Supa 5, Men’s Trekking & Hiking Shoes

Order arrived a day earlier than expected. Well packaged, great price. These shoes are really comfortable and great styling. I also have Karrimor boots which are really good and still as good as new after 3 years. Highly recommended.

Very prompt delivery. Good price on a well made shoe. These are comfortable but a bit firmer walking shoes and less like a trainer than previous Karrimor shoes that I have had and therefore are not so easy to drive in. However, it definitely feels like these shoes give a boost to your walking speed compared to previous ones I have owned.

Bought these in June 2025. I've worn them almost everyday since. The fit is as my shoe size, and initially very comfortable and lightweight, but the insole wore out quickly so I bought some others, not really a problem because I've worn the shoes a lot. The soles have an excellent grip and there is no sign of wear. I've walked footpaths and farm tracks, some stoney, about a 150 miles so far. The uppers have no sign of wear either but they are definitely NOT waterproof, even whilst walking through grass with morning dew. They dry out quickly though and I've had no problems with sweaty feet. All in all, for 30 quid, I would definitely buy again (when they're worn out)

Delivered on time with no issues. Great walking shoes, this is my second pair in 2 months as was really happy with the first. Would recommend them.

Good fit, comfy, good price and kept warm and dry.

Perfect git, sturdy but still light and they look great. Bargain.

While comfortable, unfortunately these shoes do have issues with the soles wearing thin and greatly reduced grip on wet conditions. I should not have worn the grip to effectively nothing within approximately 7 months of regular use. They are also not waterproof due to the upper having sections of ventilated fabric to help keep your feet cool. I'm sad to see that Karrimor perform so poorly as my previous pair of this exact model lasted several years of identical use.

I have just reviewed my earlier purchase of Karrimore Bodmin IV walking shoes so I am able to compare directly against these Karrimore Supa 5 versions. Both styles are excellent VFM shoes from Karrimore, and I'm delighted with the comfort and fit of the Supa 5 with the following caveat: These Supa 5 styles are definitely a lot tighter on the fit. I had ordered UK 10 of both styles and that's what was delivered, Bodmin IV fit perfectly with walking socks (which are a must if you intend to walk trails or hills in any boots). The Supa 5 do not allow walking socks to be worn and when compared directly there is at between 5 and 10 mm of difference on shoe length when compared sole to sole, that's easily a half to a whole size down on fit (i.e the Supa 5 is nearer to a UK 9 than a UK 10 - Maybe the chinese manufacturer picks and chooses which of the Karrimore walking shoes have an allowance for walking socks!!!) Having said that, I am getting away with using (much thinner) trainer socks as I intend to use the Supa 5 for general walking and cycling, where the trainer socks are adequate for comfort. If you intend to buy these for Hill/Mountain walking, or even trails for extended distances, then I STRONGLY recommend at least a half size increase and you might be best to seek out a store stockist to try them out first and save yourself the bother of guessing and having to return and re-order. IF you doubt this then take a careful look at the Supa 5 toe cap shape when compared against the Bodmin IV and you will see the latter is a higher profile and bulkier around this area, which means you have the much needed space for walking socks which is miissing on the Supa 5. There is no use in expecting a detailed explanation of the fit of any walking shoes, nor is it fair to expect one given the feet are seldom exactly symmetrical and vary in width, height and shape too between individuals, however, it is fair that sellers warn potential purchasers of style variations which could affect the fit!!!, That seems to be at least a part of the problem I have found, however, I'm not totally convinced,given the sole to sole comparison which must contribute as much to the fit as the style. Get the choice of fit spot on and these are great shoes at a great price!!
