I moved to North Yorkshire about a year ago and decided to take advantage of living on the doorstep of the Dales and get out and do some walking / running. Already a keen road runner I thought I would venture into the hills on the weekends in order to mix my training program up a bit. The only issue was that my road running trainers just weren't going to cut it on the rough terrain that the Dales had to offer. I looked around in numerous sport shops for fell running shoes; however I wasn't prepared to pay £100 for a pair. That's when I stumbled across the Karrimor Peak Walking shoes. Although officially advertised as a walking shoe, they fitted all the ...  Read the complete review

This is a really good shoe for those winter and spring months in the snow and grit. Bought these last winter and they have really come in handy as a technical shoe. The Brand:- Karrimor are a good franchise in the outdoor gear world I have many items of theirs. Unusually Karrimor are a british make and their gear are of good quality and surprisingly cheap. These 'peak' shoes are part of the bigger 'peak' range that Karrimor offer, ranging from light walking shoes like this to full blown mountain trail shoes suitable for light climbing and scrambling. Sizes range from 6 to 13 as you would expect. I dont use them on the trail I use them for the commute in ...  Read the complete review

There is a thing called the shoe/wear ratio that guys no all about and use to calculate how long a training shoe will last to the week by the price you pay. If you hand over a tenner in one of those cheap shoe places like 'Shu Value' for the perfunctory pair off the £9.99 rack then you don't expect them to last no longer than six months, a painful blister almost immediate at the top of your Achilles tendon as you break them in. And when I mean to the last I mean taking it to the limit, your bare heel already to touch the pavement when you finally concede they are shot. If you want your sneakers to be durable then you spend £60, 6 x 6 months minimum guaranteed. Women who .  Read the complete review

Karrimor Peak Mens Walking Shoes These shoes are perfect for when going for a big walk outdoor since they are though comfortable and especially cheap.

I am a keen walker and go out as often as I can - especially at weekends. Most of the time I wear my hard wearing walking boots, but sometimes when I am looking for a more gentle walk on less testing terrain I wear my Karrimor Peak walking shoes. Although I get a lot of comfort from wearing my walking boots, the Karrimor walking shoes are much better for shorter walks as I don't need to put thick socks on and they are much lighter. If you are looking for footwear for walking then I wouldn't say this product will meet all your walking needs, but as a casual pair of walking shoes they are great. The shoes are made from a synthetic leather, with a mesh upper to ...  Read the complete review
