I like Keen shoes.  My son burns through all shoes, the only brands that lasted a few months are Keen and Merrell.  These particular shoes seem well made and I ordered a size larger.  My son's foot is average (I would say on the narrow side) but we still struggle to put them on, they seem too narrow. Once he puts them on, though, he says he is comfortable and likes the way they feel.  I sent him to school today with these shoes on and he did not want any back-up, so I am hoping he will be able to wear them all day and do his usual activities.
