Delicate Soles Giveaway
Please Walk Responsibly.
![delicate_soles_logo[1].jpg](http://rhodeygirltests.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/delicate_soles_logo1.jpg){kind=logo}
Can you relate to any of the below?
[1] My feet hurt from working all day and I wish I wasn’t wearing these heels!
[2] I don’t want to ruin my fancy shoes walking home from the bar!
[3] My ski boots/snowboarding boots kill my feet and I wish I had a little pair of shoes to wear around the lodge!
[4] I have to go straight from the beach to an event and can’t wear my flip flops!
[5] Dancing all evening was not good for my feet! I need to get out of these heels asap!
If you are a woman you can definitely relate to one of the above… and many more. I know I have been caught many times with painful feet and a strong desire for a pair of flats immediately.
The solution? High Heels + Sore Toes = Delicate Soles
I was sent a few pairs of Delicate Soles to test out for the owners, and I can tell you first hand these shoes are amazing. Delicate Soles are very thin ballet flats that fit in any purse- rolled up they are smaller than my cell phone. They are so comfortable, and I really enjoy wearing them after a night on the town, or more recently, when hanging around the mountain. When I lived in Florence I used to carry a pair of big, bulky flip flops to change into at the end of a night of dancing. With Delicate Soles, you don’t need to do that! Simply tuck the shoes in their little tote in your purse, and tuck the extra tote in as well. When the night is over, switch shoes and put your heels in the extra tote they provide! The company really did think of everything.
Here is my favorite pair:
All rolled up:
From the website:
*Roll-and-Go: Delicate Soles are designed to be light weight and portable. When rolled
they are about the size of a tube of lipstick, so you can rest assured that your Delicate Soles
will fit comfortably into any handbag. With your Delicate Soles you can baby your feet in
style wherever you may roam.
*Totes: Every pair of Delicate Soles comes with two tantalizing totes: a tote to baby your
Delicate Soles while they are tucked neatly into your favorite purse and a tote for your
strenuous stilettos when your feet have had enough.
*Box: Every delicate sole needs a comfy resting place when not on the go.
*Value: You shouldn’t have to spend an arm and a leg to save a toe. We take great steps to
keep our costs reasonable without sacrificing quality.
*Quality: Every pair of Delicate Soles is made of the highest quality synthetic uppers and
slip resistent rollable soles. Weighing in at just a few ounces, Delicate Soles look and feel
like leather, but without the added weight.
To celebrate the launch of this great company and the launch of the new RhodeyGirl Tests, the company is giving away one pair each to a couple of lucky RhodeyGirl Tests readers! There are many ways to be entered to win. Here is how:

**My new blog design was created with the help of Jenn of www.j3nn.net (who helped me switch servers) and Cory of Zesty Blog Consulting (who did the actual design changes). I have imagined what I wanted my site to look like for a long time now, and I am happy to say that has finally been realized. Thank you Jenn & Cory!

Hi Sabrina! The red are a.d.o.r.a.b.l.e. How cute would they be in the summer with a cute pair of yellow shorts and a t? Thanks for pointing out this fantastic website to your readers.
[Reply]
Hey – great new site design! I need to come out of google reader more often, huh? As for the soles – I really like the starlight silver pair!
[Reply]
My dogs are always BARKIN’ after a night out with my friends in heels. I’ve been wearing far too many flats lately, and at 5’5″ I could really use something that would make wearing heels easier for me!
[Reply]
OMG, I LOVE these shoes and am buying a pair regardless, that silver is fantastic!
[Reply]
I love the Onyx pair of shoes! These look amazing, what a great idea!!
[Reply]
I just love, love the silver ones! Reminds me of the ballet shoes I used to wear growing up. I am a super wimp now, so would love to dive into these after a long day of heels @ work!
[Reply]
As a ballerina, I LOVE LOVE LOVE these shoes! They look so comfy and pretty.
I would love the pink or silver ones!
