Independent cruelty-free sneaker brand KEEP is renowned for using plaids and checks. This season's Blanket plaid shoes are inspired by the nostalgia of school days during winter months on the East Coast, with a heart-warming mixture of woolen checks sitting against tweeds and cotton uppers.
From the Maroon Blanket Plaid to the the navy and gray colors of the Gilman check, these KEEP Blanket plaid shoes are both cute and cozy.
