A must-have for those who appreciate a blend of retro style and contemporary comfort, the Mestari 76 is a timeless addition to any sneakers collection.
I signed up for text notifications thru UPS who Karhu uses for delivery. I did not receive a text from UPS on day of delivery. The shoes were placed in common area of my building and stolen shortly after delivery. But they do look like they would have been nice shoes to wear.

How would you describe the fit?:
Too small
Too big
Size purchased:7
Usual size worn:7
Finally replaced my Championair sneaker for Mestari 76 Aqua Gray/ Wax Yellow
As you can see my championair got quite the use out of them as seen on the shoe on the right. I have taken them on all my trips and are always so comfortable and keep me going. Proud to say they have taken me through Albania and Mexico and all the day trips in between. The Mestari's have the same fit and fit true to size for me. My foot is narrow and stayed with my regular sizing of 7 despite the reviews to go 1/2 size bigger. Glad I did.

Nice shoe with a few caveats.
I do like these shoes, but I would not size up again. They feel unisex and I am a woman so they are a bit roomy and I have tripped a few times. Otherwise, they look and feel really good.
