FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Karrimor Summit Walking Shoes feature mesh panels for breathability, which typically means they are not fully waterproof. They are designed for light walks and dry conditions rather than heavy rain or wading through water. For wet conditions, consider shoes specifically designed with waterproof membranes.
Can I use these for long-distance or strenuous hiking?
These shoes are best suited for 'light walks' and everyday use due to their lightweight design and focus on comfort and breathability. For long-distance, strenuous hiking or challenging terrains, a more robust hiking boot with greater ankle support and heavy-duty waterproofing would be more appropriate.
How do I clean the shoes?
Clean your Karrimor Summit Walking Shoes with a soft dry cloth. Allow any mud to dry before brushing it off gently. Avoid using harsh chemicals, detergents, or machine washing, as this can damage the materials.
What is the benefit of the Ortholite insole?
The Ortholite insole provides enhanced cushioning, moisture management, and breathability, contributing to overall comfort and a more secure fit inside the shoe. It also helps to prevent odor.
Do these shoes require a break-in period?
While these shoes are designed for immediate comfort, a short break-in period (a few short walks) is always recommended for any new footwear to ensure they fully adapt to your foot shape and movements before undertaking longer excursions.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel uncomfortable or rub during walks.
Check your lacing; ensure it's snug but not overly tight. Wear appropriate walking socks designed to prevent friction. If discomfort persists, ensure the shoe size is correct and consider trying alternative insoles if needed.
Feet feel hot or sweaty, especially during warm weather.
The mesh panels are designed for breathability. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks. If possible, remove shoes and allow feet to air out during breaks. Clean shoes regularly to prevent odor buildup.
Traction seems reduced on certain surfaces.
While the Dynagrip sole offers good traction, no shoe can prevent all slips. Be cautious on extremely wet, icy, or loose terrain. Inspect the sole for any embedded debris or excessive wear that might reduce grip.
Laces frequently come undone.
Ensure you are tying a secure knot, such as a double knot. If the laces are worn, consider replacing them with new, durable walking shoe laces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting started with your Karrimor Summit Walking Shoes is straightforward:
- Lacing: Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets. Sit down and place your foot firmly in the shoe.
- Adjust Fit: Begin tightening the laces from the toe upwards. Pull snugly but not too tightly to avoid pressure points.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your walking shoes:
- Cleaning: Clean your Karrimor Summit Walking Shoes using a soft dry cloth. Gently wipe away any dirt or debris after each use. For stubborn mud, allow it to dry and then brush it off.
- Drying: If shoes become wet, remove the insoles and stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture. Air dry them at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can damage materials.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area when not in use. Avoid storing them in damp or confined spaces.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or washing machines, as these can damage the materials and adhesives.
