How cute are these shoes?!
I am in love – LOVE – with my new Freewaters and, most of all, with the fact that each pair provides clean drinking water to those in need.
Freewaters is a great brand with a casual, California vibe – not surprising since its two young founders studied together at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena and opened their own studio amidst the redwoods in the Bay Area.
Their shoes are so me!
This particular style, appropriately named Snuggle Bug, is so comfy cozy, it’s like a pair of slippers you can wear anywhere. It’s got stretch fit elastic at the tongue and heel to create a really custom fit. (Dear Eli and Martin, can you please make jeans, too?)
The signature Freewaters Super Pillow Insole has a faux fur lining which makes my feet feel like they are literally being snuggled, and the medial and lateral arch support is especially welcome at my age – and rare in casual shoes like these.
These are ideal shoes for travel because they smush easily into a carry-on yet they’re sturdy enough to withstand long days of sightseeing. They also come with a stress-free limited lifetime warranty. Don’t I look stress-free hanging out at the Hotel Maya in Long Beach?
I love the soft cotton canvas and the ethnic print, with the bold hot pink and gray striped lining. And I love the surprise of the two different tags on the back of each shoe, one bearing the message, “Do some good.”
That’s what you’re doing just by buying these shoes. I’m a big believer in supporting companies that give back, and Freewaters is all about that. For every pair of shoes you buy, money goes toward digging wells in remote villages where people are dying from lack of clean water.
So shop away, knowing you’re making a difference in people’s lives. I’ve got my eye on the Songbird Boot and the Harlee, and think my husband would happily live in Escape Artist.
I’m thinking the person who came up with the expression, “Putting your best foot forward,” must have been wearing Freewaters.

They are super cute. I have a competitor’s brand that are very similar and I love them SO much, so I will have to grab a pair of these, too!

I could use a pair of these. Love slip on cute and comfy shoes. Def need some.

These shoes hit all my hot buttons. I am always thrilled to be able to allow my core values to drive how I spend my money! I am definitely getting a pair of the (yes very cute) shoes! Thanks for sharing Lois!

Those are really cute! They look mighty comfy too! I love shoes so I need to give them a try!
Rena McDaniel says
Oh! These look so comfortable. I could wear them everyday. I hadn’t heard of these before but comfortable shoes are my best friends. I have RA and it is mostly in my feet so comfortable shoes are a “have to.”

Lisa @ Grandma's Briefs says
I have a difficult time finding shoes that make my feet happy. Gee whiz, though, these look mighty comfy. More like slippers than shoes. I think I need to try a pair… or three.

I love these shoes and really love what they “STAND” for. See what I did there! 🙂

Oh wow, these are really cute and they definitely look comfy. And the company gives part of their profits to charity? I seriously am going online now to rider a pair.
Lesley says
Oh wow those look really comfortable. I love the style too, very universal, would look good with just about any outfit I have.
Ines Roe says
Comfortable casual shoes are so hard for me to find. I have a dozen of them that after I buy them they turn out not to be comfortable. These look that they might not fit that category. I will have to try them. I was particularly intrigued by medial and lateral arch support which I need! Thanks for the resource.
Ellen Dolgen says
Nothing more comfy than a cotton canvas shoe! I love this print, too!
Kristen from The Road to Domestication says
I like that they’re furry on the inside…and for a good cause makes them even better!
Jennifer Williams says
I love those, they look so comfortable. I love that they also give back. I will see if I can find a pair to order, might have to wait until Spring to wear them but that gives me something to look forward to.

They remind me of TOMS & look just as comfy. I love that it helps a great cause, too!

I so love companies that gives back and there are so many companies that do that right now. They’re the best ones to buy from and this one is no exception. Cute shoes too!

These are my kind of shoes. Comfortable but cute. I love those boots that you picked out too. Those are so cute.
