The Karrimor Duma Running Shoes are engineered to support your initial steps into running and maintain comfort during light to moderate activity. They shine during short to medium-distance runs on predictable surfaces like pavement, treadmills, or track. The combination of the Phylon midsole and Ortholite insole provides a soft landing and consistent cushioning, which is crucial for new runners whose bodies are adapting to the impact of running. This cushioning also makes them suitable for extended walking, gym workouts, or daily wear where comfort is a priority.
The seamless knitted upper adapts to your foot, offering breathability and reducing the chances of hot spots or blisters. The rubber pods on the outsole ensure adequate grip for road conditions, allowing you to focus on your form rather than worrying about slips. While they provide a good foundation, for advanced training or competitive events, you might consider shoes with more specialized features.
Lacing: Unlace the shoes sufficiently before putting them on. Insert your foot, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated at the back of the shoe.
Adjusting the Fit: Begin tightening the laces from the toes upwards. Pull each section of laces to achieve a snug, but not overly tight, fit across the top of your foot. Ensure there's a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Heel Lock: For extra security, you can use the top eyelets to create a 'heel lock' lacing technique, which helps prevent heel slippage.
Best Use: Ideal for beginner runners, light jogging, walking, gym activities, and casual wear.
Surfaces: Most suitable for road, pavement, track, and treadmill use. Less suited for technical trails or off-road conditions due to the outsole design.
Runner Type: Best for neutral runners or those seeking basic cushioning without specific stability or motion control features.
Cleaning: Gently remove loose dirt with a soft brush (an old toothbrush works well). Hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not put them in a dryer or expose them to direct heat sources, as this can damage materials.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider stuffing them with paper to maintain their shape during storage.
Insole Care: The Ortholite insole can be removed and hand-washed separately if needed.
