Karrimor Duma 6 Running Shoes - Black - UK 6

Adjust your lacing technique. For tightness, try skipping an eyelet or loosening the laces across the top of your foot. For looseness, ensure laces are snug and try a different lacing pattern (e.g., runner's knot) to secure the heel.

Ensure you're wearing appropriate running socks (moisture-wicking, seamless). Double-check your lacing for pressure points. Allow for a break-in period; some discomfort can resolve as the shoe molds to your foot.

Clean the outsoles thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might be reducing traction. If the rubber pods are significantly worn down, it may be time to consider replacing your shoes as the outsole's integrity is compromised.

Remove the Ortholite insoles and air them out regularly. You can also sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then tap it out in the morning. Ensure shoes are always dried properly after use.

While the seamless knitted upper is durable, excessive stress can cause wear. Ensure proper fit to prevent undue friction. Avoid using shoes for activities not intended for running, such as abrasive sports or terrain.
