The Experience

Wanting to be INSPIRED…is how it started for me with this pair of Kwicky Blade-Lights. I have always disliked running with a passion. I loved sports but never felt like I wanted to do anything more than the 10K that was required in high school on our first day if we wanted to do sports.


As I’m in my late 30’s, I’ve owned many workout shoes. Some made me feel like I’m wearing the most fashionable thing but still felt uncomfortable to run in or make me feel inspired enough that it would change my mind about running. When I got my first pair of Kwicky’s I couldn’t help but have a small little smile when I saw the color. It reminded me of when I was a kid and how that little kid seem to surface with a thought. On that same day I took it out for a test run; the 1st mile after all these years. They were super light-weight and so comfortable and I didn’t feel like my feet were dragging like I used to feel when running. The next several miles became easier and running became fun much to my surprise. I’m definitely not the 'Flash' or would ever become the world’s fastest runner, but I felt inspired by these shoes after all this time disliking running. I will be completing my 1st half marathon and full marathon this year which will be done in my Kwicky’s, it speaks volumes for me as a beginning runner.


I have been inspired. I’m loving my new found love of running and my Kwicky’s got me started. I’m looking forward to many more races in them and I know you will love them too.
