See Manhattan On Your Feet: We Kick Off Our Coverage of Merrell with the Women's CT STAMINA 2, Highly Recommended by Whom You Know!
Sometimes when Peachy Deegan tests a new sneaker, she is a bit tentative the first time, only wearing them to the nearby CVS or the Park to make sure she likes them before she wears them for 5 miles. At this stage, when she gets a blister or a mark from bad shoes (that you won't know about because we only write about what we like), it becomes incapacitating to this whole column! However, with the Merrell CT STAMINA 2, Peachy went all out going about 5 miles the first time. These are fabulously comfortable and she's impressed with her first Merrell experience. Trained as a banker, when Peachy hears Merrell she thinks Lynch, but now she is going to think speed, smart engineering, and comfort in Seeing Manhattan on Your Feet when she hears Merrell. Made in Vermont, which is a state Peachy associates with outlet shopping at Ralph Lauren in Manchester, Merrell is an outdoorsy brand, but there are even outdoorsy moments in Manhattan. We agree that the journey is so important, and you'll enjoy your journey in these for sure! (Although we won't say we are not also obsessed with the destination...!)
The CT Stamina 2 running shoe provides lightweight stability for the mild to moderately over-pronating runner, incorporating comfort and eco-friendly features into a high-tech platform of support and stability that feel good from the first mile to the last. A lighter, more flexible mesh upper manages moisture and creates an unparalleled fit. They boast the shield that fights any kind of unwanted guest (resists mold, mildew resistant, controls fungus) growing in your sneakers: http://aegismicrobeshield.com/ which we hadn't heard of before but think it's a great idea. Peachy finds these to be pretty spacious and although she doesn't have wide feet, she thinks that if you do these may be a good style for you. The design is smart and sharp, and we look for that just as much as high functionality; this IS Manhattan, style capital of the world, and Peachy cannot disappoint people when they see her if she is wearing ugly shoes. Whether you are walking or running, the CT Stamina 2 by Merrell will be a good option for you! The citrus accents make these sneakers extra summery, and they are lightweight.
