FAQs
Is the Karhu Fusion 2.0 true to size?
Most users find that the Karhu Fusion 2.0 fits true to size. If you are between sizes, it is generally recommended to size up for a more comfortable fit.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the glue, leather, and suede components. Always clean by hand using appropriate leather and suede care products.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While based on a 1996 running design, the Fusion 2.0 is primarily a lifestyle sneaker intended for daily walking and casual wear.
How do I care for the white leather parts?
Use a leather cleaner or a mild soap solution on a soft cloth to gently wipe the white leather surfaces, followed by a leather conditioner.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing for easy cleaning or the insertion of custom orthotic inserts.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede panels
Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft suede brush to gently lift dirt without damaging the nap.
Creasing in the leather toe box
This is normal for genuine leather; use shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the shape and minimize deep wrinkles.
Laces becoming frayed
The rope laces are designed for durability, but if they fray, replace them with standard sneaker laces of similar length.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Karhu Fusion 2.0 trainers remain in excellent condition, it is recommended to apply a protective water-repellent spray specifically designed for leather and suede before the first use. When cleaning, avoid submerging the shoes in water; instead, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry dirt from the suede and a damp cloth to wipe down the leather sections. Keep the shoes away from direct high-heat sources, such as radiators, as this can dry out and crack the leather. If the inner sole becomes damp, remove it and let it air dry in a well-ventilated room.
