Splash Into Spring With Keen
I first fell in love with Keen footwear when I found myself wearing their cushy Barbados sandal non-stop during a six-month stay in Mexico. Whether I was walking over crudely cobbled streets, beachcombing or wading into the surf, you can bet I had my Keens on. The color never faded, the sturdy soles withstood daily use like a pro and the unique Keen toe protector stood strong against dropped objects and the vagaries of uneven sidewalks.
Upon return home to the mountains of southern New Mexico, where a slip-in wasn’t going to cut it on daily trail hikes, I upgraded to my new fave, the Keen Whisper. Its quick-draw elastic cord means no slipping and sliding, and the Whisper is sturdy when the going gets tough and perfect for river crossings. Better still, I can purchase without guilt; Keen is known for creating environmentally sound products. www.keenfootwear.com
