Cougar is known for creating fashion-forward footwear that looks incredibly stylish, while still being super functional and comfy. And perhaps no one knows this better than Cougar’s Vice President of Marketing, Jackie Charest. “I have a pretty cool job,” says Jackie. “Being able to see the design team at work brainstorming, then transforming an idea into a final finished shoe is an amazing experience.”

 

While Jackie has serious marketing tasks to perform (things like budgeting, launch planning, analysis and more), footwear is her true passion. “I absolutely love shoes and get so inspired by our collections,” she says. On her recent spring break to Mexico, Jackie tested out a classic best-seller and some of her faves from the new Spring/Summer Collection. Check them out below!

Sayah

“I travelled in Sayah. It’s a great, comfortable airport shoe for long days thanks to the LUXMOTION Comfort Technology built into them. Once I arrived in Mexico, I also wore them into town – so versatile, especially in Oyster-Taupe.”

Nina

“Nina is a go-to for the pool and beach (love the adjustable hidden straps) and I chose them in Black so they look just as great with a dress for dinner under the stars.”

Spritz

“Spritz has a cool, sporty vibe and I liked the comfort of the adjustable straps for strolling the boardwalk and checking out the local shops.”

Soprato

“I love the iconic puff of Soprato as much as the gorgeous Caramel colour. These were easy, everyday slides that made my pedicure pop.”

“These are the ultimate flip-flops – so comfy and easy to wear, but also extremely stylish. Loved how they dressed up my caftan.”
