I have fallen in love with KEEN shoes!
I have seen the light. Keen footwear. I have no idea why it has taken me so long to find out about these shoes! Seems like everyone I know has a pair. The style I bought today has been out for a couple years, I think, but they are so cute, so comfortable, and although they look big in the photo they actually make my feet look smaller when I wear them! They have excellent arch support, and aren't heavy or stiff like hiking boots even though you could totally hike in these. Plus, they are waterproof and oil resistent. I am a convert. A believer. And you all should get a pair. These are the ones I bought:

Note: They run about half size small, so since I usually wear between a 7.5 and 8, I bought the 8 and they fit like a glove! Although they are sorta plain in the photo, they are really cute looking when you try them on. Take my word for it. My next pair will be the Newport H2's.
