FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
The Karrimor Duma 6 is designed as an entry-level running shoe. While suitable for shorter distances and starting out, they may not provide the sustained cushioning and support required for marathon distances compared to specialized marathon shoes.
How do I determine my correct UK shoe size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Karrimor or the retailer. Generally, UK size 8 corresponds to a specific foot length measurement. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the chart.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the adhesives, materials, and structural integrity of the shoe. Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap instead.
What type of running is the Duma 6 best for?
The Duma 6 is best suited for road running, treadmill use, and light, dry casual trails. It is ideal for beginners and those looking for comfortable shoes for fitness walking or light jogging.
How durable is the seamless knitted upper?
The seamless knitted upper is designed for durability in an entry-level shoe, offering a strong yet flexible fit. However, it may not withstand the same level of abrasion as reinforced uppers found on higher-performance models.
What is the main benefit of the Ortholite insole?
The Ortholite insole provides enhanced long-term cushioning, breathability, and moisture management, contributing to overall comfort during your runs.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring not to overtighten. If the issue persists, consider if a larger size is needed.
Lack of cushioning felt
Ensure the Ortholite insole is correctly positioned. For increased cushioning, consider adding a compatible aftermarket insole.
Slipping during runs
Check that the outsole is clean and free from excessive dirt or debris. Ensure you are running on surfaces appropriate for the shoe's traction capabilities.
Discomfort in the upper knit
Ensure laces are adjusted to provide a comfortable pressure distribution. Wear with appropriate athletic socks to minimize potential rubbing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap and water solution. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.

- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight for extended periods.
