Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• Important Sizing Advice: Karhu recommends buying 0.5 up from your regular size - e.g., if you are normally a UK 9, order a UK 9.5 - to ensure a comfortable fit
• The rope laces and webbing support allow you to customise the tension across the midfoot, making them excellent for those who require a more secure fit

Washing & Care Instructions

• To preserve the delicate textures of the upper, use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution and a soft-bristle brush for dirt removal
• We highly recommend applying a water and stain repellent spray before your first outing to protect the overlays
• If the shoes become wet, remove the insoles and allow them to air dry at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the EVA midsole and adhesives
• If the laces become soiled, they can be removed and hand-washed in warm soapy water to restore their original appearance

Karhu Fusion 2.0 - Our FAQs

1. Why do I need to size up in Karhu?
   The Fusion 2.0 features a more tapered, 90s-inspired toe box and significant internal padding. Moving up half a size prevents your toes from feeling cramped and allows the arch support to sit correctly.

2. Are these suitable for actual running?
   While the Fusion 2.0 is based on a high-performance 1996 running shoe, it is now positioned as a "lifestyle" model. It is perfect for walking and daily activities but lacks the modern technical features required for long-distance competitive running.

3. Will the reflective details stay visible over time?
   Yes, Karhu uses high-grade reflective piping and accents that are built into the construction of the shoe. These are designed to remain effective through regular use, providing an extra layer of safety for evening urban commutes.

4. Is the webbing tape on the side purely for aesthetics?
   Not at all. The webbing is a functional design carry-over from Karhu's performance days. It integrates with the lacing system to provide lateral and medial support, pulling the midfoot securely into the shoe to prevent sliding and improve stability.
