There were also concerns about sizing inconsistencies and a perceived decline in overall quality compared to previous purchases from the brand.

I bought a brilliant pair of Karrimor…

I bought a brilliant pair of Karrimor trail shoes a few years ago. The same available fit completely differently, don't come in at the sides of the arch at all. Had to send them back. And pay for postage. If they are the same they should be exactly the same otherwise it's misleading.

Karrimor - Appalling waste of money

Have a pair of mens walking boots. Bought them as a back up pair 2 years ago. Only just started using them. First walk in heavy dew in long grass both feet end up wet less than a mile walk. Further 2 walks later less than 10 miles of total use, both soles have come off on each boot. Now only attached at toe end.Appalling quality

Ordered some socks from the Karrimor…

Ordered some socks from the Karrimor website. Wrong size. Having paid £9.99 delivery, I had to pay for the return. And the £9.99 delivery cost so lost about £14 in all getting the wrong item. Also, the item turned up with discount stickers from Sports Direct on the packaging.

Nasty, will never use them again. Ended up costing me £32 to get a £12.99 pair of socks.

Some time ago I left a very negative…

Some time ago I left a very negative review of my Karrimor hiking boots due to poor quality soles which wore down very quickly in around 12 weeks, The main boot was in perfect condition but the tread on soles had wore down, I have recently purchased both boots and trail shoes on a resale site, It looks like Karrimor took the negative review's seriously as I am delighted to say the new soles are excellent very hard wearing.

Appalling Quality

I’ve always had Karrimor walking boots but not any more. My latest pair were awful. No resistance to water leakage and the soles wore out in a couple of months. Since no longer being manufactured in the UK the quality has nose dived.
DONT BUY KARRIMOR.

Karrimor feather filled jackets buyer beware

Bought a karrimor long length ladies coat with feathers in, got it November 2024 rrp was £200 sale ticket £65 bargain ? No since purchasing the coat its fine wispy feathers keep leaking through i look like a plucked chicken. I have tried everything to stop this they recommend shake it, not tempted to pull the feather out. Its now February 2025 its still awful and not worth buying at any cost, karrimor reckon its normal and will settle but as an ex employee of a sewing factory that made outerwear this product is not fit for purpose don't by feather filled jacket especially from karrimor

Useless karrimor quality

Purchased a pair of karrimor trail running shoes from sports direct. Within less than 1 month of light use, cracked uppers. The quality is pathetic. Avoid karrimor products, they are cheap junk.

Appalling quality

Bought a pair of waterproof walking shoes less than 2 months ago. The sole has already started coming away and the liner is split on both heels. Plus my feet were soaked when it was raining so they’re not waterproof either. Absolutely appalling quality. Avoid

AVOID

AVOID. Bought boots for £99.99. They arrived with huge sticker on box saying £49.99 - still charged me full price, of course. No way to get in touch - no phone number, no email address. So, sod 'em, instead of me asking for £50 back I returned the boots and got the whole lot back. Bought some better boots elsewhere for less than half the price. Only gave them 2 stars instead of 1 because they did process the refund quickly.

Well Karrimor Snowfur Sn41t

Well this is what they said: The Karrimor Snowfur Sn41 is the ultimate companion for those who demand performance and style. waterproof protection, ensuring your feet stay warm and dry.
Day one of a trek in light snow in Austria and they leaked like vented training shoes. As soon as the snow went above the sole, the inside got wet and eventually cold. Useless.

karrimor walking boots not good

Have always worn karrimor walking shoes and boots but recently noticed that they are not the same quality as before as ankle protection is not as good and rubs. Waterproofing is almost non existent. I would no longer recommend
