FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for competitive school sports?
The Karrimor Duma 6 are designed as entry-level running shoes, great for active play and casual running. For highly competitive or specialized school sports, a shoe with more advanced features and support might be more appropriate, depending on the sport.
How do I determine the correct size for my child?
It's best to measure your child's foot and compare it to a brand-specific size chart. Ensure there's about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing.
What is a 'hook and loop fastening'?
A hook and loop fastening is a type of closure system, commonly known by the brand name Velcro. It consists of two components: a 'hook' side and a 'loop' side that adhere when pressed together, providing an adjustable and secure fit.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, it's not recommended to machine wash these shoes as it can damage the materials and adhesives. Please refer to the 'Care' section for proper cleaning instructions (wipe with a damp cloth).
Are there other colors or sizes available?
Yes, the Karrimor Duma 6 shoes are available in various children's sizes and colors, including Orange, Blue, Black, and Yellow. Please check the product page for current availability.
What is the benefit of a 'seamless knitted upper'?
A seamless knitted upper offers enhanced comfort by reducing potential points of irritation and chafing. It also contributes to the shoe's breathability and can improve overall durability by having fewer stitched seams that could fray.
Troubleshooting
My child says the shoes feel too tight or loose.
Ensure the hook and loop fastening is adjusted correctly. If it's still uncomfortable, double-check the shoe size against the child's foot measurements. Consider if new socks are thicker or thinner than usual.
The shoes seem to be slipping on certain surfaces.
Inspect the rubber pods on the outsole for dirt or debris. Clean the outsole thoroughly to restore traction. If the pods are significantly worn, the shoes may need replacing.
My child's feet get sweaty or uncomfortable.
Ensure your child is wearing appropriate socks, preferably moisture-wicking athletic socks. The seamless knitted upper is designed for breathability, but proper socks are still important for comfort.
The hook and loop fastening isn't holding securely anymore.
Clean any lint or debris from both sides of the hook and loop fastening. Over time, the fastening can lose some grip; ensure it's fully pressed together when securing.
The shoe seems to be wearing out too quickly.
While durable, these are entry-level shoes. The lifespan depends on usage frequency and intensity. Ensure they are being used for their intended purpose (running, active play) and not for activities that cause excessive abrasion.

Care
