N5 Series Shoes from Naturalizer *Review*

This year, I have challenged myself for a lot of changes.

• Weight loss
• Getting healthy and staying healthy!
• Being more active outdoors with the family
• Being more organized
• Get rid of any clutter
• Dress more stylish, yet comfortable

I have to say that last one, because since I have become a stay at home mother, we pretty much live in comfy clothes, jammies, random things that may or may not match. Just because we stay at home mothers are home all day, that doesn’t mean we have to lose our style in the meantime, right?

I had the wonderful opportunity to try out a pair of N5 Series Shoes from Naturalizer. I chose the Naturalizer Cazadero. These looked like something that I thought would be comfortable as well as something that could be dressed up or casual.

About the N5 Series Shoes from Naturalizer:

For the New Year, Naturalizer is doing something that they are calling “New year, new you, new…feet.” Naturalizer’s reflexologist (and mother of three), Michelle Ebbin, knows a thing or two about being a busy mom on her feet. Michelle has worked with clients such as mommy Salma Hayek, devoted wife Ashley Judd and proud father Peter Gabriel (amongst other fab a-listers). Below are some quick and easy tips to help any mom start the year off on the right foot:

• 15 minutes of…comfort: When selecting a shoe, you should be able to walk for at least 15 minutes without discomfort or pressure to any part of the feet. Even if you live in heels, you should be able to feel balanced and stable enough so that you are not carrying all of your body weight on the balls of your feet. Balance ensures that your core is stable and energy circulation can flow easily. Stability promotes stress relief and improved posture.
• Breathe easy: Every woman knows how annoying sweaty, sliding feet can be. And when your feet can’t breathe, your energy can’t flow. Find shoes with a breathable lining. By keeping your feet cool, and comfortable, you can relieve and prevent energy blockages in the feet.
• Lighten up and embrace the softer side: Hard, clunky shoes are more than just ugly, they can affect your circulation. The lighter the weight and the softer the cushioning, the less pressure on your feet which means better circulation.
• The 2010 shoe mantra – NO BREAKING IN: Flexibility means no “breaking-in” period. Supportive, lightweight shoes lessen the impact of gravity, which can wreak havoc on your feet and your entire body. Buy shoes that feel good straight out of the box.

I LOVE the Naturalizer Cazadero shoes! They are so comfortable, adorable as can be, stylish, can be dressed up for business attire, or dressed down for a more casual look. This particular pair is $69.00. I included a coupon code for Naturalizer below where you can get a nice 15% off your purchase. The Naturalizer Cazadero shoes are so very comfortable! I wore these for the first time with jeans and a white button up shirt. I was amazed how dressed up my outfit became just from a pair of shoes. There is a zipper on the top that adds some cuteness to the shoes, but also allows for the shoes to go on with ease. In the sole of the shoes, the padding is unbelievably soft! After being on my feet all day at a conference, then running through two airports, at the end of the day, my feet were not hurting. These can easily be worn with just about anything from dress slacks to Capri’s. Another thing that I found out for myself, and love & appreciate, is that I didn’t have to wear these around the house with two pairs of socks on to break them in. Admit it ladies, you have done this with some shoes in the past. I know I have.
