Today: Get it? Good.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]I’ve been on a major shoe kick lately. I think I am one pair away from having a problem. Cross trainers, running shoes, and other gear always motivate me to get out there and get after it, though… so I suppose there are worse obsessions. Like Cheetos, for example (they’re not on the FODMAP diet). Or cats. Unless you like cats, obviously.
After touring Reebok Headquarters last month and learning about the design and production process, I couldn’t wait to create my own pair. I went online and played around a bit with customization options on the RealFlex Run, and a few weeks later…
Voila! My own custom RealFlex Runs in the punchiest of colors. I may be strictly black-on-black when it comes to work attire, but for workouts? All bets are off. The more color, the better.
The pricing was comparable to other running shoes, and the wait for production and shipping wasn’t nearly as long as I expected. My favorite part? The option to include text at the heel.
What could be better during a run or workout than a little motivation nipping at your heels?

Love a great pair of running shoes. I’m with you on “being one pair away” — but this isn’t the pair. Maybe the next ones… or the next ones…

LOVE them, and obsessed is kind of a strong word, don’t you think? I have two pairs in my car right now (you never know when a random run might happen), two in my front closet, one by the front door, and a couple in my room. Not obsessed, just a fan of variety. So long as my husband doesn’t see them all and do the math, I think I’m in the clear, right? 😉
Seriously digging the personalized heels. Get it. Yeahhh, buddy!

Love them! Very cool 🙂
How do you find the sole technology? They remind me a bit of the Nike Free Runs – which I’ve tried on instore but haven’t run in outside. I’m very curious about them but I need to get over my own Saucony and Vibram addiction before I try any more shoes!
