FAQs
Are the Fusion 2.0 trainers suitable for running?
The Fusion 2.0 features Fulcrum technology designed to enhance natural gait efficiency and offers good cushioning, making them suitable for light jogs or everyday training. However, for intense or long-distance running, specialized running shoes are recommended.
How do I determine the correct size?
The Fusion 2.0 is designed to fit true to size for both men and women. It is recommended to measure your foot and compare it to the provided size chart. If you are between sizes, consider your preferred fit (snug or roomier).
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
While the trainers offer some protection, they are not waterproof. The suede and leather uppers are best kept dry. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions, and allow them to air dry naturally if they get damp.
What does the speckled midsole signify?
The speckled midsole is a design element that adds to the retro, 90s-inspired aesthetic of the Fusion 2.0, contributing to its distinctive visual character.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
For light dirt, use a soft brush. For tougher marks on suede, a suede eraser can be effective. Always test cleaning methods on an inconspicuous area first and avoid excessive moisture.
What is the main difference between the Fusion 2.0 and other Karhu models?
The Fusion 2.0 specifically revisits and reinterprets the original 1996 Fusion model, focusing on a blend of 90s design elements and modern comfort features like the Fulcrum technology and dual-density midsole.
Are there reflective elements on all colourways?
Yes, reflective accents are a feature of the Fusion 2.0 design, enhancing visibility in low-light conditions across various colourways.
Troubleshooting
Unusual squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and midsole. Try removing the insole, checking for debris, and reinserting it firmly. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might also help.
Laces not staying tied
Ensure you are using a double knot. If the laces are particularly smooth, consider replacing them with a more textured pair that offers better grip.
Discomfort in the arch area
The Fulcrum technology and midsole are designed to support the natural gait. If discomfort persists, consider if an aftermarket insole providing additional arch support is needed, ensuring it's compatible with the shoe's shape.
