These are my 8th pair of Keens, and my 3rd pair of Keen boots. I was sad that my Stockholms, which I lived in all last winter, are no longer waterproof, so to assuage my pain I bought these.

These are slightly more dressy than other Keen boots; I wear them to work and love the leather and suede look, sometimes at a glance they almost look like Mary Janes peeking out under the jeans hem.

The foot bed is super supportive, they actually feel like my Vibram soled hiking boots - stiff but supportive. I've walked about 3 miles the first couple of days on slushy roads and my feet didn't complain a bit.

The only gripe is I wore them the first time with socks that slouched, and my right boot rubbed where the zipper is at the top. I've remedied that by wearing higher socks.

Sizing is pretty standard Keen - order half size larger. I wouldn't go down like the other reviewer said, your toes will hit the tip. The synch will help you get the perfect fit.

I see they're on sale now - I highly recommend these, they breathe well and definitely keeps the wetness out.
