FAQs
Are the Karrimor Salina Leather Walking Sandals waterproof?
No, as they are crafted from leather and suede, these sandals are not designed to be waterproof. They can withstand light splashes, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion in water is not recommended and may damage the materials.
How do I choose the right size?
Karrimor Salina sandals are generally true to size. We recommend choosing your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. The adjustable heel strap allows for some flexibility in fit.
Can I wear these for serious hiking?
These sandals are designed for light walking, casual trails, and everyday wear. While they offer good support and traction for such activities, they are not intended for heavy-duty hiking, mountainous terrain, or conditions requiring closed-toe protection.
What is 'Dynagrip' rubber?
Dynagrip is Karrimor's proprietary rubber outsole technology designed to provide enhanced grip and traction on a variety of surfaces, ensuring stability and safety during your walks.
How do I clean the footbed?
The moulded footbed can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow it to air dry completely before wearing again. Avoid harsh cleaning agents that could damage the footbed material.
Is the sole flexible?
The sole offers a good balance of flexibility for natural foot movement and rigidity for support, particularly thanks to the fully moulded footbed. It's designed to be comfortable for walking while providing necessary stability.
Troubleshooting
My sandals feel too loose or too tight.
The Karrimor Salina sandals feature a Velcro fastening at the heel. Adjust this strap to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. Experiment with slight adjustments until your foot feels secure without excessive pressure.
I'm experiencing some discomfort after long walks.
Ensure the sandals are properly adjusted and broken in. While the footbed is moulded for comfort, new footwear can sometimes require a short break-in period. Also, verify that the size is correct; an ill-fitting sandal can cause discomfort over time.
The sandals are slipping on wet surfaces.
While equipped with a Dynagrip outsole for good traction, no sole is entirely slip-proof on all wet surfaces. Exercise caution on very wet or slick ground, especially if it's muddy or covered in algae. These sandals are not designed for extreme wet conditions.
The leather/suede looks dull or stained.
For suede, use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove superficial dirt. For leather, wipe gently with a damp cloth. For more persistent stains, use a leather or suede cleaner specifically designed for footwear, following the product's instructions carefully. Regular conditioning for leather and protective sprays for both materials can prevent this issue.

Care Instructions
To ensure your leather and suede sandals last and look their best:
- Cleaning: For general dirt, gently brush suede with a specialized suede brush. For leather, wipe with a damp, soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: If they get wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight) to prevent cracking or warping of the leather/suede.
- Conditioning: Periodically use a leather conditioner specifically designed for walking sandals or footwear to keep the leather supple and prevent drying out.
- Protection: Consider applying a water and stain protector spray suitable for leather and suede to offer an extra layer of defense against the elements and spills.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing with tissue paper can help maintain their shape.
