I am not a shoe girl. I have a small selection of footwear, and I like it that way. I have one of each type of footwear I need and I generally put effort into purchasing sturdy, semi better quality ones so they will last a long time and hold up well. I also have wide feet so finding a good fit is often difficult.
I few years ago I purchased a pair of Targhee II Keen sneakers. They came in a few different colors, and for $15 more you could get them in the waterproof version. Hating wet feet, and needing sneakers that would hold up to everyday rough wear, I went with waterproof. I purchased these sneakers in brown with maroon details from my favorite local shoe store, the Soul Source, in Harrisonburg, Virginia.
A year later they were starting to wear out, so I purchased the exact same shoe again.
And a year later I again replaced them with the same shoe, but I switched up the color to grey with pink details.
And figuring you can’t go wrong with a good thing, this winter I again replaced these sneakers for a fourth year in a row, this time with the grey with blue details.
Still love them.
