We want to see where you travel with SKECHERS! Simply post photos to Instagram of your SKECHERS on vacation, using the hashtag #ShoecationSweepsCanada.

SKECHERS: The Official Shoes of Summer 2015

May 3, 2015 By Lena

Note: The following giveaway is open to Canadians only.

Okay, okay – I’m not sure if I can declare SKECHERS as the “official” shoes of summer (are there legalities around that??) – but I am absolutely certain that ’round here, SKECHERS are the top choice.

So, maybe we’ll call them the Official Shoes of Lena’s Family. (Not the same ring to it, I know.)

Here’s the thing. Y’all are always asking me what I’m wearing, what I’m buying, what I love, and what I lust after. And I’m always eager to share! So of course I want to tell you about my family’s favourite kicks this year.

(For those who aren’t hip to street lingo like I obviously am, “kicks” mean sneakers. I know this because I Googled it. Three minutes ago.)

It’s rather simple; we’ve all found an amazingly comfortable, totally stylish and incredibly affordable pair of shoes, and they all happen to be SKECHERS. From Memory Foam to Power Switch to Game Kicks, they’ve got us covered.
DSC_0797First things first – yes, our shoes are dusty, scuffed and less-than-perfect. And that’s because when I say they’re our favourite shoes, and we wear them every day…. they actually are! This is NOT a vanity review; we’re not putting the shoes on just to show them off, and then throwing them to the back of the closet. Nope! They’re actually always on our feet! …

Relaxed Kicks: SKECHERS Relaxed Fit #Giveaway

September 2, 2013 By Lena

*Note: The following giveaway is open to Canadians only.*

This one’s for the boys. Not only do I have a super-cool SKECHERS Men’s Relaxed Fit giveaway coming up… but this post also marks my husband’s debut as a blog model. (Back off Ford Models, he’s in a contract to only appear on Listen to Lena. Hahaha!)

All kidding aside, I really do need to thank my husband for being such a good sport. You see, earlier this summer, we received SKECHERS Relaxed Fit: Diamondback – Leroy shoes in Olive, Navy and Natural for review. The shoes feature a soft faded canvas fabric and suede uppers, in a lace-up casual boat-style with stitching and overlay accents.

They instantly became my husband’s favourite shoes for just about all casual activities. And, since he had a choice of three different colours to complement his summer wardrobe, he always looked fabulous :)

But what makes a shoe “relaxed”? SKECHERS Relaxed Fit shoes have a roomy comfort fit that is more forgiving for men with wide feet or a flattened arch. They feature a Memory Foam-topped cushioned insole and shock absorbing midsole for increased comfort, especially for all-day wear. The Leroy shoe boasts a vulcanized rubber midsole with contrast stripe, in addition to a flexible rubber traction outsole with a diamond pattern design.

Says my husband: “I really like that they look great with jeans or shorts; with socks or without. They’ve got that ‘sailboat shoe look’ with the laced side accents and metal eyelets, which is both trendy and classic at the same time. The navy is more of a black-blue so it’s just the right shade to wear with khakis or denim, and they’re artfully faded for a worn-in look. Overall they’ve become my go-to shoe for warm weather.”

(Er… did I mention my husband is a metrosexual?)

Of course, talk is cheap – here he is modelling his favourite summer kicks:

He insisted on posing with his BBQ. After all, he may be a metrosexual, but he’s still a man….

SKECHERS, You Saved Me Again.

June 11, 2012 By Lena

There are some things in life that don’t mix well.

Britney Spears and singing live.
Mexico and drinking water.
Hats and sunglasses (seriously, choose one. Otherwise you’re over-accessorizing.)

And, toddlers and special occasions.

Why must we be subjected to spending tons of money on swanky clothes, knowing that the little ones will grow out of them before the next wedding/anniversary/Communion/Bar Mitzvah/coronation ceremony rolls around?

It is, of course, a part of life. Ryder has attended three weddings in the past three years, and has required a new outfit each time. To tell the truth, the suits and shirt sets don’t bother me too much – Sears always comes through with an affordable, studly outfit – but it’s the shoes. When will my 4 year old wear shiny black tuxedo shoes again???

And so, when one of my then-engaged girlfriends asked Ryder to be a ring boy in her wedding ceremony, I was only too thrilled… and a little bit grumpy. Damn, another pair of $50 dress shoes down the drain.

Thankfully, my girlfriend is very practical: she allowed that as long as the shoes were dark, she didn’t mind if Ryder was decked out in sneakers. What? A pair of wedding shoes he could reuse? Hallelujah!!

