Keen Saturday #5

Hello everyone and welcome to the fifth post in my Keen Saturday series! This is also the last post of the year. Since creating this blog almost 1 year ago, I never thought it would get as many views and positive comments as it did. I did not post as much as I wanted to. But, hopefully next year will be even better and I will be able to feature more amazing people. So today I will be featuring Instagram user, photographer and blogger, colormeadri. She has an awesome blog here: colormeadri.wordpress.com. Adri likes to wear socks with her Keen Rose Leather sandals, because they remind her of the classic Mary Jane style schoolgirl shoes. She especially likes to wear them with longer socks to fit with the schoolgirl look. Another reason why is because normally she wears socks around the house and the Keens are really easy to slip on if she needs to go somewhere or wants to go look at something outside. She also thinks they look cool and they prevent blisters. In the summer she wears them with socks a few times a week and less during fall and winter as it gets colder. Her favorite kind of socks to wear with them are from H&M and she really likes neutral colors and blush tones. She started to wear socks with her sandals last spring. Before then she didn't have any sandals you could easily or comfortably wear socks with. So without further ado here are the pictures!









The last four pictures are of her favorite outfit to wear them with. It's a cute schoolgirl-esque outfit with long purple socks, matched with the sandals. And a purple skirt matched with a cute pink shirt. All taken in her natural habitat which is her room. It is full of books and and landscapes she painted. 





Thank you colormeadri for sending me these pictures and allowing me to feature you on the blog!

Teva Tuesday #15

Hello everyone and welcome to the fifteenth post in my Teva Tuesday series! Today I am featuring Instagram user laviniaapril. She wore her Teva Tirra sandals with socks to keep the sandals from rubbing and chafing her feet. She doesn't wear them with socks much anymore now that her sandals have been broken in but will occasionally wear them with socks from time to time. Once winter comes around (she lives in Australia) she will wear them with socks more to keep her toes warm.  Her favorite kind of socks to wear with them are Kathmandu cotton ankle socks and when it's colder she will wear thicker higher socks as well. Normally she wears them around the house, camping, kayaking, or for hiking. One of her favorite achievements from this year was doing 1000 km of planned walks, some of which she did while wearing her sandals with socks. So without ado here are the pictures!

Teva Tuesday #14

Hello everyone and welcome to the fourteenth post in my Teva Tuesday series! Today I am featuring Instagram user thejanalife. She likes wearing socks with her Tevas because they are cute, quirky, and functional. Initially she wore them with socks because it was convenient and she didn't feel like putting sneakers on, but didn't want to take her socks off, so she just slipped on her Tevas and ended up really liking it. Her favorite kind of socks to wear with them are fun patterned socks that you otherwise wouldn't be able to see if you were wearing regular shoes. Where she lives it's very rainy in the fall, but also snows a lot and is very cold in the winter, so wearing socks with Tevas is more of a summer thing for her. So without further ado here are the pictures!

Keen Saturday #4


Hello everyone and welcome to the fourth post in my Keen Saturday series! Today I am featuring Instagram user amany_safadi. She wears socks with her Keen sandals because they are very comfortable and since she lives in Seattle it is a trend to wear socks with your sandals. She almost always wears them with socks and mostly wears them for hiking, but sometimes wears them on a daily basis. Her favorite kind of socks to wear with them are knee high Merino or REI wool socks. She prefers them in grey, green or magenta. She started wearing socks with her sandals when she was 7 years old, but didn't get Keens until about 4-5 years ago. So without further ado here are the pictures!

Fun Friday #2

Hello everyone and welcome to the second post in my Fun Friday series! Today I am featuring Instagram user mar_labing. She wears socks with her sandals because she thinks it looks cool and is very comfy. Also she lives in Germany where it is cold and wearing socks with sandals keeps her feet warm and no one looks at you like you are crazy. She wears socks with sandals to work everyday or sometimes when going out. Normally she wears either Birkenstocks or Dr. Marten sandals. At home she will sometimes wear flip flops with tabi socks. Her favorite kind of socks to wear with the Dr. Marten sandals are black socks. Usually she wears short white socks with her Birkenstocks. She started wearing socks with her sandals about 3 years ago when she moved to Germany from Spain as a way to integrate into German culture. So without further ado here are the pictures!

Teva Tuesday #13

Hello everyone and welcome to the thirteenth post in my Teva Tuesday series! Today I am featuring Instagram user bold.and.fit. She wears socks with her Tevas because, 1. She really likes the way her socks look and Tevas allow her to show them off while still wearing shoes. 2. She likes the breathability. 3. The bottoms of her Tevas get overheated when it's really hot outside. And lastly she loves the way socks look with sandals, as long as you have cute socks on. She wears socks with Tevas at least four times a week. She always switches into sandals after going to the gym. Mostly during the winter she wears them with socks. Also anytime she is backpacking or hiking she will wear socks. Overall she wears socks about half the time she wears her Tevas. Her favorite kind of socks to wear with them are the Smartwool casual crew light cushioned socks. She loves striped socks too. After the gym she wears black, grey, or striped Hanes ankle socks. She has been wearing her Tevas with socks ever since she got her first pair in 2009. So without further ado here are the pictures!
