The Top Three Keen Shoes For Winter Travel

With winter making its arrival to the western states with a huge bang, many travelers are discovering the joys of being stranded in small towns across the western plains when nasty weather closes interstates. When nasty weather strands you in a new town, it’s important to have the right Keen shoes for whatever you might encounter, from mucky, slushy streets to deluxe jacuzzi rooms. Therefor, following are the top three Keen shoes to have when the interstate close, leaving you stranded in a town in the middle of Wyoming, Colorado or Nebraska.

Keen Shoe #1

The Snow Rover in shitake and almond blossom. If the weather where you are traveling is bad enough to close the roads, it’s definitely bad enough to require a good pair of winter boots! In order to handle anything Mother Nature throws your way, from fluffy snow blown into nasty snow drifts up to your shins, to thick, wet, mucky slush in a Wal-Mart parking lot, you’ll want these leather and canvas boots. Made with KEEN.DRY waterproof breathable membrane, they’ll keep your feet warm and dry.

Keen Shoe #2

The Erin Ballerina in firebrick. These Keen shoes are going to prove extra handy when you find a place to weather the storm until the roads open. Be it a cousin’s neighbor’s girlfriend’s house, or the last honeymoon suite at the Holiday Inn, when you finally find someplace to kick up your feet and weather the storm, you’ll want a nice, comfy pair of shoes to pad around in. And the Erin Ballerina does the trick! Just don’t try wearing them to run out to the car for something you left, or you might end up with blue toes – and learning the names of the emergency room workers!

Keen Shoe #3

The Waimea H2 in violet quartz and brindle. As impossible as it may seem, you always want to have a pair of keen shoes beach sandals with you whenever you travel in the winter. Why you ask? Because if you end up stranded by closed roads, and the only hotel room you can find is the deluxe honeymoon suite with heart shaped jacuzzi, you might as well have a pair of sandals to wear to the hotel pool! Plus, who wants to walk around barefoot on hotel carpets? Your only alternative if you don’t have sandals is your winter snow boots, which don’t look very flattering with a swimsuit.
