See Manhattan on Your Feet: Men's Stable Ride by Karhu Highly Recommended by Whom You Know-The Fall 2010 Style Debuted in the U.S. Market Yesterday!!!

This is our inaugural coverage of Karhu for men and our men's testers couldn't be more pleased. We began with the illustrious Finnish brand with the women's stable ride:

Karhu began in Finland in 1916, and it is a brand that is relatively new to us although it is well-established around the world. At Whom You Know we are dedicated to bringing you the latest and greatest, and these hit the market yesterday we understand, and they deserve a place in your fall Manhattan closet. We are pleased with the quality of Karhu and will advise you to order your pair half a size bigger than you usually wear for optimal sizing.

Our stellar men's panel reviewed the Stable Ride, and they state:

Getting extreme in my Karhu Sneakers! Truthfully, I am not that into running. But as an athlete I know that running is a great way to stay in shape and provides great training and endurance for my other interests. As a alpine ski racer, I was always doing dry land training in the off season to stay in shape. Running was a major part of that. I wish I had been introduced to the Karhu brand of sneakers then although better late than never. These sneakers not only look extreme, they are extreme. It is like actual artisans made these sneakers. Made in Finland, they have constructed and perfected a sneaker that centers your gravity and really propels you forward, taking the stress off my knees. The forward momentum you feel is natural making running far less wearing on your feet and abrasive. These sneakers are really made for running. However, I wanted to test them out for other activities. I most recently went on four hour intermediate hike carrying my two and a half year old on my back in a pack. Most sneakers need to be broken in to feel great. But right off the bat these sneakers cushioned my foot perfectly. They gave great support to both my arch and my ankle and felt light but still substantial. This hike proved to me that these sneakers could more then hold their own as cross-trainers as well. I could not have been more pleased with the performance of these sneakers. Karhu has combined stellar performance with a sleek and sporty one-of-a-kind look. These are really quality sneakers, that are not mass produced, caring more about looks than anything else. So get yourself a pair and seek the speed and adventure you are looking for. These Karhus will exceed your expectations!

While other sneakers are focused on utility alone, these Karhu Stable Rides step it up a notch and are made well with individual style that will make sure you stand out from the crowd. Made well and designed with space in consideration for the foot that may tend to be a tad wider, so if your feet are a little wide these will fit like a glove on your foot! This is my first personal experience with Karhu and they really stand out against other brands; I have had a lot of positive commentary about this pair as they evoke a cool style not commonly found. They are really different and many people ask me what brand they are; they are truly like an accessory, a "showpiece" if you will. They are absolutely superb for walking around in and the quality of every aspect of the sneaker is outstanding. As an expert in the club scene professionally, I have worn these into clubs and have not been turned away by doorman; in fact, they might even scoot you to the front of the line since you have the coolest shoes around! Doormen at clubs of course evaluate your footwear prior to your entry. The black and green features, though understated, are great for autumn in Manhattan and will compliment your whole closet!

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
