FAQs
Are Karrimor Summit Walking Shoes waterproof?
The product description does not specify waterproofing features. These shoes are designed with mesh panels for breathability, indicating they are not intended to be fully waterproof and are best suited for dry conditions or light moisture.
What type of terrain are these shoes best suited for?
These shoes are best suited for 'everyday light walks' including paved paths, park trails, and well-maintained unpaved surfaces. They offer comfort and traction for moderate use.
How should I clean my Karrimor Summit Walking Shoes?
You should clean the shoes with a soft dry cloth. Avoid submerging them in water or using harsh cleaning agents, as this can damage the materials.
Can I use these shoes for strenuous hiking or mountaineering?
The Karrimor Summit Walking Shoes are designed for 'light walks' and everyday use. For strenuous hiking, mountaineering, or challenging terrain, more robust and specialized hiking boots with advanced support and weather protection would be recommended.
What does Dynagrip mean?
Dynagrip refers to the rubber sole technology used in these shoes, designed to provide enhanced traction and grip on various surfaces, improving stability during your walks.
What is an Ortholite insole?
An Ortholite insole is a specialized foam insert that provides breathable cushioning, moisture management, and antimicrobial properties. It enhances comfort, support, and helps maintain a secure fit inside the shoe.
Do these shoes come in other colors or sizes?
Yes, Karrimor Summit Walking Shoes are available in various colors and sizes, including Black and Beige, across a range of UK adult foot sizes. Check the product listings for specific availability.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel uncomfortable or rub in certain areas.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing pattern to relieve pressure points. Wear appropriate socks. If new, allow for a short break-in period as materials conform to your foot.
Laces frequently come undone during walks.
Ensure you are using a secure lacing knot, such as a double knot or surgeon's knot. Make sure the laces are tied snugly before starting your walk.
Feet feel hot or sweaty.
The mesh panels are designed for breathability. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks. If walking in very hot conditions, take breaks to air out your feet.
Slipping on damp or slightly uneven surfaces.
While Dynagrip provides good traction, no sole is slip-proof on all surfaces. Exercise caution on very wet, icy, or extremely muddy terrain. Clean soles regularly to prevent dirt buildup from reducing grip.
Shoes appear dirty and difficult to clean.
Follow the care instructions to clean with a soft dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used sparingly on exterior surfaces, then wiped dry immediately. Avoid excessive moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Using your Karrimor Summit Walking Shoes is straightforward:
- Unpack: Remove the shoes from their packaging.
- Lace Up: Insert your feet into the shoes and use the lace-up front to adjust the fit. Ensure laces are snug but not overly tight, allowing for comfortable movement.
- Break-in Period: While comfortable from the start, a short break-in period on shorter walks is recommended to allow the shoes to fully conform to your feet.
Compatibility
These shoes are designed for:
- Terrain: Everyday light walks, maintained paths, and gentle trails.
- Activities: Leisurely walking, casual outdoor activities, and urban exploration.
- Footwear: Intended for general purpose walking where extreme conditions or heavy-duty support are not required.
Care
To maintain the longevity and appearance of your Karrimor Summit Walking Shoes:
- Cleaning: Clean the shoes using a soft dry cloth. Gently wipe away dirt and debris from the upper and sole. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing them with crumpled paper can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Submerging: Do not submerge the shoes in water, as this may compromise materials and the insole.
