In our Karhu Mestari Run 1.5 review, wear-tester Travis said, “The fulcrum piece gave me good momentum and rolled along nicely with my stride. I also ran some pretty hilly routes in these and they still felt good!” Details: Upper: The updated IdealKnit mesh upper features a thin, elastic design that provides a stretchy yet secure fit. M-shaped overlays create targeted midfoot lockdown, while the spacious fit accommodates a variety of foot shapes. For runners needing additional space, Karhu also offers HiVo sizing. Midsole: Karhu’s signature AeroFoam midsole pairs firm cushioning with an amplified toe spring for a smooth and natural ride. Anchored by Fulcrum technology, the midsole acts as a lever to channel forward momentum, reducing strain and improving efficiency. Plus, a wide base and high sidewalls provide excellent stability. Outsole: A durable rubber outsole ensures dependable traction for road running, while the shoe’s rocker geometry keeps transitions fluid and easy, mile after mile.
