Full details

The Karrimor Ithaca walking sandals are designed for adult males seeking comfortable and supportive footwear for summer strolls and light walks. Their key benefit is a secure and adaptable fit combined with excellent traction, making them ideal for varied terrain. A potential caveat is their suitability for very strenuous or rugged hiking. These sandals feature a lightweight construction with a neoprene underlay, woven webbing tapes for support, a quick-release bungee lacing system for adjustability, a soft synthetic sock, and a comfortable EVA footbed, all grounded by Karrimor’s Dynagrip rubber for reliable grip.

FAQs

Are these sandals suitable for hiking in the mountains?

The Karrimor Ithaca walking sandals are best suited for light walks and casual trails. For strenuous mountain hiking with uneven terrain, a dedicated hiking boot would offer better support and protection.

How do I adjust the fit of the sandals?

The sandals feature a quick-release bungee lacing system. Simply pull the toggle to loosen the cords for fitting, then pull them tight again to secure your foot, and ensure the toggle is locked in place.

Can I wear these sandals in water?

Yes, you can wear them in and around water. They are designed to dry relatively quickly. However, they are not waterproof, and prolonged submersion may affect grip temporarily until dry.

How should I clean the sandals?

Rinse with clean water after use. For dirt, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap, then rinse and air dry away from direct heat.

What is the purpose of the EVA footbed?

The EVA footbed provides cushioning and comfort, helping to absorb impact during walking and making the sandals more pleasant for extended wear.

Do these sandals come in different colors?

This specific model is black. Please check other listings for available color variations if applicable.

What sizes are available?

These sandals are available in various adult UK men's sizes. Please refer to the size selection options for availability.

Troubleshooting

Lacing system not holding tension

Ensure the bungee cord toggle is fully engaged and positioned correctly. If the cord appears worn or stretched, it may need replacement.

Slipping on wet surfaces

While the Dynagrip sole offers good traction, performance can be reduced on extremely slick surfaces. Clean the sole of any debris and exercise caution.

Discomfort after extended wear

Ensure the lacing is adjusted for optimal comfort and support. Break in the sandals with shorter walks before attempting longer excursions.

Straps feel abrasive

This may occur with initial wear. Ensure the neoprene underlay is correctly positioned. If irritation persists, consider wearing thin socks or checking the fit adjustment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comfortable for summer walks and casual wear.
  • Adjustable fit accommodates various foot widths.
  • Good traction on multiple surfaces thanks to Dynagrip.
  • Lightweight construction reduces fatigue.
  • Easy to put on and take off.

Cons

  • May not provide sufficient support for challenging or technical hikes.
  • Water resistance is limited; not ideal for prolonged wet conditions.
  • Sole may wear faster on rough, abrasive terrains compared to heavy-duty boots.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Adjust Lacing: Loosen the bungee cord using the toggle. Slide your foot into the sandal.
  2. Secure Fit: Pull the toggle to tighten the bungee cord, ensuring the webbing straps conform snugly to your foot without being constrictive.
  3. Final Check: Ensure the heel strap and all webbing feel secure.

Compatibility:

  • Intended Use: Best suited for walking on established paths, trails, and casual environments. Not recommended for technical climbing or extreme terrain.
  • Foot Width: The bungee lacing system accommodates a range of foot widths.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After use, especially if exposed to sand or mud, rinse the sandals with clean water. For dirtier situations, use a mild soap and a soft brush or cloth to clean the footbed and straps. Avoid harsh detergents.
  • Drying: Allow the sandals to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged direct sunlight, which can degrade materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
