Review with Giveaway: OKA b. Shoes That Love You

One of my very favorite things about the warm weather and Summer Season is being able to wear really cute sandals and being able to show off my pedicures! All winter long I wear heavy socks and boots so by the time Spring and Summer rolls along I am so ready to put some adorable sandals to feel carefree, sexy and flirty in! Now I ask, how many times have you you purchased the most darling pair of sandals and once you began wearing them you find your feet are killing you and the thrill of wearing the sandals quickly turns into pain and discomfort?! Now where is the fun in that?? I have the perfect solution for you! OKA b. Shoes! They not only offer a wide variety of delightful sandals and shoes in an equally wide variety of colors and styles, but they offer you the ultimate in comfort as well! It is with such pleasure that I include OKA b. shoes in my Spring Radiance 2010 Guide because they truly are a dream to wear. I am also offering one of my readers a chance to win a pair! Let me introduce this very fine company to you:

ABOUT OKA b.

A Revolutionary Idea in Comfort Footwear

OKA b. is founded on the idea that fashion and comfort should never be mutually exclusive. True, many “comfort shoes” are readily available on the market, but few offer styles that look as good as they feel. Armed with an eye for beauty and a mind for comfort, the savvy designers at OKA b. strive to liberate feet with new shoe solutions.

Fashion-Forward

OKA b. began with two basic styles - a slip-on slide sandal and thong (flip-flop). By integrating the principals of reflexology through a massaging foot bed, OKA b. shoes bring comfort to feet with each step. The proprietary Microplast® process creates a material that cushions feet while remaining antimicrobial, waterproof and washable. These features made OKA b. shoes popular in upscale resorts, spas and hotels around the world. It didn’t take long for guests to fall in love with their shoes, and express their desire to bring the spa experience home with them.



Today OKA b. adapts runway trends and fashion accents to their popular slides and thongs to create a complete collection of shoes that pamper feet on the go – from a morning at work, to an afternoon at the beach, and even to a night on the town. From sleek and stylish mid-heel thongs and slides to modern ballet-style flats, OKA b.’s collection continues to grow as customers around the world fall in love with the unique concept of OKA b. footwear.

MY REVIEW

The gracious folks at OKA b. Shoes sent me 3 exceptional styles of sandals to review. Each one is very different from the other in terms of style, but what they all have in common is the ultimate in state of the art comfort. All 3 designs are just divine, so very feminine and have that cute factor that is timeless and ageless and such a terrific way to bring new life to your existing summer wardrobe. Here are the gorgeous styles I received:

THE MADISON - Aqua w/ Aqua and White Stripe Ribbon
Retails for $30.00

To view the wide variety of colors and patterns THE MADISON is available in CLICK HERE



Experience sugar and spice and everything nice, when you slide into this cute yet comfy style. Interchangeable ribbons allow you to personalize your style be it daring or darling.

American Made Shoes and Sandals · Two-year guarantee · Durable one-piece construction · Antimicrobial and waterproof for clean, fresh feet · Built-in massage beads based on principles of reflexology · Non-slip, non-marking · Interchangeable ribbon · Top-shelf, dishwasher safe (remove ribbon prior to washing)



MY THOUGHTS: I received the darling Madison Sandals in the Aqua Color with Aqua Stripe Ribbons. These sandals are bright and cheerful and just adorable! They feel like a dream on your feet, super comfortable and your feet will immediately feel at home in them. These sandals make you feel very flirty and carefree when you are wearing them. I love that youthful, sassy, easy going feeling that wearing something really cute brings out in me. That is precisely the reaction wearing these sandals had for me.

Our warm weather hasn't arrived here yet, but I have been wearing these glorious sandals around the house. They are cozy and comfy to wear and they make me smile every time I look down on them because they are so pretty! I can't wait to start wearing them outside because they are going to work so well with so many of my favorite summer outfits. They are a marvelous style to enjoy wearing and at the same time feel total comfort in.





THE SAMANTHA - Licorice w/ Three Crystal Pendant
Retails for $40.00



Undeniably glamorous, the Samantha heel flip flops are the talk of the town. With a sophisticated heel and crystal pendant to brighten your days and nights, these thong heel flip flop thongs will stop you from ever slipping up. As always, OKA b. comfortable shoes and sandals are American made!

Features:

American Made Shoes and Sandals · Two-year guarantee · Durable one-piece construction · Antimicrobial and waterproof for clean, fresh feet · Built-in massage beads based on principles of reflexology · Non-slip, non-marking · Wipe clean



MY THOUGHTS: I received the very elegant Samantha Sandals. I wear a lot of cute little black sundresses in the summer so these sandals are just the perfect simple yet glamorous sandals to wear with them. They have just the perfect touch of bling decorating them to give you some sparkle and twinkle on those warm, balmy summer days and nights. I love feeling really feminine and sexy and euro chic and that is the effect these sandals had on me. They brought out the posh girl that exists within me.

I have been wearing these around the house too! Typically I find that thong style sandals are uncomfortable so I don't normally purchase them nor wear them. But I have to rethink my sentiment there because these sandals are not constricting nor uncomfortable in any way. In fact, I barely feel the "thong" aspect of them except for the fact that they are what keeps the sandals on me. Other than that, they are soft and cushiony and truly are a dream to wear. I love the alluring way this style makes my feet and toes look! I love wearing them around the house because they make me feel confident and a couture like and I can't wait until I can wear them out in public because they are just that classy and chic that they will become one of my favorite sandals to wear when I go out.




THE SUZANNE - Salt w/ Turquoise and Veriscite Oval Stones
Retails for $40.00



The Suzanne heel flip flops are women's sandal inspired by the southwestern region of America. These heel flip flops feature beautiful stones in multiple finishes and colors. As always, OKA b. comfortable shoes and sandals are American made!

Features:

American made shoes and sandals · Two-year guarantee · Durable one-piece construction · Antimicrobial and waterproof for clean, fresh feet · Built-in massage beads based on principles of reflexology · Non-slip, non-marking · Wipe clean · Comfortable 1 3/4" heel



MY THOUGHTS: I received these gorgeous and very striking sandals in white, although they also are available in Black and Brown as well. Turquoise is my very favorite natural stone to wear in the summer months so I was thrilled beyond words when I laid my eyes on these dynamic sandals for the first time. They are just fabulous! I have to say of all 3 pairs that I received these are my very favorites. They are just the most dynamic, enchanting style I have ever owned. They have a casual elegance to them, the stone embellishments against the sleek white body of the sandals is so striking and makes such a distinctive "splash" to my summer outfits. Again, these sandals are a dream to wear. So plush and soft against your feet you will forget you are wearing them! These are my number one pick for the summer to spruce up and revive some of last years summer's outfits!
