The Karrimor Duma 6 Running Shoes are engineered to support young athletes during their initial running experiences. The combination of a Phylon midsole and EVA insole provides significant cushioning, which is crucial for absorbing impact as children run, jump, and play. This helps to protect growing feet and joints, making long periods of activity more comfortable.
The seamless knitted upper ensures a snug yet flexible fit, adapting to the foot's shape while offering durability against the wear and tear of active kids. The hook and loop fastening is particularly beneficial for younger children, allowing them to easily secure their own shoes, fostering independence and ensuring a consistently snug fit that minimizes movement inside the shoe.
Rubber pods on the outsole deliver reliable traction on common surfaces like playgrounds, sidewalks, and light trails, reducing the risk of slips. The low-profile ankle cut allows for unrestricted movement, which is important for developing natural running gaits. These shoes are perfect for school sports, playground activities, casual jogs, and general active wear, serving as a reliable companion for a child's daily adventures.
Open Fastening: Fully open the hook and loop fastening straps on each shoe.
Insert Foot: Guide your child's foot into the shoe, using the heel pull tab to assist if needed.
Secure Fit: Press the hook and loop straps down firmly to secure the shoe. Ensure the fit is snug but not overly tight, allowing for natural foot movement.
Check Comfort: Have your child walk or take a few steps to confirm comfort and proper fit.
These shoes are designed for kids (specifically boys, based on product attributes) and are suitable for a wide range of foot sizes available in UK children's sizing. They are best suited for children embarking on their running journey or for general active wear, offering comfort and support for everyday activities.
Cleaning: To clean the upper, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. For the sole, a brush can help remove dirt and debris.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
Maintenance: Regularly check the hook and loop fastenings for debris that might affect their grip. Remove any stones or dirt from the outsole rubber pods to maintain traction.
