Karrimor Duma 6 Running Shoes - Red - 13

The Karrimor Duma 6 is designed as an entry-level running shoe, ideal for light jogging, active play, and general daily wear for children. For competitive running or very intense training, a more specialized running shoe with advanced support and cushioning features might be more appropriate.

We recommend measuring your child's feet regularly, as they grow quickly. Compare the measurements to a size chart. Ensure there's about a thumb's width space between their longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing, and that the shoe is snug but not tight across the width.

The hook and loop fastening is a type of closure that uses two components: one with tiny 'hooks' and one with tiny 'loops'. When pressed together, they interlock, providing a secure and adjustable strap. It's often referred to by a common brand name, 'Velcro'.

No, it is not recommended to machine wash these shoes. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning. Please refer to the 'Care' section for proper cleaning instructions using a damp cloth and mild soap.

For running shoes, 'entry-level' typically means they offer fundamental features like cushioning, support, and durability suitable for beginners, casual runners, or everyday active use. They might not include specialized technologies found in more advanced shoes designed for high-mileage training, specific gait corrections, or competitive racing.

Info needed: Please check the specific product or packaging to confirm if the EVA insole is designed to be removable. If so, removing them can aid in drying and odor control.

Ensure the hook and loop fastening is adjusted correctly. It should be snug, but not constricting. If the issue persists, verify the shoe size. Children's feet grow quickly, so re-measuring may be necessary.

Check the fit again, ensuring socks are appropriate and smooth. Inspect the inside of the shoe for any debris or rough spots. If new, allow a short break-in period. If discomfort continues, the size might be incorrect or the shoe shape unsuitable for their foot.

Examine the rubber pods on the outsole for excessive wear or damage. Ensure the shoes are clean and free from mud or debris that could reduce traction. For very smooth or wet surfaces, extra caution is always advised.

Remove shoes immediately after use and allow them to air dry completely. If insoles are removable, take them out to dry separately. Consider using a shoe deodorizer or sprinkling a small amount of baking soda inside overnight to absorb moisture and odor. Ensure socks are clean and breathable.
