FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?

The Karrimor Duma 6 are versatile trainers suitable for daily runs and training. While they offer comfort, they are not specifically designed as high-performance racing shoes for marathons. For marathon distances, specialized racing shoes might offer more advanced features.

How do I determine the correct UK size?

Refer to standard UK sizing charts for athletic footwear. It is advisable to try them on if possible, or measure your foot length and compare it to the brand's sizing guide.

Can I use these shoes for trail running?

The Duma 6 features a robust outsole with good traction, making it suitable for light trails. However, for technical or very muddy trails, specialized trail running shoes with deeper lugs would offer better performance and protection.

What is the main difference between colour variants?

The main difference between colour variants is purely aesthetic. The functional aspects, such as construction, midsole technology, and outsole design, remain consistent across all colour options of the Duma 6 series.

How often should I replace my running shoes?

Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles (480-800 km) or when the cushioning and support start to feel diminished. This can vary based on running style, weight, and the surfaces run on.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the Karrimor Duma 6 trainers are not waterproof. They feature a breathable upper designed for ventilation, which means they are not designed to keep water out.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or rubbing during initial wear

Allow a short break-in period by wearing them for shorter durations initially. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit.

Reduced traction on wet surfaces

While designed for good traction, all outsoles can have reduced grip on very wet or slippery surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions. Ensure the outsole is free of debris.

Feet feeling warm during runs

This may indicate the need for thinner socks or that conditions are particularly warm. The breathable upper offers good ventilation, but extreme heat can still cause warmth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comfortable for daily running and training.
  • Good traction on multiple surfaces.
  • Breathable materials keep feet cool.
  • Durable construction for longevity.
  • Responsive feel from the midsole.

Cons

  • May require a break-in period for optimal comfort.

  • Not specialized for extreme trail running or advanced racing conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These trainers require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box. It is recommended to try them on indoors to ensure a proper fit before your first outdoor run.

Compatibility:

The Karrimor Duma 6 trainers are designed for general athletic use and are compatible with standard athletic socks. They are suitable for a variety of running surfaces, including roads, pavements, and light trails.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For stubborn stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
  • Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
