    I was wondering if anyone with experience with the Karhu M2 can help me in buying a pair. I have no idea what size to buy. There are sites that say buy 1 size larger and others that say 1/2 size larger. But the thing is, that I am not the same size in all shoes. I know for spikes I wear a size 8 and running shoes are 8 - 8 1/2... So this means my M2 size is from 8 1/2 to 9 1/2???? That is a large range and I injured my foot badly from one race where the shoes were 1 size too large. These shoes can only be ordered, so I can't try a pair anywhere and I do not want to blow money on shoes that may not fit.

    I did the foot measurement at a shoe store and that said I was a mens 8. Please help.

    Thanks

    I went up a full size, 10 to 11, for Karhu. I might have been able to get away with a 10.5, but the store likely had none. I am certainly happier with the 11 than I would have been with a 10.

    Hello - I am the GM for Karhu and I would advise that you go up 1/2 a size from your normal running shoe. We are working to adjust the last for our 2009 line and look forward to making the brand easier to find at retail.

    All the best - Paul

    Hello Paul,

    Should I also buy a half size bigger on the original shoes.

    I wear an 8 1/2 but I understand that originals only come in full sizes so I ordered a 9 and not an 8.

    Do you think I made the correct choice in buying a 9 and not an 8.

    Thanks,

    Jorge
