Holy cow i am SOOOO pleased with these Keen Voyageur hiking shoes. Ive been a Merrell fan for years. I work as a groundskeeper so i  wear them for work and for fun both but have had to return 2 pairs ive recently purchased on Amazon due to them running too small. They seem to rub my toes and after any amount of time on my feet i was in serious pain. So i opted to try Keen for change. The girls at work all wear Keen and now i know why. OMG the extra toe space on the more rounded shape of these shoes in the toe is absolutely dreamy. I wear 8.5-9 and i purchased these in 9 and they fit perfecto! They feel so much more comfy then my Merrells feel and are cute too. They are very well made & feel very sturdy with great tread too. As of today i am totally a Keen convert thanks to these shoes! I highly highly recommend them. Is it possible for somebody to be in love with a shoe?? Yes! I say yes because i am living proof of someone in loveeee with my new Keen hiking shoes!
