I bought this shoe to hike the Narrows at Zion. I was with people who rented the 5.10 canyoneering shoes from one of the local outfitters and someone who had a pair of Merrell water shoes. Having just returned I have to say I was very happy with the Keen's. I thought they outperformed the Merrells, which tore during the hike. The Keen's held up very well against the river rocks and have a feel of being very durable. The traction on wet rocks was excellent as well. They definitely held their own against the canyoneering shoes.
I have wide feet so I'm always apprehensive about ordering or renting shoes and having them not fit. Keen's wide toe box always fits me so they were a logical choice to order before the trip. This shoe did take a little break in, but not too much. All-in-all this is a very good shoe. I would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting a water hiking shoe.

This review fits my scenario perfectly! Hiking the Narrows, wide feet, and weighing the buy/rent decision. Thanks!!
