I am SO, so excited to pop in today with a little belated birthday treat… for you! Yes, I’m a week late to my own party, but trust me, it’s worth the wait!
As teachers, we are on our feet all day long. Sit down? What does that even mean?? Who has the time?! For us, the right shoe can mean the difference between sore tootsies and happy feet.
I am always on the hunt for the perfect work shoe. I found THE shoe once, six years ago. I bought two pairs for a pretty penny, and I tell you it was well worth the money! I pretty much alternated them every day for six years, and wore them ’til they couldn’t be worn anymore. I recently started a new shoe search, and that’s how I stumbled upon Tieks.
Have you heard of Tieks? I’ve been told they are the most versatile designer flats in the world. They are made out of fine Italian leather. They’re every day ballet flats that you can fold up and pop in your purse, if you so desire!
And, Oprah likes them!
Tieks come in prints, patents, classics, and even a vegan line. There are 48 different colors to choose from {if I counted correctly}.
The starting price is a little hefty at $175, but…
…or the classroom 🙂
I was lucky enough to receive a $100 gift card towards the purchase of my first pair of Tieks, and I cannot wait to place my order! Even better news? I get to go shopping with a friend– one of my Cupcake followers– because I am also giving away a $100 gift card!!!
Yes, the gift card comes in an *adorable* mini Tieks box!
WOOHOO!!!!
To enter for your chance to win, just use the Rafflecopter below!! I offered eight different options so you can have eight chances to win this AMAZING prize!
This feet-tastic giveaway {haha} will end on Wednesday, October 16th.
It'd be so hard to decide! Probably a bright cheery color to get me through a rough CLE winter!
So many choices! Knowing me I would end up with black or grey 🙂
Love all the colors, but I would probably get Matte Black since I would wear them the most.
Belated Happy Birthday!
I have two pairs of Tieks and they feel like slippers! Hope you enjoyed your day!
Thanks for the fun contest.
🙂
Chocolate brown please!
Probably BLACK!
Would love to try these!
Metallic Pewter!!!

These are adorable! I would love the Mint ones to wear to my June wedding and then continue wearing them through the next school year!
You're really going to make me CHOOSE!?!?!?! REALLY?!?!!? I'll take one of each! HA. In my heart of hearts, I'd choose a bright, cheery and FUN color. But the practical side of me, would actually purchase a versatile color that would go with everything.
Thanks for this awesome opportunity and happy birthday, sweet bloggy friend!

I would love to win! I would probably go for the black, navy, or grey, but love the bright colors, too!
All the colors are so adorable, but I would probably choose black, blue, or purple.
I would get boring (but matches almost everything) black first. I would love to hear your thoughts about these shoes after you wear for a bit.
I would have to say black so I could wear them forever with everything! 🙂
If I could get a pair of Tieks… I'm torn, between matte black (because a lot of what I wear goes with black) or the Pop Pink!
I would choose either Metallic Gold or Fuschia!
