Karhu provides sizing suggestions on each product page. When fitting running shoes we recommend going up half a size in the Ikoni and Ikoni HiVo. 

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

The Fulcrum is a midsole technology found primarily in our running shoes. 

Karhu's Fulcrum technology is designed to move you forward efficiently. 

It is because of this Fulcrum unit that Karhu shoes produce less vertical and horizontal oscillation – or “bounce” producing more forward momentum in every stride.

Ortix is what gives KARHU shoes their unique “fit”.

This fit is based on data driven insights, in the form of 2 Million foot scans.

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 Ikoni and Synchron. These models utilize longer variations of our Fulcrum unit, which helps to minimize pronation.

Karhu provides sizing suggestions on each product page. Based on our experience fitting sneakers, we recommend going up half a size in the Albatross 82, Aria 95, Fusion 2.0, Mestari Control, Fusion XT, and M-Runner. 

For the Synchron Classic and Trampas, we suggest ordering a full size up. 

The Mestari, Legacy 96, Albatross Control, Fusion XC, and Super Fulcrum run true to size. 

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.
