My Keen Travelin' Shoes


The word "keen," in the 1950's, was slang for "wonderful, delightful, marvelous.  My Keen shoes are all that and more. They are my most favorite and most comfortable.  I bought my Keens right after I ran the Moab Half-Marathon in 2007. My travelin' shoes have taken me to many places - most recently to the beaches of Oregon.  Because I can throw them in the washing machine, I never worry about where they may take me. They have been in sea water, mud, sand, and lots more "stuff."  I've hiked the slot canyons of Antelope Canyon, trudged to the top of the largest Coral Pink Sand Dune, hiked around Bryce Canyon, tip-toed through California tide pools, and explored Colorado's Mesa Verde. And that's just this past year! Pretty much every photo excursion, near and far, includes my Keens.
