FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?

While the Legacy 96 offers good cushioning and support for everyday wear and light activities, they are not specifically designed as high-performance running shoes for marathon distances. For serious running, specialized running footwear is recommended.

How do I know if my size 9 is the correct fit?

A proper fit should allow about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the shoe should feel comfortable across the width of your foot.

Can I wear these trainers in wet conditions?

The rubber outsole provides good traction, making them suitable for damp conditions. However, the suede material is not waterproof and can be stained or damaged by excessive moisture. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles.

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.

How should I store these shoes when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. It's advisable to store them in a breathable bag or their original box.

Is the 'Brown' color true to the images?

Color representation can vary slightly due to screen settings and lighting. The 'Brown' variant typically features a rich, earthy tone complemented by the natural color of suede.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound from shoes

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and midsole. Try removing the insole, ensuring it's dry, and re-inserting it. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might also help.

Discomfort after prolonged wear

Ensure the laces are tied correctly for optimal fit and support. If the issue persists, consider if the shoe's fit is appropriate for your foot shape or if additional arch support inserts might be beneficial.

Mesh area feels stiff

The mesh is designed to be breathable and may take a short period of wear to fully conform to your foot. Gentle flexing of the shoe can help break it in.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. They are compatible with most casual and athletic wear. To care for your Karhu Legacy 96 trainers, it is recommended to:

  1. Clean Suede: Use a suede brush to remove dirt and debris. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be applied sparingly, followed by brushing.
  2. Clean Mesh: Gently wipe the mesh areas with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  3. Midsole and Outsole: Clean with a damp cloth.
  4. Laces: Remove laces and wash them separately by hand or in a garment bag in the washing machine.
  5. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.

Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can damage the materials and structure of the shoe.
