Karrimor Caracal Trail Trainers - Black - UK 9.5

The product description does not specify if these trainers are waterproof. They are designed for general trail use and everyday wear, suggesting some resistance to light moisture, but they are unlikely to be fully waterproof unless explicitly stated by the manufacturer. For wet conditions, consider adding a water-repellent spray.

While providing excellent comfort and support, these trainers are primarily designed for 'trail adventures' and 'everyday wear,' which typically implies walking, light hiking, or casual use. For specialized long-distance running, especially on technical terrain, dedicated running shoes might offer more optimized features for impact absorption and gait support.

Karrimor sizes generally run true to UK standard. We recommend trying them on to ensure a comfortable fit, especially with the type of socks you typically wear. If trying on isn't possible, refer to Karrimor's official sizing chart and measure your foot length for the most accurate fit.

The Ortholite insole provides superior, long-lasting cushioning and breathability. It's designed to wick away moisture, inhibit odor and fungus, and offer resilient rebound over time, contributing significantly to all-day comfort and foot health.

Yes, the Lightweight PU Upper Cage is designed for durability and to provide stable foot security. PU (Polyurethane) is known for its resilience and ability to withstand wear and tear, making it suitable for both trail and everyday conditions.

While the Dynagrip outsole offers excellent traction, the trainers are not specified as insulated or waterproof for severe winter conditions. For heavy snow, ice, or very cold temperatures, specialized winter-specific footwear with enhanced insulation and grip would be more appropriate.

Ensure correct sizing. Check if socks are appropriate (non-cotton, moisture-wicking). Re-tie laces to adjust pressure points. Allow for a break-in period. If discomfort persists, consider an alternative insole or consult a footwear specialist.

Ensure the Dynagrip outsole is clean and free of mud or debris that could reduce traction. While designed for excellent grip, extreme conditions like ice or slick moss may still pose challenges. Check the outsole for excessive wear; worn treads reduce grip.

Remove insoles and air them out after each use. Use foot powder. Ensure trainers are completely dry after wear or cleaning. If odor persists, wash insoles with mild soap and water, ensuring they are fully dry before reinserting. Store in a well-ventilated area.

Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, gently wipe with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild, non-abrasive soap. Avoid scrubbing too hard, as this can damage the material. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry.
