Buy a Keen, Sell a Keen

My favorite Keen shoes were discontinued years ago. I only just discovered it because it took years for my pair to wear out. I even asked Keen what happened to my shoe. Well, they "evolved" it into another shoe, that I just don't like. The material is stiffer and the shoe is less comfortable. I know, I bought a pair.

Luckily for me there's eBay, where you can buy almost anything. And as luck would have it, I found my old shoe, barely worn, in my size. I ordered them at the buy it now price of $14.90. That same day, eBay sent me a notice that would let me sell one item for free. And guess what I decided to sell... you guessed it, my barely worn pair of Keens. I sold them for the same price that I bought my pair for. It seemed fair. They sold in three days.

And the original shoe that I loved so much, I featured it on my photography website for a couple weeks.

I'm definitely one of those Keen converts. I tell everybody to buy Keens. This particular shoe is the most comfortable shoe that I own. I don't know what I'm going to do when I wear out this "new" pair in ten years.
