Summer Fun - Spare Soles Review & Giveaway! {CLOSED}

Pin It

Summer has finally arrived and we couldn't be more excited! The weather's nice and lots of fun is to be had. That's why we're celebrating this fun season as well as Mel moving into a new house on a lake here at Outnumbered 3 to 1. Please join us all Summer long as we share great products for the home and season. Of course we'll have tons of great prizes for you to win too!


Spare Soles provides a solution to the modern woman that wants to wear her heels yet suffers in doing so. Spare Soles are so compact you can fit them in your purse or pocket and take them with you anywhere, anytime. Instead of being barefoot, or having that constant reminder that you’re in excruciating footwear whether it be at a wedding, dance club, office, hotel or airport, you now have the choice to be comfortable. Slip on a pair of these truly portable flats. Then put your heels back on for those important moments when only your heels will suffice.
Andrea Padilla went to wedding after wedding and at the end of each one would kick off her heels and wind up dancing barefoot. She walked barefoot through hotels and parking lots in Vegas after because of sore feet from walking in heels. You probably know how this feels, I know how this feels. I love my beautiful black strap Aldo heels, but oh how they kill my aching feet! I wind up sacrificing style for comfort every time, much to the dismay of my husband who loves my strap heels as much as I do.

In 2007 Andrea Padilla had enough (I imagine) and did all of us women a favor by creating Spare Soles. As a Mother and an Inventor she created a fresh approach to the modern lifestyle and I imagine husbands all across the world rejoicing in the fact that their wives would wear heels again. Hallelujah! Or at least that's how I felt when I slipped on a pair of these extremely comfortable Metro Spare Soles.


Metro Spare Soles are foldable, take-anywhere flats that come housed in a wristlet that opens to a spare tote bag. They provide a solution to the modern woman that wants to wear high heels, yet suffers in doing so. Metro Spare Soles allow you to travel or continue any activity in comfort and style.
Let me tell you something amazing, something extraordinary, something just down right outstanding that I figured out with these Metro Spare Soles! You will gasp, it is that wonderful! I had a feeling that not ALL women wear heels, especially if their feet have been traumatized by hours of walking in them. I thought, "How would this benefit every woman?" And then it came to me! Let me walk you through how I used my Metro Spare Soles for a different purpose.

One morning I just decided to put on the shoes and put my coupons and cards into the little wrist-let. I went to the store and upon checkout realized I was holding not just a wrist-let but a tote bag! I handed over my coupons, opened it up into a full tote and then placed my cards and my groceries in it. Viola! I just lessened my carbon footprint while being stylish, sophisticated and comfortable. By the time I left the aisle I was sold on the idea of Spare Soles for the rest of my life! This coming weekend when I go out on my belated Birthday dinner with my husband I will be wearing my beautiful black strap Aldo's and carrying along my Spare Soles. These are definitely worth purchasing, can be of multi-use and it is always wonderful to have a foldaway tote in your purse for any occasion; especially if you have kids.

They have Spare Sole Flip Flops available with the tote as well, and also a pair of Metro Spare Soles with a wallet, so you can keep your cards handy! There is a Diamond line for weddings and a little bling to put on your shoes and so much more. Check them out, they're simple, amazing and a product I'd put on the Must Have For Moms list or to keep in mind for your Wife the next time you wonder why she isn't putting on those favorite heels.

Buy It!

You can buy the Metro Spare Soles for $29.95.

Your Pork Chops w/Mushroom Gravy sounds really good and easy to prepare. Even tough I'm not too much of a pork eater, I do however LOVE mushrooms. This sounds like it would be easy and pretty fast to make on those days when you might be in a pinch time wise.
