need to kick off those heels?

Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

In the past 6 months, I’ve helped head-up a few really big luncheons for large groups. Several of us banned together to help set up, do place settings, serve food, and clean up afterwards. Lots of go-go-go and do-do-do. Wonderful opportunities to serve but oh such achy feet by the end.

Random topic, right? Yep. Totally random. But stick with me here. On those days, I wish I had a pair of more comfortable shoes on-hand … especially for the clean-up. Now I’m prepared. I have a pair of itty-bitty fabbys in my bag so when I need to kick off the heels, I can still have dressed-up feet but I’m way more comfortable.

It’s a cool concept. They’re ballet flats. But they’re really really flat. So they roll up tight and fit into your purse or bag. You’re not going to wear these out & about for hours because they’re not going to exactly offer much support for your feet, but they’re portable and comfortable and dressier than most casual slip-on shoes.

Case in point: On a recent date with my main man, we were out for hours. The shoes I wore that night were cute, but not the most comfy. I was done with them. On our way home, we needed to stop at Target. I slipped on the fabbys and was sooo glad I had them to walk around the store. I’m a fan.

Want to learn more? Go to fabbys.com. Want to try them out for free? Leave a comment HERE with your name and where you live for a chance to win a three-pack of fabbys! Feel free to tell us about your achy feet or heels-in-bad-shape or whatever. Just for kicks.

This giveaway is open to US and Canada residents. Canadian residents would have to pay the fees/taxes/duties derived from the prize/shipping of item.
