JD Sports Nike Blazers Review

About three weeks ago I wrote a post about the Nike Blazers that I had received from JD Sports and what exactly was in the box.

I have been wearing them quite a bit since receiving them, so I thought it was about time that I told you all exactly what I think about them down to the look, comfort and wear of them.

JD sports stock a big range of Nike sportswear but the Blazers were something I have been lusting over for a while. With me having such small feet, I was actually able to choose a pair from their Junior range. The grey and pink foil option that I went for costs a very reasonable £47.

These trainers are made with a grey suede upper and a white vulcanised midsole. The added bright pink foil signature swoosh tick makes them pop and the bright pink laces add that finishing touch. Looking stylish yet fun.

The Blazers themselves were originally released as a basketball shoe in 1972 and they are that iconic that the design has never changed.

I am a size 4 and I have to say these are very true to size. Once on they are super comfy, snug without being too tight. I think they are slightly wider than some trainers so would appeal to a wider range of people.

I did find getting them on initially slightly tricky, I think more because they come higher up the leg than most trainers. So I did have to loosen the laces quite a bit to be able to place my foot in without squeezing them on. However once on for the first time, as I tend to keep my laces lose anyway, I found it very simple to put on and off.

I have walked around these for hours at a time and not once have they given me blisters. I was actually expecting them to rub around my ankles for the first few times but the soft material has meant that they have remained comfortable at all times. 

These lovely trainers even had the misfortune of getting caught out in the rain on a couple of ocassions and they really held up well. No soggy feet for me and the material dried without leaving any marks.

I think what really won it for me was the the pink swoosh and laces matched my favourite scarf, all you ladies know accessories are a must!!!

Overall I really would definitely recommend these trainers. They seem fairly hard wearing, extremely comfortable to wear and not overly expensive to purchase. As with other Nike products, you can tell these are made to highest quality and I don't think they would ever go out of fashion.

The Shoe Collection Begins

My lovely little Layla has now been walking independently for just over a month, she no longer wobbles around like shes a little bit tipsy. Now she is steady and gaining more speed every day, I don't think it will be long before she is literally running circles around me.

With the colder months creeping up on us, I'm thinking being bare foot all the time isn't such a good idea, so I decided it was time to get Layla her first ever pair of shoes.

It was interesting to find out what size she was compared to what her sister's were when they got their first shoes. Well all my other daughters got their first shoes when they were eleven months old, baring in mind they all started walking at 10 months old. My eldest two were a size 3H and my second youngest was a 2.5G.

My tiny baby at just over thirteen months old has feet that measure 3F, well technically 2.5 but you need to leave room in the shoe. I think she is going to stay the dinky one of the family, more like her nannie. My mum still only wears size 2 shoes!!

Below is a picture of her brand new shoes, they just had to be pink :) All of my children have had Start Rite shoes as their first ever pair of shoes. I love the flexibility of them and how easy they are to put on.

I can't get over just how grown up Layla is looking these days, just look at her strutting her stuff below.

It won't be long til she has a shoe collection as big as her sister's and mummy, think we may need to invest in another cupboard to put them all in ;)

So what age were your kids when they got their first ever pair of shoes?? Can you remember what size they were and what kind you bought??
