I took a shot and ordered these shoes half a size bigger than my usual 9 because so many reviewers said they run small. They don't. For me they run normal and my shoes are half a size too big. They are going back and in the return process I discovered another brand that I think is a little sleeker.
The keens were very comfortable otherwise, but the tightening strap didn't feel so secure. Also they front toe protector looked clunky.
If you have wide feet though, these are the perfect width, whereas the Whispers are more narrow in the middle, which I found when I tried them on in the store.
