Do Keen Commuter sandals ever go on sale?

[emily_in_nc]

I'm dying for a pair of Keen Commuter sandals for the upcoming spring/summer/fall riding season (I don't ride in the winter), but they are still $115 everywhere. Just wondering if they ever go on sale, does anyone know? I guess I was thinking that they'd eventually have "last year's models" on sale, but the ones for sale now look exactly the same as my friend bought last spring at REI for full price. I know they're great, but that's a lot to spend since I have perfectly good regular riding shoes.

Does anyone know if REI or anywhere else ever puts these on sale? Or are they just so popular that it's full price or bust?

Thanks!

Use one of the REI discounts on them (20% off any item)? I haven't seen them on sale either....

But they were too narrow for my foot - I may try the men's.

I got mine when Performance was having 20% off, and used whatever points I had to boot. Net - $70 some dollars. I LOVE THEM!

I heard they were hard to clip out of, with spd pedals. Is this true? I really want some to use on my Jamis this summer.

I don't use spd's.

I got email today from Performance - All shoes are on sale at 20% OFF Mon/Tues 1/26-27, including Keen bike sandals. They may not have stock on the color/size you need, but you'll get them eventually. S

ince it's winter, maybe quick delivery is not so much an issue. Looks like the new color BLUE is included (but not in stock yet). Woo hoo!

oh great.
I don't get paid until Wednesday.

Thanks for passing this info along! I am going to wait for the 20% off coupon at REI, tho, because I have a $50 gift card to use there, and with the company I work for in bankruptcy protection, my continued income is iffy right now, so I'm cutting discretionary spending down to almost nothing until I see what is going to happen.
