Whenever I hear of Keen Shoes, I usually think of rugged, durable, outdoorsy type shoes. But after seeing Keen’s new ad campaigns, I am re-evaluating my thinking! The new BERN styles as seen above are actually stylish, and I would love to be seen wearing them!
Keen Bern High Boot – What’s better than a sassy tall boot? One that isn’t afraid of the rain or the snow. The Bern High Boot is built with water resistant leather, faux shearling lining and a KEEN.Cush footbed making it as warm and comfortable as it is hot. $150
Keen Bern MJ The Bern Mary Jane shines with quality from the premium leather uppers and leather lining to the stitching details and embossed buckle closure. A removable ankle strap adds versatility to this unconventional style. $90

I seriously didn’t think I would ever known a pair of Crocs. But I’m a sucker for sales, my second fave shoe choice behind mules would be mary-janes, and my favorite color is pink. So, you see what I bought last week above – yep, two pairs of pink Mary Jane Crocs (one fuschia, the other pearl pink). They were on clearance for only $6.66 at Herberger’s so how could I resist? They only come in whole sizes (I’m a 7.5) and they say ”half sizes please order the next size up” but the size 7 fit way better than the size 8, so I went with them. I’ve wore each color once (while my daughters rolled their eyes at me), and I have to admit <shudder> that they are pretty comfortable. I can see though why schools are banning them as they could easily be punctured on the playground.

Then last week while touring Boston, I got to visit an actual Crocs store, where they were selling the exact same shoes I bought for $29.99 each. I can’t find them cheaper anywhere online either, so I obviously got a good deal!
