The Willow Knit Adventures

My mom is one of the most energetic people I know. She raised my sister and me in the aerobics, Jane Fonda era and has always stayed active. She never went to a gym regularly and starve herself but she definitely looks fabulous now in her 70’s. She is also very fashionable and one of the hardest people to shop for. My mom often complains about style, comfort, design and price point of what’s out there. There is a huge gap in the fashion market for 40+ we believe. We can’t wear things we use to because of what we are doing day to day. And most of the priorities have changed in what we spend our money on. We jumped at the chance review the greenReActives brand – eco-friendly footwear that’s part shoe, part slipper.  These super-comfy, versatile, indoor-outdoor shoes are easy to slide onto your feet to run the kids to school or slip into an overnight bag for a summer adventure. The soft, knit uppers are made with recycled plastic bottles, recycled moisture-wicking lining, and a shock-absorbing footbed produced with compostable, sugarcane-based EVA. Not only are greenReActives comfortable and supportive, but also they don’t compromise style, with all sorts of clogs, lace-ups, and ankle boots that convert to clogs in flyknit, suede, berber and more.

I challenged her to check out Green ReActives, a company that boasts of 3 styles of sleek, cool-looking casual shoes that deliver all the comfort of our slippers. Shoes that feel great whether you’re relaxing at home, or getting active – running out to meet friends or pick up dinner. Relaxed and active in the same shoe.

She choose the Willow Knit Ankle Boot greenReActives® and we had a day of adventure testing them out! Not only did this style catch her eye, but it was also everything it promised. We enjoyed the day at the Calgary zoo and beautiful weather.
