FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for serious trail running?
The Karrimor Caracal Trail Trainers are designed for light trail running, walking, and general outdoor use. While they offer good traction and cushioning, for highly technical or ultra-distance trail running, you might consider more specialized footwear.
How can I maintain the traction of the Dynagrip outsole?
Regularly clean the outsole to remove any embedded mud or stones. Avoid storing the shoes in extreme temperatures, as this can affect the rubber's flexibility and grip over time. Inspect for wear before significant trail use.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is generally not recommended as it can damage the materials and adhesives. Instead, clean them by hand using a mild soap and water solution, then air dry.
What makes the Ortholite insole special?
The Ortholite insole provides superior, long-lasting cushioning and breathability. It's designed to wick away moisture and offer antimicrobial properties, enhancing overall foot comfort and hygiene.
Will the PU Upper Cage make the shoes feel stiff?
The Lightweight PU Upper Cage is designed to provide support and stability without adding excessive stiffness. It conforms to your foot for a secure feel, allowing for natural movement while protecting against lateral shifts.
Are there other color or size options available for the Caracal series?
Yes, the Karrimor Caracal series typically comes in a range of colors and various adult UK sizes. Please check product listings for available variants.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or blisters during wear
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Verify that the shoe size is correct and laces are neither too tight nor too loose. Allow for a break-in period for new shoes.
Reduced grip on specific surfaces
Clean the Dynagrip outsole thoroughly to remove any accumulated mud, dirt, or debris that might be impacting traction. Inspect the tread for excessive wear, which could reduce grip over time.
Unpleasant odor developing inside the trainers
Remove the Ortholite insoles after use and allow them and the shoes to air out completely. Use an anti-bacterial shoe spray or foot powder to help neutralize odors and prevent bacterial growth.

Care Instructions
- Cleaning: After use, especially on trails, gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth or brush to clean the upper and outsole. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing to prevent mildew or odor.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles and air them out. Foot powders or shoe deodorizers can also be used.
- Inspection: Regularly check the outsole for embedded debris (like small stones) and the upper for any signs of excessive wear that might impact performance or comfort.
