Recently I received some new sock products and Flats to Go Shoes to review that I wanted to share with you. The socks are unique because they have cushions built in at the sole. They are from a company called Kushyfoot. The shoes are similar to the Dr. Scholl’s Fast Flats I told you about last month but they come in a clear bag and have tiny air holes in them so your feet can breathe.
I think the Flats to Go are a great idea. Since I found the Dr. Scholl’s Fast Flats, I have been a huge fan of the take-with-you slip-on slipper/shoe concept. These are great too. They are well-made and they tiny air holes throughout the top and sides to let your feet breathe. Inside, the rubber has grooves, kind of like traction, that lets your feet stay securely in the slippers. The bottom has traction too for added gripping while you walk. These slippers have elastic on the back of the heel area to help them stay one better too. The ones I got were an off-white color and had a cute little bow on the front.
I actually like how these are made more than the Dr. Scholls. The case these Flats to Go comes in is clear and is really designed to take with you in your purse while the Dr. Scholls comes with a gold or black purse you can use by itself but I found it hard to get the Dr. Scholl’s slippers in the purse they provide. The Flats to Go fit better in the clear purse they provide. I think these Flats to Go are a good idea to keep with you so you can slip them on when your feet hurt.
The Flats to Go cost $9.99 which is affordable and at the same price as the Dr. Scholl’s so you can get either depending on the purse carrier you would rather have, or style. I think these are made just a bit better though.
Kushyfoot Foot Covers is a sock product made out of Nylon and Elastane for stretch. They are small and fit inside of your shoe just like a nylon sock that will keep your feet from rubbing against your shoes. They will help keep your shoes cleaner too because you aren’t putting your foot right in the shoe without anything one. They are the size you use when you go to a shoe store and try on a pair of shoes and they give you those small slip-on foot protectors.
The different in the Kushyfoot Foot Covers from other brands is they have a padded sole and also padding at the base of your heel where your shoe tends to rub. I like the padding idea, especially at the heel because that is definitely where shoes tend to rub a lot and you end up with a blister.
I don’t wear many closed shoes, probably for the reason these foot covers were designed, they are uncomfortable and rub. I like to wear open back, slide-in shoes all year long so these won’t help me much. I do wear boots in the Winter though but they rub in different places. I am not sure the padding at the sole will do anything much but it is an added bonus that might help and couldn’t hurt.
The Kushyfoot Foot Covers sell for $3.99 a pair or 3 for $11.97 for the lace face with frilly edges. I think that is a bit high but since I don’t buy these type of socks maybe it is the price most foot covers are sold for. I also received a set of two black extra low cut foot covers (really the same thing as the white ones without the frilly look) and they cost $6.00 for the two pair.
You can buy both products at local retailers (shown here) or at kushyfoot.com
