Stability. Karhu's 2011 Stable features an updated upper providing superior support and durability and is designed for the training runner who seeks strong stability with just the right amount of cushioning.

An ideal training shoe choice for the mid to heavyweight or less efficient runner who seeks a moderate to strong, stable, cushioned and responsive ride.

Upper: One piece air mesh vamp with molded and welded overlays is lightweight, breathable and supportive. The lacing system is anchored into the lasting board to lock down the midfoot for a secure fit with no slippage. Synthetic leather toe tip and mudguard is lightweight for toe off durability and protection. 360 degrees of reflectivity for increased safety.

Midsole: Precision engineered three part compression molded EVA with tuned durometers provide a responsive ride that promotes the natural ability of the foot creating a natural center of pressure for the moderately pronating foot. The asymmetrically designed Fulcrum is firm with a durometer of 70. EVA around the fulcrum has a durometer of 57. A key hole cut-out with a Hytrel moderator plate reduces weight while providing superior torsional stability for the less efficient runner. An injection molded shank provides increased arch support. Low density EVA forefoot insert has an hourglass shape providing anatomically correct forefoot cushioning during the propulsion phase. A removable high performance polyurethane Ortholite sockliner is resilient and provides excellent moisture management and durable cushion with a great step in feel. Fulcrum design and medial sidewall cupping stabilizes the foot during forward propulsion. Fulcrum Technology turns energy and pressure into forward momentum. Through the three phases of the gait cycle, the Fulcrum is designed to convert energy and pressure into forward momentum by transitioning the foot from heel to toe quickly and efficiently while the body stays balanced throughout the stride. Fulcrum reduces wasted vertical forces, speeding up the time the heel is on the ground. It provides a natural ride throughout the gait cycle promoting the foot's natural abilities. The foot follows the path of least resistance so large shifts of pressure to the outer and inner edges do not occur. During heel strike, the platform, extending back from the Fulcrum points, absorbs the force of heel strike loading the Fulcrum with energy. During the gait cycle, the center of pressure is balanced as it travels from the landing platform through the Fulcrum points, creating a natural path for the foot. The asymmetrical Fulcrum points allow for balanced heel strike and create the transition from the braking phase to the propulsion phase. Lightweight, low profile Fulcrum has been engineered for maximum momentum. California slip lasted for stability and comfort. The upper is stitched around an EVA board and directly attached to the midsole.

Outsole: High abrasion compression molded rubber M-Lug outsole with anatomic flex grooves for performance traction and piston cushioning.

Available in width D (Medium).

  • About Karhu
Karhu running shoes are made by a Finnish sports company and tests its shoes on the top Finnish runners. Each Karhu running shoe is built around the concept of natural momentum. This is achieved with patented Fulcrum Technology, which allows the foot to transition through its natural movements. Karhu's are naturally centered, which makes them more balanced while reducing wasteful vertical motions. Within the family of Karhu running shoes, there are four types of Karhu Fulcrum technologies: Karhu Fast, Karhu Fluid, Karhu Forward and Karhu Racer.
