Keen knockoffs...is there such a thing?

post #1 of 9

And where do I get them? I'm looking for something like these for my girls...

I tried land's end summer sneakers last year, but they STUNK and I never could get rid of the smell!

IME, Keens can smell just as bad as the Land's End shoes.

I don't know of any knock-offs, but you may want to try eBay. I bought several pairs off ebay for my kids. I'm so glad I didn't pay full price, because my kids didn't love them as much as I do.

I completely lucked out with the purchase of my daughter's, so, no grand ideas here. I think I paid $15.00 for them before shipping (a Freaky Friday sale on psychobaby.com). We're in our second summer in them and no smellies or stinkies at all!

Turns out dd doesn't like the keens (I showed her a pic). How can she not like them?? They solve all the summer footwear conundrums! Covered toes, open and airy, stay on your foot...I guess I should be relieved (bcs of the $$), but I'm just not happy with flip flops as a solution.

My 4.5YO has these http://www.onlineshoes.com/boys-new-...ci_sku=208286m and his feet smell AWFUL.
So, I got these http://piperlime.gap.com/browse/prod...002&tid=plfr1r for him because they have a anti-microbial protection sole that helps with odor and bacteria!! I'm sure you could find them a girly color elsewhere.

So far, so good!!

6pm.com often has Keens for cheap, I loved Keens and knock-offs just don't work for me, so I have to find them inexpensively instead.
