FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Karhu Legacy 96 Trainers are designed for everyday wear and light trail use, offering comfort and support. They are not specialized running shoes and may not provide the necessary cushioning or stability for intense running.
How do I clean the mesh parts of the trainers?
Gently wipe the mesh areas with a damp cloth. If needed, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush, then rinse carefully and allow to air dry.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash the Karhu Legacy 96 trainers. The materials, particularly the suede and cushioning, can be damaged by the washing machine cycle.
What is the Air Cushion heel technology?
The Air Cushion heel is Karhu's proprietary technology designed to provide superior shock absorption and comfort with every step, enhancing the overall wearing experience.
How durable is the suede material?
Suede is a durable material when properly cared for. It offers a premium look and feel but requires specific cleaning methods to maintain its texture and color.
Are these trainers good for walking long distances?
Yes, the combination of the Air Cushion heel, EVA midsole, and comfortable upper makes them well-suited for walking long distances during everyday activities.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Consider wearing them with thinner socks initially. Suede can stretch slightly with wear.
Suede showing water marks
Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap. Consider applying a suede protector spray for future prevention.
Loss of cushioning over time
While the Air Cushion heel is designed for longevity, extreme wear can reduce its effectiveness. For everyday use, the cushioning should remain adequate for several years.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides good grip, but performance on very wet or slippery surfaces may be limited. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. These are not specialized for extreme wet conditions.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Karhu Legacy 96 trainers:
- Cleaning Suede: For suede portions, use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, a slightly damp cloth or a suede cleaner may be used sparingly. Avoid saturating the material.

- Midsole and Outsole: Clean the EVA midsole and rubber outsole with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials and affect the shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or original box, to protect them from dust and sunlight.
