Back to School with New Reebok Kicks #ReebokMom

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.

I have been an active person my whole life. I played a variety of sports all throughout school and have made exercise a priority ever since. In the past few months, I’ve really gotten into weightlifting and HIIT (high intensity interval training). I work out 5-6 days a week for an hour to an hour and a half each time. I put a lot of stress on my feet, so it’s essential that I have comfortable and supportive shoes. I have tried several different brands over the years, but have surprisingly never owned a pair of Reeboks. That all recently changed when I was given the opportunity to be a #ReebokMom and try out a new pair of Reebok athletic shoes. I was more than happy to put them to the test!

A few weeks ago, I headed to my local Famous Footwear to pick out my new Reebok shoes. I have been shopping at Famous Footwear for years now, and have always been impressed with their wide selection of name brand shoes. I’ve also saved a lot of money shopping their BOGO half off sales, and with perfect timing, they had one going on that weekend!

I was surprised that my Famous Footwear only had a few Reebok athletic shoes to choose from, but thankfully they had the ones I wanted. I picked out the Reebok Smoothflex in grey/purple. They are normally $79.99, but were on sale for $60. I was excited to see that they came with two colors of laces — black or neon orange. I love hot colors, so the neon orange was right up my alley. I tried them on and they felt super comfortable, so I was anxious to see how they would fair in the gym!

Since Famous Footwear was offering buy one, get one half off, I figured it was the perfect time to get my son some new shoes for school. He had never owned a pair of Reeboks before, so he really wanted to get a pair. He chose the ZigTech Shark in blue/yellow. They weren’t on sale, but with the discount we still only spent a little over $100 for two pairs of shoes.

I have been wearing my Reebok Smoothflex athletic shoes for a couple of weeks now and I am in love! Since I had never worn Reeboks before, I honestly wasn’t sure if I was going to like them. I didn’t know what to expect from them, but they have become my favorite workout shoes! They are comfortable, lightweight, breathable, and supportive. My feet never hurt during or after my workout. I really feel like I am walking on clouds when I wear them! As far as sizing, I would say that they run a little small lengthwise (I had to go a half size up from what I normally wear) but the width is fine.

My son has been wearing his Reebok ZigTech Shark athletic shoes every day to school and is constantly raving about how comfortable they are. He has received lots of compliments on how nice they look. I am most impressed with how well they look even after he has been wearing them for a few weeks. They still look brand new! This gives me hope that they will last the whole school year!

These past few weeks have been crazy with all the back to school shopping and last minute errands we’ve had to run. Out of all the items we’ve bought, I would have to say that our new Reebok shoes are definitely at the top of the list for favorite items!

If you still have some back-to-school shoe shopping to do, I would highly recommend checking out Famous Footwear. Right now you can not only score BOGO half off, but also an additional 15%-20% off. Plus, if you review your shoes on the Famous Footwear website, you will also receive a coupon good for $10 off your next $50 purchase!
