Thanks to Skechers for sponsoring today’s discussion on this very important topic.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
There is pink everywhere. When I see all this pink I don’t necessarily think of breast cancer. Instead I think of my grandma Lily. I lost by amazing grandma to breast cancer. It’s actually hard for me to even type this even after all these years. I think it’s important to keep awareness going about this horrible disease, but even more important to help end breast cancer. I am so happy that I found a company like Skechers that feels the same way and is helping to end breast cancer with a special new collection of footwear.
I love everything about these walking shoes.
Even the box made me happy! I feel like when I wear them I’m telling others that lost a loved one like I did or who have battled or continue to battle breast cancer that they are not alone. We are all in this together and we all want a cure right now. I’m proud to walk and run {depending on the day, just keeping it real} in Skechers shoes because I want to end breast cancer forever.
Having a great shoe motivates my daily healthy living practice.
Skechers shoes fulfill my must-haves for supportive and comfortable footwear. Plus I love the style and way they look! I was so excited for my new Skechers GOwalk 2 Flash – Awareness shoes to arrive! They are the lightest shoes I’ve ever worn and the the cushion is amazing.
Skechers GOwalk 2 Flash – Awareness ($69)
Skechers has a full collection of of performance shoes to support breast cancer awareness. See them all here.

These shoes are adorable. I love their look, and I love the cause they support.
Great shoe and a great cause!
My mom is a breast cancer survivor. So I love any company that is doing something to battle this disease.
What a great cause they are supporting. The colors look amazing!
What an awesome campaign Sketchers is doing. I know so many people who had breast cancer unfortunately!
What a wonderful cause! Love the pink!
Love that they are supporting the cause! The grey and pink are subtle enough too!
Great shoes and a great cause too. Thanks for sharing.
These are super cute shoes. I wish that I was included in this campaign. My mother in law is a breast cancer survivor. 😉
Way to go Sketchers! I love their running shoe and now I have to get me a pair. This is great to support my friends and to give another women another birthday!
I love hearing about companies supporting a good cause. I’ve never tried Sketchers. The bottom pattern looks very interesting!
Cute shoes and a great cause! I will have to check these out for getting back into my routine!
I love the color combination of these shoes. They also look comfortable and like they would have good arch support in them.
Those are good looking shoes but my faith in these cancer foundations is waning. I’m beginning to think they’re in it for the money rather than the cure.
Skechers is always the best brand for rubber shoes for us. It’s great to know that they are supporting a good cause that is breast cancer awareness.
I need a new pair of sneakers and these look like a winner. I like the Go Sockless feature, they’re cute and support a good cause.
I love what Skechers is doing to support breast cancer awareness. Love their shoes too!
I love that it has the pink ribbon on the back! What a great company! They’ve also donated shoes to African children in need. Its important for companies like this one to give back.
Such a cute shoe for such a wonderful cause. Love the pink and gray.
I love it when big name companies make it a priority to help with very worth causes. And I love the pink shoes. I think most of us have been affected by braest cancer in some way.
beautiful shoe for a beautiful cause!
Props for Sketchers for supporting a good cause. I haven’t owned a pair of Sketchers, but it seems to me that they’re really doing a lot of innovation with their products know and it gives people ( even me ) reasons to check them out soon.
I’d be proud to wear those shoes too. Kudos to Skechers for working towards a cure for such a great cause.
I have been wearing sketchers since I was a teen (I am in my 30’s now) I love Sketchers.
Great that Sketchers is supporting the efforts to end breast cancer! Seems perfect for them, especially as in October there are so many walks/runs for breast cancer.
I’m always glad to see a big company like this supporting a great cause. Thanks, Sketchers!
I bet my mom would love these sketchers! Thanks for sharing
Love Skechers, love the shoes, love the cause. What an inspiration to get out and run!
Women’s Skechers GOrun Sprint would be the pair i would like to try first. I love the style and color.
I’m so glad they are behind a great cause! Those look great to use on my next 5k! LOVE THEM!
I love sketchers! They are my all time favorite shoe brand 🙂
I totally love these shoes and the style of them. The grips play a big part in the shoes I get and these have amazing grips. Thanks for sharing..
What a great campaign and such a worthy cause! The shoes are cute too!
I really like all the little pink details on this shoe. I love that it donates to a great cause even more!
OMG, pink Skechers. I’m totally diggin’ this one! And great cause too!
Sketchers are the best shoes! I love that they also support breast cancer research. I’m going to run out and get me another pair. Thanks for spreading the word about these.
Those are so cute – definitely my style! I have always been a fan of Skechers.
Thank you! I need new sneakers and this seems to be the one I will invest in.
I’m so happy that so many companies are bringing awareness to breast cancer. I actually would not have thought of Sketchers so this is a really nice surprise. I love the look on those running shoes, especially with that pink little bow!
Okay, now I love Sketchers just a little more! Those shoes are fabulous… pink and cause worthy but stylish as well. What a great way to show support by wearing them as well.
I really like the look of all the awareness shoes. The GOrun 3 that I’m reviewing are so lightweight and comfortable.
