More than just an Outdoor Shoe for the Hybrid Life!

Everyday I face the challenge of walking...most people that know me aren't aware of my disability. For me, living an active life with the ability to explore the great outdoors in style and comfort is not my kind of hybrid lifestyle. Mine life challenge is wearing many hats as a B&B proprietor, but wearing only one brand of shoe: KEEN. This all came about, because I injured a sciatic nerve. And, about the same time, was diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy. Because of this unfortunate turn of events, I gave away my entire collection of footwear, my eclectic mix of shoes - dress boots and cowboy boots, designer heels, both high and low, and crazy, chunky sandals. The good news, is that I found KEENS. They have a terrific variety to select from. I have acquired not only Newport H2's, but an assortment of other sandal-type footwear, tennis shoes, and walking shoes. I've become the "Keen Queen"! Since then, I have recommended Keens to many others that live with a similar disability.

Great water sandals for kids

4-year-olds should be the official testers for all shoes. They drag their toes to stop their bikes; they splash in puddles, run through sand, and then grind their wet shoes against rocks and tree branches. They use them in lieu of hammers and saws, and typically wear a new pair out in about two weeks. That is why I was amazed when the Keen water sandals I purchased for my four-year-olds held up so well. It made me wonder if Keen has disavowed planned obsolescence. Not only did they hold up, but they are easy for my boys to put on and provide great protection from stubs and scrapes that other sandals seem to promote. The only problem is that they will grow out of perfectly good shoes!
