KICKS

With the dawn of summer and the desire to spend time outdoors more intense, I decided it was time to invest in a new pair of running shoes. As a devout follower of pilates (no shoes necessary), it would seem odd that running shoes would be on my shopping list. As mentioned in an earlier post, I have decided to go green (er.). In my quest to live a greener life, I have purchased a bicycle. With visions of a romantic bike ride with husband on a weekend afternoon or a group cougar ride to Starbucks, I have convinced many of my friends to invest in bicycles. (Husband feels uncoordinated as a biker and has chosen not to participate in this activity.) Biking in a city requires shoes. Hence my need to purchase new “kicks”. Most people buy athletic shoes based on fit, weight, and performance. I agree that all of the above factors are of the utmost importance. However, I start my running shoe search based primarily on aesthetics. The color scheme must make a statement and the shoe must look flattering on the leg.  Are the kicks boat like enough to make the leg look toned and skinny? Over the years, I have worn gold, silver, and black runners. Thus, this is the year I have decided to find the perfect hot pink and orange combination which would scream sass, spirit, optimism, summer, and confidence. Not to mention, a bright pink shoe could be spotted a mile away as I pedal on the bike or if I have fallen to the ground in a heap. Having narrow and flat feet does not make for finding athletic shoes an easy “feat.”  Nikes fit too big while Adidas are too heavy on my feet. What’s a girl to do? I was then introduced to NEWTON’S which literally have almost made a runner out of me. Resembling running on the beach, the newton technology is unique and revolutionary. For chicks like me, the newton is classy yet sassy.

“The hot pink with a mix of yellow colors make it more appealing to women to include it on their ‘must have’ Christmas and shopping list. But do not be fooled with the girly facade because this shoe is also known for its performance, speed and distance. This HOT shoe is well designed in a super light race specific profile that assists in keeping up a fast paced running form. The Newton’s Action Reaction Technology in its forefoot is one good asset of this shoe. The advanced rear-foot design that make the most of forward motion and propulsion and adds to the best possible running form.”

Don’t forget, LIFESTYLE LEMONAID followers need to master the sporty look as well as the chic “I am hosting the soiree of the season” look. HUSBAND much prefers the sporty look!
