I have been looking at this Keen for a bit. I tried them on in a store, but was put off by the price. I got these at a great price! The shoe is the comfort I expect from Keen, but seems more low profile, which I love. I have work Keen shoes for years, but they are kind of bulky. These are less so. I have not tested the waterproofing. The color is sort of strange, in my opinion. I don't even know how to describe it. Maybe that is why these cost less. I think the color will be best with jeans (not what I wore the first time I wore them) and either way, I'm keeping them because they are good shoes.
