FAQs
Are the Karhu Legacy 96 suitable for running?
While the Legacy 96 offers good cushioning, they are primarily designed as comfortable everyday trainers and not for high-performance running. For dedicated running, a specialized running shoe is recommended.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the Karhu sizing chart and measure your foot length. Consider that the Legacy 96 is designed for a comfortable fit, so if you are between sizes, you might consider the larger size for more room, or the smaller size for a snugger fit, depending on personal preference.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The suede material is not waterproof. While the mesh offers some breathability, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended. It's best to protect them from excessive moisture.
What is the 'Air Cushion' technology?
Air Cushion is an internal technology integrated into the midsole and footbed of the shoe, designed to provide enhanced shock absorption and support for greater comfort during wear.
How often should I clean my Legacy 96 trainers?
Regular spot cleaning after use and a more thorough clean every few weeks, depending on wear frequency and conditions, is advisable. Always allow them to air dry completely.
What is the warranty period for these trainers?
Please refer to the retailer or Karhu's official website for specific warranty information, as it can vary by region and purchase date.
Troubleshooting
Tingling or discomfort in the heel.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The Air Cushion technology is designed for support; if discomfort persists, consider an insole insert or consult a footwear specialist.
Suede material appears dry or stiff.
Apply a suede conditioner or protector spray specifically designed for footwear to restore suppleness and protect the material.
Poor grip on wet surfaces.
The outsole provides good traction on dry surfaces. For wet conditions, exercise caution as with any trainer. Avoid very slippery or uneven wet terrain.
Mesh appears to be losing its shape.
Avoid machine washing or excessive soaking. Gently spot clean and allow to air dry. Ensure proper storage to maintain shape.
