Comfort and Support!
Excellent heel counter, great arch support. I'm not a runner but an avid exerciser with a knee replacement and work in a hospital on my feet all day. Comfortable roomy toe box too. Zero complaints on this sneaker. First time buying this brand. After I purchased, my husband went and got a pair too!

Help my plantar fasciitis
LOVE these shoes. 2nd time I have purchased them. I tried another pair I was choosing between last time (Topos) since they are both known for their wide toe beds. I returned the Topos and re ordered the Karhu Mestari. Very happy with my purchase. Customer for life.

Great Cushion and Support
Glad I found this sneaker, I need cushion as I have terrible feet. Need to size up. 1/2 size as for me I needed a bit more toe room.

Karhu Mestari Run 2.0
These shoes are really comfortable. I have multiple foot issues and these are one of the few shoes that work for me. I had to size up two sizes on these.

KARHU Mestari 2.0
KARHU Mestari Run 2.0. I love this shoes! It has saved my back. I was experiencing knee pain, which, according to my chiropractor was actually my back being out. This shoe has changed my life. Good fit and high arch support. I bought a second pair!

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.
