Karrimor Summit Walking Shoes - Black - UK 14

The product description does not specify that these shoes are waterproof. They feature mesh panels for breathability, which typically means they are not designed to be fully waterproof. They are best suited for dry or minimally wet conditions.

These shoes are designed for 'everyday light walks' and provide good traction for such activities. For heavy hiking, more robust and waterproof footwear might be required. They are not specifically designed for trail running.

We recommend checking a Karrimor specific size chart if available, and trying them on if possible. Consider wearing the type of socks you typically use for walking to ensure the best fit.

The Ortholite insole provides long-lasting cushioning, breathability, and moisture management, which contributes to overall comfort and a healthier foot environment during your walks.

Clean your shoes as needed, especially after walks on dirty or dusty trails. Regular cleaning with a soft dry cloth will help maintain their appearance and functionality.

While the Ortholite insole is designed for durability, if replacement becomes necessary, universal walking shoe insoles of the correct size can be purchased. However, using the original Karrimor Ortholite insole is recommended for optimal performance.

Ensure you have the correct size; try wearing different thickness walking socks. Break-in period is also important. If discomfort persists, inspect for any internal stitching or material issues.

Ensure you are tying a secure double knot. You can also explore different lacing techniques that offer better retention.

Clean the rubber sole thoroughly to remove any accumulated dirt, mud, or debris that might be reducing grip. Inspect the Dynagrip pattern for excessive wear, which might indicate it's time for replacement.

Ensure the mesh panels are clean and unobstructed. Consider wearing moisture-wicking walking socks designed to draw sweat away from the feet. For very hot conditions, these shoes are breathable but not designed for extreme heat.

This can sometimes be caused by moisture trapped between the insole and the shoe's base. Remove the Ortholite insole, clean both surfaces, dry thoroughly, and reinsert. If the squeak persists, it could be an issue with the sole material.
