a running shoe question

i was wondering if anyone has ever heard of Karhu running shoes and if so
can anyone offer feedback on these shoes? i happen to notice them in the
latest issue of new england runner. they are a finnish shoe company and what
set them apart from the other running shoes is that these shoes are made in
finland instead of a 3rd world nation. any feed back would be appreciated.
thanks dave
