FAQs
What is Fulcrum Technology?
Fulcrum Technology is KARHU's proprietary system designed to provide a stable base and guide the foot through a smooth, efficient motion, enhancing support and reducing energy loss during the stride.
Are these suitable for long-distance running?
While they offer good support for daily wear and moderate runs, they are primarily designed as versatile trainers for everyday activities and light jogging rather than specialized long-distance performance running.
How do I clean the leather and suede parts?
Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, apply a small amount of specialized leather and suede cleaner with a soft cloth, then wipe clean. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Can I wear these with orthotics?
Yes, you can often wear custom or aftermarket orthotics. You may need to remove the existing insole to make space for your orthotic. The fit and feel of the Fulcrum technology may be altered.
What makes the Finnish Line Guidance System unique?
This system works with the Fulcrum technology to provide advanced stability and ensure your foot moves in a controlled and efficient path, promoting better posture and alignment.
How do the reflective details work?
The reflective materials are designed to catch and bounce back light from external sources, such as headlights, making you more visible in low-light or dark conditions.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is constructed with a combination of premium leather and suede overlays for structure and support, along with breathable mesh panels to ensure airflow and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or require adjustment period
This is common with Fulcrum technology. Wear the shoes for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow your feet to adapt to the guidance system.
Reduced traction on slippery surfaces
Ensure the T-profile outsole is clean and free of debris. For extremely slick conditions, consider specialized footwear.
Leather or suede appearing dull or stained
Use appropriate leather and suede cleaning products for maintenance. Protectants can help prevent stains.
Discomfort in the arch area
Ensure the correct size is being worn. If discomfort persists, consider aftermarket insoles designed for added arch support or cushioning, though this may affect the Fulcrum technology's intended function.

Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains on leather and suede, use a specialized cleaner. Avoid immersing the shoes in water. The mesh panels can be gently wiped with a damp cloth.

- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect from dust and moisture.
