Active Vacation? Shoes to Take You Anywhere

We recently completed a very active vacation filled with hiking, bicycling and white water rafting.  It was amazing.  Also amazing was that we found a brand of shoe perfect for outdoor vacations.

Keen makes the perfect shoe for active families.  The thick rubber sole is perfect for hiking; my daughter said it helped her “stick” to the mountain rocks.  Breathable sandal design and quick drying webbing make these terrific for rafting.  And the ability to tighten the shoe for a secure fit makes them great for biking.  The protected toes mean no painful stubbing.

We absolutely loved our Keens and highly recommend them for active summer fun!
