Rating: ★★★★☆ (4.5 out of 5 stars)
As a dedicated member of the lululemon team at the vibrant Market Mall location in Calgary, I spend countless hours on my feet, navigating the bustling sales floor, assisting guests, and sharing my passion for mindful movement. For weeks, I relied on a popular casual shoe from a competing brand, assuming it offered sufficient support for my active workday. However, the reality was far from ideal. The constant standing and walking left my feet aching and sore, casting a shadow over my otherwise fulfilling job. It was a stark reminder that even the most stylish shoes can fall short when it comes to true comfort and support.
Discovering the lululemon Beyondfeel: A Revelation
Eager to find a solution, I turned to lululemon's footwear collection. The Beyondfeel running shoes, with their promise of exceptional comfort and performance, piqued my interest. The 30-day trial period offered the perfect opportunity to put them to the test in my demanding work environment. From the moment I slipped them on, I felt an immediate difference. The plush cushioning and supportive fit enveloped my feet like a second skin, instantly alleviating the discomfort I'd grown accustomed to. It was a revelation – a testament to lululemon's dedication to creating products that truly enhance your everyday life.
Beyondfeel: Where Comfort, Performance, and Style Converge
- Cloud-Like Cushioning: The Beyondfeel's Supercritical foam cushioning feels like walking on clouds. It absorbs impact with every step, reducing fatigue and allowing me to power through even the busiest shifts. On my lunch break runs, the cushioning makes each stride feel effortless, propelling me forward with a sense of lightness. It's like having a personal masseuse for my feet!
- Breathable & Supportive Upper: The seamless mesh upper is a game-changer. It's incredibly breathable, preventing my feet from overheating, even during intense workouts or warm summer days. The snug, supportive fit adapts to my foot's natural movements, eliminating the rubbing and blisters I experienced with other shoes. Plus, it's so lightweight and flexible that I barely notice I'm wearing them.
- Smooth & Stable Ride: The pressure-mapped outsole, combined with strategic flex grooves, ensures a smooth and stable ride on any surface. Whether I'm navigating the sales floor, dashing into the stockroom, or taking a quick break outside, I feel confident and grounded. The shoes' flexibility allows for a natural range of motion, while the grippy outsole provides excellent traction, even on wet or slippery surfaces.
- Gender-Specific Design: lululemon understands that men's and women's feet have unique needs. The Beyondfeel is thoughtfully designed to provide optimal fit and support for each gender, enhancing comfort and performance. It's this attention to detail that makes all the difference in how the shoe feels and functions.
- Style & Versatility: I love that the Beyondfeel doesn't sacrifice style for function. The sleek design and versatile color options (like my Gull Grey/Silver Ice/Palm Court pair) make them perfect for pairing with my lululemon gear or everyday attire. I've even received compliments from guests on how well the shoes complement my outfit. They effortlessly transition from work to workouts to weekend adventures, making them a true wardrobe staple.
- 30-Day Trial: Experience the lululemon difference risk-free with their 30-day trial. It's a testament to their confidence in their products and their commitment to customer satisfaction.
- Quality & Innovation: lululemon is renowned for its high-quality materials and innovative designs. They go the extra mile by specifically designing their shoes for both the needs of women's feet and the needs of men's feet, ensuring a comfortable and supportive fit for everyone.
- Community & Support: lululemon fosters a vibrant community of athletes and fitness enthusiasts. You'll find a wealth of resources, events, and support to inspire and empower your journey.
- Team Canada Collection: Show your Canadian pride with lululemon's limited-edition Team Canada shoes and slides while supplies last.
- Proven Success: In my own experience at the Market Mall store, I've observed that 8 out of 10 guests who try on our shoes end up purchasing them. That's a testament to the comfort, quality, and performance that lululemon footwear delivers.
Actionable Tips for Shoe Shopping:
- Know Your Foot Type: Determine if you have flat feet, high arches, or neutral feet to find shoes with the right level of support.
- Consider Your Lifestyle: Choose shoes that align with your daily activities and exercise routines.
- Try Them On at the Right Time: Shop for shoes at the end of the day when your feet are slightly swollen for a more accurate fit.
- Test Them Out: Take a walk or jog in the store to assess comfort and support in motion.
- Don't Forget the Socks: Wear the same type of socks you'll typically wear with the shoes.
- Seek Expert Advice: Consult a salesperson for personalized recommendations based on your needs and preferences.

It has transformed my workday from one of discomfort to one of ease and support, allowing me to focus on what truly matters - connecting with guests and sharing my passion for an active lifestyle.
