Why Are New Shoes So Motivating?

This post was sponsored by Reebok as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own.

I was talking to my friend recently about finding exercise motivation when you reeeaalllly don’t feel like it. I mentioned that something that always puts a pep in my step is a pair of new sneakers or a fresh workout outfit. She told me she hadn’t upgraded her sneakers in a few years and hadn’t experienced this New Shoes Joy™ before. I awwww’d in sympathy — what else could I do? A few weeks later she went shopping, got a new pair of sneakers, and texted me excitedly to say I was right and that they had motivated her to have a great workout. Yay!

To be honest, I hadn’t experienced New Shoes Joy™ for quite a while either. Because of my sustainability challenge this year, I’m not allowing myself to purchase new clothes or shoes, so I’ve been making do with the (plenty of) pairs I already have. But as a self-professed shoe freak, I was a little sad about it. Enter my new pair of Reebok Trilux. They were sent to me for free for review and fall under the “gift loophole” in my no-new-stuff challenge!

My pair of Reebok Trilux is in the black and gray colorway, and they’re perfect with the athleisure outfits I like to wear while I run errands. The pop of shiny gold in the laces gives them a little je ne sais quoi that my other pairs of casual shoes don’t have.

Although they’re stylish and perfect for casual wear, I couldn’t resist but to also wear them to the gym. They held up great through the walking lunges you see below!

These will be the sneakers I bring with me on my upcoming trip to a resort in Cancun. Why? Because they’re cute enough to wear with casual summer looks AND durable enough for a few gym workouts. I love a multipurpose shoe when I travel because the less space I take up in my luggage with shoes, the better.

Expect to see these bad boys show up in some future posts as I recap my Cancun trip! The trip is a big deal for me for multiple reasons…not the least of which being that it’s a celebration of my recent 30th birthday. Yep, 30.

And if you want to pick up a pair of Reebok Trilux of your very own, you can find them at Academy online or at the Academy store near you. Find your nearest Academy location here!