So it’s only natural that when I began searching for dark, stylish shoes that Ryder would be comfortable wearing again and again, I thought of SKECHERS.

Think they’re only about fitness trainers? Think again.

SKECHERS has an amazing selection of Boy’s Casual Shoes; with sleek designs and SKECHERS’ savvy craftsmanship, it wasn’t difficult to settle on a style I loved: Quantum Vex in Black. And, since the folks at SKECHERS totally rock, they were happy to send a pair Ryder’s way….

See Snow; Think SKECHERS

January 22, 2012 By Lena

For most Canadians, snow hasn’t been a major concern this winter… yet. With measurements of the white stuff in record lows, I’ve been crossing my fingers that we can bypass this whole winter wonderland thing entirely. I know, wishful thinking.

A few months ago, anticipating that I’d eventually have to face the cold hard truth, I started shopping for Ryder’s new boots. The thing is, I didn’t really know where to begin. We had long been fans of flexible-soled footwear, but with his feet growing at an alarming rate (size 11 already! He’s only 3 years old!) Ryder was well out of toddler tootsies.

So I asked moms of school aged children – which boots should I buy for my little guy with big feet?

Surprisingly, a LOT of them responded with “SKECHERS”.

Really? When I think of SKECHERS, I think of the Shape-ups walking shoes that help my butt stay fabulous. I also think of seriously hot casual shoes, comfy semi-formal shoes, and super cute winter boots. For women. To tell you the truth, I didn’t even know that SKECHERS made boots for little boys.

Turns out I was living under a rock. And not just any rock, but the Rock of Gibraltar. Because apparently, not only does SKECHERS make boy’s boots, but they also happen to be an industry leader, and their entire line of boy’s footwear has quite the cult following. #oops

What makes them so special? Consider this:

Waterproof leather and synthetic upper
Textured leather with smooth and metallic synthetic overlays
Waterproof seam sealed design
Three strap front for easy adjustment
Adjustable hook and loop closures for easy access
Padded collar and padded gussetted tongue
Soft fabric boot lining with durable fabric front panel
Insulated with 200g Thinsulate(R) lightweight thermal material
Temperature rated to -10 degrees F/-20 degrees C
Shock absorbing midsole
Flexible rubber lug traction outsole

There’s more (seriously!). See the entire list of features here.

And so when we received the very cool Boys’ Wyndham – Bartel to check out, let’s just say we were both thrilled to bits. I loved them for – well, everything listed above – and Ryder, who has recently become very fashion conscious, loves his new look. Because we just recently had our first snowfall which actually stuck to the ground, the little guy had a chance to model them for me!…

Casual is the New… (SKECHERS)

September 15, 2011 By Lena

…well, technically, there’s nothing very stylish about “casual”. If your pants have an elastic waistband, your t-shirt hangs down to your knees and your shoes fasten with Velcro… congratulations, you are the mayor of Casualville. But is casual considered a “look”? Or is it simply the absence of style?

Whatever it is, it is me. Big surprise, I’m a stay at home mom. I’m not about to sport a bandage dress while taking on the glamorous vacuum, KWIM? And since pajama bottoms double as my “casual” day look three days out of seven, let’s just say I have come to embrace my inner fashion slob.

However, when attending BlogHer ’11 earlier this year, I had to put together a few key looks that would show the public I still knew a thing or two about le haute mode. Only tricky part: the conference dress code was “business casual.” There’s that word again. The c-word.

Clothes weren’t really too much of a problem; slip dresses, well-fitting jeans and a few sparkly tops did wonders to slide me past the fashion police, but I was obsessing slightly about shoes. EVERY veteran BlogHer attendee proclaimed “Don’t wear heels!” in their pre-conference posts, and I wasn’t about to sport sneakers with skirts. What’s a girl to do?

Thankfully SKECHERS swooped in and saved the day. I must admit, I was a little hesitant when they offered to outfit me in casual looks that would go from day to night. My experience with SKECHERS was limited to their oh-so-awesome Shape-ups, and I was curious to see what they could come up with – casual, comfy and stylish? Huh, we’ll see.

Well I’m pretty much eating crow. Just look at these on-trend, super cute shoes (click to enlarge):

My fave pair is the Women’s Jubilee – Front Row in Black (pictured above left); any time you bling out casual shoes with:

soft fabric shoe lining
cushioned insole
low profile shock absorbing midsole
flexible rubber traction outsole
AND
sequins (!!!)

