KARHU Ikoni 2.0
Features
The Karhu Ikoni is the do-it-all running shoe for you.
Neutral support and moderate cushioning make the Karhu Ikoni perfect for runs, walks, gym sessions and everything in between. Karhu’s lightweight AeroFoam offers support that works with the unique Ortix footbed to provide individualized cushioning that’s just right for you.
The Karhu Ikoni also features a half-length Fulcrum rocker in the midfoot to promote rolling transitions during walking or running. An updated upper made of a breathable knit mesh uses Karhu’s M-Lock lacing system so you can dial in the fit of your Ikoni’s around the midfoot without constricting your toes.

Favorite Daily Walking Shoe
I'm a pretty thrifty person but I don't skimp when it comes to sneakers- and these are worth every penny. In fact I've bought several pairs in multiple colors just so I always have a variety of my go-to daily walking shoe. Highly recommend!

Great running shoe
I really like this show for interval training and short runs. It’s very well cushioned but supportive. Always high marks to Karhu for the HiVo option which gives room in the tie box but isn’t too wide in the back. Already ordered a second pair in another color.

Cured my sore feet
My feet were aching.. I didn’t want to buy fancy shoes. I tried others.. and finally broke down and got these... I absolutely love these shoes. I will never be without this brand. I walk treadmill and jog on treadmill about 3 miles a day.. these saved my feet. I enjoy working out again.!
