Boots That Burn

(calories that is)

So, if you know me, even a bit — you know that THESE are my boots
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 flip flops

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.

Earth boots

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 :-)

The generous people at Earth Footwear and Mamavation have given one of my readers the opportunity to win the same pair of Acclaim boots that I received!!! That’s a $189 value!

  49. I like the acclaims… (’cause I like bad ass biker chick, duh)… but I gotta admit… I like the swanks too since they can be slouched as needed… oh! and the diva ones… well… because they’re called “diva”… and “go get mom’s diva boots” sounds a whole lot better than the current “go get mom’s whore boots”, don’t you think? :)

    P.S. Ellipses mean I love you…

    P.S.S.S I liked ‘em on facebook so that this comment wouldn’t totally ruin your entry count
