Karhu have just released the Mestari Run 1.5 and we are very excited! This plush and premium max cushion shoe for everyday miles and recovery runs has been one of our best sellers despite Karhu being a lesser known brand.

Experience Comfort in Motion with every step in Karhu’s max cushion, smooth and stable, everyday trainer. The Karhu Mestari Run 1.5 delivers a premium running experience through a higher stack height, more toe spring and an increase of AeroFoam cushioning. Combine that with Karhu’s signature rolling effect and enjoy the perfect blend of softness, support and energy return. A luxurious on-foot feel is created from the IdealKnit mesh that allows plenty of stretch in the toe box while securely hugging the midfoot.

Here are the specs:

• Shoe Type: Neutral
• Use: Everyday Running
• Stack Height: 33mm/25mm
• Drop: 8mm
• Weight: 275g (Womens) / 345g (Mens)
• Price: £150

Here’s a bit more about the tech:

• Anatomical lacing – provides custom-fit comfort
• Deep, half-length Fulcrum midsole – cradles the foot for guidance and smooth transitions
• Rolling ride – delivered through additional toe spring and a propulsion unit
• AeroFoam – experience more energy return and maximum cushioning
• IdealKnit mesh – stretchy construction allows more breathability and support
• M-lock lacing – secures the midfoot
• Stable Neutral ride – good sidewalls, a rocker geometry and stiff midfoot mean this trainer provides adequate stability for mild overpronators

Founded in Finland in 1916, Karhu has a rich heritage rooted in over a century of craftsmanship, innovation and a deep love for running. The brand is able to blend tradition and innovation through honouring its history while pushing the boundaries of design and technology. Karhu translates to “bear” in Finnish which symbolises the brand’s strength, resilience and enduring commitment to quality and performance.
