FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?
The Karhu Legacy 96 are primarily designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. While they offer good support for walking and light activity, they are not intended for high-impact sports or specialized athletic training.
How do I clean the white suede material?
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a suede eraser is recommended. For tougher marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used sparingly, followed by brushing once dry. Always allow suede to air dry away from heat.
What is the best way to protect the suede from water damage?
Applying a quality suede protector spray before the first wear and reapplying every few months will provide the best defense against water and stains. Ensure the product is suitable for suede.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended for suede trainers as it can damage the material, affect the shape, and degrade the adhesives.
What size should I order if I'm between sizes?
Karhu trainers often fit true to size. However, if you are between sizes or have wider feet, it may be advisable to consider sizing up for a more comfortable fit, especially with socks.
How long does the suede protector typically last?
The effectiveness of a suede protector can vary based on the product and environmental exposure. Reapplication is generally recommended every 2-3 months with regular wear, or after cleaning.
Are these trainers heavy?
The Karhu Legacy 96 trainers are designed to be reasonably lightweight for everyday comfort, balancing their durable construction with wearability.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a suede brush to gently lift dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth, ensuring to test on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to dry completely and brush again.
Trainers feel too tight
Wear with thin socks initially. If still uncomfortable, consider using a shoe stretcher or breaking them in with short periods of wear.
Laces fraying
Replace laces with standard trainer laces. Ensure the replacement laces are of a similar material and length.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the sole is clean. For persistent issues, consider consulting a cobbler about alternative sole treatments or replacements.
