Karrimor Recensioni 468

I bought a pair of Karrimor boots from sports direct. As I am now walking 2 to 5 miles a day I thought I would spend the extra money to get a decent pair and was told these would wear the test of time.

Oh dear, I bought these on 17/03/24 and yesterday 19/05/24 the heel fell of the right foot and on closer inspection the left heel has started to peel off as well.

I did not expect this to happen on a branded walking boot. 2 months and finished. The cheap ones I would pay £20 for would last 6 months.

It is a real shame because the inside sole on these is really comfortable and was really good as i suffer from a condition on my right heel called plantar fasciitis and it gave great relief which allowed me to walk further. Also the higher position on the lace holes made sure the boot stayed tight to the foot.

Very disappointed as they are now unusable.

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.

Bought Weathertite walking boots for daily walks with dog in nearby fields.
On second walk it rained and my feet were soaked. Dried them out and wore again on dry day with dewy grass, again feet soaked.
Tried to get money back from Sports Direct and they refused to give refund and were very disbelieving and rude.
Bought a Gortex pair which were double the price and a different brand. Hopefully they will be fit for purpose.

Trash clothing brand, nothing else to it. I bought pants that on the pictures had a single branding logo on one corner, it arrives and it in fact has 5 branding logos on each corner and also one on the upper corner, you're just a walking advertisement 0 stars.

Purchased a pair of Karrimor Hot Rock boots from Sports Direct approx 12 months ago, but didn't use them until my previous pair of boots died.. They lasted about 10 days before the sole started to seperate from the boot. Sadly by then I had lost the receipt and Sports Direct would not exchange them even though I still had their box and the boots looked new ( apart from falling apart ) Total Junk, on the bright side I have never spent a penny with Sports Direct since and found a much better local shop who does not sell pretty looking junk that is certainly not fit for purpose

Karrimor fleece Black, arm detached at seem . Well first my boot sole starts coming off now the arm of my fleece. Again as karrimor are now owned by SPORTS DIRECT , reported and was told they require an independent letter headed report on the defect. Well iam finished buying anything from Karrimor or Sports direct selling sub standard Chinese made items that have zero come back on them due to policy. NOTE IF IT WAS ONLY ME I WOULD SAY I WAS UNLUCKY HOWEVER JUST LOOKING AT THIS SITE AND EVEYBODY HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH ITEMS AND THE SELLERS, ITS NOT US ITS THEM

I had the Karrimor X Lite 15L Running Backpack. It was bought to use while walking the dog and so would carry a bottle of water, spare lead, frisby, etc. I had it 3 months and the main zips failed.
The teeth disintegrated!
It's not really a bag, its a flap of material with stupid inaccessible pockets on your hips, silly straps that get in the way including one that goes across your chest - this one keeps the main shoulder straps on your shoulders because they continually slip off as the straps have no structure at all. I gave in trying to put them on my shoulder the right way up. They're just a tangled mess within minutes of walking. The bag is going in the bin and good riddance. Needless to say I won't be buying Karrimor again. Useless design = useless product. But if you ever have the need to carry some sheets of A4 paper, plus perhaps a small stapler and spare staples at your hips, while free-climbing, then this is the bag for you!!!

Extremely disappointed in the Women's Hoot Rock Walking Boots. After a short time, the toe area completely came away from the sole leaving the boots unwearable. I have bought Karrimor before and they are usually an excellent make. However, it would appear their standard of manufacture has lowered. I have contacted the company and they are not interested in either refunding or replacing.

The sole of the Caracal trail runner trainers failed after a few weeks. Completely came off due to poor bonding or glue. Rest of the trainer is still in brand new condition. Probably just 20 hours use in total. Expected better for a £55 mid range product.

Karrimor Weathertite boots.
They leak like a sieve around the lace eyelets and the joint between the sole and the upper. Then the lace eyelets pull clean out of the boot as they are a poor fit.
Great for 3 weeks, then not so great. Put your money to something better.

