FAQs

Are these sneakers unisex?

Yes, the Legacy 96 is designed as a unisex model suitable for all adults.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the suede overlays and adhesive components. Stick to manual cleaning.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from a mix of suede, leather, mesh, and water-repellent ripstop nylon.

Is the Legacy 96 good for running?

While comfortable for walking, these are designed as lifestyle trainers rather than high-performance running shoes.

Does the shoe have reflective elements?

Yes, the design includes reflective details for better visibility.

Troubleshooting

Outer material showing water spots

Lightly blot with a dry cloth and allow to air dry away from direct heat sources.

Laces coming undone frequently

Ensure the flat laces are double-knotted or tightened evenly across the eyelets to maintain tension.

Loss of cushion comfort

Check if the factory insole has shifted; remove and re-seat it properly inside the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Karhu Legacy 96 trainers last, follow these guidelines:

  1. Break-in Period: Like most high-quality sneakers, allow for a short period of wear to let the materials mold to your foot shape.
  2. Care: Avoid machine washing. For suede components, use a dedicated suede brush to remove dried dirt. For ripstop and mesh, use a soft cloth with mild soap and cold water.
  3. Waterproofing: While the trainers feature water-repellent ripstop, applying a protective spray specifically designed for suede can help preserve the exterior against stains.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the colours from fading.
