FAQs
What makes the Fusion 2.0 a revival model?
The Fusion 2.0 is a modern reimagining of Karhu's iconic 'Fusion' running shoe from 1996, collaborating with the original designer to update its silhouette for today's market.
What materials are used in the Karhu Fusion 2.0?
These trainers feature a mix of suede and leather overlays, hairy suede underlays, breathable mesh, rope laces, and a speckled EVA midsole.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While inspired by running shoes, the Fusion 2.0 is primarily designed for casual wear and offers comfort for walking. For serious athletic performance, specialized running shoes are recommended.
How should I clean the suede parts?
Use a suede brush for dry dirt and a specialized suede cleaner for stains. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first and allow the shoes to air dry.
Do the reflective details offer significant visibility?
The reflective details are designed to enhance visibility in low-light conditions when hit by a light source, adding a subtle safety feature.
What is the purpose of the pull tab?
The pull tab located at the heel is a functional detail designed to assist in easily pulling the trainers on and off.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, especially the suede and leather, and affect the shoe's structure.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions.
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Consider using thinner socks or allowing a short break-in period. If still uncomfortable, check alternative sizing or models.
Reflective details are not very noticeable
The reflective details are designed to be subtle in daylight and appear under direct light sources in low-light conditions. Test by shining a flashlight on them.
