Back to School with Famous Footwear BOGO 1/2 OFF #MyVictory

This past weekend I was fortunate enough to be invited to an awesome blogger event at Famous Footwear hosted by Krystyn a fellow blogger. The event was held at one of Famous Footwear newest stores located at The Avenues at East Cobb. They invited us all there to allow us to experience their family- friendly store and to help spread the word about the BOGO 1/2 Off sale that will be running until September 14th. 

Immediately when you enter the store you'll notice the ease of the layout from the wide aisles to the prominent signage, as a mother these things are important since my motto when shopping with the kids is to get in and get out as quick as possible. 

Since the point of this shopping experience was to become more familiar with Famous Footwear I left the little ones at home. Seeing howI was free of the stress of monitoring my sidekicks, I was able to really explore and check out the wide variety of shoes, socks and backpacks including their exclusive styles. There were a ton of high end shoes at reasonable prices. You may be surprised what you will find when you visit I sure was.

During our time their not only were we all treated to a gift card to shop the BOGO 1/2 Off sale, but three blogger were selected to do a Shoe Crazy Shopping Spree were they won all the shoes they could grab within a 30 second time frame. It was really exciting to watch, but the most exciting part is that the dollar amount of the merchandise they gathered which was well over $700 was than donated to a charity that supports local communities and families in the Atlanta area!
