If you took a look at the footwear being
sported everywhere last summer(by adults
and kids alike), chances are you saw a lot of
KEENs.  Their  ever-popular sandal/hiking
shoe hybrid made the brand a household
name, but did you know they make more
than just warm-weather options?

Yep, they sure do… and we have some cute kids shoes by KEEN at Play Outdoors.  Looking for some fleece-lined girls boots?  The KEEN Tallin (see photo below) is so cute Mom wouldn’t mind a pair in her size too! (REG. $65-70, ON SALE NOW FOR $55.00)  Or if it’s a pair of low-top kids sneakers you have in mind, we have the Coronado from KEEN in infant and kid sizes with velcro closures and a youth version with good old-fashioned laces. (REG. $35-40)  And if you’ve got a little trailblazer on your hands, you’ll love the KEEN Targhee  kids hiking shoe, which is also available in three size categories (REG. $50-60). 

Log on to PlayOutdoors.com now and pick up some KEENs for your outdoor kid!

I guess you can say I’m in the “holiday spirit” today after an amazing turn of events. Long story short the customer service at Backcountry.com is second to none, even for employees.

This turn of events got me thinking about how grateful I am to be working with some of the best affiliate marketers in the biz. Without the drive and passion you have, not only for your websites, but for the love of the outdoors, the success of the Backcountry.com Affiliate Programs would not be possible.

From the whole affiliate crew at Backcountry.com we wish all our affiliate partners a happy holiday season.

Cheers,
