Come join us for our own special “Earth” day in Sydney. Lose your foot pain and maybe win free shoes

At Children of the Revolution we have spent almost 20 years sourcing footwear that promotes healthy feet and full body wellbeing.  At least 80% of all Australians will at some time, experience significant foot and leg pain. Far from being a trivial complaint, painful feet can impact on all aspects of daily life.

The good news is that many painful foot conditions can be prevented or significantly reduced by taking a holistic approach to proper foot care.  This includes wearing properly fitted quality footwear,  alternating the shoes you wear and taking care of the feet themselves.

During May, we’d like to introduce you to Earth Footwear, an innovative company that has the same philosophy as us. They create stylish shoes that engages full body balance and posture to keep feet comfortable and well supported. Earth Footwear’s unique sole unit puts the foot at a slight 3.7° incline positioning the toes higher than the heels, while at the same time including full anatomical arch support and patented BioFoam cushioning that provides exceptional comfort.  The slight incline re-distributes body weight – strengthening, toning and engaging muscles throughout the body.  Within about 20 seconds of trying on a pair of Earth shoes you will feel your head straighten, your shoulders roll back, your core muscles activate (as your spine and pelvis aligns), and your hamstring, quad, and calf muscles engage.

And if that wasn’t enough to convince you that Earth Footwear is one of the most innovative shoe companies around they are also environmentally-considerate, using 70% recycled content in the manufacturing process of their shoes and also cater to Vegans, with a full range of Animal friendly shoes!

Can you believe all of this is rolled into a pair of shoes? We can and so would like to invite you to join us for organic wine and nibbles in our Sydney store for our own special ‘EARTH DAY’! Come and meet our Fabulous Sally Mcgregor and Barry from Earth footwear discussing the holistic health benefit of these amazing shoes in-store. Continued…

More Naturalizer. This time a heeled ankle boot. We have it in black leather and grey suede (which bizarrely is kind of brown).

Naturalizer Knightly in our Brisbane store – who doesn’t need a pair of boots in the colour of “dark venom”?

A great ankle boot with a square toe and a wedge heel. $160.

Naturalizer uses these words to describe their shoes: ”Natural, Comfortable, Beautiful, Style, Feminine.

Here’s how they manage to make them so comfortable.

  • the inner sole is designed to flex
  • they use lightweight outer soles to keep the shoe light
  • they use a stable heel and roomy toe
  • they add extra cushioning under the ball and heel of the foot
  • they add breathable linings to keep the foot cool

More boots – this time one from Sydney

These Naya Keeleys are pretty gorgeous as well. We have them in brown suede and black suede. They are $350. And remember we are more than happy to move our shoes around between stores so if you love these and happen to live in Brisbane, we can definitely work with it. Just let us know.

We’ve blogged about Naya before but here’s a bit more about the brand’s philosophy.

Our Story

Naya was born from the belief that shoes should be beautiful on your feet, soft on your step and gentle on the environment. Because you should never have to choose between what looks good, what feels good and what is good for you and for the earth.

Naya means renewal and this inspires and guides us in everything we do to create shoes that:

  • Renew your spirit with expressive, feminine style
  • Renew your body with exceptionally soft comfort
  • Renew the earth with environmentally-thoughtful designs

You will wear Naya because they are beautiful, and you will love them because they are good for your body, spirit and the earth.

Here’s another cool shoe in our Brisbane store

Miz Mooz started off life as a private label brand carried in a small chain of stores in New York and San Fransisco. In the next  3 years, Miz Mooz created a huge buzz in the shoe industry and other boutiques started to take notice. They can now be found all over America and have just moved into Australia. They are handmade, fun and very funky. This style is called Histeric and has a classic old-style charm.

Here’s a random, non shoe related post.

Absolutely no reason that we should put this post in but here’s what we think is a great company doing great things. It is called Food Connect and is now operating in both Brisbane and Sydney. Here’s how it works…

At Food Connect we all share the risk. Our farmers jump out of bed excited, city folk get great produce, and that creates real community.

Based on the principles of Community Supported Agriculture, our delicious, seasonal produce comes from local farmers living within a short radius of our city Homestead, packed into boxes, and collected by our subscribers from a network of City Cousin pick-up points.

  • Our delicious seasonal food is sourced from local farmers
  • The harvest is delivered fresh to the Food Connect Homestead each week by the farmers and small freight companies.
  • We pack it into various sizes of fruit and veggie boxes. For products and prices at your nearest Food Connect Homestead, just click on the maps.
  • The boxes and yummy ‘extra’ products are delivered to our network of City Cousins (families, schools or community centres)
  • Subscribers collect their boxes from their local City Cousin and get the chance to meet like-minded neighbours for a chat.

Once you become a Food Connect Subscriber, you can view your account balance, change orders and renew your subscription online (online ordering coming to Adelaide soon). We also organise regular farm tours to connect city folk with their fantastic growers.

And as a special bonus for our Sydney customers, there is a competition going on there where you can get free fruit and veg for a month!
