FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?

The Karrimor Duma 6 trainers are best suited for beginners and daily wear. For marathon running, which requires advanced cushioning and support, you might need to consider specialized long-distance running shoes.

Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the best method for cleaning.

What type of surfaces are these trainers best for?

These trainers are ideal for paved surfaces, gym floors, and general walking. They are not designed for technical trails or very rough terrain.

How durable is the Ortholite insole?

The Ortholite insole is designed for comfort and cushioning. Its durability is good for typical use but may wear down over extended periods of high-impact activity.

What is the primary benefit of the Phylon midsole?

The Phylon midsole is lightweight and provides effective shock absorption, contributing to the overall comfort and reducing impact during wear.

Do these shoes come in other colors?

Yes, the Karrimor Duma 6 series is available in a range of colors, including Black, Blue, and Grey, in addition to this Red and Black variant.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have the correct size. If slightly tight, wearing them for short periods may help them stretch slightly. Consider using thinner socks.

Discomfort during runs

Verify the lacing technique for a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure the shoes are appropriate for your running style and surface. For longer runs, consider insoles with more specialized support.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

The rubber pods offer good grip on dry surfaces, but caution is advised on wet or slippery conditions. Clean the outsole regularly to remove any mud or debris that might impede grip.

Upper material showing wear

Avoid abrasive activities or materials that could snag or tear the knitted upper. Clean gently as per care instructions to prolong material life.
