Merrell CT Converge Women’s

I choose CT Converge Beluga/Purple.

My Fila Marathon shoes already served me well for the past two years. I decided it is time for them to retire. So I thought of buying a new pair of running shoes, and this time I want something that I can use for hard core running. Merrell is among the brand that I trusted when it comes to footwear for sports and adventure activities. I choose to buy their newest addition in their line-up of running shoes, the CT Converge Women’s.

The CT Converge is specifically designed to fit a woman’s unique mechanical feet movement. The special fabric regulates the moisture inside, so that feet can stay dry. Plus, it has an antimicrobial sock liner to zap smell-causing bacteria. These are very important considerations since Philippines is a tropical country. These pair are also made of recycled materials, so less use of energy, water and synthetic materials!

Here in the Philippines, it costs me Php 3,895 (81 USD). It is much cheaper here when I compare it to its price in US which is 105 USD! (1 USD=48 Php)

I logged on to Merrell’s website for CT Converge’s product specification, and I found these information:

The Merrell CT Converge neutral cushioning trainer. Designed for you neutral to mild pronators, providing exactly what you need to be runstoppable.

• A finely tuned ride. A finely tuned ride. Separately molded midsole components in precisely the right shape, location and materials provide you with extra rebound and cushioning when and where you need it. A midfoot torsional bridge keeps the foot correctly aligned.
• A temperature regulating compound in the footbed absorbs heat generated during running.
• Our special air mesh moves moisture away from the foot. This Merrell exclusive keeps your feet cool and dry.
• Recycled materials that use 50% less water and energy to produce, as well as synthetic fibers that eliminate harmful chemicals, means that you can keep on running with a clear conscience.
