Karrimor Journey WTX men’s walking shoes- after 15 months the stitching on both shoes failed. Karrimor customer services refused to assist as product was order >12 months previously . Not what I would expect from a quality brand at all

I bought a pair of Lion WTX Leather Mountain Boots in February from Sports Direct. I was quite happy with them until now when I discovered that they are not waterproof despite being advertised as such and having a fully sewn in tongue. As I no longer have the receipt I contacted Karrimor and explained the above and asked for a refund. They said I must go back to the retailer with proof of purchase within 28 days!! What a ridiculous response! I shall never buy any Karrimor product again.

I paid for the 3to1 Karimoor jacket £129 but received one with 70% sale costing £55 . Only the saving was not passed to me. Someone in the Karimoor site is laughing all the way to the bank selling me something with a tag of £54.99 for £129. This is very shady. I have requested a refund. Funnily enough the mention this on their website

"The Website contains a large number of goods and it is possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the goods listed on the Website may be incorrectly priced.

We will give you the option of re-confirming your order at the correct price or cancelling it.

So... if they miss-price something as cheaper than it should be they are under no obligation to sell this. But they dont mention what happens when they charge 50% more. I guess I will find out very soon as I have sent an email to their team. Lets see if I will need to update the review to 0 stars. I will be claiming misleading or unfair pricing under the UK Unfair Trading Regulations.

Bought Karrimor caracal Sneakers on a trip to Europe this summer (from Canada). Absolutely and easily one of the worst footwear purchases I ever made. Within 3 weeks of wearing them the sole was punctured by a small rock on a walking trail - less than 50kms of walking/hiking wear.

I contacted customer support who said to return them for assessment. I told them I was in Canada so I couldn't do that and they again just said to return them to where I bought them for assessment, despite me explaining why this wasn't possible.

Anyway, the shoe is not as robust or well-made as other brands I have like (Merrill, Adidas, New Balance or Nike). The customer service is awful. Buyer Beware, spend your money on a better product from a company that knows customer service.

What has happened Karrimor trainers? I used to enjoy the comfort when walking but now things have changed, even the assistant told me that when I tried some. They were the same look as previously but tighter toe space. I bought a different style but find they are not comfortable either. Then I did my research, too late, and realise they are no longer Karrimor but the name was bought by Sports Direct and now a cheap version of what was a very good trainer. The ortholite raise is still there but that's about it.
So off to find decent trainers now.

The quality is very bad after 2 weeks they come to pieces better show on picture but haven’t ability to attach

What a horrible shoe , I walk my dog many miles a week and my Jack Walker shoes have had their day after 5 years , didn’t read the reviews on Karrimor footwear bought from Sports direct only 2 weeks ago. The WORST shoe ever , no padded insole you will need to buy insoles as the shoes are so hard they will last forever that’s because I’ll never wear them again . There is no padding in the heel area so now have blister plasters on both feet don’t waste your money they are cheap for a reason because they are awful !!!!

I hate leaving bad reviews. I want everything to be good that I've spent my hard earned money on. Sadly the Karrimore boots don't fit into the good category.
9 months in and the back has fallen off of one of the boots. They cost me £90 and not even lasted a year.
I'm so disappointed. Here we go again....LOOKING FOR GOOD WALKING BOOTS

At 81 with a mobility problem l have worn Karrimor boots for many years with only one failure 3/4’s of their life through. The rubber souls began to come adrift so l stuck it back with ‘Sticks Like erm Sugar’ and that saw them out to garden duty for another 6 months. Right now l have 3 pairs on the go in black, blue and my posh silver with yellow laces.

Bought a pair of Karrimor Journey walking shoes from Sports Direct around 18 months ago. They have been worn a few times, but not excessively. First problem was realised very quickly - a heavy stitch through the centre line of the sole - this is so prominent it can be felt through the insole and caused great discomfort and blistering. Fortunately I was able to correct this with an additional thin rubber insole, improving the comfort and wearability.. Recently however, I have noticed stitching coming away in the outer leather seams - so it looks like these shoes are coming apart already. They are not particularly cheap so this is extremely disappointing. Before writing this review I searched on the reviews for this particular shoe and noticed someone else has reported this problem of cheap stitching being used in a fairly expensive product. Will not be buying any more Karrimor products.

I've had Karrimor walking shoes since 2019. Not a lot of pairs, as not needed. First pair lasted until early 2024 with no issues. Bought two more in 2024, (as they're so comfortable I wear them everywhere), and one pair is nearly worn through the sole. However, our walking has now advanced and we literally climb mountains. These have been up Scafell Pike, Heron Ridge, Catbells to name a few and we now do a lot of hill walking near home, (Southdowns), so they've not had it easy. Can't fault the uppers. Still scrub up well, but four years to eighteen months? It's not like we didn't walk before, just not so much... off road if you like. I'm hoping it just is the more rugged terrain rather than inferior materials being used for the sole. We'll see.

Ordered x 3 types of T-shirt for walking the dog and they came in a timely
Manner and on schedule. I also received discount on x 2 of the T-shirt which I thought was value for money coming in at under £48 including postage and packaging

Absolute nightmare! Ordered a pair of walking shoes which were only shipped three days after ordering. Unfortunately, the sizing was not good so wanted to return them and re-order a different size. However, their website is not working for returns and despite sending a message via the site no one gets back to you. Will I be ordering from them again, NOT IN A MILLION YEARS.
Fortunately my credit card company refunded me after providing proof of the problems with this outfit.

Excellent communication regarding delivery, and easy-to-use website. And a great sale on the running shirts that I needed!

In the trip I mentioned in another review (Scotland 2024) the backpack was the Karrimor SF Sabre 60-100l backpack.

The only downside I found is that it’s a bit heavy when empty, but you have to understand it’s a Bergen style backpack made for extremely heavy duty, with humidity proof threads, a heavy duty rain cover, an internal chassis able to support , in my case, over 27kg of weight, extremely durable yet easy to open and close YKK zippers. I tested it hiking solo for 2 weeks in Scotland with tent, tarp, sleeping bag, several changes of clothing, a book and some other stuff. I also bought the Yoke system, to use the 2 additional 12.5 liters pouches as a small backpack.

Never had an issue, I can trust my life on that backpack system.

Planning to buy a Modi 15 backpack as everyday use and for work.

I had bought shoes from Sportsdirect slough store on 19th May 2025 but its tear of from inside with in three month.

Strange in my box i found a stickers mentioning 50pct off or the price must be 49.99 instead 99.99 ?
However I paid you 99.99 its means that you will reimburse me 49.99 ??? please advise.09/

I bought Hiking boots in 2023 that looked robust and was guaranteed waterproof(not resistant) Price was €125 REDUCED FROM €195. 2 months into hillwalking one boot leaked. Eventually 6 months both boots leaked. This was after taking great care to clean , stuff newspaper inside and seal with a waterproof compound -Grangers Wax and air dried . Not beside a fire . I bought another pair last week 2nd August 2025 , Cheetah WTX. I will observe performance .!! Brendan

Running shoes soles came off after just a few months of light walking. No way to complain to company. Avoid them

Had a pair of karrimor trainers for years and was very happy so brought a pair of hiking boots last year. First time wearing them I stopped and the lace hooks stuck together causing me to fall them one broke. Tried to return to the sports shop I brought from via mail order ( I live in Shetland). Customer services arranged collection never turned up after numerous emails still nothing so decided I may as well wear them. Now I can only lace half way up due to more braking and as previous people have stated no longer waterproof. I will never buy this make again.