Lena is interested. Very interested.

I’m so happy that SKECHERS has made me seen the light: causal CAN be chic!

Headlines

August 11, 2011 By Lena

Hey Fabulous Readers!

I’m back from a much-needed blogging break. SO much to tell!

My head is swimming with details and I simply don’t know where to begin, so forgive me if I list the awesomeness via Headlines:

BLOGHER ’11 ROCKED
I spent 5 days in sunny San Diego, enjoying my first (and certainly not last) blogging conference. For bloggers wondering what the conference is all about, and what to expect, I’ll let Google handle your inquiries – you’ll find many amazing posts on the subject, all from unique perspectives that really are a must-read. For my part, I’ll just say this: GO. Go once. Go every year. Go because you want to. Go because you should. Just GO.

FORD CANADA RULES
As you likely saw from a previous post, I was sponsored by Ford to attend the event. Ford put together a wonderful group of ladies – including Donna Antoniadis from ShesConnected, Erica Ehm of YummyMummyClub fame, Dee Brun the Cocktail Deeva – and superstar bloggers from across Canada that I had the esteemed pleasure of both meeting and tweeting. More posts about my experience at BlogHer to come.

VASANTI ON MY CHEEKS, SKECHERS ON MY FEET
I was also lucky to have my makeup for the event provided by Vasanti Cosmetics, and SKECHERS outfitted my shoes for the duration of the trip (four stylin’ pairs to be exact). Yup, awesomeness all around… and posts on those fabulous sponsors to come as well.

THE END OF THE GIVEAWAY GAME
I embarked on the conference with an open mind and put much thought into the direction of my blog. And after a lot of soul searching, I realized that my true strengths – and desires, for that matter – lie in posts that aren’t necessarily tied to reviews and/or giveaways. Don’t get me wrong: I LOVE giving back to my readers, and will likely review many more products in my time, but have decided to transition away from a “review” blog and get back to Listen to Lena! 101: shopping, family, recipes and fun. So after my final set of giveaways for the Summer Beauty & Fashion Guide, you’ll see more classic Lena posts; me just writing for the sheer pleasure of writing. To all my sweepstakes friends, thanks for stopping by! Hope y’all will stay for a good story or two.

SLEEP DERIVATION
With so much going on over the last few days, I need to turn in! Goodnight friends, back for more fun tomorrow!

Summer Fashion: SKECHERS Shape-ups

July 21, 2011 By Lena

Note: The following giveaway is open to Canadians only. 

Do you remember SKECHERS Week on Listen to Lena!, when I gave away 5 pairs of SKECHERS Shape-ups? Well, this wouldn’t be a Summer Fashion event unless I gave away 5 more, now would it? Woot!

Since most of my readers will be familiar with SKECHERS from my previous review, I”ll give y’all the Coles Notes version:

1. The goal with Shape Ups is to simulate walking on soft ground. SKECHERS has turned hard surfaces into comfortable ground through revolutionary technology (it’s science!) designed into the framework of the shoe. The core of this technology is in the dynamic rolling bottom, the soft foam insert under the heel and the dual-density midsole.

2. SKECHERS Shape-ups are not your typical orthodic sneaker. They are HOT as h*ll. Don’t believe me? Just check them out here.

3. Walking on softer, uneven surfaces forces you to engage muscles not normally used when walking on hard ground. Not only does this strengthen your muscles, but it also increases blood flow and reduces the impact on your joints and lower back.

4. Wearing SKECHERS Shape-ups will give you a body that is a cross between Kim Kardashian’s and Brooke Burke’s. Seriously, it’s science.

5. SKECHERS Shape-ups are the perfect supplement to your gym routine, or for any gals who may not have the time to exercise but want a proven, low-intensity method for toning and tightening up.

And now, here’s what you’ve been waiting for! Introducing the newest members to the Shape-ups family (click pictures to enlarge to view details):

Shape-ups LiV by SKECHERS, as worn by Brooke Burke and Kim Kardashian
– designed for walking and light running
– lightweight Resalyte midsole with sock-fit construction

Tone-ups RUN

Lena Loves… SKECHERS Shape-ups

April 8, 2011 By Lena

Note: The following giveaway is open to Canadian residents only. 

It’s SKECHERS WEEK at Listen to Lena! And here’s a HOT GIVEAWAY ALERT for you… you can win 1 of 5 pairs of SKECHERS Shape-ups… tune in every day to win!

