Oh My Aching Feet (No More!) *Giveaway*
October 8, 2009 by Caryn
This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by. The winner is Mishia. Congrats!
As a nurse who works 12+ hours on my feet, quality, supportive shoes are a must. And to be honest, I haven’t been wearing the appropriate shoes for a woman who stands and walks as much as I do. It wasn’t until another provider commented on the lack of support my shoes were providing, that I started thinking about looking into other shoes. There are many products I either would not spend money on, or would rather wait until they’re on sale to purchase (hence the fact that you won’t see certain types of products reviewed on my blog). However, when it comes to shoes…for myself and for my family…I am willing to spend money.

I recently had an opportunity to try out the newly launched Timberland PRO Renova series, designed for women who work in professional caregiver roles. If you’re a doctor, nurse, dentist, etc. these shoes are for you! If you’re a mom who cares for children, these shoes are for you! Here is a little more information about the shoes from the site:
Renova features unique Anti-Fatigue Technology that offers all-day standing comfort and support. Timberland PRO designed these shoes with the belief that by taking care of your feet, you are taking care of the rest of your body. The shoes are slip-resistant, easily washable and feature an exclusive Anti-Fatigue Technology, which offers superior shock absorption and exceptional leg and back support.
Timberland offers three different styles based on the type of shoe you prefer when standing for long periods of time. I chose the Caregiver series, which is a slip-on clog because I like a little flare and style, even when I’m working. But if you’re more the athletic type, the Provider series may be just the shoe for you. Here is just a brief overview of each style (pay attention…hint hint!).
Caregiver – A series of clogs that offer the convenience of a slip-on, but ensure a secure fit with a built-in back strap. The anatomically shaped oblique toe box allows room for the forefoot to spread, a slip-resistant outsole provides necessary safety protection and an Agion® anti-microbial treated footbed cover seeks to eliminate bacteria. SRV $60.
Provider – A line of athletic-inspired shoes that features two styles: one with a leather upper and one with a synthetic upper, both treated with water-resistant material for easy cleaning. An anatomically shaped, athletic toe box provides superior comfort, a SafeGripTM slip-resistant outsole grips both wet and dry surfaces for ease and mobility and an Agion® anti-microbial treated footbed cover seeks to eliminate bacteria. SRV $80.
Professional – A premium line of shoes made with full-grain leathers and microsuede upper linings for outstanding style and durability. The Professional series shoes feature an anatomically shaped oblique toe box, the SafeGripTM slip-resistant outsole and a ScotchgardTM protector by 3M for superior stain resistance. In addition, a Dryz® IntellitempTM footbed cover regulates temperature and manages moisture and bacteria, while the Bi-Fit® Tridensity footbed cradles the heel, and offers arch support and forefoot flexibility. SRV $100.
Here is my take on the Caregiver series. I received a pair in Navy. I love the way they look. Gone are the days of nursing and medical shoes looking as such. The clogs are fashionable enough to wear outside of the hospital (and I will!). They’re relatively lightweight (but not as light as, say, a pair of Crocs), but sturdy and durable. The shoes have a nice squishy, removable insert, and the shoe itself is built with a lot of support. I also like the ability to wear them with or without a strap. The soles are rubber and have “grip” to prevent clumsy people like me from slipping. I’ll be honest that I haven’t spent an entire day in them yet, but the few hours I have worn them, I’ve been very comfy! Gone are the days of sore feet…but now what excuse can I give to have my husband rub my feet? Oh…and did I mention they come with a cute little buffer brush?
The company offers a 30 guarantee…but I doubt you’ll need it!

I feel like I deserve these shoes because I assist my mom in taking care of my dad, and I still have to run my house and manage my own kids and grandchild, so I am a caregiver to the generations!

Why do I deserve a pair of Renova series shoes? Because I had Gastric Bypass Surgery on June 1 of this year, and between the weight I lost before surgery, and since surgery, it totals 117 pounds! Really! No lie! So besides needing new clothes, I can’t believe my feet shrunk! I suffered from lymphodema, and for the longest time, all I could wear was either a seven year old pair of sneakers, or slippers. So now I have the opportunity to wear nice clothes and decent shoes. These would truly be a cherished gift, and I’d be more than grateful for them.

I am a shoeaholic. I freely admit it. However, about 90% of the shoes I have I cannot wear anymore. My arthritis has progressed to the point that it is not worth the pain to make a fashion statement. These shoes look great and comfy.

These look like the perfect work shoe! I love a slip-on shoe and the last pair of shoes I bought haven’t held up well at all; the insoles ripped during the first month and the soles are barely hanging on by a thread now. I’ve looked at other shoes but I can’t seem to find something stylish and comfortable since I wear them for 8 hours 5 days a week. These look like they’d fit the bill.

Thanks for the wonderful giveaway
I think I deserve these shoes because I have to work on my feet 8 hours a day and they are simply killing me. I haven’t found anything to take the pain away yet, maybe these would work.

I’ve had some accidents that have left me needing help with putting on shoes and fastening them, so a pair of slip on ones would be great.
