FAQs

Are the Karhu Legacy 96 suitable for running?

While the Legacy 96 offers good cushioning and support, they are primarily designed as everyday trainers for casual wear and light athletic activities. For high-performance running, dedicated running shoes are recommended.

How do I determine my UK size?

Refer to standard UK adult foot sizing charts. The product information specifies UK sizes for adult male footwear. It's advisable to measure your foot length and compare it with the brand's sizing guide if available.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. The suede and mesh materials can be damaged by the washing machine's agitation and heat. Spot cleaning and gentle hand washing of specific areas are the preferred methods.

What is the primary material used for the upper?

The upper is constructed from a combination of premium suede and soft, shiny mesh for a blend of style and breathability.

Do these trainers offer good arch support?

The Legacy 96 features an Air Cushion heel and a cushioned footbed designed to provide support and comfort during everyday wear. The EVA midsole also contributes to overall support.

How do I care for the suede parts of the shoe?

Gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner sparingly and test on a small area first. Avoid excessive water contact with the suede.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring not to overtighten. If the issue persists, consider wearing thinner socks or exploring if a half-size larger is available.

Squeaking noise during walking

This can sometimes occur due to new materials rubbing together. Try walking on different surfaces to see if the noise diminishes. Ensure insoles are properly seated.

Discoloration on suede

For light scuffs, try a suede eraser. For more significant discoloration, use a dedicated suede cleaner following product instructions carefully. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Reduced cushioning over time

The Air Cushion heel and EVA midsole are designed for long-term comfort, but performance may slightly decrease with extensive use. Ensure the insoles are clean and properly positioned.

Care:
