These Shoes Are Made for Walking… #Giveaway

By

NOTE: This Giveaway is open to Canadians only.

Normally, once the cooler weather sets in, I retire my walking shoes.

Not because I’m afraid of a little cold weather; or because I no longer see the value in keeping active. The truth is, winter = frigid temperatures and frigid temperatures = sweaters and sweaters = you can hide an extra 5 pounds. Walking shoes? Buh-bye!

Sigh, that was the case – until this year. If you read my last post, you’ll know that we’re off to sail the Caribbean next week, which of course includes stops… and day trips… and tons of walking. Hibernating in pullovers? Please. I’ll be decked out in the tourist special: tees, shorts, and – wait for it – walking shoes!

So you can call it perfect timing: Today, SHOP.CA announced that world-famous Mephisto shoes are now available for sale. Mephisto, supplied by Storage Stadium, are known as the finest walking shoes on earth. Their comfort, support and durability are recognized wherever people take walking seriously.

(Side note: Even though Mephisto shoes don’t travel in the same style circles as Tory Burch and Michael Kors, even I know that they’re the best walking shoes. Often called the “sexy orthodic”, they’ve been spotted on Maggie Gyllenhaal and Heidi Klum. Guess those beauties know revolutionary comfort when they see it!)

Hand made – one shoe at a time! – in the matchless European tradition since 1965, Mephisto has been in the forefront of innovation in walking shoe design and construction and is responsible for such revolutionary features as speed lacing and air-circulating insoles. What’s more, Mephisto sets itself apart by being a natural product, often using soft leather, latex, cork and rubber materials.

Enough talk – I’m sure you want to see which Mephisto shoes (supplied by Storage Stadium) I grabbed for my upcoming trip. Ta-da! It’s the Women’s Allrounder By Mephisto Naria!

Okay, so you may be thinking – that’s it? What’s so special about those shoes?

May I draw your attention to THIS:

  • Textile lining wicks away moisture and keeps the foot dry and warm
  • Two-way adjustible straps on the heel and foot, for the perfect fit
  • Heavy tread and synthetic sole provides a secure step and grip
  • Comfort, support and durability – everything about the shoe screams quality
  • Made of soft leather, latex, cork and rubber

And don’t forget to turn the shoes over. That’s where all the magic happens –

See that little round bump at the heel? It says “Active Shock Suspension” and it’s a whole lotta awesome. As soon as I put the shoes on, I can honestly say I experienced a new level of comfort. You know how sometimes you’ll buy a product and the phrase “worth every penny” comes to mind? Yeah, that. The shoes feel like they hug your feet, embracing every point and pivot. It took only 20 minutes to convert me to a walking shoe enthusiast – bring on the excursions! I’ve got a new spring in my step!

You can find the Women’s Allrounder plus some of Mephisto’s best-selling styles, supplied by Storage Stadium, at SHOP.CA. BONUS: They’re currently 45% off!

    Women’s Allrounder West Boot by Mephisto would be great for me to have. I work with kids and we play outdoors a lot. They are always warm but my feet are not so much.

    Women’s Allrounder Nova Walking Sneakers by Mephisto looks like it’ll be the best bet for me… lots of walking ahead and I have really crappy shoes that make my feet ache at present!

    I like the Women’s Allrounder West Boot by Mephisto however, they would probably be too wide for me as I take a AA. I could always give them to my sister.
