Since I had knee surgery, my brother suggested I get a pair of these shoes. I was skeptical since I was a believer in MBT's. And plus I have a very narrow foot & have trouble finding shoes to fit anyway. But said I'd give them a try. These sounded like the narrowest shoe, so I ordered a pair. I must say, I love this shoe. I ordered a second pair. I no longer wear my MBT's. I'm sold on these Keen Palisades.