Now it’s no surprise that I’ve been on a mission to take off the baby weight – occasionally waving a white flag (mostly when a pint of ice cream rudely makes its way into my freezer) – but nevertheless always climbing back up on that diet horse. And while smart food choices are a large part of the equation, so is exercise. But you won’t catch me calling a fitness trainer – I’m toning my legs, buttock, back and abdominal muscles without ever setting foot in a gym. SKECHERS Shape-ups, how I love thee!

I’m sure you’ve heard of these little miracle workers. Shape Ups are designed to get you fit while you walk, work, shop, and more. Used properly, Shape Ups change the way you approach your daily activities; just by doing what you always do, your muscles get toned, calories are burned and your posture improves. It’s all thanks to their revolutionary technology:

“The goal with Shape Ups was to simulate walking on soft ground. SKECHERS has turned hard surfaces into comfortable ground through revolutionary technology designed into the framework of the shoe. The core of this technology is in the dynamic rolling bottom, the soft foam insert under the heel, and the dual-density midsole. These three elements work together to give you the feeling of walking on sand or luxurious pile carpet–regardless of the actual surface. Walking on softer, uneven surfaces forces you to engage muscles not normally used when walking on hard ground. Not only does this strengthen your muscles, but it also increases blood flow and reduces the impact on your joints and lower back.

With the comfort of Shape Ups, you will feel your heel sink to the ground as you step, roll forward as your weight shifts to its center, and push off with your toes. This movement will result in stronger leg, buttock, back and abdominal muscles as you stabilize your steps.”

(Yup, that’s Kimmy K. endorsing Shape-ups. Would I like a body like hers? Um, would I like to live in a chocolate house? I think we all know the answer to that.)

The awesome folks at SKECHERS sent me an enviable stash of Shape-ups to help me lift, tone and work my muscles. I couldn’t wait to put them on and begin my workout!

The first thing you need to know about Shape-ups is that they’re not your typical orthodic sneaker. These shoes are hot as h*ll. With clean lines and bright designs, you’ll want to get into them and start exercising. I wore the shoes on walks, while shopping, and even for those quick impromptu errands – hey, even 5 minutes of toning is better than nothing!

Next, it is IMPERATIVE that you ease into them. Please don’t think you can put them on for the first time and then join a walking tour of downtown Toronto. It is recommended that you only wear them for 25-45 minutes per day for the first several days, as both your muscles and posture adjusts to wearing them. At first, I felt a little off-balance, and was deathly afraid of tripping or falling. But I made sure to get comfy in them in open, clutter-free spaces and soon my body got the hang of “walking on sand”. Shape-ups come with instructions, a dietary insert and a fitness DVD – take a few moments and check them out!

So why do I love them? Well, just 10 minutes into my first walk, my calves felt surprisingly tingly and somewhat tighter – almost like I was walking on tip-toes. I also felt an intense need to stand up straight, no doubt thanks to my legs compensating for the rocking motion of the shoe. And, by the 3rd or 4th “workout”, I can’t deny that my butt started to feel like I’d just spent an hour doing squats. Perfecto!

SHECHERS Shape-ups are the perfect supplement to your gym routine, or for any gals (like me) who are allergic to exercise but want a proven, low-intensity method for toning and tightening up.

Did I mention they come in a ton of styles and colours? You can conceivably own a pair of SKECHERS to match every outfit!


SKECHERS Shape-ups can be purchased at virtually any reputable retailer of sneakers and/or shoes, including SKECHERS retail stores! They retail for approx. $119.99, but several styles can be found on sale or on promotion. Visit their website to find a store near you.

It’s SKECHERS week at Listen to Lena! Every day, I’ll be posting a new women’s Shape-ups shoe which is up for grabs in your choice of size! (Value $119.99) Then, I’ll draw for five (5) winners on April 10th.

Today, enter to win one of the “Kim” shoes, a.k.a. SKECHERS Resistance Trainer (SRT) Kinetix Response in White/Silver/Pink! The SRTs are designed to help maximize calorie burn, firm the buttocks, and improve posture… ideal for training at the gym! 

To enter, simply visit SKECHERS online and learn more about the science behind the shoe. Then, leave a comment here with why you’d love to win a pair!

You can also qualify for extra entries! Remember, you must leave a separate comment for each. You can:

(1) Follow my blog, Listen to Lena!
(2) “Like” Listen to Lena! on Facebook
(3) “Like” SKECHERS Canada on Facebook
(4) Follow SKECHERS Shape-ups on Twitter
(5) Tweet about this giveaway (tiny URL: http://tinyurl.com/458orkk)
