CloseI'd say don't have a stamina meter, and have whether run/walk is default be a menu option, and the other is possible by holding down a button, RM style! :D
It means you can always walk the speed you want, and when you need the other speed it's possible!

If there are different movement speeds, they should serve a purpose. If they serve no mechanical function, why have them at all? The worst of all is when there's a sprint button but it consumes stamina (which is only used for determining whether or not you can sprint), and sprinting doesn't actually change the game at all except get you to your destination faster.
A good example of movement speeds done right is MGS and other stealth games. How fast you move determines how much noise you make, which increases the likelihood of your being found by an enemy. In MGSV in particular, it can be really tense when you're trying to carry someone to safety and you have to weigh whether or not moving quickly is worth the increased risk of being found and your target being hurt. But if you take too long, the enemy is likely to notice that the prisoner escaped...
If there's a choice of movement speed, it should come with affordances and the player needs to make a conscious choice how they're going to move.

Use the Wii Remote or other motion controls, one in each hand. Shake them up and down like feet. The faster you move your arms the faster you run. This is the only good way.
Second best option is that if you have stamina, hold button to run. Without stamina, hold button to walk.
