• Features the enhanced full length Karhu Fulcrum chassis for maximum impact protection and forward guidance.
• Designed with a traditional lacing system integrated into the synthetic panels for a secure lock across the midfoot.
• Utilises a deeply padded tongue and mesh lined collar to ensure all day wearability without friction.
• Finished with a high abrasion rubber outsole featuring an updated tread pattern for dependable urban traction.

Ideal For

• Daily urban commuting and long distance city walking where underfoot shock absorption is crucial.
• Sportswear inspired wardrobes requiring highly technical, cushioned, and durable footwear.
• Those seeking a bold, structural heritage aesthetic backed by authentic performance engineering.

Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• The Super Fulcrum features a structured, technical profile with a padded interior that can feel slightly snug initially.
• Karhu recommend choosing half a size up from your regular shoe size to achieve the best fit and allow comfortable toe movement.
• The robust lacing configuration allows you to evenly distribute pressure across the top of the foot to customise your preferred level of tightness.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Remove the insoles and laces before cleaning to access all areas of the shoe easily.
• Brush away dry dirt from the technical mesh and synthetic sections using a soft bristled footwear brush.
• Spot clean using a dedicated sneaker cleaner or mild soapy water, wiping down the synthetic panels with a damp cloth.
• Do not place in a washing machine or tumble dryer; allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature.
• Keep the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators during the drying process to prevent midsole distortion.

Karhu Super Fulcrum Shoes - Our FAQs

1. Do Karhu Super Fulcrum shoes run true to size? They generally run slightly small due to the technical padding and structured chassis. Here at the store we recommend sizing up by half a size for the most comfortable fit.
2. What is the Super Fulcrum technology? It is an advanced version of Karhu’s signature midsole tech, utilising a full length structural unit engineered to disperse impact forces and seamlessly transition your weight forward.
3. Are these shoes waterproof? They are not waterproof. They feature open mesh panels designed to offer high levels of breathability and ventilation during warm weather or active use.
4. Can I use these for running? While they are built on a heritage running foundation with high spec cushioning, they are primarily optimised today as a premium lifestyle trainer for daily use.
5. Can I wash these trainers in the washing machine? No, machine washing can damage the technical mesh, weaken the internal glues, and warp the structural Fulcrum chassis. Hand cleaning is always recommended.
