Not as comfortable out of the box as past Keens Ive had, but after a few days of wear, they're just fine. My socks got a little moist under really wet conditions, but not enough that I blame the shoes. I literally stood in an inch and a half of water. Keens never disappoint, unlike Merrills. Keen is the only brand of work shoes Ill ever buy. No other brands can compete in my opinion
