Contest: Win A Pair Of Flexi Flats 30 : 07 : 10

If you’re anything like us at Calgary Fashion, we know you have experienced the tired, throbbing,aching, blistery sensation that goes hand in hand after a stellar night of partying, walking or working for too long in our pretty heels.

Don’t let sore feet hold you back – kick off those D-Squared Open Toe Frank N Furter Pumps and slip on the Flexi Flats, a new revolutionary shoe to keep the tears at bay!

We’ve got five great pairs of the Flexi Flats to give away to our readers this month!

The extremely compact little shoes comes folded up in a small pouch which ingeniously converts into a shoulder bag for safely transporting your precious heels.

These nifty flats are available in silver, pink and black to perfectly compliment any outfit. They come in four sizes – small (5-6), medium (7-8), large (9-10) and XL (11-12) and are flexible and stretchy enough to fit just about any foot.

Good Luck!
