Note: Check me out over here today, I am actually pulling a truck with my best workout buddy Penny!
As we dash off to the mountains for a one night camping trip, I thought I should leave you with my best choice for an all around everyday water or trail shoe…….

These are both stylish and highly functional! Whether we are hiking, wading in streams, jumping rope or running, these shoes have been my constant friend and partner–no angry feet at the end of the day!
Love them!

Have a great Monday!

These star kigos were designed with a woman in mind. A woman whom might wear heels to work and then want to be more comfortable when inside the office or when taking a walk. With the Mary Jane style, they look great with yoga pants, capris, skirts or just about anything!
Check out how cute they look with jeans?!

Whoops, forgot to mention, mine are called the kigo Star. Because of the little hook on the toe, they reminded me of Elf’s Will Ferrell! But, once I got over that, I was truly amazed at how comfortable they were!
I took my shoes on a “test drive” to work. All was wonderful (my staff commented on my shoes, they were super comfortable, and cute) until I went to teach an elementary soccer lesson. OOoooopss! No kicking soccer balls in these minimalist shoe-=PAIN!! Next week, I’m going to test these out at my Cross Fit gym. Wondering how my feet would feel on a box jump in these?! Can’t wait to try them there.

If you were interested in trying a minimalist shoe, these are very affordable at $49.99. They are essentially a great entry level shoe into the world of almost barefoot technology that could seriously function all day every day. And, it’d be the perfect gift for the woman on the go!
COUPON CODE: giftguide20 (expires December 13th)
Please feel free to add anything about your minimalist shoe experience as this was completely new to me!
P.S. Thank you Kigo Shoes for sending me these!

Did you know what you were going to be when you were 5? When my son introduces himself to strangers, he says “I am Inventor Super Benjamin”. My hairdresser says she’s been doing hair since she was five. Apparently, those of you who knew, REALLY KNEW. The owner of Kuru Footwear, Bret Rasmussen, has been designing shoes since he was in the fifth grade.
First, I’d like to send a big thank you to Sallee at Kuru Footwear for offering me the opportunity to test drive the Kruzr. Kuru Footwear is a very new company {only two years} but the owner has been designing shoes for 12 years! How cool it that to get your childhood dream come true?
I’ve taken these shoes on all our local mountain trails and have loved them. The fit is completely different than anything I’ve ever worn. They feel more like a sock on the inside and are fairly soft on the top, but the bottom is incredibly durable. The laces are unique as well. They seem to wrap up your foot from the inside rather than the outside. These shoes will be my teaching shoe as soon as physical education gets into full throttle next week! On all our hikes, my feet never felt sore at the end of the day. They felt fully supported without suffocating. If I were to compare these to other shoes in my closet, these will be first when it comes to outdoor wear and tear as they are way more supportive than a running shoe and not nearly as stiff as my Simple’s.
You can read about their unique technology here. Kuru Footwear can be purchased online or at dealer near you.
Kuru invites you to check out their shoes and try them for yourself!
