(calories that is)
So, if you know me, even a bit — you know that THESE are my boots
They’re comfortable, super seriously comfortable and they’re cute.
You also know that if I’m not wearing those boots, I’m wearing these (or the brown ones)
My feet must be comfortable and cute is a nice bonus.
I remember meeting Leah at Blissdom last year and three things about her really stood out, her personality, her smile and her hawt. red. boots.
Leah praised these boots, raved about them and their special incline that puts the toes above the heels thus causing you to burn more calories and tone your muscles while you wear them.
You better believe she had my attention. Muscle toning shoes that don’t make you look as if you’re walking on bubbles — yes, please.
When Leah asked me later, if I would like to review a pair and give a pair away, it was an easy yes.
When the box with my boots arrived last week, I must admit, it wasn’t love at first sight.
Remember my boots and flip flops from above — I like cute and girly
These were a bit more bad-ass motorcycle chick looking.
They are nothing I would have ever picked out for myself, however — I kinda dug feeling like a kick-butt chick with them on.
Nathan gave them two thumbs up.
I put them on and wore them around the house while cleaning (we have hard floors — if I’m not wearing shoes in the house at all times, my feet hurt).
After about 5 minutes, my legs felt weird — yep, there’s that incline thing working.
Saturday was cold and drizzly and I had to coach two soccer games. Usually, after 5 minutes on the soccer fields my toes are soaking wet and freezing and my feet are miserable.
I decided to put my new Earth Boots on and I wore them – from 7:45 AM to 1:00 PM– my feet stayed dry, the soft inner lining kept my calves warm and I had no problem keeping up with my team of 6, 7 and 8 year old kids. The boots flexed and moved really easily with me.
I’ve only worn them a few times but, I can tell you this: I can feel it when I wear them and I’m walking a lot, they look really good with my jeans and I totally feel kick butt when I wear them

I love the Urban and the Acclaim boots. How exciting! What a cool giveaway! I LOVE boots. I always feel like I can take on the world and kick serious butt when I wear my cowboy boots.

I’m a big fan of Earth shoes, and would really love to win some boots!
I love both the Acclaim and the Hype boots.

I actually really love the Acclaim boots. They remind me of a pair of J.Crew boots I had years ago that I loved. I “outgrew” them after having kids.
I like the hype

Oh yeah, I forgot the links. Sigh. Being blond has it’s drawbacks:
FB: AndreAnna McLean: Came from A Southern Fairytale cause that chick CAN cook and if she says her feet are comfy in your shoes, than I believe her!

I’ll admit I’m not usually a big boots person. But those acclaims DO look pretty B.A. I like that they have vegan options, too, even though I’m not vegan.

(P.S. the fact that they have these boots in my size alone – an 11 – makes me covet them even more for catering to us Yeti-eqsue folk!)
AndreAnna´s most recent brilliance ..Snails
I like the invent & diva boots. Really cute!
I love the Diva boots, cute and fluffy. LOL
I am with AndreAnna on the size thing. I wear an 11 as well and when I see boots somewhere in my size I will pay full price.

I love the swank boots. I am currently in the middle of my year without pants and good boots are hard to find and also things are tight and so I am trying to spend as little as possible but I think these are going on my wish list for christmas. They are cute and would look good with skirts. (as would the pair that you are giving away)
good luck to everyone!!

Love the Lodge 2, and the acclaim boots.

great giveaway!!
Carrie K´s most recent brilliance ..Baby Steps
I liked the Swank boots they look comfortable to me.
I liked Earth Footwear on Facebook and told them on their wall that A Southern Fairytale sent me.
I like the Acclaim the best! Or the Hype. Tough choice.
I came via Amanda Magee’s tweet! It’s working.
I dig a lot of the boots so I called over my nine-year-old fashionista and she told me Acclaim. For definitely reals.
Oh girl, so awesome. I also LOVE the Swank. So, um, swanky.
