KEEN Mystic Sandal - Women's

Item #KEN0127 | 38 in Stock
4 Star Rating

cute but stinky!

By Ranked #162 - Women's Technical Sandals June 20, 2009

My first pair of Keens, and they are just as cute, comfy, and orthotic-friendly as I'd hoped. But their persistent, strong fake-vanilla chemical smell is making me nauseous, and I'd like to know what EXACTLY they put in them, and why, to make them smell like that. Is the smell deliberate? Or is it one of those awful new anti-bacterial agents? I for one strongly object to fragrances (which are generally neurotoxins) being added to my shoes. A chemically sensitive person could become downright ill from wearing them. I hope Keen will consider walking its talk; this cool groovy health-oriented company needs to get rid of the stinky fragrance.