[Reply]
I so need a pair of the Starlite silver ones! These would be perfect for post bike rides or runs when you need to get out of sweaty shoes and socks and into something comfy fast!
[Reply]
I seriously need a pair of these. I love the silver ones. I sprained my ankle awhile back and after a few hours in heels, my feet (and myself) are complainingggg. But, I am 5′ 3” and need a little height in my life so I can’t give the heels up on a fun night out.
[Reply]
I love the red, but I think the silver would be more practical. I would use them to drive home after a hike. They would let my feet breath and be so light! Just what you need after a hike.
[Reply]
red looks cute for a night out on the town. i hate wearing heels
[Reply]
i work in the hospital so i am on my feet all the time. my go to shoes are danskos but as comfortable as they are, sometimes not appropriate for when i need to be girlie at work wearing dresses…
so needless to say a pair of delicate soles would be a perfect accompaniment for work casuals
[Reply]
I would LOVE to snag a pair of the silver! I live in Charleston, SC which means cobblestone and brick sidewalks that do not agree with my high heels on a night out…or the stumble home! They are so cute and would go with anything!
[Reply]
I love it. Adorable and practical all at once. I love all of the colors, but esp. the black and pink.
[Reply]
I love these! Perfect for NYC. The silver pair is my favorite.
[Reply]
I love the silver pair! So cute and versatile! And, this is such a great idea, I don’t know one woman who wouldn’t love to have a pair of these…you can use them for so many different occasions!
[Reply]
Ciao Sabrina…
Friday Night Feet
I can hear the music and people screaming right now
Lady Gaga and Madonna have me dancing around
Although my wit and smile is ever so light
my pounding moves look like a rough tough boxing fight.
A few drinks later, nooooo the clock strikes 2
My feet are killing me, turning red and blue
Walking back to my car, no valet just isnt fair,
Let ME kick off my heels, with a delicate soles little pair.
[Reply]
I love the silver pair! I am short so I am always wearing high heels but by end of the day, i wish i could just put on slippers and walk back home.
[Reply]
Starlight Silver!! I would love to win a cute pair to wear home after a night of waiting tables or going out!
[Reply]
I am a busy teacher on my feet ALL DAY in my classroom! I desperately need a pair of shoes that are both cute and comfy!!
[Reply]
Silver! Silver! Silver! This would be an absolute lifesaver!!!
[Reply]
After exercising and walking the dog (a feat in itself), I think my feet would love me for these!
[Reply]
I like starlight silver!
[Reply]
I need these because in college I used to be the queen of heels and wore them when I (frequently) went out. Now that I don’t go out as much my feet can’t take it and I always wear flats – my heels are getting quite lonely.
[Reply]
This look great! I would love either the silver or onyx. I am a Philly School teacher and think these would be great in the classroom or even after a night out on the weekend. Thanks for introducing these!
[Reply]
Wow I love the idea so much. I have to say that their website is really un-usable and SLOW. My computer isn’t slow so I don’t think that’s the issue. I only mention it to let them know (I hope they will be reading these comments) that I probably would have gotten so frustrated with the website that I wouldn’t have stuck around to buy the shoes.
ANYWAY-the idea is fabulous! I love the Pixie Dust ones (I’m a sucker for pink). Is it horrible that I would actually like to just use these at home for my new slippers? I can see them being HUGELY useful after I go out too-one problem-I don’t go out anymore!

What a great idea! I am notorious amongst my friends & boyfriend for complaining about my feet yet I always wear uncomfortable (yet beautiful!) shoes out! I have been know to bring flats or flip flops in my purse to change into at the end of the night and before I had the idea to do that, I have been know to just go barefoot walking down the streets of Boston…as well as Providence b/c I (like you!) am also a Friar
If I got them, I would choose the Onyx or Lipstick Red!
[Reply]
I LOVE these! What a great idea! I would love to try the silver ones. I’d love them after a night out in NYC!
[Reply]
Exciting Giveaway! I love the black color shoes! I hate wearing heels since I always get ankle pains. These would be great!
