What materials are used in the construction of the Fusion 2.0?

Troubleshooting

Sizing seems incorrect

The Fusion 2.0 is designed to be true to size. If the fit is not quite right, consider trying a different size or consulting Karhu's specific sizing chart for accurate measurements.

Discoloration of suede or mesh

Protect suede with appropriate waterproofing sprays before wear. Clean gently with a suede brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or excessive moisture.

Reduced traction on the outsole

Clean the rubber tread thoroughly with a brush and water to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that may be affecting grip.

Midsole appears worn or damaged

Inspect the midsole for signs of significant degradation. If the cushioning feels significantly diminished or there are visible cracks, it may be time to consider replacement.
