THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED AND COMMENTS ARE NOW CLOSED

In January 2003, KEEN began with a moment of PURE VISION, with a simple design challenge: can a sandal protect toes? The answer was yes. The answer was the Newport. The end result was THE OUTDOORS, REIMAGINED.
Funny how this one radical departure for sandals inspired an overriding philosophy for KEEN Footwear: HYBRID PRODUCTS THAT ALLOW CONSUMERS TO CONNECT WITH THE OUTDOORS IN ITS ENTIRETY. After three years and countless steps later, this hybrid philosophy has guided the companies brief history and has attracted a dedicated community of fans.
Now, today, KEEN Footwear has a wide selection of great products including shoes and sandals for men and women, kids shoes and sandals, bags & handbags, and even socks, all designed with the HYBRID approach to take you where you want to go, from the city, to the trails and beyond.
A couple of years ago, I actually bought a pair of KEEN sandals that I just love! They are durable, attractive & stylish, and comfortable, and I have no doubt I will wear them for a long time.
One thing I love about KEEN is their attention to environmental and social issues. For instance, their boxes are 30% smaller than traditional shoe boxes and is made entirely of recycled materials. Also, they have a shoe lined called VENTURA that is 100% vegan and uses a more earth friendly manufacturing process. They also have a bag collection called HYBRID.TRANSPORT that is made largely of repurposed materials.
KEEN footwear and all of their other items can be purchased directly from their great website, and they are offering FREE SHIPPING on anything you purchase from their site with the following code: WHATSMELLBLOG (good thru Dec. 1). You can give the gift of KEEN, get free shipping and give someone a wonderful gift!
Also – I am so envious of this prize – KEEN has offered one winner THEIR CHOICE or anything from the KEEN Footwear website. WHAT A GREAT WAY TO HELP WITH YOUR CHRISTMAS SHOPPING! You can pick shoes for your spouse, your child, a great bag for a friend, or splurge and get something for YOU! Did I mention how envious I am?

Put your button on my blog, too.
(can you tell I WANT these shoes?)
I am a loyal subscriber, too!
I want the Chamonix shoes in black; I need something comfortable for work and those would look great.
I really like the WINTHROP BOOT.
I would like to win the Oregon pct trailhead boots for my hubby for hunting this year!

I would love the Palermo MJ in Black in Size 7 1/2.
2nd entry – I like that they have an Accountability Report! I wish corporate companies would do that – heck, even our government! To provide challenges and specifics and how the company is doing on their “journey to toward social and environmental best practices.” Great specifics!
The wear-around MJ looks so comfy! those are my fav! Though the Timberline is a close second!
And for my 2nd entry…. Very impressive donations to the kids need in China. Never been but my heart breaks for them.
