FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for competitive running?
The Karrimor Duma 6 shoes are designed as an entry-level option, ideal for casual running, school sports, and everyday active play. For competitive running, more specialized footwear with advanced support and cushioning features may be required.
How do I determine the correct size for my child?
It is recommended to measure your child's foot and compare it to the Karrimor sizing chart. Allow a small amount of extra space at the toe for comfort and growth. If possible, have your child try them on to ensure a comfortable fit.
Can these shoes be worn in wet conditions?
While the seamless knitted upper offers some protection, these shoes are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles may cause the feet to get wet and the shoes to become saturated. Allow them to air dry fully if they get wet.
Are these shoes durable enough for active kids?
Yes, the seamless knitted upper is designed to be strong and durable, and the phylon midsole provides cushioning that withstands regular use during active play and casual running. Proper care will help extend their lifespan.
Do these shoes come with laces?
No, the Karrimor Duma 6 features a hook and loop fastening system, designed for easy and secure adjustment, particularly beneficial for younger children.
What is the primary benefit of the EVA insole and Phylon midsole?
Both the EVA insole and Phylon midsole are key for cushioning. The EVA insole provides immediate step-in comfort, while the Phylon midsole offers lightweight, responsive cushioning that absorbs impact during activity, contributing to overall foot protection and comfort.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels too loose or too tight.
Adjust the hook and loop fastening. Ensure it is secured firmly but without causing discomfort or restricting circulation. If the issue persists, verify the shoe size is correct for the child's foot.
My child experiences discomfort after wearing the shoes.
Check if the shoes are the correct size and width. Ensure socks are appropriate and not bunching up. The shoes are entry-level; for prolonged or intense running, more specialized footwear might be needed. Allow a short break-in period for new shoes.
The seamless knitted upper appears dirty or stained.
Gently clean the upper with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild, non-abrasive soap. Rub the affected area gently and then wipe clean with a separate damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely.

Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and performance of your Karrimor Duma 6 running shoes, follow these care tips:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the seamless knitted upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Air dry shoes naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing is generally not recommended for running shoes as it can damage the materials, cushioning, and adhesives.
