FAQs
Are Karrimor Summit Walking Shoes waterproof?
No, these shoes are not designed to be waterproof. The care instructions specify cleaning with a 'soft dry cloth,' indicating they are best suited for dry conditions and light moisture, not heavy rain or submersion.
Can I use these shoes for serious hiking or mountaineering?
These shoes are best suited for 'everyday light walks' and casual outdoor activities. While they offer good traction and comfort for light trails, they are not designed for the rigors of serious hiking, rugged terrain, or mountaineering, which require more robust support and specialized features.
How do I determine the correct size for me?
The Karrimor Summit Walking Shoes are sized according to standard UK adult foot sizes. It is recommended to try them on to ensure a comfortable fit, especially checking that your toes have enough room and your heel feels secure.
What type of socks should I wear with these shoes?
For optimal comfort and breathability, it is recommended to wear moisture-wicking athletic or walking socks. Avoid thick cotton socks, which can retain moisture and lead to discomfort.
Is the Ortholite insole removable?
Info needed: While many Ortholite insoles are removable for cleaning or custom orthotics, the product description does not specify if it is removable for this particular model. Generally, they are integrated for enhanced comfort.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
No, you should not wash these shoes in a washing machine. The recommended cleaning method is to use a 'soft dry cloth' to protect the materials and construction.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable after wearing for a short period.
Adjust the lace-up front. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly. Consider wearing appropriate walking socks to prevent friction. Verify that you have the correct size for your foot.
Slipping on slightly wet or uneven surfaces.
While the Dynagrip sole offers good traction, these shoes are designed for 'light walks' and may not provide optimal grip on extremely slick or muddy surfaces. Exercise caution on such terrains and consider footwear specifically designed for those conditions if needed.
Feet feel sweaty or hot.
The mesh panels provide breathability, but wearing thick, non-wicking socks can hinder this. Opt for moisture-wicking athletic socks. Ensure the shoes are not worn in extremely hot conditions beyond their intended use.
Shoes appear dirty and a soft dry cloth isn't enough.
For more stubborn dirt, you can gently brush off dried mud with a soft-bristled brush before wiping. For light stains, a slightly damp cloth (almost dry) can be used very sparingly on specific spots, but avoid saturating the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
Setting up your Karrimor Summit Walking Shoes is straightforward:
- Lacing: Utilize the lace-up front to secure the shoes to your feet. Ensure the laces are snug but not overly tight, allowing for comfort and preventing pressure points.
- Fit Check: Walk a few steps to ensure a comfortable fit. Your toes should have a little room to wiggle, and your heel should feel secure without slipping.
Compatibility
- Intended User: Designed for adult males, though fit can vary by individual foot shape.
- Activity: Best suited for light walks, daily wear, gentle trails, and casual outdoor activities.
- Terrain: Ideal for paths, well-maintained trails, urban environments, and parks. Not recommended for strenuous hiking, technical climbing, or extremely rugged terrain.
Care
Proper care will help 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:* Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or immerse the shoes in water, as this can damage the materials and construction.
- Drying: If the shoes get damp, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can cause materials to shrink or crack.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
