Get Ready for Summer & Support a Great Cause with @oofos Footwear!

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

It might not be flip flop weather nowadays (at least where I live in MN) but it's never the wrong time to stock up for Summer and dream of warmer weather!

I am dreaming of beach life and sun with OOFOS, the pioneer in recovery footwear! They are not only changing the way athletes think about recovery footwear but making strides in advancing breast cancer research. For every pair of shoes sold on www.oofos.com – 365 days a year – OOFOS donates 3% directly to breast cancer research. For every pair sold from its Project Pink collection, a specially curated line for men and women featuring pink accents, OOFOS donates $10 to finding a cure. To-date, OOFOS has donated more than $130,000 to breast cancer research.

I am loving my new WOMEN'S OOLALA PROJECT PINK SANDAL in BLACK ($59.95).

This is their most popular shoe and I can see why! It soothes and reinvigorates your feet after a workout, so you’ll be ready to do it again tomorrow. With patented OOfoam technology, the OOlala absorbs impact, cradles your arches and allows you to move naturally. Your feet will know the difference!

As an athletic trainer, I know how important it is to have supportive shoes, especially flip flops & sandals! That is why I love what OOFOS stands for and the flip-flops they have designed!

And to top it all off, they give back to a great cause (Breast Cancer Research) and that makes it just that more fun to get new footwear!

I recommend ONLY arch supportive flip flops and sandals and OOFOS are a great brand of those! Get ready for summer today with OOFOS sandals!

Get Comfort & Style This Summer with @Keds!

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

I can admit right now that I am not a heels kind of girl! I don't appreciate aching feet after half an hour or tripping and falling on my face. So I stick to what I love best - comfort!

One of my favorite comfortable shoes companies is Keds and they have my back as I transition to summer footwear!

I LOVE the TEALIGHT T STRAP MICRO DOT sandals I received from Keds! They are the perfect sandals to wear with jean capris or shorts and they are comfortable AND cute - the perfect combination!

These Keds sandals feature a T-strap sandal with buckle closure and a printed twill upper. My favorite part is the flexible rubber outsole and the cute polka dots design!

Plus, if you are a bride this summer, you may be searching for the perfect pair of comfy sneakers to slip into for the reception so you can dance the night away!

Look no further than Keds's great selection of white options with styles and textures ranging from slides to laced and canvas to lace!

They are classy white and super comfortable which works great for a long night of dancing!

You can purchase all Keds shoes and sandals online or at a local store.

Watch Your Children Run, Play and Explore This Spring in M.A.P. Footwear & #Giveaway

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

My children are all about adventure, play and, for sure, motion! With that said, I can't tell you how happy I am to have spring here and warmer weather so they can get that energy and motion out of their systems OUTSIDE!

With that much play, I have got to have tough shoes to outlast their energy (and the summer!) and that company for me is M.A.P. , a children’s shoe brand that is designed to encourage motion, adventure, and play.

These shoes are designed with advanced technology that makes them perfect for outdoor play! They are not only super comfortable for my children, but come in cute colors that will make any child happy! Plus, their new spring collection features sporty closed-toe sandals that are perfect for our family walks/runs AND school!

Check out two of their great styles that my children are loving this Spring!

Girl's Niagara Toddler Sandals

These sandals feature a playful mix of color, mesh and flowers and an easy to put on striped hook-and-loop closure strap at ankle. My 4 year old loves that she can easily slip these shoes on and off and that she doesn't need socks!

They also feature floral-print pull tab at mesh tongue and back heel and solid and floral-print straps and bungee laces at mesh vamp. The closed toe is great for protecting little toes and for allowing them to run fast like they want! :)

Little Boy's Emmons Sandals

My son is light on his feet in these sunny-day-awesome sandals from M.A.P. Footwear, featuring closed-toe styling and cool mesh details. My son HAS to have shoes that allow him to run fast but he likes that he can wear "sandals" in the summer that allow him to go without socks and that can be put on FAST! :)

He loves how comfortable they are to wear and how fast he feels in them! I love that these shoes are made to last and have a durable sole for protecting my children's feet and arches!

TWO Thumbs up from the WHOLE family for these M.A.P. sandals!

Summer may seem a long way off, but if you are planning a vacation or just want to dream of the sun and sand, then check out these great sandals from Rider Sandals!

These sandals are the world’s first after-sport recovery footwear and have boat-friendly features like non-marking Flexpand soles and Instant Dry technology that don't hold moisture.

Because they're made in a country that holds one of the planet's most expansive and ecologically sensitive ecosystems, environmental sustainability is an integral part of both the company's and Brazil's culture. Riders are recyclable, and often end up as playground materials after they've been loved into retirement. They are made from 30% recyclable materials, while 99% of the industrial waste created in their manufacturing is recycled or reused. It's this commitment to the people we serve and the planet we share that sets up apart.

My husband is LOVING his DUNAS II N sandals from Riders.

This iconic brand sandal is their biggest seller all over the world. This most comfortable flip-flop features a classic, synthetic leather upper, soft waffle-textured EVA insole and an extra-soft fabric toe, making it one of the most popular casual sandals for men, women, and children.

These sandals will be worn by my husband the minute that sun and heat come back this spring and I know he won't want to take them off because they are super comfortable, classic, and great for dressing up or down.

I received the super cute pair of: 

Chlambake Sandals

I received this pair of sandals in white and I couldn't be happier! They are so comfortable, cute and versatile!

This T-strap sandal, with smooth stud embellishments and a buckle entry, captures a trendy gladiator look that goes with this season’s latest fashions. Ultra-padded insole and flexible rubber sole layer up your comfort.

I love the softness of the shoe and the gladiator look is so cute! These sandals are so versatile and look great with jeans, leggings and dresses. Plus, they come in many different colors! The embellishments add just the perfect touch of fun and elegance! They don't have a lot of arch support or as much cushion as I would have liked (being a person with very sensitive feet from multiple surgeries) but they are really comfortable and soft to the touch!

I definitely LOVE these sandals for the hot summer months and I definitely recommend the comfort of AEROSOLES in every style! They have a wide variety of styles and sizes - perfect for every woman's style and occasion! And you don't get much better than style and comfort!!

Buy It: You can purchase the Chlambake sandals ON SALE for $49.99 from the AEROSOLES website.