Absolute crap running shoes, soles fell I’ve after moderate use.

Customer services, diabolical, obviously on commission to not replace faulty goods.

Shocking quality! Bought new trail trainers, wore them 3 times for a short period of time, each time they have shredded my feet to pieces. Never have I experienced this with any other brand. I contacted Karrimor as I don’t believe they are fit for purpose due to the fact they are unwearable, with proof of receipt, they asked for more information which I sent…..then nothing. I have emailed another 3 times with no reply! They take your money and run dont not touch them. It’s the 1st karrimor item I have bought and it will be the last ….non existent customer service

Ik heb al verschillende merken uitgeprobeerd en Karrimor steekt er met kop en schouder bovenuit. Heel degelijke materialen en zeer goede kwaliteit.

I usually buy the mount low 9 shoes and they only last a year and then you throw them in the bin, they are always on sale in sports direct but they are not exactly cheap.

I bought a pair of Karrimor Hot Rock Hiking boots from Sports Direct online. After just over 4 months wearing them, the sole came away from the main boot on both boots. I contacted Sports Direct customer service about the fault. The reply was that I needed to get an independent inspection report to prove that the fault was a manufacturing fault. The final reply I got was that they don't accept returns after 28 days.

In summary if the boots develop a fault after 28 days you will be required to provide an independent inspection report to prove it was a manufacturing fault.

Would not purchase Karrimor boots again. Sports Direct customer service agents seem to have a number of standard pieces of text to reject queries raised on faulty products.

I bought a pair of Karrimor Mens Bodmin Low 4 Weathertite Hiking Boots Grey/Cool Grey from M and M Direct. They were advertised by Karrimor as 100% waterproof, but after wearing them several times, they are more like paper slippers when it comes to keeping out the wet. I complained several times to Karrimor only to receive this reply from their customer services

Hi Andy,

This is incredulous, this means people if you buy any Karrimor product from anywhere else other than them directly. YOU HAVE NO PRODUCT GUARANTEE..

The product is cheap and nasty and made in China, the company is driven solely by profit and not quality or customer satisfaction. The old saying buy cheap buy twice is so prevalent when buying rubbish like this.. I know they are cheap people but it is worth paying a little extra not to end up with an awful product like Karrimor. WHICH ARE NOT MANUFACTURED IN THE UK 100% NOT.

They used to be a reasonably good brand of walking shoe, but unfortunately in recent years they have become, possibly the worst quality walking shoe in my experience, I have purchased around 6 different pairs over the last few years, and they are all plagued by poor manufacturing and assembly processes, they probably last 6 months if you're lucky, the last pair which were 4 months old, had both soles detaching from the shoe, with no adhesive/glue apparent on either sole, arch, or toe, none were waterproof, not even to the extent of walking through wet grass, save your money for a decent brand, you will be disappointed.

I agree with all that has been said about this brand. My Karrimor walking boots from Sports Direct are falling apart at the seams. I keep going with them and coming home with soggy socks, but cannot go on much longer. I despair of so many products being made cheaply and then ending up in landfill, rather than lasting the length of time they should.

Had no idea Karrimore are now owned by Sports Direct. Explains why the boots are rubbish and why the soles on both boots came away within months. Karrimore Hot Rocks btw. Total, proper waste of money - may as well have set fire to £50. Environmental crime by this company, because having shipped them across seas, they will now just go in land-fill FAR sooner than deserved. Mending the sole has not fixed the leak. Makes the boots pointless as grass/moors always damp/wet when I walk.

there products are cheap rubbish that fails in conditions far.lighter than they are designed for.
be warned buy from this company youll soon be buying another pair of boots. save money and go to a reputable supplier . not one that turns its back on its products . that says everything you need to know.
leather hiking boots that last about a year with very light use. sole still virtually new so you can tell light use only
