To ensure you get the most out of your Karrimor Duma 6 Running Shoes, follow these guidelines for proper setup, understanding their compatibility, and maintaining them.
Lacing: Ensure the laces are securely and evenly fastened. Adjust the tightness to provide a snug fit without being overly restrictive. Experiment with different lacing patterns if you experience pressure points or desire a different feel.
Initial Wear: Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to conform to your foot shape. This 'break-in' period is usually minimal due to the soft materials.
Running Surfaces: Best suited for road running, pavements, treadmills, and indoor gym surfaces. The rubber pods provide good traction on these common surfaces.
Activities: Ideal for entry-level running, daily jogs, light training, walking, and general fitness activities.
Foot Type: Designed for a neutral foot strike. If you have specific pronation or supination issues, you may need to consider additional orthotic support.
Cleaning: We recommend hand washing your shoes. Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap (like diluted dish soap) and cold water. Gently scrub dirty areas. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
Drying: Always air dry your shoes. Remove the insoles and stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Do not tumble dry, place them near direct heat sources, or in direct sunlight, as this can damage materials.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight when not in use.
Odor Prevention: The Ortholite insole helps with moisture management, but for extra freshness, consider using shoe deodorizers or allowing them to air out thoroughly after each use.
Replacement: Info needed: [Typically, running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles or every 4-6 months, depending on your usage, body weight, and running style. Pay attention to signs of wear, such as diminished cushioning, worn-down tread, or increased discomfort.]
