TECHNOLOGY
The KARHU Fulcrum technology is designed to keep all forces going forward, reducing braking forces and using your body's natural energy to create a smoother ride. It's what we call the Rolling Effect. Fulcrum Technology provides: Balanced Cushioning, Increased Support, More Energy. The Ikoni has a half-length fulcrum for flexible forefoot.
OrtixFit shapes your mid sole and upper volumes using data directly collected from over 4 Million runner's feet. What started in 2018 with the launch of the Karhu Ikoni the 1st model shaped by ORTIX, we now offer all our footwear models with our ORTIX Fit, based on actual scanning data in regular, HiVo (more volume) and Hera (women specific) Fit volumes. Karhu collaborates with Volumental(TM) and Fleet Feet(TM) create personalized fit experiences.
I tried the shoe on at fleet feet but they only had the dark colors available. I sized up by half a size because I’ll be using these for daily and long runs. I have a narrow flat foot with a skinny heel, so even after a month of wearing, I still can get the tightness right when lacing the shoes. Either go a little too tight and make my foot feel a little numb, or a little too loose and my heel is moving around (even with a runner knot). It’s probably just my situation. I like the overall feel of the shoe and it’s comfortable and feels like premium material used. I tried running on a dirty/gravel path I would usually run on, but the shoe made me feel too unstable as if I’m slipping around on the dirt. I also noticed that if I wear too thick of a sock with these shoes my foot slides around, but in other shoes I didn’t have that issue. I had to switch to thinner socks for these shoes

I own 5 pairs of this brand and I will say it's my most comfortable shoe. I'm still learning about the difference in trim levels and which trim is best for me. I highly recommend this brand.
