At first I didn't think I would like them.  They are cut just a little lower than the rest of my keen boots.  That said, they have quickly become a go to pair.  Like all my keens they are extremely supportive and comfortable.  I do which they had a third speed lace at the top as I like to use the first and the third and loop the laces around the back of the boot in lieu of the 2nd.  Even that objection has sort of disappeared.

Absolutely worth it. In a year or so it will be their true test - durability.
