Proper care extends the life and performance of your Karrimor Duma 6 shoes:
Cleaning: For general dirt and grime, wipe the shoes 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 shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
Odor Control: If odors develop, remove the EVA insoles and air them out. You can also sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and insoles overnight, then shake it out.
