FAQs

Are the Karhu Legacy 96 trainers true to size?

Yes, they generally fit according to standard UK sizing, though individual foot shape may vary.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the suede overlays and affect the structural integrity of the shoe.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While they provide great comfort and support, they are primarily lifestyle sneakers and not intended for professional running.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from a combination of premium suede overlays and breathable mesh.

How do I maintain the Air Cushion technology?

The air cushion is enclosed within the midsole and does not require specific maintenance other than keeping the shoe clean.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks matted or worn

Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material.

Midsole shows surface scuffs

Use a damp cloth with mild soap to gently clean the EVA midsole material.

Laces coming loose frequently

Ensure they are laced tightly or consider using a double knot if the lace material is particularly smooth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Karhu Legacy 96 trainers remain in top condition, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Protective Spray: Apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede before the first use.
  2. Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede eraser or a light application of suede-safe cleaner.
  3. Moisture Control: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper or a shoe tree and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the suede to stiffen.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent material degradation and color fading.
