Back to School means NEW SHOES!!!

Yes, this is the time of year when we all stock up on new shoes to send our growing kids into the next grade of school.

And, it’s not usually only one pair of shoes. I find that each of my girls need a couple pairs of shoes and boots to stock up for the year.

So I love that Rack Room Shoes has it’s everyday “Buy One Get One 50% Off” promotion on all styles!

And the Rack Room Rewards® program allows customers simple, instant savings on shoes for the family. Some of the member’s only perks include exclusive discounts, coupons, and $15 in rewards for every $200 spent on the retailer’s extensive offering.

Rack Room Shoes has all the top brands and trendy selection that my kids (and I) want for our Back to School shopping. They’ve got everything we need… for comfort, dress, casual and athletics.

This year our family’s top picks included runners from Skechers, Vans, Converse and Nike.

My girls, Julia and Sophia, have been wearing Skechers back to school ever since they first stepped on a playground. So I wasn’t surprised when they both picked out sweet pink Skechers.

Little Sophia loves hers to light up, so she selected Skechers S-Lights.

Julia says her Skechers Bizzy Bounce make her run extra fast.

Janice’s daughter Olivia likes to add some rockstar style to her wardrobe and picked these awesome hot pink Converse All Star Ox.

Janice’s boy, Jackson, has hit his teen years and is oh-so-cool in his new Vans.

And we can’t forget about us busy moms.

Racing around trying to get these kids to school on time calls for new runners, so I picked Nike Revolution 2. After I drop off the kids at school, I try to go for a power-walk or if I’m really motivated… hit the gym. (I’ll be trying hard to do the latter as often as possible this year.)

Back to School Shoes That Fit

This Back to School season, Rack Room Shoes is raising funds for families in need through their annual Shoes That Fit campaign to provide new shoes to at-risk children to start the school year.

Rack Room Shoes makes it easy for shoppers to make a difference in their communities by allowing customers to donate to Shoes That Fit at the register upon check out in-store, or online.

100% of the donations will be distributed in the local area where the shoes were purchased.
Local school liaisons will identify children needing new footwear in the area and supply them with new shoes – so all of the donations benefit students right in your community.
To amplify the impact of customer donations, Rack Room Shoes has committed to match 100% of all donations raised, up to $300,000.
Every year, children head back to school with ill-fitting or damaged shoes because they don’t have any other option. Even worse, some children aren’t able to attend school because they have no shoes at all – this program combats that issue.
Over the last two years, Rack Room Shoes has donated more than $1 million to Shoes That Fit through the annual fundraiser.
