So I haven’t really blogged much about what it was like for me to go to BlogHer ’11. It was my first blogging conference and I have to say that I truly enjoyed it. I wasn’t able to attend as many sessions as I would have liked because I was wearing Luna Pie most of the time and she was fine when I was walking around, but not so much when I stood or sat still.
The best part of the experience for me was meeting other bloggers. So much fun. I was able to recognize some of them, but since I didn’t wear my paper bag to the conference I was pretty incognito. You see how this paper bag serves me well? It keeps me in hiding when I wear it and when I don’t wear it no one knows who I am.
Now let me tell you about the Expo Hall. Wow! It was packed with booths and goodies of all kinds. I saw products that I was familiar with and some that aren’t even on the market yet. In hindsight because I was wearing a 6 month old most of the time, I probably should have just gotten an Expo Hall pass instead of a full conference pass. Live and learn.
One of my favorite booths was Dr. Scholl’s. I’ve been a fan of Dr. Scholl’s ever since I was in first grade and got my first pair of Dr. Scholl’s Original Exercise Sandals. I loved them so much and somehow I was able to run and jump rope in them. Even now I own pairs in red and blue.
The folks at Dr. Scholl’s sent me on my merry way with a pair of Fast Flats.
They are these cute ballet slipper looking flats that come in a snazzy gold wristlet carrying case. They are rollable, compact, and comfy. You can keep them in your purse or car and switch out of your “not so comfy, but cute” party or work shoes.
Once I got back home, Dr. Scholl’s got in touch and said they would like to give away 3 pairs of Fast Flats to my readers, one in each of the following sizes: 5-6, 7-8, and 9-10.
But that’s not all, since not all of my readers are of the female persuasion, they are also giving away one pair of Custom Fit Orthotics.
The winner of the Custom Fit Orthotics will need to get fitted at a kiosk – located nationally. You can type your zip code in here to find a kiosk near you.

I shall look out for these!
I’m going to have to check out these fast flats (size 7) as I keep a pair of flip flops in the car because I’m like a little kid with my favorite pairs of shoes (they’re sooo worn in and comfortable but look like they might fall apart, any day now). Need the backup of something, for now flip flops. These would be so much better. Haven’t tried their specialty ortho inserts but love “regular” inserts for when I have to go to an office and be on my feet most of the day.
Good to hear you enjoyed teh conference – I want to hear more (ie so worth the drive you’d do it again next year? I considered but decided not to this year).
If it was within driving distance again next year, yes I would definitely go. However, it is in N.Y. next year so we’ll see what happens.
I need some! I am getting old!!! Size 6.
I would like the Fast Flats in 7-8

3. Size 5-6 please!
What a terrific idea. I, too, loved my Dr. Scholl’s way back when. I had the navy and the red pair as well.
I would recognise you from what you are wearing!:) Sounds fun to go to a Blogger conference. Is it something that someday I could go to?
Can you put me in both drawings? I’m a size 5/6…..on the smaller size of 5/6 so hopefully they fit if I win them.

Oh nice.. I’m looking for a pair of shoes I can actually wear these days.. having sprained my ankle/foot/leg very badly at the end of July. So far, I can only manage flipflops but these look doable. Thanks for doing the giveaway. Oh.. the 9-10, please.
Very nice ….I could use these little slippers in a size 7/8.
I would love the flats in size 9-10
