Karrimor Summit walking shoes not usesable

zaax

Brought a pair of Karrimor Summit walking shoes from Sports direct Thursday wore them last night and nearly went [censored] over tit when I walked into the gents, it was like walking on ice & the floor wan't particularly wet.
They are going back.

Karrimor is now a Sports Direct brand, it's good heritage has largely been sold down the river.

Cheap nasty stuff that always says it is on sale.

I'd like to be there when you tell them why you want a refund ! Don't think you'll have much luck. Will you be doing much walking on wet tiled floors ?

Watched a programme on BBC a couple of weeks ago - flat soles (pumps?) are better on tiled / laminate floors as there is a greater area of contact between the wearer and the floor. Walking shoes with chunky grips are designed for mud / snow etc.

T'other half and DS have cheap Karrimor walking boots / shoes and they've been ok for the level of walking they do (some incline, up to 6 miles).

I'm off Karrimor as well - bought some for dog walking, a couple of hours a day mainly on pavements and the sole has worn through to holes in under 2 months. Not impressed.

Hmmm so if I understand this correctly you bought some shoes that are designed for use outside and your going to take them back and ask for a refund because they are not very good inside?

As others have said, good luck with that.


Please let us know how you get on

I didn't know this. I used to really rate Karrimor back in the day. Weee.
