FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Karhu Legacy 96 is generally known to fit true to size. If you are between sizes, consider your preference for a snug or roomier fit.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No. You should never put suede trainers in a washing machine, as the water and agitation will permanently ruin the texture and shape of the suede.
What kind of socks work best with these?
Medium-thickness cotton or athletic socks are ideal, as they provide enough padding for the Air Cushion system to work effectively.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the insole is typically removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if necessary.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These are primarily designed as lifestyle and casual walking trainers rather than performance running shoes.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks matted or flat
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material by brushing in a single direction.
Visible scuff marks on the suede
Gently rub the affected area with a suede eraser; avoid using water or soap which can cause water staining.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Karhu Legacy 96 trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Protection: Treat the suede with a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede before first use.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. For stubborn marks, employ a professional suede eraser, taking care not to rub too vigorously.
- Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading of the suede pigments.
- Moisture Prevention: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally. Never use heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as these can shrink or damage the suede material.
