Men's Ladies Karrimor Traveller Shoes

Karrimor Traveller [Supa] are specifically made for walking and everyday wear. First off, they are not waterproof. Second, the soles do not have a big, thick, deeply grooved tread. It's actually rather smooth compared to some of the other pairs of Karrimor that are more geared towards heavy duty activities and terrain.

So, what have Karrimor Traveller got that makes them stand out? Well, they are known for being extremely comfortable, and very thick and chunky. Just because they are made more for casual everyday wear it doesn't mean that these trainers can't be worn on a hike or trail.

They are definitely tough enough for the task of an all day, light, dry hike on grass land or a trail. They are cheap to buy as well.

Karrimor Traveller trainers are unisex and also come pretty small sized in general because of how thick the uppers are. So they can feel a bit tighter than what can be described as a snug fit. It is recommended that you buy a half size, or full size bigger than you would usually take if available.

Some people have reported that even though they bought a whole size bigger Karrimor Traveller were still too tight fitting. Something to remember if you are considering buying a pair. Other Karrimor worth considering: Summit | Bodmin Low.
