The Karrimor Duma 6 Running Shoes are built to support active kids through their daily adventures and initial running endeavors. The combination of the EVA insole and Phylon midsole provides a noticeable level of cushioning, which is crucial for absorbing impact from running and jumping, protecting growing joints. This makes them excellent for playground activities, school sports, and recreational running.
The hook and loop fastening is a standout feature for children, allowing them to independently secure their shoes for a snug fit, reducing the risk of tripping over loose laces. The seamless knitted upper offers a balance of flexibility and support, conforming comfortably to the foot while standing up to the rigors of active play. Furthermore, the rubber pods on the outsole ensure reliable grip, giving young runners confidence on various surfaces, from pavement to grass, reducing slips and enhancing stability during quick changes of direction. These shoes are best utilized for regular, moderate activity where comfort, support, and durability are key.
Check Fit: Ensure the shoe fits correctly. With the hook and loop fasteners open, slide your child's foot in. There should be a thumb's width of space between their longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Secure Fastening: Pull the hook and loop strap firmly across the top of the foot and press down to secure it. The fit should be snug but not uncomfortably tight.
Test Walk/Run: Have your child walk and lightly jog to ensure the shoes are comfortable and do not slip at the heel.
Age Group: Specifically designed for kids.
Activity: Ideal for casual running, active play, school, and everyday wear.
Surfaces: Suitable for indoor and outdoor use on various common surfaces.
Cleaning: Wipe off dirt and mud with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Avoid harsh detergents.
Drying: Air dry shoes naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically and allow them to air out. If necessary, use shoe deodorizers.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
