FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for long-distance running?
The Karrimor Elite Trainers offer good cushioning and support, making them suitable for moderate distances. For ultra-marathons or extreme endurance events, specialized long-distance running shoes might be more appropriate.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. Your heel should feel secure without slipping.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
The trainers are water-resistant to a degree due to their materials, but they are not fully waterproof. They are best suited for dry or moderately wet conditions. For heavy rain, waterproof footwear is recommended.
What is the main advantage of the Dynagrip outsole?
The Dynagrip outsole provides enhanced traction and stability on a variety of surfaces through its multidirectional lug pattern, reducing the risk of slips.
How often should I clean my trainers?
It's recommended to brush off loose dirt and mud after each significant use. A more thorough cleaning with mild soap and water can be done as needed, typically when they appear visibly soiled.
What does 'Elite Series' signify?
The 'Elite Series' designation typically indicates a higher performance level within the Karrimor brand, often featuring advanced materials and design for more demanding activities.
Troubleshooting
Slight tightness or discomfort on first wear
The trainers may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time to allow the materials to conform to your foot.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
While the Dynagrip outsole offers multi-directional grip, performance on extremely wet or polished surfaces may be reduced. Clean the outsole regularly to ensure optimal traction.
Excessive moisture inside the shoe
Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. Allow the trainers to air dry completely after use, especially in humid conditions.

Care:
To maintain the condition of your Karrimor Elite Trainers:

- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are dry before storing to prevent odor and material degradation.
