FAQs

Are the KARHU Legacy 96 trainers suitable for running marathons?

The Legacy 96 trainers are designed for comfort and style in everyday use and light activities. They are not engineered for the high-impact demands of marathon running, which typically requires specialized performance footwear.

How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner sparingly with a damp cloth, and always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from heat.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the trainers can handle light moisture, suede is susceptible to water damage. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. Applying a suede protector spray can offer some water resistance.

What does 'Legacy 96' refer to?

The '96' likely refers to a significant year in KARHU's history or the year of inspiration for this particular retro model, referencing its heritage design.

Is the sizing standard for UK adult sizes?

Yes, the trainers are offered in standard UK adult foot sizing. It is recommended to refer to a size chart if you are unsure of your exact fit.

What other colours are available for the Legacy 96 model?

The KARHU Legacy 96 model is available in various colourways, including different shades of grey, blue, white, and tan, depending on the specific release and retailer.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended for the KARHU Legacy 96 trainers, especially due to the suede material, as it can damage the shoe's structure and materials.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear with thin socks initially or consider using a shoe stretcher. Ensure you have selected the correct UK adult size.

Suede material looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow instructions carefully.

Laces are difficult to tie or keep tied

Ensure laces are not worn or frayed. Try a different lacing technique or replace them with new laces if necessary.

Sole feels less cushioned over time

This is normal wear. While the core cushioning is durable, it will naturally reduce with extensive use. For severe loss of cushioning, consider replacing the shoes.
