FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, the Karrimor Duma 6 shoes are designed for comfort and durability with features like the EVA insole and seamless knitted upper, making them suitable for both running activities and general everyday wear for active kids.
How do I clean these shoes?
Gently wipe the shoes with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials. Air dry them away from direct heat sources to maintain their shape and integrity.
What kind of cushioning do these shoes have?
These shoes feature an EVA insole for soft footbed cushioning and a phylon midsole for lightweight shock absorption. This combination provides excellent comfort and support for young, active feet.
Are these shoes good for competitive running?
The Karrimor Duma 6 is designed as an entry-level running shoe, perfect for starting a running journey or for casual activities. For competitive running, a more specialized shoe with advanced features might be considered as your child progresses.
How does the hook and loop fastening work?
The hook and loop fastening allows for quick, easy, and secure adjustment. Children can simply pull the strap across the top of their foot and press it down to ensure a snug and personalized fit, promoting independence.
Do these shoes offer good grip?
Yes, the outsole is equipped with rubber pods specifically designed to provide enhanced traction and grip on various surfaces, helping to prevent slips during active play and running.
What is a seamless knitted upper?
A seamless knitted upper means the shoe's top part is constructed without traditional seams. This design enhances comfort by reducing friction points, improves durability, and often provides a more flexible and breathable fit.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight.
Adjust the hook and loop fastening strap to ensure a snug but comfortable fit. Check if the child is wearing appropriate thickness socks. Children's feet grow quickly, so regularly verify the size against their current foot measurements.
My child complains of discomfort after wearing.
Ensure the shoes are not too tight or too loose. Allow for a short 'break-in' period. Verify that socks are breathable and wrinkle-free. If discomfort persists, consider consulting a footwear specialist to check for proper sizing and fit.
Lack of grip on certain surfaces.
While the rubber pods on the outsole provide good traction, no shoe offers universal grip on all surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris that might reduce grip. On exceptionally wet or slippery surfaces, caution is advised.
The shoes develop an odor.
Regularly air out the shoes after use. Remove the EVA insole and allow it to dry separately. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoes overnight (ensure it's removed before wearing).

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions
Putting on your Karrimor Duma 6 shoes is straightforward, designed for ease of use by children and parents alike:
- Loosen the Strap: Fully open the hook and loop fastening strap located over the top of the foot.
- Insert Foot: Gently slide your foot into the shoe. Use the heel pull tab at the back to help guide your foot in smoothly and prevent creasing the heel counter.
- Secure the Fit: Once the foot is comfortably inside, pull the hook and loop strap across the top of the foot and press it down firmly to secure. Adjust to ensure it's snug but not too tight, allowing for natural foot movement.

They are compatible with various athletic socks and are best suited for recreational running, playground activities, and everyday casual use.
Care & Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your Karrimor Duma 6 Running Shoes:
- Cleaning: After use, especially if dirty, gently wipe the shoes with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes, as these can damage the knitted upper and sole materials. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources like radiators or heaters. Direct heat can cause materials to shrink, crack, or lose their shape.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent odor and material degradation.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove the EVA insole and air it out separately. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight (remove before wearing).
