FAQs
Are Karrimor Caracal TR Runners suitable for wide feet?
The lightweight PU upper cage provides a secure fit. While not specifically advertised for wide feet, the lacing system allows for some adjustment. We recommend trying them on to ensure a comfortable fit.
Can I use these trainers for road running?
While versatile, these trainers are optimized for trail running with their robust outsole. They can certainly be used for short distances on roads, but dedicated road running shoes might offer more specific cushioning for hard surfaces.
How long do the Ortholite insoles last?
Ortholite insoles are known for their durability and long-lasting cushioning properties. Their lifespan depends on usage intensity and frequency. They are often removable, allowing for replacement if needed.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The product description does not specify waterproofing. While they can handle light moisture, they are not designed to be fully waterproof. We advise avoiding prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water. > Info needed: [specific water resistance rating if any]
What is the best way to clean the Dynagrip Rubber Outsole?
To clean the outsole, use a stiff brush (like an old toothbrush) to remove embedded dirt and debris. You can also use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely.
Do these trainers require any 'breaking in' period?
Thanks to the comfortable Ortholite Insole and flexible design, the Caracal TR Runners generally require minimal to no break-in period. They should feel comfortable from the first wear, but a few short walks can help them conform to your feet.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort during wear
Ensure you have the correct size. Check your lacing – it should be snug but not restrictive. Experiment with different types of athletic socks for better cushioning or moisture-wicking properties.
Loss of traction on certain surfaces
Inspect the Dynagrip Outsole for any embedded mud, stones, or debris and clean thoroughly. While designed for excellent grip, some extremely slippery surfaces (e.g., wet ice, polished wet rocks) may still pose a challenge. Always exercise caution.
Upper cage feels too tight or loose
Adjust your lacing technique. The lightweight PU upper cage is designed to secure the foot, but optimal tightness is personal. Re-lace to distribute pressure evenly across the top of your foot.
Trainers feel heavy or clunky after getting wet
Ensure trainers are thoroughly air-dried after exposure to moisture. Materials can temporarily retain water, affecting their perceived weight. Refer to care instructions for proper drying.
Squeaking sound while walking/running
This can sometimes be caused by the insole rubbing against the shoe's base. Try removing the Ortholite Insole, cleaning both surfaces, and reinserting it. If the issue persists, consider trying a different insole.

Care
Proper care extends the lifespan and maintains the performance of your trainers:
- Cleaning: After use, especially on trails, gently brush off loose dirt. Wipe the upper and outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider stuffing with newspaper to maintain shape if they get very wet.
- Inspection: Regularly check the outsole for embedded debris or excessive wear to maintain optimal traction.
