A Finnish shoe brand with a history of almost 100 years.KARHUÂ In 1916, the company started as a woodworking workshop in Helsinki, the capital of Finland, and has made a name for itself around the world, even if it is not as well known in Japan. In particular, it is highly regarded by athletes.
In the 1960s, there were spikes for training and competition, but there were no warm-up or cool-down shoes for track and field athletes. KARUF was quick to develop the "Trampas," a shoe that satisfied these needs.
By incorporating many new technologies, such as soft padding and arch support to protect the foot, the Trampas quickly became a favorite shoe of Finnish Olympic athletes. Since then, as many as 20 American universities have adopted the Trampas, including the University of Oregon, BYU, and the University of Minnesota.

And now, the Trampas has been transformed into a lifestyle shoe and is being reissued.
TRAMPAS ¥14,000+TAX
As with the original design, there will be two versions: an athletic type with the initials "Mestari," meaning "champion" in Finnish, on the side, and a casual version without the logo. The material used is mainly suede, with the sole color matching the upper coloring for an overall retro impression. Leather is used for the lining.
The comfort goes without saying. However, they are only lifestyle shoes, not for running.
The rustic look is very pleasing. To purchase, visit KARUF stores and the official website. The product is now on sale to rave reviews.
