FAQs

Are these suitable for intense marathon trail running?

The Karrimor Caracal TR Runners are designed for moderate trail running and daily adventures, offering excellent comfort and traction. For ultra-marathon or highly technical, extreme terrain, you might consider shoes with more aggressive lugs, rock plates, or specialized cushioning tailored for those specific demands.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the trainers. Please follow the hand-cleaning instructions provided in the 'Care' section to maintain their quality.

What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?

For optimal comfort and to prevent blisters, we recommend wearing moisture-wicking athletic socks. These help manage sweat and provide additional cushioning, complementing the Ortholite insole.

How long do the Ortholite insoles last?

Ortholite insoles are known for their durability and long-lasting cushioning. Their lifespan depends on usage frequency and intensity. If you notice a significant decrease in cushioning or comfort, they can be replaced with new insoles to extend the life of your trainers.

Is the sizing true to UK standards?

Karrimor generally follows standard UK sizing. However, foot shape varies, so it's always best to try them on to ensure a comfortable and secure fit, especially if you are between sizes.

Are these trainers waterproof?

The Karrimor Caracal TR Runners are not explicitly waterproof. While they can handle light moisture and splashes, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or deep puddles may result in water penetration. They are best suited for dry to moderately wet conditions.

Troubleshooting

Foot feels unstable or slips inside the shoe.

Ensure laces are tied securely, utilizing all eyelets. The Lightweight PU Upper Cage is designed for a secure fit, so re-adjusting laces can often resolve this. Consider wearing appropriate athletic socks that prevent slippage.

Lack of grip on certain surfaces.

While the Dynagrip Rubber Outsole provides excellent traction, extremely muddy or icy conditions can still be challenging. Clean the outsole thoroughly to ensure no debris is impacting grip. For highly technical or extreme conditions, consider specialized footwear.

Trainers feel less comfortable over time.

The Ortholite Insole provides superior cushioning, but over extended use, all insoles compress. Remove insoles, clean them, and allow them to air out. If comfort doesn't return, consider replacing them with new Ortholite or similar athletic insoles.

Unpleasant odor develops.

Remove insoles after each use and allow them to air dry. Stuff trainers with newspaper to absorb moisture and odors. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes (remove before wearing).

Laces frequently come untied.

Always double knot your laces, especially during active use like trail running. Ensure laces are not excessively worn or frayed, which can make them harder to keep tied.
