FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the Fulcrum Technology?
The Fulcrum Technology is designed to provide increased support and promote a smoother transition from heel strike to toe-off with every step.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While inspired by running heritage, the Super Fulcrum is primarily designed for everyday wear, offering comfort and stability for walking and standing. They are not intended for high-performance athletic running.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to the KARHU sizing chart available on the retailer's website or consult the product's specific size guide. It's often recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the chart. Trying them on in-store is ideal if possible.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials (leather, suede, mesh) and the structural components of the shoe. Hand-clean according to the care instructions.
What do the reflective details do?
The reflective details are designed to catch light and reflect it back, increasing your visibility in low-light conditions such as dusk, dawn, or when walking near traffic.
How often should I clean my trainers?
Clean your trainers as needed based on wear and soiling. Regular brushing of suede and leather can help maintain their appearance. Deep cleaning should be done periodically when they appear dirty.
What is the Finnish line guidance system?
It's a design element integrated with the Fulcrum technology that works to guide the foot through a more natural and stable motion during walking.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff initially
This is common with new leather and suede. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow them to break in and conform to your foot.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
The T-profile outsole provides good grip for dry and moderately wet conditions. For significantly wet or slippery surfaces, exercise caution as with any footwear. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris.
Discoloration on leather/suede
For minor scuffs, try a leather cleaner or conditioner. For stains on suede, use a specialized suede eraser and brush. Test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
