Love this shoe
I am new to this shoe brand. Bought these after being disappointed by the various changes of the shoes I had previously been wearing for years. Went in to Fleetfeet and tried on several recommended brands, and these felt the best. They also came in black, which was a requirement for me as they are my daily shoe, as well as my walking shoes. I’ve worn them for about 3 weeks now, every day, and I have to say that they are awesome. I am on my feet for several hours, and walk long distances. I also have severe knee arthritis. These shoes are my new “go to” shoes. Find them cushiony and really comfortable. My feet feel great all day long.

Karhu Shoes
I have bought Karhu shoes the last 2 years and have enjoyed them. This year I could not get a black pair with white souls that I would loved to have had again. Please bring them back.

Stable show
My foot feels more stable in this shoe, and it is also comfortable to wear. It's a firm type of comfort that feels like it will hold up longer than the shoes I was wearing.

Shoes for work
This place is amazing! I went in for the usual Brooks, Hoka or On cloud and after trying them on nothing compared to Karhu!! They were so patient and kind!! I definitely recommend!
