Confident in cushioning

Mestaliran KH205003 is a running collection with maximum cushioning. It supports the runner's feet with authentic functions that only KARHU, which is active in the professional world from track and field to winter sports, can provide.

Run fast

Mestaliran is a sneaker with a rolling sole that adds a spring to the toe. A rolling sole is a shape in which the heel is curved like a cradle, so that just by wearing it, your foot moves forward one step.

In addition, the midsole is also equipped with KARHU's Fulcrum function. This technology uses the fulcrum of the lever to make walking smoother, and moves the center of gravity forward from the landing point. It reduces unnecessary movement up and down and left and right, and allows you to move forward without using force. This rolling sole and Fulcrum function make it a sneaker that gives you the strength to try your best when you want to run a little more.

The shoes use highly resilient aero foam, and each part of the midsole is layered to maximize cushioning. The midfoot is made of a knit mesh that stretches and expands to allow the toes to expand, reducing foot fatigue and stuffiness. The shoes are characterized by a comfortable fit that softly wraps around the feet.

In addition to this functionality, the Mestarilan KH205003 also features a unique design that incorporates a Nordic Finnish flair. The M mark, which is KARHU's icon, is drawn in lines, and the heel has an illustration of a bear, which comes from KARHU (Finnish for bear). The Mestarilan KH205003 is a typical KARHU shoe that combines style and functionality.

Innovative Footwear

The sports shoe brand "KARHU" was founded in 1916 in Helsinki, the capital of Finland. It started out as a small woodworking workshop that produced ski boards and javelin for athletics.

At that time, there were only shoes for competitions, and there were not many types of running shoes suitable for daily training, so athletes wanted shoes to use for warming up and cooling down, etc., but KARHU was one of the first to develop shoes that met that need. They released shoes with highly functional padding and arch support to protect the feet. At the 1952 Olympics, the Finnish national team performed well wearing KARHU shoes, and top athletes began to use KARHU shoes. In this way, they established their position as a leading manufacturer of athletic shoes and became a national brand, and now they have a wide range of products, from athletic shoes to sneakers for town use.

Boasting a history of over 100 years since its founding, KARHU utilizes functionality created using traditional techniques to develop innovative footwear every day, with the desire to allow people to experience the "joy of running."
