Famous Footwear and Reebok Review!!!

“I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Reebok. I received a Famous Footwear gift card to purchase a pair of Reebok shoes to facilitate my review and to thank me for participating.”

Have you ever shopped at Famous Footwear?  I love shopping at Famous Footwear for a lot of reasons, first I am a person that likes to do things efficiently but also as fast as possible because I am so busy.  I like that I can shop in the store and easily find my size which is not a size a lot of stores stock with great abundance, second I have a comfortable place to sit and try the shoes on and I can help myself.  I also love to shop Famous Footwear online, it is easy to browse the site, find what I want in my size and have it shipped to my house.  I recently was chosen to be part of a Reebok influencer campaign with Famous Footwear. I ordered 3 pairs of Reebok sneakers from Famous Footwear and I did it online.  I ordered a great pair for my self of the Reebok Smoothflex in Blue/Orange, I ordered each of my little guys the Reebok Ziglite Rush GS.  I also used the great savings code shown below to buy one pair and get another 1/2 off and then get an extra 15% off my whole order!  I was able to get three pair of quality Reebok sneakers for around $100!!!  Quality, supportive, comfortable sneakers for me, Ethan and Luke at around $100 is really a bargain!!!  Shipping was free and the total with tax and everything was $107.18 because the Ziglites were on sale when I purchased them as were my Smoothflex.

 When they arrived we were all eager to try them on and I did purposely order the boys a bit bigger because they have a lot of shoes and sneakers and so I wanted these bigger and was able to print out a shoe sizer that let me do just that with accuracy.  Mine fit great and were super comfortable, there was not breaking them in and I wore them all day, they were so great for walking and running.  The kids choose to wear theirs too and really liked them, they picked their own colors online and were involved in the whole process online which was really cool for them.

I was so excited to find really comfortable athletic shoes since I am biking a lot and walking.  This is not the first time I have owned Reebok shoes, in fact I started long ago as a teenager and my first pair were the signature pink leather Reeboks that were so popular then, they held up so well and believe it or not I may still have them in the back of my closet.  Through the years I have purchased many others for my kids and myself and have never been disappointed.  If you are looking for a great place to shop for back to school shoes, Famous Footwear and Reebok have got you covered!
