FAQs

Are the KARHU Fusion 2.0 suitable for running?

While the Fusion 2.0 features Fulcrum technology for gait efficiency, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers for everyday wear and comfort, not for serious athletic running.

How do I clean the suede and mesh parts?

Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For stains, use a damp cloth and mild soap solution on the mesh, and a specialized suede cleaner for the suede parts. Always air dry away from heat.

What does 'true to size' mean for these trainers?

'True to size' means they are expected to fit the wearer's standard shoe size accurately. If you are between sizes, it's generally recommended to consider trying the larger size for more comfort, especially if you have wider feet.

Do these trainers have good arch support?

The Fusion 2.0 incorporates Karhu's Fulcrum technology and a dual-density EVA midsole, which provide moderate support and help guide the foot's natural motion, beneficial for many users.

Are the reflective accents effective in the dark?

Yes, the reflective accents are designed to enhance visibility by reflecting light from sources like headlights, making them safer for use in low-light conditions.

What is the primary material used for the upper?

The upper is constructed from a combination of premium suede, leather, durable mesh, and ballistic nylon for a balance of style and resilience.

Can I wear these trainers in wet conditions?

While the materials offer some resistance, they are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials, especially the suede.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from shoes

This can sometimes happen due to friction between the insole and midsole. Try removing the insole, checking for debris, and reinserting it. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might also help.

Reduced cushioning over time

The EVA midsole's cushioning properties can diminish with extensive use. Ensure you are not exceeding the recommended wear for daily comfort and consider rotating with other footwear.

Reflective details fading

Reflective materials can wear down with abrasion and frequent washing. Minimize harsh cleaning methods and avoid excessive exposure to abrasive surfaces.

Fit feels too snug

The Fusion 2.0 runs true to size. If the fit is too snug, it may indicate the need for a wider size if available, or consider alternative lacing techniques to relieve pressure points. Ensure socks are not overly thick.
