my old Karhu- mestari run

I bought mine in 2021 in Dallas TX. Since they were the best ones I had in my life...and I'm not young, 65. It was the best for my plantar feet. I bought Hoka ,Nike,and any different brands no one is like that one. I still have mine I'm using now....but it is time to buy another one.

This is my 2nd pair of these shoes this year. They are my walking shoes and all around daily go-to shoes. They are comfortable, and have great support. They are probably the best athletic shoes I’ve ever owned. My only request is to please add a fun color or two!
