FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for advanced marathon training?
The Karrimor Duma 6 Trainers are designed as an entry-level running shoe, offering excellent comfort and support for beginners and light running. For advanced marathon training, you might consider shoes with more specialized features for long-distance stability, responsiveness, or pronation control.
Can I machine wash my Karrimor Duma 6 Trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, cushioning, and adhesives in the shoes. It's best to clean them by hand using a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry.
What is the benefit of the 'seamless knitted upper'?
The seamless knitted upper provides a strong, durable, and comfortable fit around your foot. It helps reduce irritation and chafing that can sometimes occur with traditional stitched uppers, enhancing overall comfort, especially during movement.
How often should I replace my running shoes?
The lifespan of running shoes varies depending on your mileage, running style, and weight, but a general guideline is every 300-500 miles or every 6-12 months. Look for signs of wear on the outsole (rubber pods) and a decrease in cushioning effectiveness.
What does 'entry-level running shoe' mean?
An 'entry-level running shoe' typically means it provides essential cushioning, comfort, and support for those new to running. It focuses on general-purpose features without the specialized technologies or advanced materials found in performance shoes designed for specific biomechanical needs or competitive racing.
Will these shoes provide enough arch support?
The Karrimor Duma 6 features an EVA insole and Phylon midsole for general cushioning and comfort. While they offer standard support, if you require specific arch support due to pronation or other foot conditions, you may consider using custom orthotics or insoles designed for your needs.
Troubleshooting
My shoes feel too loose or too tight.
Adjust the lace fastening. Experiment with different lacing techniques to find the fit that's most comfortable for your foot shape. Ensure your heel is secure against the back of the shoe.
My feet feel sore after short runs.
While the shoes offer cushioning, soreness can be due to various factors. Ensure your shoes are properly laced, wear appropriate running socks, and gradually increase your running distance and intensity. If soreness persists, consult a healthcare professional.
The traction feels insufficient on certain surfaces.
The rubber pods provide good traction on typical paved surfaces. However, no shoe guarantees perfect grip on all surfaces, especially wet or uneven ones. Always exercise caution and adjust your pace to the conditions.
My shoes developed an odor.
Remove the EVA insoles and allow them, along with the shoes, to air out completely in a well-ventilated area. You can also use shoe deodorizers or place a small sachet of baking soda inside the shoes when not in use.
The knitted upper appears dirty or stained.
Gently clean the upper with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild, diluted soap. Avoid scrubbing harshly, which could damage the knitted fabric. Allow to air dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting Started (Setup)
Setting up your Karrimor Duma 6 Trainers is straightforward:
- Unpack: Remove the trainers from their packaging.

- Beginner to intermediate road running
- Light workouts and gym use
- Casual walking and daily wear
They are less suited for:
- Aggressive trail running
- High-intensity competitive racing (without specific training considerations)
- Sports requiring rapid lateral movements
Product Care
Proper care extends the lifespan of your trainers:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the seamless knitted upper and outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- 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.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove the EVA insoles and allow both the shoes and insoles to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or baking soda.
- Inspection: Regularly check the outsole for wear and tear, especially the rubber pods, to ensure continued traction and support.
