Technology & Feel: The Fulcrum Cushioning in Everyday Use
The core of the model is the patented Fulcrum technology: a stabilizing chassis in the midfoot guides the stride, reduces unnecessary deviations, and converts impact energy into forward momentum. The responsive midsole gently absorbs shocks, while the breathable mesh upper with synthetic overlays guarantees optimal support.
- Fulcrum Chassis: Guiding stability and efficient propulsion with every step.
- Responsive Cushioning: Offers all-day comfort without a squishy feel.
- Grip Outsole: T-shaped lugs for reliable traction on urban surfaces.
- Reflective Details: Subtle visibility in low light conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What does Fulcrum technology do in the Karhu Super Fulcrum?
The Fulcrum element in the midsole acts like a lever: it dampens impact, stabilizes foot roll, and transfers energy directly forward – for noticeably relieved joints when walking.
Can I buy the Karhu Super Fulcrum directly in the store in Berlin?
Yes! You can try on and buy the Karhu Super Fulcrum and other brand highlights directly in our store at Gräfestraße 84, 10967 Berlin (Kreuzberg / Gräfekiez).
How does the Karhu Super Fulcrum fit compared to other Karhu models?
It fits very similarly to the Fusion 2.0 (true to size to slightly compact). If you are between two sizes, choose half a size up if in doubt.
