I’ve been so impressed with my Keen Newport H2’s that I decided I had to get some more Keens for Winter-wear now that it’s cooling off. I finally settled on the Keen Vienna in walnut and the Keen Sydney II in brown, which is the one that looks like a Mary Jane — though I was mighty tempted to get the funky rust-colored ones. 
Doing a little research, I found a deal using dealcatcher.com for shoes.com:

I created a new category called “Free Stuff” because I’d been emailing friends and family with information on free things they could get or discounts they could have but had been neglecting to share that information here. Part of me didn’t think I needed to share here because, well, I assume y’all are a bit more web saavy than say my mom and can find these sorts of things on your own, but then I suppose I could be nicer and share the wealth and make it easier, couldn’t I?

O.K. This is interesting.
I’ve always recommened The Gradual Vegetarian for anyone interested in becoming a vegetarian.
