Karrimor Reviews

Karrimor walking shoes unfit for purpose

Having worn Karrimor walking shoes for over 15 years I took a new pair on holiday to Cyprus and only walked a few miles on the walk way now the right and one has split around the bottom The last 3 pairs have only lasted a few months while the previous pairs lasted years I have noticed that they are mow manufactured in China to a very low standard I guess that what happens when Sports Direct make there ranges in sweet shops in China

Junk

My thoughts echo the the vast majority other here on the shabby quality of Karrimor walking shoes My first pair of Hot Rock shoes lasted less than three months before the sole became detached A second pair the boot version experienced exactly the same problem and also an eyelet breaking off in the same time frame Products are poorly constructed obviously untested for durability and destined for land-fill in short time Indicative of the very worst corporate ethics Avoid

Shoes don t feel tested developed

Got some for 85 seemed good except they crushed the trunk of my big toes causing a LOT of pain especially when sitting Swapped out for a 40 pair which are ok but absolutely not breathable as advertised I live from a van and like to have one pair of shoes that can handle most situations ok Key features are waterproof and breathable This is my second pair of Karrimoors and I don t think they deserve another chance My feet are sweating all day every day It s really unpleasant All I want is a pair of waterproof shoes that don t turn my feet into saunas

Bought Karrimor Hot Rock walking shoes

Bought Karrimor Hot Rock walking shoes within six weeks internal had worn through stitches on outside gone and now sole falling off Never again going to Sports Direct Total rubbish should not be allowed to sell these days in Uk with trading standards

Terrible customer service

Bought a pair of boots that were described as leather but when I looked it up on line are actually Nubuck This requires slightly different treatment for the care and maintenance but there were no instructions with the boots I sent an email to the only contact address on the website Eventually they replied and said they had no information and I was to contact the manufacturer Er I thought Karrimor were the manufactuer How am I supposed to find out what factory in China provided this particular pair of boots

CHARGED US DOUBLE

ORDERED SOME WALKING SHOES FROM THEIR WEBSITE 90 WHEN THEY CAME THEY HAD A HALF PRICE STICKER ON THEM - MARKING THEM DOWN TO 45 WE COMPLAINED BUT THEY WERE NOT INTERESTED CUSTOMER SERVICE BASICALLY SAID - THAT S THE PRICE PLUS POSTAGE OF COURSE IF YOU DON Y LIKE IT RETURN THEM

KARRIMOR WITH WET FEET Every time I wear my Karrimor Hot Rocks

Every time I wear my Karrimor Hot Rocks waterproof walking shoes in anything other than dry conditions my feet get soaked Really disappointed as they are comfortable and look the part but waterproof they re not Just walking the dog on wet grass is enough to come home with wet socks Wish I d read reviews of other people also fooled by Karrimor s waterproof walking shoes claim before buying as I didn t realise Karrimor are now part of Sports Direct I m led to believe

boots leaked within 3 months

boots leaked within 3 months failed after 6 Not worn them since the summer then wore yesterday to find the sole coming away on the right boot Took them back to Sports direct to be told they didn t expect them to last for 6 months Should not be sold as walking boots - surely sales description act applies
