FAQs
Are the Karrimor Summit Walking Shoes waterproof?
While durable, the Karrimor Summit Walking Shoes feature mesh panels for breathability and are designed for 'light walks,' suggesting they are not fully waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture, but prolonged exposure to wet conditions may result in water penetration.
What type of terrain are these shoes best suited for?
These shoes are ideal for light trails, parks, paved paths, and general everyday walking. The Dynagrip sole provides excellent traction on varied, non-technical surfaces.
How do I clean my Karrimor Summit Walking Shoes?
Brush off loose dirt first. For the leather parts, use a damp cloth with a mild leather cleaner. For mesh and synthetic areas, a damp cloth with mild soap is suitable. Always air dry away from direct heat.
What is Ortholite and how does it benefit me?
Ortholite is a high-performance insole technology known for its long-lasting cushioning, breathability, and moisture management properties. It helps provide enhanced comfort and a cooler, drier foot environment.
What does 'Dynagrip' refer to?
Dynagrip is Karrimor's proprietary rubber sole technology designed to offer superior grip and traction on various outdoor surfaces, enhancing stability and preventing slips during walks.
Can I use these shoes for running or intense hiking?
The Karrimor Summit Walking Shoes are specifically designed for walking and light outdoor activities. While comfortable, they are not built with the support, cushioning, or durability required for running or intense, rugged hiking.
What is the material of the shoe's upper?
The shoes feature a leather upper combined with mesh panels for a balance of durability, protection, and breathability.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing during wear.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for walking. Re-tie your laces, adjusting the tension evenly across your foot. Verify that the shoe size is correct; shoes that are too small or too large can cause discomfort.
Reduced traction on certain surfaces.
Check the Dynagrip sole for any embedded debris or mud that might be reducing grip. Clean the sole thoroughly. Be mindful that while the Dynagrip offers good traction for light trails, extreme conditions (e.g., very steep, muddy, or icy terrain) might exceed the shoe's intended capabilities.
Shoes feel warm or sweaty after prolonged use.
The mesh panels provide breathability, but prolonged activity or hot weather can still lead to warmth. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks. After use, allow the shoes to air out completely in a well-ventilated area to prevent odors and dry internal moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Setting up your Karrimor Summit Walking Shoes is straightforward:
- Lacing: Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets. Sit down and slide your foot into the shoe.
- Adjusting: Pull the laces firmly but comfortably, starting from the toe and working your way up. Ensure there's no excessive pressure points.
- Tying: Tie a secure knot, double-knotting if preferred for extra security on trails.
Compatibility
These shoes are designed for light outdoor activities and everyday wear. They are compatible with various sock types, though moisture-wicking socks are recommended for optimal comfort during walks. They pair well with casual outdoor attire.
Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Karrimor Summit Walking Shoes:
- Cleaning: After use, especially if dirty, brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For more stubborn grime, use a damp cloth with mild soap. The leather sections should be cleaned gently.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the leather and adhesives.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Leather Care: Periodically apply a suitable leather conditioner to the leather sections to keep them supple and prevent cracking. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
