Sponsor Profile & Giveaway - CMUK

I am so super excited to tell you about my new sponsor this month CMUK...they make sneakers, really cool sneakers.
I discovered them online before my trip to Japan, and thought they would be ideal for traveling as they pack down to nothing and are really really light. I'm so glad I took them because not only did I save a heap of luggage space, they were super comfortable too.
Here I am wearing my pair in Japan. It was hard to decide which colour to choose, I really love all the colourways, but I decided on my favourite colour, orange (looked cute with the skirt I made for the trip). It was really hot and humid in Japan and I wore them either without socks or with some light sockettes, because they aren't bulky my feet didn't overheat, which was good. The sneakers are designed to feel like you are walking barefoot which is great when you are on your feet all day, and because they don't have bulky insoles, those with orthotics can slide them right in. If they get a bit whiffy, just throw them in the washing machine, so practical!

I could go on and on about how great they are...and did I mention they are really affordable? Yep, under $50, and there is a discount if you buy more than one pair. With kids pairs in the works, the whole family can have a cool pair in every colour!

So be sure to check out the CMUK website, it's quite quirky, and has all the info you'll need to know about the sneakers as well as how to choose your correct size.

It's the first time I have shopped online for a pair of shoes for myself, so naturally I was worried about the fit. But I followed the chart and found that they fit really well. The style is unisex so they have plenty of toe room to wiggle around in.
Now to the really exciting bit, CMUK has kindly offered me 3 pairs of sneakers to giveaway!

All you have to do to be in the running is pop over to the CMUK website and then leave a comment here telling me which colour is your favourite and where you would wear them.

Just one entry per person please, we want every one to have an equal chance. If you are lucky enough to win you can choose your preferred colour and size from the 6 colourways.

Thank you CMUK for being such a great sponsor, as a way to say thanks, be sure to tell your friends about this great Melbourne based company, and pop over and like their facebook page too.
I cant wait to see what everyone's favourite colour will be...

The fine print: competition closes Wednesday 20th July 7pm EST. Winners will be chosen via random.org and announced on the blog on July 21st. Winners will also be notified via email so please make sure you have e-mail enabled on your comments or leave an e-mail address in your comment. Giveaway is open to Australian residents only. Even though we'd love you to become a 'Liker' of our facebook page, entry is NOT conditional on becoming a 'liker' of the My Poppet or CMUK Facebook business pages. This giveaway is not affiliated with facebook in any way.

Oh the orange and sky blue gets my vote, perhaps inspired by your cute pix but I can't go past them .. adorable!

Wow these are awesome. I have to say the red and white. I could certainly rock school drop offs in a pair of these. Can't wait to see what they come up with for kids

Awesome giveaway, thank you Cinti and CMUK. I would have to rock out in red and white and totally be the envy of all my friends.

Orange is my favorite colour too! Its hard to decide between the orange/blue and the red/white (just cos theres something about red shoes!!). I'd prob have to flip a coin if I won...
As I have a 3 year old I spend a lot of time in parks, climbing trees, clamouring over rocks near the harbour looking for crabs, and just generally tramping all over the neighbourhood inspecting bugs and flowers. these sound like just the shoes I need!

Oh wow! I wish I'd known about these a month ago! I just came back from a week in Hong Kong - I did so much walking, I had huge blisters on my feet - it sounds like these would have been awesome!! (must have a pair for my next trip lol!) I do love the purple and white ones - they would be awesome for grocery shopping, and shool pick up!

Definately the blue and the yellow - and I would be living in them so I guess I'd wear them everywhere!!!!

12 July 2011 9:36 am  
Blogger Vic said...

Oh WOW Cinti how gorgeous are they!

I am a sneaker type so they would rarely be off my feet; if they're as comfy as you say I'd even wear them to bed - for "sneaking" in to check on sleeping children or making a quick dash to the bathroom in the cold! ;)

My choice would be the red & white - with yellow laces... Oh I will be dreaming about them tonight.

12 July 2011 9:55 am  
Blogger cheezyk said...

Oh my, I don't think I could choose. The Lime and Purple would be my first choice however the Orange and Sky Blue would go perfectly with the new jacket I've just got for my upcoming European holiday so I think that's what I'd choose if it came down to it.

How fantastic are they! I love the colours.
I can't go past the red ones, they'd look cute with turned up jeans & my rockabilly headband. I'd most likely wear them everywhere... park, market, beach...
Such a lovely giveaway, it's great to hear about local products.

Ive been waiting until pay day to get a pair of these but I am still undecided about the colour. My favs are the orange, purple/white or green/purple. As you can see I'm very indecisive

12 July 2011 10:50 am  
Blogger bec said...

I lurve the red ones, they'd make you go fatser! But lots of people like the red, so I'll be really indecisive and say ANY! I'd be chuffed to win a pair. Ta.

Hello red and white cuteness! Where would I wear them? Um, EVERYWHERE! They do look terribly comfy Cinti. Not sure I'd want to take them off.

12 July 2011 1:18 pm  
Blogger Cherry said...

How do I choose! I think I would go for the orange and sky blue ones, though the red and white comes a close second. I love the fact that they are machine washable so I can wear them without socks and not worry about them getting smelly!

I would wear these to school (i'm a Grade 1 teacher) and the girls who always sit at the front would have something nice to look at. They love it when I get new shoes (funny kids!).

Thanks for the giveaway, Cherry

What a great giveaway! I've been a follower of your blog for some time now, and a while ago I was here visiting when I saw the link to CMUK on your sidebar. I went to check them out and fell IN LOVE! I'm all about traveling light, as my hubby and I are avid outdoors people! I have wanted a pair since then, and now, what an amazing opportunity to win! I hope I hope!!
I adore the purple and white ones!! Oh fingers crossed. But either way, I hope you have an amazing turn out! Cheers, Grace Louise!

I would wear the orange and light blue ones. I would wear them everywhere! Two years ago I set a goal to walk my daughters to school everyday that it is above 20 degrees and not freezing rain. I've come pretty close to accomplishing that these past two years. I constantly run into people who are amazed that I have a car and that I drive it.

Gorgeous shoes, hard to pick, they look good all together as a set... Probably the Orange & Blue. Wear: everywhere, with my jeans probably, I'm not a skirt wearer but yours is beautiful!

Red and white. Then in honour of their awesomeness, I'd take them on a tour of all countries with a red and white flag - Switzerland, Austria, POLAND, Denmark, Malta, Monaco, Turkey, Canada, Georgia, Indonesia, Bahrain, JAPAN, Peru, Singapore, Tonga and Tunisia. Then I'd click my heels three times and cone home sweet home :)

Gorgeous shoes - my ultimate fave has to be the lime and purple. I would definitely bring them on my month-long holiday to Asia in Oct!
But seriously though - I'd wear them in a jiffy when I'm wrestling two kids out of the door and into the car... to the shops... they seem like the kind of shoes that will help me win battles with wriggling small people! :) :)
