FAQs
Are the Karrimor Summit Walking Shoes waterproof?
The Karrimor Summit Walking Shoes feature mesh panels for breathability and are designed for 'light walks.' They are not explicitly stated to be waterproof, so it's advisable to avoid heavy rain or very wet conditions to keep your feet dry and comfortable.
What type of activities are these shoes most suitable for?
These shoes are perfect for everyday light walks, gentle trails, park strolls, and general outdoor adventures where comfort, breathability, and reliable traction are key. They are ideal for leisure and casual outdoor use.
How do I clean my Karrimor Summit Walking Shoes?
To clean your shoes, gently brush off any loose dirt. For more stubborn marks, wipe them with a damp cloth using a mild soap. Allow them to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
What is Dynagrip?
Dynagrip is a specialized rubber sole technology developed by Karrimor. It's designed to provide enhanced traction and grip on various trail surfaces, helping you maintain stability and confidence during your walks.
What is Ortholite?
Ortholite is a brand of open-cell foam technology used in insoles. It provides superior cushioning, breathability, and moisture management, ensuring long-lasting comfort and a secure, cool fit inside the shoe.
Are these shoes true to size?
Most users find Karrimor Summit Walking Shoes to be true to size. For the best fit, we recommend selecting your usual shoe size. If possible, trying them on with the type of socks you typically wear for walking can help ensure optimal comfort.
Can I use these shoes for strenuous hiking or mountaineering?
The Karrimor Summit Walking Shoes are specifically designed for 'light walks' and everyday outdoor activities. While they offer good traction and comfort, for serious or strenuous hiking on challenging and rugged terrains, you might consider footwear with more robust support, ankle protection, and specialized features for extreme conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel uncomfortable or rub during walks.
Check your lacing. Ensure it's secure but not too tight. Make sure you're wearing appropriate walking socks, which can prevent friction and provide cushioning. Verify that the shoe size is correct and provides adequate toe room without excessive heel slip.
Feet feel hot or sweaty after a short walk.
While these shoes feature mesh panels for breathability, ensure these panels are clean and unobstructed. Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks designed for athletic activities to help manage sweat and keep your feet cooler.
Feeling a lack of grip on certain surfaces, despite Dynagrip.
The Dynagrip sole provides extra traction for 'light walks.' On extremely wet, muddy, or icy terrain, always exercise additional caution. These shoes are not designed for extreme conditions or very slick, challenging surfaces where more specialized footwear might be required.

Care
To maintain the quality and longevity of your Karrimor Summit Walking Shoes:
- Cleaning: After use, gently brush off any loose dirt or debris with a soft brush. For stubborn dirt, wipe the shoes with a damp cloth using a small amount of mild soap. Do not immerse them in water or machine wash.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing them lightly with newspaper can help maintain their shape and absorb residual moisture.
