Skechers GOwalk: My Must Have!

Never without my GOwalk!

Initially, when I received  these shoes, what a surprise! So far away from my style! I know this design is the big trend of this winter, but I’m not trends! It took me almost a month before wearing them around mid-August. Then I suddenly loved them (yes after wearing them): absolute comfort with the Memory Foam insole. A blessing for my feet!

Since then they go with me everywhere. They are lightweight and amazing for long walks in town. I even use them when I have to get to a formal appointment. And I swapped my Skechers GOwalk for high heels once arrived at destination. For few months, from the Lisbon Vogue Fashion’s Night Out to a fashion exhibition in Rotterdam … I’ve kept them with me (photo montage below)!

The day before taking these photos, I washed my slip-on sneakers in the washing machine. I feared they deteriorate but not, they stay fine. The only negative point about them is the smell. Maybe they need their ventilation system to be improved, or using antiperspirant materials.

Skechers Flex Appeal

Excellent design for indoor running

I’ve had my Sketchers Flex Appeal since summer and I haven’t really been diligent in sport. Actually it’s not true, I focused on aquatics. But I also test my sneakers indoors running on a treadmill several times.

En   In addition to have a smart design, they also feature the Memory Foam, a flexible sole that takes the shape of the foot and work as a pillow for the foot during the effort. These sneakers are very light and flexible for a better comfort.     

As a beginner runner, they perfectly suit me. By cons I have not used them outdoors, so I do not know if they have a good grip (on wet soils for example), or if they are easy to clean (mud etc …).

Skechers: j’ai testé les modèles GOwalk et Flex Appeal

Skechers GOwalk: mes inséparables!

Skechers-Go Walk-Slip-on-Sneakers-1-Photo Mademoiselle Le K-copyright 2014

Jamais sans mes GOwalk!

Dire qu’au départ, j’ai un peu halluciné en les recevant, tant ce n’était pas, mais pas du tout mon look! Je sais c’est la grosse tendance de cet hiver, mais je ne suis pas les tendances! Il m’a fallu près d’un mois avant de les porter, soit mi-Août. Et là choc, gros coup de foudre : un confort absolu (oui!) grâce à la semelle intérieure Memory Foam.

Depuis elles m’accompagnent partout, d’une légèreté incomparable : absolument indispensables lorsqu’on marche beaucoup en ville. Pour me rendre à un RV important : je les troque une fois arrivée à destination pour des escarpins. Après quelques mois, de la Vogue Fashion’s Night Out à Lisbonne à une expo à Rotterdam… elles ne me quittent plus (montage photos ci-dessous)!

La veille de faire ces photos, j’ai lavé mes GOwalk à la machine à laver. Je craignais qu’elles s’abîment et non : impeccables. Je n’ai relevé qu’un détail négatif, l’odeur. Peut-être améliorer le système d’aération, ou prévoir des matériaux anti-transpirants.

Skechers Flex Appeal

Excellent modèle pour courrir en salle

J’ai mes Sketchers Flex Appeal depuis l’été et je n’ai pas vraiment été assidue côté sport. En fait pas vraiment, j’ai privilégié autant que possible les sports aquatiques. Mais j’ai quand même eu l’occasion de tester à plusieurs reprises mes Flex Appeal en salle, sur un tapis de marche/course, pour travailler le cardio.

En plus d’être très réussies niveau du look (sobres et élégantes), elles sont aussi dotées d’une semelle très souple Memory Foam qui épouse la forme des pieds et encaisse bien le poids du corps à chaque impact avec le tapis. Elles sont très agréables, car très légères et flexibles.

En tant que runner débutante, elles me conviennent parfaitement. Par contre je ne les ai pas utilisées en extérieur, donc je ne sais pas si elles ont une bonne adhérence (sur des sols mouillés par exemple), ni si elles sont faciles à entretenir (boue etc…).

The Vogue Fashion’s Night Out in Lisbon: More Than Fashion

Lisbon-Vogue Fashion's Night Out-Embaixada-Shops-Photo Mademoiselle Le K-copyright 2014

My First Vogue Fashion’s Night Out in Lisbon!

Where were you last night? It started wrong for me. The day before the event, we were 4 highly motivated! Then yesterday, everyone canceled. Urban temper! Never mind, I decided to go with my faithful companion, my Canon and a little newcomer, my new phone ; )

Already three years ago, I attended the Paris Vogue Fashion’s Night Out, Avenue Montaigne, more formal and … Much less relaxed than the Lisbon one which was very festive and friendly! It’s funny because it rained all day long (today too!), but the night was pretty hot!

From Principe Real To Barrio Alto: Everything Is More Beautiful At Night!

First stop in a great neighborhood, Principe Real full of people last night! Pictures 1 and 4: Embaixiada and picture 2: the coffee, bar and restaurant in Embaixiada, Le Jardin which overlooks a bohemian garden. Picture 3: Big up to the Carolina at 21 PR Concept Store, the coolest girl that night!

Picture 5 (below): nice projection on the facade of the CS Vintage Lisboa Hotel. Picture 6: the traffic! Picture 7: live music in Bairro Alto, apparently the audience enjoyed it. The music was outdated and the MC pretty bad (80s hits such as “Last Night a DJ Saved My Life”). Picture 8: the famous tram! And picture 9: the beautiful Museu de São Roque where I spent a long time.

The Great Surprise of The Evening: A Visit To The Museu de São Roque

When I told you that here the Vogue Fashion’s Night Out is more than just a fashion event, thankfully otherwise I couldn’t stay for long! I took the opportunity to discover this rich religious art of the museum and the magnificent church, Igreja de São Roque Museum. 

I enjoyed a private tour of the museum with the curators and guides. Picture 11 (below): the Igreja de São Roque and picture 12: one of the chapels of the church dating from the eighteenth century. Picture 10: the lovely courtyard with a soothing atmosphere, where a DJ played good eletro music.

In Chiado: Too Many People!

Unable to move in this dense crowd (picture 13)! And I couldn’t stand people to walk on my new Skechers Go Walk! Honestly I’m not a big fan of the look of these shoes (and I can’t understand why they are the big trend of this fall/winter)! But I love their incredible comfort: the soleplate takes the shape of the foot!  A bless for this kind of night out (review in a future post)!

Bravely I went down to Santini, but looking at the line, I quickly forgot to have an ice cream! A nightmare to walk back to Bairro Alto, some great live Cuban music (picture 14) … How can people go shopping in these conditions?
