FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Karhu Legacy 96 trainers are designed for everyday wear and light activity. They offer good cushioning but are not specialized running shoes and may lack the advanced support and cushioning required for intense running.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart, which typically correlates UK shoe sizes with foot length in centimeters or inches. It is also recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, particularly the suede and the internal cushioning.
What is the primary material used for the upper?
The upper is constructed from a combination of premium suede and softly threaded, shiny mesh for breathability.
How does the Air Cushion heel benefit the wearer?
The Air Cushion heel technology provides top-tier cushioning and support, absorbing impact and offering a comfortable feel during wear.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The trainers are not waterproof. While the suede and mesh offer some resistance, they are not designed to keep feet dry in wet conditions. A suede protector spray can offer some water repellency.
What kind of terrain are these best suited for?
These trainers are best suited for everyday urban environments, paved surfaces, and light, dry outdoor trails. They are not intended for rugged hiking or slippery conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight
Try wearing thinner socks or consider wearing the shoes for shorter periods initially to allow them to break in. If the issue persists, ensure you have selected the correct size or explore options for wider fitting shoes.
Suede material looks dirty or stained
Use a suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and a slightly damp cloth, following product instructions carefully. Always allow to air dry.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
While the Air Cushion heel is designed for durability, the cushioning may naturally decrease with extensive use. Ensure the footbed is clean and positioned correctly. For significant degradation, replacement may be considered.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides good traction, but all rubber soles have limitations on very wet or slick surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions. Ensure the outsole is free from debris that could affect grip.
