Product Information

Full details

FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for everyday casual wear?

While comfortable, the Karrimor Caracal Waterproof Trainers are primarily designed for rugged trail use. Their advanced features like the Dynagrip outsole and supportive cage are optimized for outdoor activities, so they might feel a bit robust for purely casual wear.

How do I clean the waterproof membrane?

The waterproof membrane is integrated into the shoe's construction. Clean the exterior of the trainers with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could compromise the membrane's integrity.

What is the lifespan of the waterproofing?

The lifespan of the waterproofing depends on usage and care. Regular cleaning and occasional reapplication of a suitable waterproofing treatment can help maintain its effectiveness over time.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and the waterproof membrane. Always clean them by hand with a damp cloth.

How do I ensure I've got the right size?

Refer to the sizing guide and measure your foot. Ensure there is enough room for your toes to wiggle slightly, especially if you plan to wear thicker hiking socks. The UK size 7 is provided for this specific model.

What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?

For best results and comfort, especially when hiking, wear moisture-wicking socks made from materials like merino wool or synthetic blends. These help manage moisture and prevent blisters.

Are there other color options available?

Yes, the Karrimor Caracal series is available in various colours, including Black and other shades. Please check the product listings for available options.

Troubleshooting

Water seeping into the trainers

Ensure laces are tied properly and check for any visible tears or damage to the waterproof membrane. Reapply waterproofing treatment if necessary.

Reduced grip on surfaces

Clean the outsole thoroughly with water to remove any embedded mud or debris that might be reducing traction.

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure the correct size is being worn and consider using appropriate hiking socks. Break in the trainers on shorter walks before undertaking long distances.

Odour inside the trainers

Remove insoles and air them out separately. Use a shoe deodorizer spray or place baking soda inside overnight to absorb smells. Ensure trainers are fully dry between uses.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Keeps feet dry in wet conditions thanks to the waterproof membrane.
  • Offers excellent stability and support on uneven trails with its upper cage and outsole.
  • Provides superior traction on various surfaces, reducing the risk of slips.
  • Durable design suitable for rugged outdoor use.
  • Lightweight construction for enhanced comfort during long walks.

Cons

  • May be overly robust for casual, everyday wear.
  • Specific color and size combinations might be limited.
  • Requires proper care to maintain waterproofing effectiveness.
  • Traction is optimized for trails; may perform differently on very smooth indoor surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready for use straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility: Primarily designed for outdoor trail activities. While comfortable, their specialized grip and support features are best utilized on natural terrain rather than purely for athletic track use or as formal footwear.

Care: To maintain the condition and waterproofing of your Karrimor Caracal trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and mud after each use. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used gently.
  2. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as these can damage the waterproof membrane and materials.
  3. Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically, consider using a waterproofing spray suitable for outdoor footwear to refresh the water-repellent properties of the upper materials.