[Reply]
WOW! Where have these been all my life! I’m 5’1 and ALWAYS in heels – can’t wait to pick up a pair!
[Reply]
Well I don’t wear heels because I am already up there in height. I do wear flats and sneakers most of the time. I have an issue with a heel spur and bad knees. Sometimes I feel my age should be doubled or maybe trippled with the amount of aches and pains I have. I think all the pain I feel comes from the way I walk. Unbalanced. I do slouch alot. Mabye these shoes could be my miracle. I would love to add the Onyx to my collection of flats.
[Reply]
Pixie dust! So pretty!
[Reply]
I need them because I work in the sports industry and on game days, after 14 hours of working and moving around, I am beyond ready to ditch the heels!
[Reply]
Firstly, LOVE the new header!
Secondly, these slippers are SOO cute! As a former ballet dancer and hopeful ballerina, I love ballet flats so much. I’m short too, so flats are 90% of my shoes.
I would love a pair of silver ones. I’m always padding around my house as a fellow work-from-homer, and these cute flats would help me look a little more presentable when my husband comes home.
Very happy to pass these along to my Twitter followers, I posted a tweet at suiteapplepie
[Reply]
Lipstick red is awesome! I would love to win a pair of these!
[Reply]
Thanks!
[Reply]
Hey girl! Thank you for the comment, I responded but I wanted to write here as well. I SWEAR, rugelach are so easy! The dough is a piece of cake, just make sure the cream cheese and butter are REALLY cold. That’s really the only thing you have to worry about.
And spread the filling on the dough before you cut it; it just makes it easier, and less mess.
I hope you try your own, they would be perfect for Easter!I hope you and PB have a great weekend.
[Reply]
Wow, awesome giveaway! Those things are genious, wow.
I definately need some sole loving, I have horrible feet (flat) and my feet hurts all day long, it doesn’t help that I don’t have supportive shoes either. And it would also help my boyfriend, who constantly has to massage my feet
his thumbs cramp a lot! due to me. ha
[Reply]
I think I would choose the red just to be a bit wild LOL Those look so comfy. ahhhhh
[Reply]
Well, I don’t wear heels but I am a slipper fiend so these would be a perfect addition to my slipper collection AND they look light enough that I could wear them in Jamaica when we go for hanging out in the room or to run down the path to grab a quick bite. Sounds perfect! Must get a pair.
[Reply]
These are adorable. I don’t have a good end of the night story but I am known as the queen of ballet flats at work so these are perfect. I think the Starlight Silver would be adorable after a night out with the girls. Too bad Christmas is over, these would make terrific stocking stuffers. Thanks for letting us know about them.
[Reply]
Awh! I love these little booties! Totally genius!
I think I’d like the black pair, because they would go with anything!
[Reply]
In all seriousness, these shoes would be perfect for me! My toe nails have actually been bruised and fallen off from some of the shoes I wear. It would be so nice not to have to worry about that!
[Reply]
THis is totally one of those times I’m thinking “why didn’t I think of that!?” GENIOUS!!! I LOVE the silver and the pink…it would be a hard decision! I’m totally buying some if I don’t win!
[Reply]
i want the onyx! these things are brilliant!
[Reply]
I would love the starlight silver! I could really use these since I almost always end up with blisters after a night of wearing shoes with even the slightest bit of heel!
[Reply]
I really love the onyx. I wear a lot of black so this would match perfecly when I need to swap out my heels!!
[Reply]
LOVE the Starlight Silver. Comfy & adorable, can’t beat that!
[Reply]
I am a Nurse Practitioner & I do 24hr shifts. I typically wear my comfy but not so cute Dansko’s. Lately, I’ve even extended my Dansko’s to my casual personal outings in Chicago since I walk EVERYWHERE. I would be more inclined to wear cute heals if I could quickly change them w/ the onset of pressure/blisters.
[Reply]
I love the onyx. They would go with everything.
