Product Review: Flats to Go by Kushyfoot
The fabulous folks over at Lipton Publicity sent me a pair of flats that fold by Kushyfoot. I’ve tried similar shoes in the past and while they are great to have on hand for when heels get to be too much, I often felt like my feet were bare. The shoes felt more like house slippers than outdoor shoes.
I was pleasantly surprised when I put on the Flats to Go and noticed that the sole was pretty sturdy. I decided to really put them through the paces to see if they could go the distance. I’d been wearing flats for most of the summer and I tend to be a bit of a Nazi when I want to get back in my heels. Rather than easing into them, I’ll force myself to get re-acclimated by wearing them to an event with no back up shoes on hand. Plus, my heels tend to start at three inches and go up so I might decide to throw on a pair of five inch pumps after being in flip flops for a couple of months. It’s not always nice for my feet but it does get me back into the swing of things quickly. Now, I don’t recommend this tactic for a heels wearing novice but us pros can handle it.
I digress…
This time rather than going all in with my heels, I decided to take the Flats to Go with me. They come in a cute little plastic case with a handle that I clipped to my purse so I wouldn’t forget them somewhere. It was very convenient. And sure enough, my feet began to hurt not long after I got out of the car. Rather than hobble around in the heels, I pulled them off and threw them in my backseat. Then I pulled on the Flats to Go and went about my day.
I felt very comfortable walking around in the shoes outside. The sturdy sole made them feel like actual shoes. I was pleased with them immediately and in an added bonus, someone complimented me on them. I was wearing the snakeskin Flats to Go and they did look more like ballet flats than fold up shoes. It was very cool!
The only negative with the shoes is the elastic around the foot started to dig into my ankle after I’d been wearing them for a couple of hours. I think this could be remedied by getting the flats a size larger than your shoe size, though. Overall, these are a great thing to have for those days when you need a break from your heels. I suggest getting them in a cute design or color just to add to the fanciness but you could stick with basic black and benefit just the same.
They cost about $10 and can be purchased from the Kushyfoot website or various stores like Walgreen’s, Publix or Rite Aid, among others. Here’s a link to Kushyfoot Retailers so you can find one near you. As the weather cools, we are going to need something other than flip flips to slip into when we need to take off our heels. These are a wonderful alternative.
