I've never heard of Karhu before. Is it a new brand? On the contrary, Karhu has been around since 1916 on the feet of some of Finland's most legendary runners. Karhu shoes have won Olympic medals and Boston Marathons and everything in between. Our fulcrum technology was created in 1987, and since then it has been tested and perfected at both the University of Jyväskylä in Finland and at Iowa State University in the US. What makes Karhu different from other running shoes? The Karhu difference is all about the fulcrum technology. Simply put, the fulcrum helps you move forward more efficiently. Independent research shows that runners bounce up and down half an inch less per step in Karhu than in other running shoes. Think of it like climbing stairs: runners climb fewer stories across every distance with the efficiency of Karhu Fulcrum Technology. How do you know the fulcrum works? Extensive independent testing has been done at both the University of Jyväskylä in Finland and Iowa State University in the US. All the test results have shown that Karhu shoes produce less vertical and horizontal oscillation-or "bounce"-and a better midfoot landing position than both traditional running shoes and barefoot running. I notice that the shoes feel a lot different from other shoes when I put them on. Does that mean they won't work for me? Not at all. What you're feeling is the fulcrum technology that helps position your body in a proper forward leaning position. When you start running, you will notice that the fulcrum technology helps you move forward more quickly through the gait cycle, and that's what's important.
