Keen Visits NOC

Jeff Weathersbee, our rep from Keen paid a visit yesterday to talk about new Keen footwear, and some very helpful trivia about rubber-soled shoes. In fact, did you know that sturdy Vibram soles are made by a family-owned Italian company that got its start with the help of their friends, the Pirelli's (think tires)?



Whatever the origin of rubber soles, Keen shoes are their apotheosis, with incredible form and fashion. They're also available at NOC! A great new item this year is the Roatan water shoe for women. It's lightweight, drains water and comes in a cute but secure ballet flat!



Our education continued with other items like the Vibram Five Fingers, a shoe engineered to simulate barefoot walking.



The Outfitter's Store staff also modeled new sunglasses by Native. I mean, how stylish do these guys look? The white pair got props for having a tortoise-shell inner.



Finally, we all got to brag about our beloved Marmot Precip Jackets. This is one of the only waterproof, lightweight and breathable rain jackets on the market under $100. As anyone at NOC and they've most likely got a well-loved Precip.


Stop in NOC's Outfitter's Store and learn more about any of these products, and thanks to Jeff for the great info!
