FAQs
How do I clean the suede on my Karhu Fusion 2.0 Trainers?
Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher marks, a suede eraser or a damp cloth with a dedicated suede cleaner can be used. Always let them air dry completely.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Fusion 2.0 features Karhu's fulcrum technology, which aids efficient foot movement. While derived from a running shoe, they are best suited for comfortable casual wear, walking, and light recreational activities rather than intense or long-distance running.
What is Karhu's Fulcrum Technology?
It's a unique midsole design element that helps guide the foot through its natural running gait cycle. This reduces impact and improves the efficiency of your stride, enhancing overall comfort and support.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
Due to the suede material, it is not recommended to wear these trainers in heavy rain. For light moisture, ensure you've applied a high-quality suede protector spray. Prolonged exposure to water can damage the suede.
How do I ensure the correct fit?
The Karhu Fusion 2.0 is designed for a comfortable adult fit. We recommend trying them on with the type of socks you typically wear. If you are between sizes, consider trying both options or consulting a sizing guide specific to Karhu (Info needed: provide link to sizing guide if available).
What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?
For optimal comfort and to manage moisture, breathable athletic or casual socks made from cotton or a synthetic blend are recommended.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted.
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. Brush in small, circular motions or in one consistent direction.
Trainers feel too snug or loose.
Adjust the lacing system. Ensure laces are evenly tightened across the foot. Wear them for a short period to allow the materials to adapt.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Check the insole. Sometimes, a loose insole can cause squeaking. Remove it, clean the inside of the shoe, and reinsert it. If the issue persists, consider replacing the insole.
Sole appears worn out prematurely.
While the rubber outsole is durable, excessive wear on specific areas may indicate gait issues or prolonged use on abrasive surfaces. Ensure you are using the trainers for their intended purpose.

Care
Given the suede material of your brown Karhu Fusion 2.0 Trainers, specific care is essential to maintain their appearance and longevity:
- Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray to guard against water and stains.
- Cleaning:
- Use a soft suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. Brush in one direction.
- For minor stains, use a suede eraser or a damp cloth with a specialized suede cleaner, blotting gently.
- Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid exposing them to heavy rain or prolonged wet conditions without prior protection, as this can damage the suede.
