Thank you tieks for the precious pink ballet flats! I will wear them proudly in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month! I have been a die hard "tieks fan" since 2011! Click Here to read a blog post I wrote about tieks in 2011!!! I remember the first time I found tieks on Facebook. They had less than 2,000 followers! Wow! That has certainly changed. I posted about tieks here. Once my original tieks arrived I posted a second post about my comfy tieks. Click here to read the second post! tieks are my shoes of choice when I want comfort with style. I must be honest and tell you....I adore tieks! If you don't own a pair, what are you waiting for? Once you get your tieks you will wonder what you were waiting for. They are bar none the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. I still wear my first pair! As a matter of fact, I have them on now!

tieks is working with the American Cancer Society to help educate women about early prevention and support women affected by the disease. Did you know that -
- -In the U.S., 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime.
- -Every 19 seconds, someone in the world is diagnosed with breast cancer.
- -Every 15 minutes, a woman dies of breast cancer in the U.S.
- -When breast cancer is detected early in the localized stage, the 5 year
- survival rate is over 95%.
- -It has been estimated that if every woman over the age of 50 had her yearly mammogram, breast cancer deaths in this age group would drop by 25% or more.
- Ways to increase your chance for early detection:
tieks donates to breast cancer research, and various charities year-round and is asking their customers to join them in wearing ballerina pink tieks this month to bring awareness to breast cancer!
(Disclosure: I was sent a pair of pink Tieks but all opinions are my own. Especially since I bought
my first few pairs of tieks and have been wearing them since 2011!)
I have not tried these yet Lisa, and am so excited to experience the comfort of Tieks and the great cause!
