If you'd come out to the flats or been in the Sierras or one of the more laid-back beachy areas (think Santa Cruz, not L.A.) you'd have felt more at home in your Keens, I think. Although, now that you mention it, I noticed a shocking lack of Keens in Tahoe a few weekends ago when hubby and I visited and I was wearing my lovely blue ones, just in case we decided to go on a little hike. <br /><br />I had similar trouble when I visited NYC a few years back, feeling a bit provincial in my long coat, when short coats were suddenly the norm and I was definitely out of place in my comfy Rockport outlet shoes. I'm glad I'm to an age that I don't really give a rip about trying to fit in with what the hip people are wearing, although it's still fun to watch the fashion parade. I've really enjoyed watching young girls trying to figure out how to walk around in their summer maxi dresses this year and last. I remember how I used to trip on mine in the 60's when we called them "Granny dresses." I'm not doing that again.<br /><br />I wonder if barefoot Merrells and the like are taking the place of Keens in the out-doorsy set these days...that would explain it. Keep a lookout for those.<br /><br />I think a lot of those tans are sprayed on, especially if you're seeing them in S.F.<br /><br />Have a safe trip home.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02013830406271839467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690850457652849477.post-48336036047233651672011-08-02T05:12:08.677-07:002011-08-02T05:12:08.677-07:00I don't have keen shoes, but some really like ...I don't have keen shoes, but some really like that.
