This is probably my fifth pair of KEENs.  They work so well for boating and walking.  Can get wet.  Stubbed toes are a thing of the past, especially on deck!  Sturdy and last for many summers, so worth every cent.  Comfortable and never rub or chafe, so can be worn all day long.  Cute enough for casual dresses, and much more attractive than sneakers.  I do love flip-flops, but these are a better alternative for support and toe protection.
