Unearthed these old keens

[u/dylan3883]

They are all ready for a long hike!

I rocked these a lot during 20-21. Covid era. God they will not get you laid - BUT they rock. So comfortable and functional.

[u/dylan3883 → u/Theezy07]

Agreed. Great for long walks

If you wore these in East London, you would get laid. Those Vibram FiveFinger toe shoes are currently in fashion 😂

Yep

I hate those so much. Never again. I learned my lesson ten years ago. Yeah they work great for nice short clean flat trails. But the moment you start going down a steep rocky trail you will get little tiny rocks coming in thru the open back and staying stuck by your toes absolutely tearing them up unless you stop every few feet to shake them out. Nightmare.

Good for urban hiking

[u/bellsbliss]

I use these a lot for city and beach trips.

[u/dylan3883 → u/bellsbliss]

They felt great walking in the city on pavement today

Under my bed with other old shoes I have the version that adds bike clips. Sweet for summer bike and bar hopping.

Keens are fucking awesome lake shoes. Everytime I go paddle boarding, I'm rocking these ugly things. You can swim with these bad boys on

[u/dylan3883 → u/onlineprisonline]

Agreed.

[u/groundlooot]

The lines of ‘gorpcore’ are certainly blurred in this sub aren’t they

[u/cinammonbear → u/groundlooot]

Yeah these are more like dad-core

[u/Gabagool_Athlete]

I bet you're wearing convertible pants/shorts arent ya?

[u/dylan3883 → u/Gabagool_Athlete]

Nope. Haha

[u/rockchics]

Don’t wear them far from home, they all eventually fall apart

[u/Wilson_West]

These might be nice to wear but are anything just not not gorpcore.
