I like Keens when I'm hiking in the winter with rain and snow.  I don't prefer these for summer hiking as they are too heavy and hot.  I would recommend getting 1/2 a size bigger than you normally wear.  I had to get rid of my last pair of Keens due to being too small in length.  (I had hiked several times in them, but when I hiked a 14er, I could barely walk on the way down because my toes were squished).  The 1/2 size up is better.  I wouldn't give these shoes much for style points.  They are a bit clunky and and make your feet look huge.  Whatever though, they're hiking shoes.  They keep your feet warm and dry, they are durable and work in rocky terrain.
