Tartan Keen Shoes

[Hawk]

Thought the group would like to take a look at these shoes, made by the Shoe Company "Keen Shoes" here in the Pacific NW. When my wife wore them today, I looked down and said, "I've got to get a photo of that for the Forum". I knew she had them but I had forgotten they were actually a few different plaids/tartans. Thought the "Rabble" might want to see them....

Interesting.
I showed your photo to our eighteen year old. She immediately grabbed her laptop. I presume that means she liked the shoes.

They are rather interesting, especially for the women that wear a type of flat. I think Keen is a trendy and actually has some excellent shoes to be worn by both male and females with a kilt.....

I have a pair of Keen's Arroyos, which I wear with my kilt and hose (instead of boots) on walks in the summer here on the coast.

Could these turn out to be the modern alternative to the ghillie? Perhaps the dancers will use them over their dance ghillies instead of the Crocs they seem to favor lately.

Every time she wears these out, she gets a lot of attention from the women that inquire where she got them. I could see it happening......

I went looking for a picture of tartan Chuck Taylors (pretty sure I've seen them before). All I got from converse.com was "Men's/Women's Holiday Tartan Plaid Pants" cut like jeans, and looking suspiciously familiar---MacGregor of Cardney!?!

I have an old pair of christmas plaid chucks that I bought about 25 years ago. They occasionally bring them out just before christmas still. I think I saw some in 2012, but not in 2013.

Close. I wear the MacGregor of Cardney. The colors are a wine red and green.
On my monitor, the converse red looks more brick in color and the green appears to be almost black.

Yes, Converse even calls it black, but I think they're wrong. Using modern color schemes, the green looks almost black in many versions of MacGregor red & green.
