FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday school wear?

Yes, while designed for running, their comfortable cushioning and durable build make them suitable for general active wear, including school and play.

How do I choose the correct size for my child?

Measure your child's foot length from heel to the longest toe. Refer to a standard children's shoe size chart. It's often recommended to leave a thumb's width space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The Karrimor Duma 6 shoes feature a knitted upper and are not specifically designed to be waterproof. They offer some resistance to light splashes but are not recommended for heavy rain or wet conditions.

What kind of running are these shoes best for?

These shoes are ideal for entry-level running activities such as school sports, casual jogging, physical education classes, and active play on surfaces like pavement, track, and light park trails.

Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and structure of the shoes. Please follow the hand-washing instructions provided in the 'Care' section.

What does 'low-profile ankle' mean?

A low-profile ankle design means the collar of the shoe sits lower around the ankle bone. This offers greater freedom of movement and can reduce rubbing or irritation compared to higher-cut designs.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too loose or too tight.

Adjust the lace tension. Ensure the laces are threaded properly through all eyelets and tied securely. Experiment with different lacing patterns for a more customized fit.

Foot discomfort or rubbing during wear.

Check that the shoe size is correct. Ensure socks are appropriate for athletic activity and are not bunched up. If discomfort persists, consider trying different insoles or consulting a shoe fitting expert.

Slipping on certain surfaces.

Inspect the rubber pods on the outsole for excessive wear or blockages (like mud or small stones) in the tread. Clean the outsole thoroughly. Avoid running on extremely wet, icy, or loose surfaces if traction is compromised.

Unpleasant odor from the shoes.

Remove the insoles and allow both the shoes and insoles to air dry completely after each use. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Avoid storing shoes in damp, enclosed spaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Lacing: Ensure laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets. For a secure fit, tie a double knot. Adjust tension so the shoe feels snug but not uncomfortably tight, allowing for natural foot flexion.
  2. Initial Wear: Have the wearer walk and perform light movements to ensure comfort and proper fit before engaging in strenuous activity. Check for any pressure points or rubbing.

Compatibility

  • Age Group: Designed for kids.
  • Activity: Ideal for entry-level running, walking, gym class, and general active play.
  • Footwear: Best paired with athletic socks that offer moisture-wicking properties to keep feet dry and comfortable.

Care

Proper care extends the life and performance of your Karrimor Duma 6 running shoes.

  • Cleaning:
  1. Remove loose dirt with a soft brush or dry cloth.
  2. For deeper cleaning, mix mild soap with cool water.
  3. Gently scrub the upper and sole with a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  4. Rinse thoroughly with clean water, ensuring all soap residue is removed.
  • Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), which can damage materials. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures.
  • Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles and air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight.
