FAQs
Are Karrimor Summit Walking Shoes waterproof?
No, these shoes feature mesh panels for breathability, which means they are not fully waterproof. They are designed for dry to moderate conditions.
What kind of terrain are these shoes best suited for?
They are best suited for everyday light walks, park paths, gravel trails, and similar outdoor adventures. The Dynagrip sole provides good traction on these varied surfaces.
How do I clean my Karrimor Summit Walking Shoes?
Clean them with a soft dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, allow it to dry and then gently brush it off before wiping. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
Can I use these for long-distance hiking?
While comfortable for extended periods, they are primarily designed for 'light walks'. For long-distance or multi-day hiking on challenging trails, a more robust hiking boot with enhanced ankle support and durability would typically be recommended.
What is Ortholite?
Ortholite is a brand of open-cell foam insoles known for providing long-term cushioning, breathability, and moisture management, contributing to overall foot comfort and a healthier shoe environment.
Do these shoes offer good ankle support?
As walking shoes, they provide standard foot comfort and stability but offer less ankle support compared to mid- or high-cut hiking boots. They focus more on agility and lightness for the foot itself.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel uncomfortable or too tight/loose.
Adjust the lacing carefully. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for walking. If discomfort persists, verify you have the correct shoe size for your feet.
Feet feel sweaty or hot during walks.
Ensure you are wearing breathable socks made from moisture-wicking materials (e.g., merino wool or synthetic blends). The mesh panels promote airflow; try walking in cooler parts of the day or lighter terrains.
Slight slipping on certain surfaces.
While the Dynagrip sole offers good traction, no sole is infallible on all surfaces. Be mindful on extremely wet, icy, or loose terrain. Check for excessive wear on the sole, as worn treads reduce grip.
Shoes develop an odor.
Remove the insoles after each use to allow them and the shoes to air out. You can also sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoes and insoles overnight, then shake it out in the morning. Ensure shoes are completely dry before storage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
- Lacing: Before your first use, ensure the laces are threaded correctly and evenly through all eyelets. Sit down and put on your walking shoes, wearing the type of socks you typically use for walking.
- Adjusting Fit: Start lacing from the toe, pulling each section gently to remove slack. Ensure the tongue is centered. Tie a secure knot that holds the shoe firmly without being overly tight or causing pressure points. A properly laced shoe will feel snug around the midfoot and heel, with enough room for your toes to wiggle slightly.
Compatibility
- Activity: These shoes are best suited for *everyday light walks*, park trails, paved paths, and general outdoor leisure. They are not recommended for strenuous mountaineering, very rugged terrain, or activities requiring extensive ankle support.
- Terrain: Ideal for varied light trails, compacted dirt, gravel, and urban environments. The Dynagrip sole provides good traction on these surfaces.
- Weather: The mesh panels provide excellent breathability, making them comfortable in dry, warm to moderate conditions. They are not designed for heavy rain or extremely wet environments, as they prioritize airflow over waterproofing.
Care
- Cleaning: To clean your Karrimor Summit Walking Shoes, use a soft dry cloth. Gently wipe away dirt and debris from the upper, midsole, and outsole. For stubborn mud, allow it to dry completely and then brush it off with a soft brush before wiping. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning materials.
- Drying: If the shoes become damp, remove the insoles and stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture. Air dry them naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), which can damage materials.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight or damp environments.
