Kuru Footwear calls itself the World's Most Anatomical Active Footwear.
This is so important. There's nothing worse than planning a walking tour of the town -- or a long day at Disney World -- and finding that your feet hurt after the first half hour. It can ruin a good day and the entire vacation. TravelingMom wants to help. We're giving away one pair of Kuru Shoes -- any pair you choose from the Kuru Footwear online store, even the Kuru Travel Shoes -- to a lucky winner. I am partial to these Kruzr II shoes, myself. Too bad they don't have a line of children's shoes too. It would be great to have an entire vacation with the kids without one of them complaining there was too much walking required.
Some examples of what they do:
How you can win:
Check out Kuru Footwear and look at what they offer. I am partial to these Kruzr II shoes, myself. After you’ve looked around a bit, come back here and tell me your favorite shoe and color.
Who is eligible:
You must have a US or Canadian mailing address. You don't have to be a blogger to win, just supply a valid e-mail address.
When the giveaway ends:
Friday, July 17, 2009. I'll e-mail the winner and post the results at the top of this page. If the winner doesn't respond within four days, a new winner will be drawn.
Special offer for TravelingMom readers:
TravelingMom.com readers will receive 10% off their entire purchase from Kuru Footwear with promotional code TravelingMom15.
