shoes often get dirty! Regularly wipe down the shoes with a damp cloth after use. For mud, let it dry first, then gently brush it off before wiping. Refer to the 'Care' section for detailed cleaning tips.
My child's feet are sweating or getting hot in the shoes.
The seamless knitted upper offers some breathability. Ensure your child is wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks, not thick cotton socks, which can trap heat and moisture. Allow shoes to air out completely after each wear.
The rubber pods on the outsole look worn down quickly.
Wear and tear on outsoles is normal, especially with active children. The rubber pods provide traction. If they are significantly worn and affecting grip, it might be time to consider new shoes, as traction is key for safety.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting started with your Karrimor Duma 6 running shoes is straightforward:
- Open Fastening: Loosen the hook and loop strap completely.
- Insert Foot: Use the heel pull tab to help slide the foot into the shoe.
- Adjust Fit: Ensure the tongue is flat and centered. Close the hook and loop strap, adjusting until the shoe feels snug but not uncomfortably tight. There should be a small amount of space (about a thumb's width) between the longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Compatibility
- Age Group: Designed for kids.
- Gender: Primarily marketed for male children, but suitable for any child requiring the specified size.
- Activity: Best suited for entry-level running, light athletic activities, and general active wear.
Care
Proper care extends the life of your running shoes:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe off dirt with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive brushes.
- Drying: Air dry shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can damage materials. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Odor Control: Remove insoles to air out after use. You can also use shoe deodorizers.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid leaving them in damp or confined spaces.
