Lugz the Boots for the Winter Season

December 8, 2015 by Ashley 52 Comments

I have loved Lugz boots from afar for years, but have been leary buying a shoe online when I cannot try it on seeing as I have so many problems with my feet.  I got crazy lucky when Lugz said that they would love to be included in my Holiday Gift Guide and sent me a pair of their winter boots for me to review.  I was allowed to select one pair of boots to review and after much debate I decided on the Tambora Boots in Charcoal/ Cream / Black.

I was so nervous about getting these boots in the mail because I normally have to spend over an hour trying on shoes in the shoe store before I find a pair that I am somewhat satisfied with.  I am very glad that when these came I had no problems at all!!  If you are someone who has a disability or wonky feet you will understand why this is such a great success.  Let me tell you even more about why these boots are so amazing for someone like me as well as for any woman looking for some really attractive boots to wear during the winter months.

Why I love my Lugz Tambora Boots

I have a lot of problems with finding women’s shoes that will fit my feet because they are either too narrow or the toe box is not tall enough to give my room for my toes or the top of my feet.  If you have never seen what my feet look like then you wouldn’t know that I have the start of hammer toes and a very high arch with drop foot that creates a very tall foot.  My feet aren’t very wide, but generally my custom orthotics are a bit wider than my foot so I need a wider shoe to accommodate them.  These boots easily accommodate my feet and my orthotics.  (I tested them with my orthotics even though I am not currently wearing them due to my feet swelling from being pregnant.)

These boots are a medium width which I believe plays a part in why they fit my feet so well.  You can tell from the picture that these boots are lined on the inside so they are really warm and oh so soft!  My feet feel so cushioned seeing as they come with a real nice cushioned insole.  I am waiting to try these boots out in the snow and ice because they appear to have a lot of traction on the sole of the boot and they are covered in rubber on the base of the boot to keep them dry and warm during the bitter, cold winter months.

My disability causes me to have poor balance which makes the winter months very hard for me.  I tend to take a lot of falls in the snow and ice and this winter with me being pregnant I need to be extra careful.  I wouldn’t want anything to happen to my unborn child and these boots seem to be the perfect solution for me this winter.  Finally, to top these boots off they are crazy cute!!  I cannot get over just how cute these boots are.  I never really am able to buy cute pair of shoes so this made my day even more!  I love finally owning a pair of cute shoes that I could see other women my age buying.

Buy yourself a pair of Lugz boots today!

Over-Shoe Ice and Snow Cleats Review

April 10, 2014 by Ashley Leave a Comment

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

over shoe snow cleatsSpring might be upon us now in most areas though there are still people out there in the US that are still trudging through snow and ice because of where they live.  I got these Over-Shoe Ice and Snow Cleats in the mail last month right before the last big snow storm.  I was quite thankful that I had them though I do wish I had them even sooner.

I was completely shocked by them for a couple of different reasons.  I was a little unsure if I would be able to easily put them over my shoes as well as take them off, but found that it really was not hard at all.  The rubber material has just enough stretch to it to make it easy for me with my weak hands to put on and off of my shoes.

I found that while wearing these on my shoes I had a lot more traction and I felt a lot more stable in the snow and on the ice.  For me that is a huge thumbs up for them because it is the one thing I absolutely hate about the winter.  They made it so that I did not slip and fall and that in itself is a huge accomplishment.

I think that these are great for everyone, but especially amazing for someone who already has balance issues.  I also think that these would be something great to have in your emergency pack in your car.  I can see them being very helpful to put on when or if your car gets stuck in the snow because it can really help you to have more traction while trying to get your car unstuck.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Zeta Insoles – Acupressure Review

October 31, 2013 by Ashley Leave a Comment

zeta insoleI was interested in these Zeta Insoles that use acupressure to help relief pain and discomfort on my blog because both my boyfriend and his father suffer from pain that simple in store insoles cannot seem to cure.  Before I let them sample them though I wanted to see how they felt.  It was mentioned to me that if you are tender footed you should ease into wearing these.  I definitely classify as being tender footed.   Because these weren’t going to be for me. I didn’t cut them and size them for my feet instead when I was sitting I put them under my feet while wearing socks (like I was instructed to do) for the recommended 20 minutes.


I was hoping that they might help me inn the end because they are recommended for use with diabetic neuropathy but my feet never were able to adjust to thee feeling even after days of just resting my feet on them and not walking in them.  Once I was done with them we trimmed them up and get them ready for my boyfriend.  Trimming them didn’t take much because they go up to a size 14 foot and he is a size 13.  He eased into them faster than I had been trying to do.  In the end he loves them in his shoes.  He says that they help to keep his feet from hurting so much and he can feel a huge difference when he is wearing them versus when he isn’t wearing them.

I attached their informational YouTube video because I think it does a great job of explaining what their insoles are and how they work.

In addition, I was also mailed a surprise little gift that I wanted to mention in this review as well because we use it all the time. They sent me the Zeta Touch Stone – Acupressure Style. I hadn’t known I was getting this and didn’t know how to use it or what to use it for.  I read through the instructions and learned a lot.  We quickly learned that it would be great for the Tennis Elbow that both my boyfriend and his dad suffer from.  When not in use this is always in our freezer.

Both men say this clears up their Tennis Elbow fast just by rubbing it over the affected area.  Overall both products are great and are ones that I highly recommend.
