The Karrimor Duma running shoes are built to make your initial steps into running as comfortable and supportive as possible. For daily short to medium-distance runs, these shoes provide the essential cushioning needed to absorb impact, thanks to the Ortholite insole and lightweight Phylon midsole. This makes them particularly effective for road running or light track work where consistent, moderate cushioning is key.
The seamless knitted upper adapts to your foot, offering a snug yet flexible fit that reduces the likelihood of chafing over time. The lace fastening allows for precise adjustment, ensuring your foot feels secure without being constricted, which is crucial for preventing blisters and maintaining stability during your stride. The rubber pods on the outsole provide dependable grip, giving you confidence on various paved surfaces, even in damp conditions. Consider these shoes your reliable partner for building a consistent running habit, offering a balance of comfort and practical features without overcomplicating your gear.
Your Karrimor Duma running shoes are ready to wear right out of the box. Simply:
Unlace the shoes sufficiently to easily slide your foot in.
Insert your foot, ensuring your heel sits comfortably against the back of the shoe.
Tighten the laces from the bottom upwards, ensuring an even, snug fit across your foot without being too tight. You should be able to wiggle your toes.
Tie a secure knot.
Intended Use: These shoes are primarily designed for running, especially for beginners or those engaging in regular short-to-medium distance road runs.
Sizing: This specific model is a UK Size 5 for adults. Always ensure you are wearing the correct size to prevent discomfort and potential injury.
Surfaces: Best suited for paved roads, sidewalks, and light track surfaces. While the outsole provides traction, they are not designed for rugged trails or extreme off-road conditions.
Proper care extends the life of your running shoes and maintains their performance:
Cleaning:
Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush (e.g., an old toothbrush) after each run.
For deeper cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap (like dish soap). Avoid harsh detergents.
Do not machine wash or machine dry your shoes, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
Drying:
Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Avoid direct heat sources (radiators, direct sunlight) as this can warp materials.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
Rotation: If you run frequently, consider having a second pair of running shoes to alternate. This allows each pair to fully dry out and recover between runs, extending their lifespan.
