I don&#8217;t care if it looks stupid to wear socks with sandals, I do it anyway. Yes, in winter, I&#8217;m a sock &#038; sandal wearing dork.<\/p>\n<p>My last pair was a superstar of the sandal world. They weren&#8217;t birkenstocks, surprisingly (I&#8217;m not allowed to buy birks anymore, because apparently they make me look too lesbian). They were Merrell, red ones, and I loved them so much. I still love them. After three years, I continue to wear them, constantly. But three years is a long time for a pair of shoes, especially as much as I&#8217;ve worn them, and they are getting kinda ratty.<\/p>\n<p>Time for a new pair! Woo! I love getting new sandals. I was going to get another pair of Merrells, same style that I have now, but then I spotted <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.keenfootwear.com\/pdp_page.cfm?productID=22\">these<\/a> at REI and I had to have them. The website for Keen is top-notch annoying, but I don&#8217;t plan on wearing the site, so it&#8217;s okay I guess.<\/p>\n<p>I got them earlier this week. Last night we noticed that the right shoe and the left shoe, while both green, were totally different shades. All week long I was wearing two different colored shoes, and hadn&#8217;t even realized it. Now I look at them and I think &#8220;how did I miss that?&#8221; it&#8217;s so obvious. I called the store and they told me to bring them in and we&#8217;ll get it straightened out.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s strange, they only have one shade of green in that style, so I don&#8217;t know why one is more minty and the other more olive, but it looks stupid. I hope they don&#8217;t say it&#8217;s just the way the shoe is made and tell me to live with it.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know why I think anyone is interested in my new sandals, I&#8217;m just bored at work. Oh!! The best thing about these shoes? No, the two best things about these shoes? a) they are totally waterproof&#8211;not only can I get them wet, I can actually throw them in the washing machine to get clean. And b) the strap is this sort of bungee cord deal and it&#8217;s fricking awesome.<\/p>\n<p>Also, I&#8217;ve been having a good time lately with puns and play on words, be patient as I work through it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sandals are practically the only shoe I ever wear, all year long, even in winter.
