FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Karhu Fusion 2.0 generally fits true to size for an adult UK 12, though we recommend wearing your preferred style of sock for the most accurate fit.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, you should never put suede trainers in the washing machine as the water and agitation will permanently damage the texture and color of the suede.
Are the reflective details functional?
Yes, the integrated reflective elements are designed to increase visibility in low-light conditions, providing an extra safety feature.
What is the best way to store these sneakers?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ideally with shoe trees inserted to preserve their structure.
Are these suitable for wet weather?
Because they feature suede, they are not waterproof. It is advisable to use a suede-safe water repellent spray before initial use if you live in a damp climate.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt or dry stains on the suede
Use a dry suede brush or a soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt in the direction of the nap.
Creasing on the toe box area
Use shoe trees when not wearing to help the shoe maintain its shape and minimize permanent crease depth.
Minor scuffs on the upper
Use a suede eraser to gently rub the scuffed area, followed by a light brushing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your Karhu Fusion 2.0 requires proper size selection and material maintenance. As these are UK size 12, ensure they are worn with mid-weight socks to achieve the optimal fit. To care for the suede uppers, it is essential to use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust after each wear. Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive moisture; if they become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the suede to stiffen or warp. For deep cleaning, use a dedicated suede cleaner or eraser rather than soap and water, which may stain the material.
