Win a Free Pair of Shoes or Boots from Naturalizer.com!

Enter this giveaway to win a gift card redeemable for one pair of Naturalizer brand shoes or boots on the Naturalizer.com website! Naturalizer has been making comfortable, stylish, affordable footwear since 1927, and I’ve been wearing them since I was in my twenties. My feet are small but wide, and Naturalizer is one of the few brands I’ve always been able to count on to have a style available for whatever situation I needed.

I was excited when an opportunity to do a review for Naturalizer came up in MyBlogSpark, and it meant getting a free pair of shoes! I learned through the media materials that the reason Naturalizer shoes are so comfortable is “N5 Comfort –five distinctive features that provide flexibility, lightness, balance, softness and breathability in every step—so Naturalizer shoes feel as good at the end of the day as they do at the beginning” – which is true!

Naturalizer offers a variety of styles including tall boots, loafers, wedges, pumps, platforms, flats, booties and oxfords. The Fall Collection from Naturalizer has something for everyone in a broad range of sizes and widths, from sizes 4.5 to 12 with narrow, medium and wide widths in most styles. Naturalizer boots are also offered in Wide Shaft so women with fuller or athletic calves can find tall boots with a perfect fit.

Here’s a behind the scenes look at the making of the Fall Naturalizer catalog, which you can also find on the NaturalizerShoe YouTube Channel:


REVIEW: Naturalizer gave me a choice of several different pairs of shoes from their Fall Collection. I chose a pair of casual dress loafers they call “June“. They have a leather and patent leather upper, a round toe with stitching, and a top strap with a geometric cutout, plus it has the NS Comfort elements in the cushioned insole. They are so comfortable! The top part is a little more orange than it looks on the website, but they look fine with jeans and should look really good with khakis (I just need to get a pair!).

WIN IT: Enter to win a gift card good for one free pair of shoes or boots from Naturalizer.com! Open to U.S. only, enter by 11/10/11 at 12:01 a.m. EST.

Polliwalks Review- Win a Pair of Polliwalks!

When Family Review Network announced that we would be doing a review of Polliwalks, I have to admit, I wasn’t sure what my daughter’s reaction would be to being asked to wear them. She hates her feet being hot and peels off her socks every chance she gets. Asking her to wear shoes lined with fake fur? I was sure that would be akin to torture.

I was wrong. Kaitlyn loves her Kitty Polliwalks so much, that she regularly asks if she can wear them at naptime, and when I say no, she asks to have them on her bed with her. As if they are a cuddly stuffed animal and not a pair of shoes! If you aren’t familiar with them, Polliwalks are more than just shoes, they are like toys for your child’s feet! But that doesn’t mean they sacrifice proper support for growing feet-each pair has arch support, a footbed shaped to support the foot, and a heel cup to help them stay on. And how fun is this- Polliwalks have Footprinting on the bottoms, meaning each time your child takes a step in water, dirt, mud, or sand, they leave behind an animal footprint!

The Polliwalks company is also aware of the impact that the manufacturing process can have on our planet, so they have taken the following steps:
# No Waste Manufacturing – all excess material created from molding process is recycled.
# Environmentally friendly packaging – tags and hooks made from recycled paper and plastic, minimal packaging used.
# Environmentally friendly water based adhesives used in manufacturing.
# Vegan- no animal products are used in manufacturing process.

This holiday season, you can purchase the original Polliwalks styles, AND two NEW styles that won’t be widely released until Spring but are available right now at Dillard’s and on Zappos.com. The original styles are shown in the image above, the new styles are FISH LIPS (a fish sandal whose squishy lips change color when exposed to UV rays of the sun) and FIREFLY (a clog in the form of a firefly that has a light in the back that lights up when in motion, like a firefly!). We got a pair of FIREFLY clogs in addition to the Kitty shoes for this review, and they are so adorable and fun!  If you look closely at the photo on the right here, you should be able to see the light on in the back of the shoe-I had her stamp her foot and snapped the photo real quick. Why she’s WET in this photo, I have no idea, but whaddya gonna do? lol
