Soup or Stew: What’s the Difference?

What is the difference between soup and stew? If you ask comedian Taylor Tomlinson, “stew is just soup with something to say.” But is stew better? Is soup easier to make? Are they interchangeable?

A true runner’s brand, Brooks knows that outdoor running doesn’t take a holiday, even when temperatures drop—just ask the masses of people who sign up for Turkey Trots and Jingle Jogs (guilty!). As a runner myself, one thing I love about Brooks is how freakin’ hard it leans into the holidays with cheery, seasonal gear—and this season’s Run Merry Collection is no different.

The Brooks Run Merry collection, at a glance:

Run Merry Ghost 16, $140
Run Merry Ghost Crew Sock, $18
Spark Tight, $98
Dash 1/2 Zip 2.0, $70
Shield Lobster Glove, $55

Brooks does so much right, regardless of the season. For starters, the running brand makes reliable shoes for athletes of all levels (I’m currently running in the new Adrenaline GTS 24, possibly my favorite Brooks shoe to date). It’s also been a pioneer in the sustainability department by using recycled materials and reducing its carbon footprint.

But on top of functional footwear, the brand also makes warm active layers like running vests, headbands, and gloves. While the Ghost 16 shoe is the only piece in this year’s Run Merry collection that literally screams “HAPPY HOLIDAYS!”, Brooks has also pulled a few complimentary styles to mix and match while you’re dashing through the snow. Scroll on to pull together your new favorite run-fit, perfect for the festive season.

Brooks Run Merry Ghost 16 — $140.00

Sizes: 5-13

The festive color blocking! The ornament details! The cozy plaid collar! I love this jolly spin on the brand’s most popular road running shoe, the Ghost 16. It’s a plush yet supportive, neutral shoe that works for almost anyone, especially because it comes in several widths. Plus, it boasts the American Podiatric Medical Association seal of acceptance.

In previous years, the Brooks holiday shoes have been loud, which is kinda the point of this wintery launch. But I love the darker colors and pine bough print that make them a little more subdued (no really, this is subdued) so you can wear them into the grocery store without attracting too much attention (if that’s your thing—personally, I love attention).

Run Merry Ghost Crew Sock — $18.00

Sizes: S-XL

Just like the Ghost 16 shoe, the Ghost Crew Sock was designed with maximum cushion in mind. The knit arches offer added support, and the crew length is just right for cold-weather runs. Of course, what really makes this sock a winner is the fun festive design. Whether you pair them with your running shoes or basic white sneaks, the little pop of candy canes and snowflakes is sure to spread some holiday cheer.
