KARHU

I have had 2 foot surgeries this past year. Just started wearing shoes and walking without a boot. Made a trip to my local Fleet Feet and tried on several different shoes. The KARHU is by far the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. I ordered a second pair. I also wear orthotics in my shoes but not with the KARHU. I have worn Hoka’s, New Balance, etc. nothing compares to my new KARHU’S! Very pleased and comfortable!

Beware of sizing differences!

I purchased my first pair of these shoes from a local store, and I love them. I needed a second pair for work, so I ordered another pair online. When I put them on, they felt significantly smaller than the first pair I own- Which I purchased only a few months ago. I put them side by side and the black pair is significantly smaller than the green pair. Very frustrating because I now need to waste time and energy returning these black shoes when they really should fit the same as the green ones... and I'm post op foot surgery so every extra step is annoying.

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.
