While I appreciate that karrimor are no what they once were in terms of bags etc, I feel they’re being a little hard done by on here. I’ve had multiple pairs of walking shoes from them over the years, waterproof and comfortable, hammered daily and last about a year. I’ve had merrels and brashers over the period, which cost 2-3 times as much. And didn’t last any longer or were materially an improvement. The Merrels we’re particularly bad. With the outsole wearing smooth in c6 months and the mid-sole basically collapsing.
So yes, not what that were but id rather buy a £40 pair of karrimor shoes each year. Rather than an £80+ “quality” brand every 6 months, that end up ruining my feet!
