The Karrimor Salina Walking Sandals excel on well-maintained paths, light trails, and urban environments. The fully moulded footbed is a standout feature, providing consistent comfort during extended periods of walking, reducing foot fatigue on long strolls or sightseeing trips. The Dynagrip rubber outsole ensures you maintain reliable traction on dry and moderately wet surfaces, from gravel paths to pavements. For example, when walking along a riverside path or exploring a new city, these sandals offer the perfect blend of support and breathability.
Beyond dedicated walks, these sandals are designed for everyday wear. Their stylish suede crossed strap design makes them a versatile choice for casual outings, gardening, or simply relaxing outdoors. The Velcro fastening at the heel allows for quick adjustments throughout the day, accommodating slight swelling or ensuring a snug fit as needed. They are particularly well-suited for warmer climates where breathability is key, keeping your feet cool and comfortable.
Unpack: Remove the sandals from their packaging.
Adjust: Open the Velcro fastening at the heel completely.
Position: Slide your foot into the sandal, ensuring your heel sits comfortably in the moulded footbed.
Secure: Fasten the Velcro strap across your heel, adjusting it to a snug but comfortable fit. Ensure it's not too tight to pinch, nor too loose to allow your foot to slide.
These Karrimor Salina Walking Sandals are designed for adult females (available in UK sizes 4-9). They are ideal for individuals looking for comfortable and supportive footwear for general walking, light hiking, travel, and casual outdoor activities. Not recommended for extreme sports or heavy-duty mountaineering.
Given the primary material is leather (suede), proper care is essential to maintain their appearance and extend their lifespan.
Cleaning Suede: Gently brush off dry dirt with a soft suede brush. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid harsh detergents or scrubbing vigorously.
Drying: If sandals get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the leather.
Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains, especially before wearing them in damp conditions.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
