FAQs
What is Fulcrum Technology?
Fulcrum Technology is an internal support system engineered by KARHU to provide a stable and supportive platform, promoting smoother transitions and reducing fatigue during movement.
Are these trainers suitable for long-distance running?
The Super Fulcrum trainers are designed primarily for everyday wear and light activities, offering excellent support and stability. For dedicated long-distance running, specialized performance running shoes might be more appropriate.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the KARHU sizing chart available on the product page or contact customer support for assistance. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the chart for the most accurate fit.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash KARHU Super Fulcrum trainers, especially those with leather and suede components, as this can damage the materials and affect the shoe's structure.
How do the reflective details help?
The reflective details are strategically placed to enhance your visibility to others in low-light conditions, such as dawn, dusk, or when walking near traffic at night, contributing to safety.
What is the benefit of the T-profile lug outsole?
The T-profile lug outsole provides enhanced traction and grip on various surfaces, making the trainers more reliable for daily wear in different conditions.
Can these trainers be worn by women?
While this specific model is listed under 'Male' attributes, KARHU often offers unisex designs. Check the product details for specific gender recommendations or look for unisex models if needed.
Troubleshooting
Uneven wear on the sole
This could be due to your natural gait. The Fulcrum Technology aims to correct this, but if persistent, consult a footwear specialist or consider if the size/fit is optimal.
Reduced breathability
Ensure the breathable mesh panels are clean and free from debris. Check that the laces are not tied too tightly, which can restrict airflow.
Suede material looks dull or dirty
Use a specialized suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser or a professional cleaning product may be necessary. Avoid water on suede.
Shoes feel stiff initially
This is common with new leather and suede footwear. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape. The Fulcrum technology also requires a brief adjustment period.
