See Manhattan On Your Feet: Karhu Women's Stable Ride Available August 15th!

If you want to get to the finish, we suggest you consider Finnish!  And that means Karhu, Finland's legendary running brand.  Before Peachy Deegan knew Karhu, she did know of Finland for its hockey players including Risto Siltanen, star defenseman.  Now she knows they are a comfortable fit for see Manhattan on your feet.  Presenting a much trendier look than we are normally after, the Karhu will give you a downtown look for the days when you are feeling like you want to head in that direction!  They are quite European looking, of course.  We think the red look great with a pair of dark blue jeans when you want to sport a casual look, and these are the kind of shoes that you can walk for miles in.  If you like the Boston Bruins, you will like the black with the golden accents, and Karhu calls these Deep Black and Apple Green.  However as she associates Finland with great hockey due to Risto, Risto played for the Hartford Whalers and in the battle of New England, we were Hartford all the way.


We strongly suggest you order half a size bigger than you normally wear.  Peachy is usually a 7 or 7.5 and the 8 Karhu Stable Ride are the right size for her.  The padding is superior and she likes the cute little gray reflectors on the side and toe.  Amazing treads on the Stable Ride ensure its true stability in living up to its name!  Be aware you cannot buy these this very minute-the See Manhattan on Your Feet panel is living in the future now and these are available to the public on August 15!  Although Karhu means bear in Finnish, you will be as quick as a bunny!
