Sponsored Post: @Reebok #Skyscape Shoe Review (with outfit suggestions)

The following post is sponsored by FitFluential, LLC on behalf of Reebok. As always, all thoughts, ideas and opinions are my own and in no way influenced by payment or free product.

Last week, an adorable shoe box showed up on my doorstep:

At first sight, it had two things going for it: The silk ribbon tied ever so precisely into a bow, and the box itself. Because obviously, you know that pink is my favorite color. When I opened the box, I discovered a creative presentation of the new Reebok Skyscape shoe. (You know me, sucker for a good marketing campaign because of her former life in advertising.)

I was thrilled to be chosen for this campaign because I've been looking for the perfect runaround sneaker. Something I could wear with jeans or shorts that wouldn't be too gym-ish, if that makes sense. I was hoping they'd send me the pink pair (see previous comment about the color pink). And they did:

Clocking in at just five ounces, these shoes are incredibly lightweight. I mean, the upper portion of the shoe is essentially made out of foam. Soft and flexible? Yes. And they don't, in any way whatsoever, dig into my ankles because they're cut low enough. Translation: They don't give me blisters. Always a good thing. As is the fact that my feet have yet to sweat in them, so I feel totally comfortable going sans sock. Which is not something I do very often in runaround sneakers.

Speaking of running around, they're sneakers, sure. But they're not so much meant for working out. Think casual. Think stylish. Think comfort, too. Perhaps a bit low in the arch support department, so if that is a priority for you, you might have issues. Or not. Generally speaking, I think your feet will fall in love with Skyscapes. I swear. Big picture: They're more comfortable than most runaround sneakers I've tried on.

And—they're totally machine washable. I haven't tried this out yet as I've been getting by on spot cleaning, but from what I hear, it actually works. So that's good.

Suffice it to say, I've worn these shoes a few times now and I'm absolutely thrilled with them.

(Can we stop for a minute and just make note that the sun is obviously out, casting a shadow my way? I see you, Spring. And it's about damn time.)

So comfortable. So cute. So adorable with a wide variety of outfits. To illustrate this point, I pieced together two examples for you. I'd model these outfits, but the bump...it's far too big these days for most of what I've got in my closet. Literally, I'm down to just a handful of things that fit comfortably.

Anyway, you can be sure I'll sport these combos at some point post-baby:



Lightweight, loose top paired with denim shorts and a fun necklace. Plus, a cross-body bag. Perfect for running errands or lunch with a friend, don't you think?

Funky printed ankle pants paired with a long-sleeved denim shirt and scarf, plus jewelry and a clutch. Perfect for a lower-temp night out with friends on the patio of a wine bar, maybe?

To further prove that style never stops, even in sneakers, check out the Skyscape Styling page. You'll find a few more ideas using all the different Skyscape colors. I'm totally drooling over the flat grey color. And the fact that you can customize your own pair. Hello, animal print! Nothing like walking around in shoes that you completely designed...talk about unique!

Anyway, if you're looking for stylish runaround sneakers and want to give the Skyscapes a try, start at a Reebok FitHub or Outlet store location near you.

Question: What would you wear with the Reebok Skyscape shoe? Would you go pink, or would you pick another color?

I've also been searching for the perfect 'non gym' everyday shoes and these are it!

They are SO great casual shoes! I wear them all over the place with everything! Seriously considering the grey pair right now...

adailydoseoffit said...

Right?! So comfortable...and, um, they're pink. We're both in agreement that makes them even better, I think.

They're the perfect pop of color, really! So versatile...

I have a lot of black, too. And grey. But that's what makes accessories so fun! Instant updates.

I love wearing my Skyscapes with jeans. Love how you styled your pair!

adailydoseoffit said...

Skyscapes + Jeans = Perfection! Now, if only the baby bump weren't so big and I could fit into the above. Ha! 8 Weeks to go until I get my closet back! :-)

I wouldn've figured myself as a pink runaround shoe person, but seeing your outfit combos has me thinking otherwise - those outfits are super adorable!
