Perks of Shoeaholicism

Posted by kim on September 16, 2008

I was making my Mailbox Monday video yesterday of all the cool stuff I got in the mail last week, and realized I got a lot of cool “shoe” stuff recently (the perks of being the President of Shoeaholics Anonymous), so thought I’d make a quick video review of such. This was my first attempt with this video camera, so I apologize for the crappy sound.

I even wore my “Will Work 4 Shoes” tshirt by coincidence.

Tom’s Shoes sent me the ”For Tomorrow: The Tom Shoes Story” DVD (that was played during the Tribeca Film Festival this year) after I wrote a blog post about how TOMS gives a pair of shoes to a child in need for every pair of Tom’s shoes sold!

ShineToGo.com offers convenient all-in-one, no mess shoe polishers that include a polish applicator and buffer with real cream polish.

Achilles Heel Shields (try saying that three times real fast) are shoe care devices designed to protect the heel of dress shoes, athletic shoes, cowboy boots and high-heels (as I demonstrated on my Mootsies Tootsies heels) from scuffs and damage while driving.

Solestruck.com was nice enough to offer both Squeak and me any pair of shoes we’d like from their site. Squeak chose the Kenneth Cole Reaction Glam Girl Sandals. I was wanting a pair of black booties, but the original pair I received I wasn’t digging. I felt a bit guilty for admitting so, but knew I wouldn’t wear them after seeing them in the flesh. The nice folks at Solestruck emailed me a free return shipping label, and I got a new pair of shoes within a couple of days (they offer fast, free shipping). I now can’t wait to wear my new BC Footwear Jelly Donut Foldover ankle boots with jean to the next football game! Thank you Solestruck!

Shine above the Rest

A good shoe shine is recognized, appreciated and acknowledged as the look of today’s successful professionals - and now you can share this shine with others. Shine to Go shoe polisher gives today’s professionals the look - and confidence - that can only come from shined shoes. ~ ShineToGo.com

Zocalo Group sent me some of these convenient all-in-one, no mess shoe polishers that include a polish applicator and buffer with real cream polish to test out. How do they work?

1. Remove the shoe polisher from the package (available in Black, Brown and/or Clear), unfold it and slip onto two fingers. (Package may be reused for easy disposal).
2. Apply a thin layer of polish to both shoes using a circular motion. Allow polish to dry to a haze.
3. Then, turn over the polisher to buff to a shine.

SHINE TO GO Shoe Polisher nourishes leather with natural conditioners, leaves a deep luster finish without any sticky residue and hides scuffs. Cool, eh? And you can buy these Shine To Go Shoe Polishers from Amazon.com for under $1 per use! Way cheaper than getting your shoes shined at the airport!
