When fitting running shoes we recommend going up half a size in the Ikoni and Ikoni HiVo.

The Fusion and Synchron fit true to size with the Synchron being a slimmer fit.

The Fulcrum is a midsole technology found primarily in our performance shoes.  It is designed to move you forward efficiently.  Karhu shoes produce less vertical and horizontal oscillation – or “bounce” producing more forward momentum in every stride.

Ortix is what gives KARHU “fit” which is based on data driven insights. The data collected from over 2 Million runner's feet.

Ortix refers to the shape of the midsole, volumes of the upper and overall measurements of the last.

HiVo provide a higher volume upper to accommodate thicker or broader feet, and feet with common problems like bunions, calluses and corns.

A specific last and upper pattern for a women's foot. Only available for the Karhu Fusion.

A shoe update ending in .5 will have a very similar fit and feel to its predecessor.The updated shoe will have undergone minor improvements.

A shoe update ending in .0 will have undergone a complete overhaul. The fit and/or feel will be different from the previous version.

Yes! We have running shoes with increased support to help guide your foot through a more natural gait.

Check out the Fusion and Synchron which contain longer variations of our fulcrum piece to help smooth out pronation. 

From our experience with fitting Lifestyle we recommend to go up half a size in the Albatross, Aria and Fusion 2.0.

For the Synchron Classic and Trampas order a full size up.

The Mestari and Legacy are the most true-to-size in our experience.

It is not recommended to use a washing machine to clean shoes.  We recommend using a dry hairbrush or toothbrush to remove debris from the outsole, midsole, and upper.  Mix warm water with a small amount of laundry detergent to make a cleaning solution. Remove laces and insert. Proceed to use a clean cloth with the cleaning solution to clean the laces, insert, and any areas of the shoe that are dirty.  Avoid submerging the shoe or soaking it completely.  Repeat on any area again if necessary.  Remove excessive moisture with a dry cloth or stuff your shoes with newspaper overnight.  Let the laces, insert, and shoe air dry completely before use.
