Setup, Compatibility & Care ### Setup The Karrimor Summit Walking Shoes are ready to wear with minimal preparation: 1. Lacing: Thread the laces through all eyelets and tie them to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. Avoid overtightening, which can restrict circulation, or tying them too loosely, which may cause rubbing. 2. Break-In: While designed for comfort out of the box, wearing the shoes for short periods initially allows them to fully conform to your feet. ### Compatibility These shoes are specifically designed for adult males and are available in various UK sizes, including size 10 for this variant. Ensure you select the correct size, ideally trying them on with the type of socks you typically wear for walking, to guarantee the best fit. ### Care Proper care is essential to maintain the condition and extend the lifespan of your Karrimor Summit Walking Shoes: 1. Cleaning: After use, clean your shoes with a soft dry cloth to remove dirt and debris. For more stubborn marks, a lightly damp cloth can be used. Avoid abrasive cleaners or brushes that could damage the mesh or synthetic materials. 2. Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators, fireplaces, or direct sunlight, as this can cause materials to shrink, crack, or lose their shape. 3. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape. 4. Insole Maintenance: The Ortholite insoles are often removable. Take them out periodically to air dry and reduce moisture or odor build-up.
