Your Incredible Shoes: A Fourth Grade Teacher’s Perspective of Newport Sandals and a Pumpkin Contest?

Dear KEEN,

I have just purchased my third pair of Newport sandals. Like the previous two, I will wear these all day long, every day of the week, every week of the year. I have never worn shoes as comfortable or as cool looking as these bad boys. I teach fourth grade here in Richmond, Virginia.

For our Fall festival a few months ago, each classroom designed a pumpkin for a school contest. Unbeknownst to me, my room mother modeled the pumpkin after me right down to a pair of KEENs (which belonged to a boy in my class). It didn’t win a prize but we loved it and I told the class that I would e-mail a copy to you.

Thanks for your amazing shoes. I tell everyone I know about these shoes and hope I’ve steered a lot of business your way. I am a customer for life.

All the best,

John Vassar

    Richmond, VA? No kidding? I’m a Richmonder myself; live here part time and in New York. I’ll wear Keen Newport in the winter with socks if there is no rain/snow.
