Ascending Butterfly's 2011 Holidays Buying Guide, Giveaway #3 brought to you by:


Last month we collaborated with Kalso Earth Shoe to present a fantastic boot promotion, we hosted a review and giveaway for the Kalso Earth Boot called 'Prance' (see that review here, just remember that one is closed!), and I am so in love with those boots that for this holiday season I had to work with Kalso again to present another shoe! There is actually one more after this one, so stay tuned!

My Prance boots taught me all about the joys of 'negative heel' technology, which mimics walking barefoot in the sand by naturally positioning body over the frame.

Negative Heel Technology



In case you can't read the graphic well, you can see this info online here. The line was designed by Danish Yoga Instructor, Anne Kalso, the original 'negative heel' design sets heel slightly lower than the toes, and is based on the popular Yoga Position called 'Mountain Pose'. Inspired by Kalso's belief that wellness - in its most organic form - should be part of an everyday experience. (I personally couldn't agree more! Not that I don't love fashion, but back aches are NOT cute!)

About The Renee Shoe:

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Center Seam Zipper
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Hidden Forefoot Goring for the right fit
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Available in Black or Mahogany
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Leather Upper
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Leather Lining

These shoes have a small elasticized tab at the side so you don't need to open the zipper to get in and out of them, you can slip in and out very easily without having to open the zipper. They are super comfortable and look just as great with a pantsuit as they do with jeans! I was actually wearing them the day of the Naturalizer event, so here is a picture of me wearing the Kalso Earth Renee Shoe below:


 My Take:

As a public transportation commuter I can't tell you just how much I love these shoes. I normally wear sneakers while on the train or bus and even though I'd change as soon as I got in the office to shoes, sometimes you just don't want to wear sneakers, but still need to be comfortable.

I remember working as a Bank Teller during my school days, and I was on my feet all day, I wish I would have had these shoes then! If you work on your feet all day or you commute and want a comfortable pair of shoes for your commute, these are it. They give you the comfort of a pair of sneakers but have WAY more style!

They'd make a great gift for anyone who works on their feet all day, you'll definitely score brownie points for slipping the Renee Shoe in their stocking this year!

You didn't think I'd forget about you right? Who loves you butterfly?
