You might remember my Keen World post from March. There have been a few changes – shall we review?
The Keens marked out in red are no longer in my possession. The pair marked out in pink needs to find a new home (if you wear a US womens 11/EU 42, we should talk). I have an additional identical pair of those marked in green. (Confused yet?)
“Ye gads, I’ve heard of circling the wagons, but…” -Chaos
“Mom said this pair marked out in blue is her favorite pair of shoes ever, but they’re all worn out now. Will my feet wear out and make me sad? Will Mom need to buy me new feet then? Does Keen make new black kitty feet?” -Mayhem
Alas, May’s right – my favorite Providence clogs still look ok on the outside, but they definitely need to be retired. Fortunately, I found some new clogs, pictured below. In the lower left corner are my Winthrop clogs (womens). Next to them are my San Antonio clogs (mens). To the right are my new Keen Dakota winter boots (womens). And wasn’t it nice of Onlineshoes.com to include that lovely Keen reusable shopping bag for me? Do they have my number or what?! 😉
(Ignore Chaos’ bald ear in the picture below. Off to the vet Friday to figure out why he’s scratching the fur off his poor ear.)
*sniff sniff* “I don’t really trust shoes that haven’t been worn. They lack character.” -Chaos
“Oh, look! A little cordy thing sticking out!” -Mayhem
“Mom, do we need to stage an intervention?” -Chaos
“Hmph. This pair doesn’t have any little cordy things.” -Mayhem
I think you have a rather average number of black shoes (ahem.. could be perhaps, others also have several)
I wish that I wore your size!
Wonder what’s happening to the big guy that he’s mangling his ear… hope you find out soon.
While on REI the other day, a couple of Keen clogs/sandals might have ended up in my cart. But then I got distracted 🙁
Poor Chaos! Hope the vet finds the cause of all that scratching.
Wheeeeeee! Shoes!!! You can’t go wrong…
*sigh* If I didn’t have pipsqueek EU size 36 feet…
Girlfriend, you need a meeting.
You’re awfully keen on those black shoes.
Chaos, be nice to the vet, ‘kay? If you aren’t, they might stick you in the ‘tocks with a sharp, pointy needle…Just sayin’
There is nothing sadder than Keens with little X’s drawn through them. :’-(
your cats have the shiniest coats, i think it’s the diet of black shoe laces
Hey, you’re a woman who knows what she wants. Nothing wrong with that.
(But yeah, maybe look in to local KA chapters…)
😉
I love those mary janes, but they’d be a little big on me..
and is it only the one ear? I hope the vet has an easy answer!
There’s a book called “Shoe Addicts Anonymous”…
I may have the beginnings of a Dansko addiction…I’ve never tried Keens, AND I’m a womens’ 11…if nobody else has claimed them, I’m such a shoe whore I’d love to try out a new brand!
(Pugsley used to lick himself bald in spots…the vet put him on a short course of Prozac and it broke him of the habit…)
I took several pair of shoes to a cobbler a few years ago. He took on e looked at them and asked why I had so many that were alike. It was a silly question as they may have all been black but they looked nothing alike.
Poor Chaos! Hope the vet has a quick answer.
I think I have a pair similar to the ones next to Chaos in the top picture!
I think you are okay as long as you don’t start ordering them in purple too.
Chris- I was going to ask, don’t they make purple?
Oooh.. I love the Keen boots, those are very cool. I had to go follow the link and now I’m hopelessly in love with the Keen Timberline in the “seal brown” (which for some reason resembles purple on my screen) http://www.rei.com/product/772556.
My Keen sandals are becoming very sad. I found a new pair of clogs that I just love – El Natura Lista – oh so very yummy.
Not that you really need to, but could you resole your favorites? I had a pair of boots that I LOVED when I lived in NY and had them resoled TWICE! They fit me perfectly and I couldn’t find another pair that looked as good. I had to finally get rid of them when I had kids. My feet stretched and never went back to normal (neither did the rest of my body, come to think abt it.)
Not the VET!!! I’ll listen for the meowling. Maybe I could have those shoes … I doul put both my size 5 1/2 feet in there. That equals 11.
Someone gave us tiny keen sandals for the bambino – too cute!
All of my shoes are black too, just not all Keens! (In fact, I am Keen-less – you probably just bought them all 😉 )
Okay, so shoes are definitely enough to make me delurk. I thought I was the only one who wore women’s size 11! Honestly though, I love your site. I’m naughty and I read it at work, Several times I have snorted out loud and had people ask what was so funny.
The other day I discovered that they sell Keen’s about a block away from the office. I might have bought a pair similar to the green x’d ones.
Maybe May has been getting back at Chaos for chewing off her whiskers.
Poor Choas ear! I hope its nothing serious.
And boy that is a lot of black shoes, although I probably have that many pair of black boots. I should switch to your kind of shoes, they look way more comfortable.
I wish I wore size 11’s. I’m in awe of all the keen’s!
And my spousal units asks why I need more than one pair of black shoes…not that he’s trying to control my use, he just wonders…
Not the vet again! Maybe you should pick up a pair of black Keen’s to ease Chaos’s pain.
What, those are all YOUR shoes? 😉
If you and Neil Gaiman were to meet in a dark room, could anyone see you?
Um, they all look the same.
And here I thought I had a Dansko problem!!! But heck, if you find something you like…
Ah Keens. If only they made ones that fit my feet… Enjoy your new shoes!
What? No purple shoes? I’m shocked. 😉
Are the marked out Keens still available?
