FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the Fulcrum Technology?

The Fulcrum Technology in these trainers is designed to provide increased support and promote a smoother transition from heel strike to toe-off with every step, enhancing overall stability.

Are these trainers suitable for serious running?

While they are inspired by KARHU's running heritage and offer supportive technology, they are primarily designed for everyday wearability and all-day movement, including light training. For high-performance or marathon running, specialized running shoes might be more appropriate.

How do I clean the suede and leather parts?

Use a soft, dry cloth for leather and a suede brush for suede. Avoid water and harsh chemicals. For stains, consult specific leather or suede care products and instructions.

What does the Finnish Line Guidance System do?

This system works with the Fulcrum technology to provide enhanced stability and guide the foot's natural alignment during movement.

Are there reflective elements on the trainers?

Yes, the KARHU Super Fulcrum trainers include subtle reflective details to improve visibility in low-light conditions.

What kind of outsole do these trainers have?

They feature a modern T-profile lug outsole, which is designed to offer dependable traction for daily wear on various surfaces.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is constructed with a combination of premium leather and suede overlays, complemented by breathable mesh panels.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct UK size. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially. If the issue persists, consider trying a different size or model.

Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces

Clean the T-profile lug outsole to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might be affecting grip. Allow shoes to dry completely after exposure to moisture.

Leather or suede appears scuffed or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush for suede areas and a soft cloth for leather. For tougher marks, consider a leather cleaner or suede eraser, following product instructions carefully.

Breathability seems limited

Ensure the mesh panels are clean and free of obstructions. Wearing moisture-wicking socks can also enhance the feeling of breathability.

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the leather and suede areas with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt on suede, use a suede brush. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the shoes.
  2. Mesh Panels: Use a damp cloth to clean the mesh sections. Allow them to air dry naturally.
  3. Outsole: Clean the T-profile outsole with a brush to remove any dirt or debris. A damp cloth can be used for tougher grime.
