FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?
The Karrimor Caracal Trail Trainers are not explicitly designed as waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to water may lead to wet feet. For waterproof needs, look for models specifically featuring a waterproof membrane.
Can I use these trainers for running?
These trainers are primarily designed for walking, light hiking, and general outdoor use. While they can be used for occasional light jogs on trails, for dedicated running, especially on varied terrain or for longer distances, specialized trail running shoes would offer better cushioning and support tailored for the impact of running.
How do I determine the correct size?
We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit. Your toes should have a small amount of space (about a thumb's width) between them and the end of the shoe, and your heel should feel secure without slipping excessively. If you are between sizes, consider the next half size up, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks.
What is the benefit of the Ortholite Insole?
The Ortholite Insole offers superior long-term cushioning and comfort, breathability, and moisture management. It's designed to provide a cooler, drier, healthier, and more comfortable experience inside the shoe.
How often should I clean my trainers?
The frequency depends on your usage. If you're regularly on muddy trails, cleaning after each significant use is recommended. For everyday wear, a quick wipe-down and brushing off dirt every few weeks should suffice to maintain their appearance and longevity.
Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?
No, we do not recommend machine washing these trainers. The intense agitation and high temperatures can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Always follow the manual care instructions for cleaning.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or rubbing during wear.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting your lacing technique to better secure your foot without overtightening. Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks to reduce friction.
Trainers feel slippery on certain wet surfaces.
While the Dynagrip outsole provides excellent traction, no shoe is entirely slip-proof on all wet surfaces. Always exercise caution. Check the outsole for excessive wear; if the tread is significantly worn, performance may be reduced.
Trainers retain unpleasant odors.
Remove the Ortholite insoles periodically and allow them to air dry. Sprinkle baking soda inside the trainers overnight to absorb odors. Ensure trainers are fully dry after use and consider using moisture-wicking socks.

Care
Cleaning:

Gently wipe the upper and outsole. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Drying:
Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature.
Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials.
Stuffing the trainers with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
