The last time I wrote a post squeeing about shoes, they looked like this:

My Anthropologie wedding shoes

This time I’m squeeing about shoes of a different type. They look more like this:

Keen Coronado Sandals

Shoes for our Costa Rican honeymoon! Details of the honeymoon aren’t set in stone yet (soon, hopefully!), but when I found these sandals on sale now, at the end of summer, I snapped them up. They have good soles, an anti-microbial and hydrophobic lining (good in damp places like jungles!), and closed toes so no scary critters can get in.

I’ve tried Keens on before and never had much luck, but these shoes looked so perfect I decided to give them a try. I tried on my normal size eight and, as with all Keens, I felt like my feet were floating around in two boats. They were on a sale table, and there were no seven-and-a-halfs or sevens in the pile. There was another pair of Keens on sale on a different table—those ones were more like mesh hikers and didn’t have any fun touches of pink, but I figured I’d need shoes of some sort for Costa Rica, so I picked up a box marked seven from that pile. When I opened it, it had “my” sandals in it! Destiny! Going a full size down definitely made these shoes fit me properly.

Did you buy any special footwear for your honeymoon? Was it much more glamorous than mine?
