Karrimor Duma 6 Running Shoes - Green - 2

These shoes are designed for kids, specifically female, who are beginning their running journey or need comfortable and supportive footwear for general active play and school sports.

The Karrimor Duma 6 are entry-level running shoes best suited for casual running, short distances, and light activities on flat, even surfaces. They are not designed for competitive running, trail running, or highly intense training.

To clean them, gently wipe the knitted upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not submerge them in water or machine wash. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.

The phylon midsole makes the shoes lightweight while providing cushioning, and the EVA insole adds an extra layer of soft cushioning directly underfoot, enhancing overall comfort and shock absorption.

While the seamless knitted upper offers some protection, these shoes are not waterproof. For prolonged use in wet conditions, we recommend footwear specifically designed with water-resistant or waterproof features. Always allow them to dry thoroughly after exposure to moisture.

The hook and loop fastening provides a quick, secure, and easily adjustable fit, which is ideal for children who may find laces difficult or time-consuming to tie. It also promotes independence in putting on and taking off their shoes.

Like most new footwear, a short break-in period may be beneficial. Encourage your child to wear them for shorter periods initially to allow the shoes to conform to their feet and ensure maximum comfort during longer activities.

Ensure the fastening is fully engaged and press firmly along its entire length. If the material is worn, it might lose some grip over time. Consider whether the shoe size is appropriate; too large a shoe can make it harder to secure.

First, check that the size is correct. Ensure your child is wearing appropriate athletic socks. Allow a short break-in period for the shoes to conform to the foot. If discomfort persists, inspect for any internal seams or defects, or consult with a foot health professional.

After each use, remove the shoes and allow them to air out in a well-ventilated area. If possible, remove the EVA insoles to dry separately. You can use a shoe deodorizer spray or place baking soda packets inside the shoes to absorb moisture and odors.

The seamless knitted upper is designed for durability, but excessive stress or improper care can cause damage. Avoid machine washing. For minor snags, gently try to smooth them back into place. For significant damage, professional repair might be an option, but replacement is often more practical.
