Hi. I followed your recommendations and ordered 1 size bigger than normal ending up too big shoe which I returned. Please review if your recommedation for this model is valid still. Looks of the shoe is great and will order smaller size.

This is my third pair of Karhus, first Aria95. I usually wear size 46, but with Karhu I have to go with 48 for them to be really comfortable. Anyway, the shoe is great, materials are high quality, super comfortable for daily walking.

Compared to Fusion 2.0 which are had previously, these feel a bit more loose, but still provide enough support. (Although looks wise these look more thin on foot, Fusion 2.0 looks bulkier on foot if you prefer your shoes to look bigger).

I usually wear them with jeans or pleated pants and they look great with both, I get many compliments on them. Definitely recommend, will buy more Karhus in the future.

I orderded half a size bigger, just like they recommended on the site and the shoes fit perfectly. Very pleased with the quality and overal look and feel. Very positive experience and what makes it even better is that its a European brand.
