STICKABUSH Fit Guide: Karhu Fusion XC

Due to its weather-resistant construction and dense interior padding, the Karhu Fusion XC has a structured, firm build. As a result, this silhouette runs significantly smaller than standard sneakers from Nike or adidas. Please keep these sizing guidelines in mind:

• Fit: Snug, structured fit with strong heel lockdown and a protective collar profile.
• Sizing Recommendation: We strongly advise going one full size up (1 Full Size Up) from your standard shoe size (e.g., EU 44 instead of EU 43).
