Gucci imitates, or is inspired by Keen shoes (buy, attractive)

So why buy Gucci?

I can vouch for the quality of Keen shoes and boots. It sounds like Keen is making the most of Gucci’s borrowing, if that’s what it is.

No idea how much Gucci’s version is, but I imagine it is much more expensive than Keen’s.

I'd never buy Gucci, just because it's a snobby brand.

But I love Keen shoes....

Regardless of the brand, the style is unattractive. I'm in no hurry to buy either.

I have several pairs of Keens. Good shoes for their price.

The style is so ugly (on adults, cute on kids). If I needed the utility of the shoe I would not pay for Gucci and I do occasionally buy Gucci accessories.

Neither. They are both ugly as can be.
