The Karrimor Duma Running Shoes are built for the casual runner or those just starting out. The combination of the Phylon midsole and Ortholite insole provides a soft, cushioned ride, which is crucial for absorbing impact and maintaining comfort over shorter to medium distances. This makes them ideal for introductory running programs, daily jogging, or regular treadmill sessions where comfort is key.
The seamless knitted upper offers a snug yet flexible fit, reducing the likelihood of rubbing or irritation, especially beneficial during break-in periods. This design also promotes breathability, helping to keep feet comfortable during your workout. The rubber pods on the outsole ensure reliable grip on typical road surfaces, paved paths, and light track conditions, giving new runners confidence in their stride. These shoes excel in providing foundational comfort and basic support, making them a solid choice for consistent, low-to-moderate intensity running activities.
Lacing: Begin by loosening the laces completely. Slide your foot into the shoe, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated at the back.
Adjusting Fit: Starting from the toes, pull each pair of laces gently upwards to remove slack, working your way towards the ankle. Ensure the fit is snug across the midfoot but not overly tight, allowing your toes to wiggle slightly.
Securing Laces: Tie your laces firmly, perhaps with a double knot, to prevent them from coming undone during your run.
Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, allow for a few shorter runs (e.g., 20-30 minutes) to fully break in the shoes and allow the materials to adapt to your foot's unique shape.
User Type: Best suited for entry-level to intermediate runners and individuals looking for comfortable walking or general fitness shoes.
Running Surface: Ideal for road running, paved paths, track (light use), and treadmill use.
Foot Type: Designed for neutral pronation or mild overpronation. The Ortholite insole offers general cushioning and support.
Cleaning: Remove loose dirt and debris with a soft brush. For stains, gently hand wash the shoes using mild soap (e.g., dish soap) and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach.
Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources (like radiators or dryers), which can damage materials. Stuffing the shoes with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures for extended periods.
Odor Control: If odors develop, remove the insoles to air out, and consider using shoe deodorizers or baking soda inside the shoes.
