Just looking at the colorful upper of the Keen Harvest Mary Jane triggered a panicked thought: PAAS Easter Egg color tabs and eggs! I have to run out to the store or the Easter bunny will NEVER come for my two boys.
Something tells me this is a limited edition Keen style that will sell out this season. Scraps of reclaimed rice bags have been woven together to create this unique, eco-friendly shoe. The cushioned footbed is comprised of recycled polyurethane and cork . Like other Keen styles, these comfortable shoes run on the wide side and most reviews mention the need to order a half-size down. I imagine the Harvest would work best for those with wide feet from toe to heel.
No doubt the Keen Harvest will spice up your plain-jane capri and t-shirt summer uniform and I bet you'll get plenty of compliments--just tell them it's Barking Dog recommended.
I'd like to thank Jeremy E. for allowing me to use his photo of the Keen Harvest on his friend, Kendra W. at the SXSW conference in Austin, Texas.
