Think back to your childhood. What shoes did you wear? For me, it was SKECHERS. They were stylish, comfortable and affordable. It was pretty much the only branded shoe I could convince my parents to buy me. I loved them so much that I wore them well into my early adulthood. In fact, I wore\u00a0SKECHERS<\/span>\u00a0(that didn’t have shoelaces) for my first half-marathon over 10 years ago!! While not advisable, I made it to the end!<\/p>\n

That being said, I haven’t worn SKECHERS since then\u00a0but I know the brand is as popular as ever so I was excited to receive a pair for everyone in my family. I honestly didn’t realize how many different styles and looks were available. There were even some great options for running! I probably spent a good hour just perusing the website to select a pair for myself. In fact, I couldn’t narrow it down to just one.<\/p>\n

I also took it upon myself to select a new pair for my sons. While I would normally ask my kids for their input to ensure that they like something and will wear it, I figured that if it lights up when you walk<\/a> and comes in bright colours, or includes anything Star Wars<\/a>, they would like it.<\/p>\n

\"skechers<\/p>\n

Of course I was right. Even though these were meant to be their new back-to-school shoes, the boys insist on wearing them EVERY DAY! Even if it’s 30+ degrees. Kids are funny, but they know what they want and like!<\/p>\n

On a serious note, I will admit that I don’t often buy branded shoes for my kids. After they wreck the second pair only a few months into the new year, I can’t be bothered to spend a large amount of money to replace their shoes. But I do want to get them at least one good quality pair at the beginning of each school year. I really believe that wearing\u00a0a good pair of quality shoes makes a big difference to their developing feet. That’s why I was eager to partner up with SKECHERS. While we haven’t had much time to test them out, the best indicator for me has been the fact that my kids want to wear their new shoes every day, without exception. They’re obviously comfortable and fun!<\/p>\n

Did I mention that my husband got a pair too? I think his SKECHERS Sycamore<\/a> might be my favourite, but it’s hard to choose; They are all so unique.<\/p>\n

Finally I have to mention how comfortable my shoes are. As a busy mom, that is always on the go, comfort is key. It helps that the shoes are super cute too. They fit great immediately and I didn’t need to “wear them in” (aka no blisters). Another bonus is\u00a0that my SKECHERS burst – alter ego<\/a>\u00a0will take me from Summer through Fall (yay for savings)!<\/p>\n

My love affair with SKECHERS has officially been rekindled. Now the hardest part will be choosing which pair to get next!<\/p>\n
