Footminders review

I'm an admitted shoe hoarder!  My biggest weakness, adorable heels!  Can you feel me on this one ladies?  My biggest issue is that heels are so uncomfortable, can you feel me on that one?  So, after watching my husband get amazing relief from his specially made orthopedics, I decided that maybe this was an answer for me.  Only issue is I can't afford to go and get a few hundred dollar orthopedics specially made, especially when its to relieve the pain from heels not caused by years of crushing my feet from power lifting like the hubby had.  Dilemma, hmmm, solution!

School means extra's of everything!

This post brought to you by Famous Footwear. All opinions are 100% mine.

 It’s back-to-school time and that means you need to get new clothes to last the year or at least until Christmas, school supplies, hair accessories, backpacks(get a back up in case it brakes) and new shoes! So, that means it's time to start looking for deals.  Quality and quantity are the key to a good deal if it's anything being used by an active kid!  Shoes, are the hardest for me, with feet that grow fast I have to get two of each style or they won't last to Christmas let alone the year.  So, I needed to find a deal that allowed me to save on double shoe purchases.  

OASAP High Street Fashion Review and Giveaway

I love clothes, purses, shoes, all of it, but when I became a mom my fashion choices narrowed, a lot.  My body had changed so nothing fit and I now needed to make more mom choices in what I wore than recently married and trying to impress the hubby choices.  I made the switch many of us do to sweats and work out clothes.  It's fine at first but eventually you get to feeling unattractive, so with the support of the hubby I have slowly been seeking cute mom-wear.  Luck for me, I'm a blogger and sometimes your answers come to you.  In my case it was in the form of OASAP.

A little bit about DAWGS

The DAWGS Brand footwear label quickly became a leader in the shoe industry's evolution towards new comfort. DAWGS Brand's mission has and continues to bring a Foot's Best Friend to more and more happy people every day.

They have flip flops, sandals, shoes, boots and more!

Here are just a few examples of what they sell. Even though it's now Spring I just love boots so had to show some of the other types of shoes at DAWGS. [caption id="attachment_2394" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Dawgs 15" Low Heel Zip Fashion Boots"][/caption]

Powered by Mom's Review

When choosing what color of Spirit shoe to get I went outside my norm and got the white and pink pair pictured instead of my usual black. The Spirit shoe comes in a variety of colors including several in black with various colored accents, white also with different accent colors, navy and tan ones as well. As you can see I went with white which I was a little concerned about because we all know how quickly white shoes get dirty. Well DAWGS does deliver on their promise that these spirit shoes are easy to clean and yes odour resistant too. When you wear shoes without socks which you can of course with the Spirit shoes you are of course taking that chance that they'll get kind of smelly. That has not happened with my Spirit shoes so far and hopefully won't but I've tested them pretty well by wearing them every day for several days inside the house at first and then I went outside and did some gardening in them. The shoes are quite comfortable and I like that they have an adjustable velcro strap as my feet are narrow. I ordered a size 6 as that's usually the largest size of shoe that I wear. The DAWGS just fit without socks and occasionally my toe feels like it's at the top but it's still comfortable. I'm not sure I could wear anything but a thin sock with them though if I wanted to wear socks. Most people probably wouldn't want to wear socks with them but I like to have the option so I would say if you're a bit concerned and wanted to ensure they fit you with socks on order the next size up as in my opinion they fit a wee bit on the small size. DAWGS also states that the Spirit shoes are/have:

• Extremely Comfortable, Ultrasoft & Lightweight
• Non-marking
• Massaging Foot Bed with Arch Support

From everything that I've seen and felt wearing these shoes I would agree with all of those points. Overall it's a nice lightweight, casual shoe that you don't have to worry about getting dirty especially if you get the white ones like me. Now mind you there's probably a limit to that but they survived my digging in the garden so they've done well. Powered by Mom gives the Spirit DAWGS shoes a two thumbs up.
