FAQs
Are these Karrimor Duma 6 Trainers suitable for competitive running?
No, the Karrimor Duma 6 Trainers are designed as an entry-level running shoe for young individuals. While they provide excellent comfort and support for casual running and daily activities, they may not offer the specialized support or advanced features required for competitive or long-distance running.
How do I ensure the correct size for my child?
It's best to measure your child's foot length and compare it to Karrimor's sizing chart. Ensure there's a small amount of space (about a thumb's width) between their longest toe and the end of the shoe to allow for growth and movement. The hook and loop fastening helps secure the fit.
Can these trainers be worn for everyday activities?
Yes, absolutely. The comfortable cushioning, lightweight design, and secure fit make the Karrimor Duma 6 Trainers ideal for everyday wear, school, playground activities, and general active play.
What makes the shoe lightweight?
The lightweight nature of the Karrimor Duma 6 is primarily due to its Phylon midsole. Phylon is a compressed EVA foam that provides excellent cushioning while being very light, contributing to a comfortable feel without unnecessary weight.
Is the knitted upper durable?
Yes, the seamless knitted upper is designed for durability and strength. It also provides a comfortable, conforming fit that supports the foot during various activities, while offering a degree of flexibility.
How do I clean the Karrimor Duma 6 Trainers?
To clean, gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Allow them to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat. The EVA insoles can be removed for separate airing or cleaning if needed.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight.
Adjust the hook and loop fastening. Ensure it's neither too restrictive nor too loose to provide a secure and comfortable fit. Experiment with the tightness to find the optimal comfort level.
Feet feel hot or sweaty.
Ensure the wearer is using appropriate socks for athletic activity, preferably moisture-wicking ones. While the knitted upper offers some breathability, proper socks can significantly improve comfort. Allow shoes to air out after each use.
Shoes make squeaking noises.
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe's base. Try removing the EVA insole, sprinkle a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then reinsert the insole. If the issue persists, check if the outsole has picked up any debris.
Shoes get dirty quickly.
Regularly clean the trainers following the 'Care' instructions. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used gently on the upper, followed by wiping with a damp cloth. Timely cleaning prevents dirt from setting in.

Care
To maintain the longevity and appearance of your Karrimor Duma 6 Trainers:

- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.

- Insole Care: The EVA insoles can be removed and air-dried separately if they become damp or need airing out.
