Sizing Tips
Karhu Fusion 2.0 Fit and Sizing Guide
-
I usually wear a US12 in most athletic and leisure shoes and that’s what I like to wear in the Karhu Fusion 2.0. At this size, the Fusion 2.0 fits comfortably with no excessive length at the toe. Since I like to wear my shoes loosely laced, the US12 works perfectly. Another shoe with a similar fit profile is the Saucony Shadow 6000 which also fits comfortably roomy when buying true-to-size.
-
If you have narrow feet, you may want to stay with your standard shoe size. Although the width of the footbed is generous, the shoes are spot-on length-wise, and going down a half-size may make the sneaker too snug.
-
Those with wider feet will most likely want to go a true-to-size or a half-size up from your most common size depending on how snug or roomy you prefer. Even if you prefer a snug fit, I would say go true to size as the Fusion 2.0 has a fairly wide footbed that won’t be too constricting.
Wide-footers that are in-between sizes, may even want to go up a half-size just to be safe, but true-to-size would most likely still work if your desired size is not available.
-
If you prefer as snug fit or like to wear your shoes loosely laced, then you should definitely go with your higher shoe size.
For example, I’m wear 11.5/12 and to get a snug fit, I’d buy a 12. The 11.5 would be too snug.
-
If you prefer a roomy fit or like to wear your shoes tightly laced go up a half-size and especially if you have wide feet.
In a pinch, you could get away with your normal size, but only if that’s your only option.
