The Karrimor Duma 6 running shoes excel as a versatile option for active children. Their primary use is for casual running, school sports, and everyday play. The combination of the lightweight phylon midsole and EVA insole provides ample cushioning for activities like running around the playground, participating in school athletics, or short jogs. The hook and loop fastening is particularly beneficial for kids, allowing them to independently secure their shoes for a snug fit, reducing the risk of them coming loose during activity.

Playground Activities: Durable enough to withstand general wear and tear during active play.
First Running Steps: Provides a good foundation for children new to running, focusing on comfort and ease of use.
Everyday Wear: Lightweight and comfortable for all-day use.
Choose the Right Size: Ensure there is about a thumb's width space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. Check the size_children_foot_uk attribute for guidance.
Adjust Fastening: Have the child wear socks they would typically run in. Fasten the hook and loop straps snugly but not too tightly, allowing for comfortable foot movement.
Check Comfort: Ask the child to walk and lightly jog to ensure there are no pinch points or rubbing.
These shoes are designed for kids (age group) and are suitable for a female gender, as indicated by the product attributes. They are best suited for children starting their running journey or for general active wear on paved surfaces, grass, or indoor environments.
Proper care extends the life and maintains the performance of your Karrimor Duma 6 running shoes.
Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt. For tougher grime, wipe the knitted upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can cause materials to shrink or crack.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Odour Control: If odours develop, remove insoles and air them out. Shoe deodorizers or baking soda can also be used.
