Originally established as “Oy Urheilutarpeita” in 1916, the Helsinki-based sporting goods brand underwent a much-needed name change in 1920 to become Karhu, meaning “bear” in Finnish. With 100 years of experience making high-quality running shoes for the world’s most elite athletes and Olympians, each pair of Karhu shoes is made with performance and comfort in mind and is made to last for years.
