The Karrimor Summit Walking Shoes are engineered for comfort and stability on light outdoor excursions. Their lightweight construction, combined with the cushioned Phylon midsole and Ortholite insole, ensures that you can enjoy extended periods of walking without discomfort. The Dynagrip rubber sole is particularly effective on mixed surfaces often found on park paths, light hiking trails, and urban environments, offering confident footing.
For example, during a leisurely weekend walk through a local park or on a well-maintained forest trail, these shoes provide excellent support and traction. The mesh panels help manage foot temperature, preventing overheating on warmer days. The secure lace-up fit means your foot stays in place, reducing the risk of blisters or instability. While they are built to protect your feet with the wrap-around toe box, their true strength lies in providing a comfortable and reliable experience for general outdoor walking rather than tackling strenuous mountain climbs or technical terrain.
Using your Karrimor Summit Walking Shoes is straightforward:
Lacing: Ensure laces are threaded securely through all eyelets. Start with a firm but comfortable tension at the toe.
Fit Adjustment: Pull the laces snugly, working from the toe upwards. Tie a double knot for maximum security, especially before long walks.
Break-in: While comfortable from the start, wear them for shorter periods initially to allow them to fully conform to your feet.
Gender/Age: Designed for adult males.
Footwear: Intended for general outdoor walking and light trails.
Size: Available in various UK adult sizes, including UK 14 (this specific variant). Consider wearing appropriate walking socks for the best fit and comfort.
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your shoes:
Cleaning: Clean the shoes using a soft dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials which could damage the mesh or sole.
Drying: If shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can cause materials to shrink or crack.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
