Karhu Footwear Forward Fulcrum Ride Running Shoe - Men's - 2011 BCS

Item # KRH0017

Engineered to propel you forward with fewer ups and downs in your stride, the Karhu Forward Fulcrum Ride Running Shoe employs a three-part EVA midsole, a high-abrasion outsole, and a lightweight one-piece air-mesh upper for the kind of ventilation your foot craves on those grueling long-distance runs.

  • Unique Fulcrum sole profile reduces bounce in each transition and helps convert your body's energy into forward momentum
  • Three-part EVA midsole uses differentiating durometers(hardnesses)for surprising comfort and precision toe-off
  • Ortholite insole constructed with memory polyurethane stands up to repetitious abuse while maintaining breathability
  • Breathable air mesh upper vents your working foot so your sweat doesn't form blisters
  • Endo Internal skeleton lining provides a slip-free hold on your midfoot
  • Compression-molded and blown rubber make up the grippy outsole, which also includes flex zones so you stay in contact with the road through your strides
  • 360 degree reflectivity for safety in low-light conditions
  • HF welded toe guard protects against banging against rocks, sticks, and stumps
  • Ideally suited for runners with neutral pronation

Bottom Line:

Move forward faster.

So Far So Good

I've put about ten miles on these so far and I'm liking them a lot. They are a lot lighter and more minimalist than the Saucony's I have been running in. I think they will help strengthen my feet and the fulcrum design does seem to help propel me forward. Super breathable and they look pretty cool too.
