Christmas Cracker: Keen Taos

Halfway between sandals and trail shoes, the Keen Taos is what you want to be wearing if someone spills a jeraboam of bubbly over the rockery on Christmas Day ;-)

Latest in our series of outdoor Christmas prezzie ideas, is the latest in footwear fashion from fast-growing US footwear brand Keen.

The label burst onto the UK scene for the first time this year and won rave reviews from OM members for both their distinctive looks and all-round comfort. A halfway house between a sandal and an all-terrain shoe, the Keen Taos - pictured - combines a hike-happy, grippy outsole with a waterproof leather upper.

The mid-sole is made from dual-density EVA for all-round graded cushioning and comfort and because the Taos uses a removable footbed, you can also use the shoe with orthotics, something that's rarely possible with conventional sandals.

The Taos is priced at £75 and available in men's and women's versions.

They were certainly available in most of the 'major' stores around my way earlier this year - Snow & Rock, F&T, Ellis Brigham, Outside. I haven't really paid much attention whether they've kept them in stock through winter, but I think so.

Ellis Brigham online claim to have a bargain on the womens model at the moment

I was looking at them in Itchy Feet at the weekend. They look Ok but there didn't seem to be any particular reason to buy them over four or five other equivalents.
