Free pair of keen hermosas

In the process of moving shoes for the flood we have found
some shoes we can’t sell and so are giving them away. Today’s pair
is ladies keens. They are great the only catch is the left one is
size 8 and the right is 7.5. If this works for you send us an email
or tweet first and they are yours. Wed love them to go to a good
home!
Can’t figure out how to post a photo until I get home but they are pretty cool – double strap over and super comfortable. Kindof khaki colour.

Tell us your favourite brands

Anyone who has been into the store anytime lately knows that we are full to overflowing with shoes, fabulous shoes. For you guys – that is fabulous and a bit like Christmas. For us, the logistics of so many brands and so many styles are starting to become overwhelming.

We need your help.

Tell us the brands you can’t live without and we’ll listen. Once you have voted, please visit us on facebook and tell us you have so you can go into the draw (yes this is a new addition – apologies to anyone who has already voted). I guess everyone knows now that we don’t always completely think through our online marketing ideas. It means we can move fast but sometimes mistakes creep in.

And by voting, you’ll go into the draw to win any pair of shoes in the store – your choice – no maximum value.

Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's poll.

Do we have any shoes that can take orthodics?

You bet. This is one of the most common questions we get asked and the answer is a resounding yes.

And the good news is they don’t look like they belong to look like someone’s Nana either. The entire range of flat Naots have removable sole units, as do the Aetrex and Keen. And that’s just for starters. Our very beautiful El Naturalistas also have soles that can be removed (even if you don’t need orthodics that can be great for keeping them clean and odor free).

Our shoes are chosen because they are designed to help support feet and bodies the way they need to be supported.

Boots – mmmmmmm

Camper, Minx, Earth and now Keen.

Winter is on its way and everyone knows winter means boots.

Aren’t they awesome?!!

Shoes and the greater good – is there such a thing as shoes that can help make the world a better place?

Wandering around the store on Saturday, I was amazed and impressed to notice how many of the shoes in store are produced by companies that have a social responsibility. I’ve already blogged about El Naturalista (yes it is a bit of an obsession but I’m working my way through it.)

But that’s really just the start. Here’s what Keen say about their shoes.

This is a focus for KEEN with several initiatives. We are reducing and eliminating materials containing toxins. We are reducing the amount of waste in manufacturing our products. We are harvesting our waste stream for use in new shoes and bags. Lastly, we are using materials with sustainable attributes whenever possible.

This is their response to the question – what is Keen doing to give back to communities around the world?

KEEN established a giving program in 2005 called Hybrid.Care. We strive to be a company with a conscience by making a positive difference, giving back to the greater community and caring for the environment we share and depend on.

If you are anything like me, you are probably thinking – yeah easy talk but I dug a bit further and found this link in their blog about a donation of shoes they made to San Andreas, Guatemala

It is definitely worth a read and wondering what we at Children of the Revolution can do to help……
