We all know how it goes: you have a child in your twenties and you’re pretty sure you’ve got the whole stylish mum look nailed and you plod along doing quite well and then your little girl somehow manages to overtake you in the style stakes. Yup it happens and for me the biggest sign that I was seriously lagging was when Boo’s footwear collection in particular trainers left mine looking rather naff. Footlocker kindly sent us a pair of Nike trainers each to try and even out the Mummy and Boo style off.
I’ve had sneaker fever for a long time, as a girl who LOVES high heels but cannot for all the tea in china walk more than ten metres without looking like a baby rhino on stilts, it’s all about the statement trainers and flats. Maybe that’s why I’ve always been into finding quirky and pretty out there designs for Boo. From her first pair of Converse she’s loved picking out colours and designs and when I sat her down and let her have complete control over which style to order from the Footlocker website there as no mistaking her absolute joy; she felt such a big girl and it’s no surprise that she picked out this bright pink pair of Nike Roshe Ones – because when you’re Boo and 4 all you think is…pink!
When it came to my choice, I kept it classic and chose the Nike Free 5.0 2015 edition in black; what can I say I like my trainers to be luridly loud (in a good way) or versatile and anonymous and Nike really are the superior fit for me when it comes to comfort and support. But it’s not all about style, believe it or not trainers have a base function: to support us when we’re active and Boo and I thought the best place to put our new sneaks to the test was on our recent trip to Alicante.
#operationyummymummy is not always easy so the getting the opportunity to bank some road miles in the sun was too good an opportunity to miss; and well Boo likes to be like me, so hers got packed too.
It was great to feel the sun on my face while I worked our, the warm weather is such a great motivator. Boo loved the freedom to move while wearing her Nike Roshes and their durable enough to withstand pretty much anything she can think of throwing at them, plus they give her bounce!
Our holiday may be over, but sneaker fever is here to stay and thanks to Footlocker we’re spoilt for choice when it comes to picking out the hottest kicks for Mummy and Boo, thanks guys!
Disclosure: We were sent our trainers by Footlocker for the purpose of this review. All opinions are 100% honest.
I love that you have matching trainers – so cool and cute at the same time! x
