Looking for summer shoes for me (now that I have the girls sorted out). I need something comfy, closed toe, and can wear with shorts. I have been looking at some of the sporty sandals (like Keens) or sporty Mary Janes, but can't decide! Which ones do you like?

TIA!

I usually wear a sporty mary jane type shoe. The playgrounds around here are all mulch (wood or tires) so any open shoe is uncomfortable. Sometimes I'll do flip flops, so at least if the mulch gets in my shoe it falls right out.

yeah - our main playground is pea gravel, so the Keens have me a little concerned!

Any recs for a sporty mary jane?

I wear these Merrell MJ's (http://www.amazon.com/Merrell-Womens-Encore-Mary-Seagrass/dp/B001O167OC/ref=pd_bbs_3?ie=UTF8&s=shoes&qid=1236636950&sr=8-3) a good portion of the year. They are very comfy.

IMO experience these run big. I usually wear 8-8.5 and in these I bought a 7.5. I got mine late last summer at DSW.

I am looking for a pair of shoes to run around in...and it seems like Keens are the hands down favorites. I tried a pair of Keens once in Nordstrom and they were too wide on me. Anyone know if they generally run wide? I'm hoping it was just the style I tried....ballet flats.

Thanks!

I just got these and love them, but they haven't been to the playground yet (too muddy/snowy-- wearing my Merrell Jungle Mocs for now).
