These sandals are very cute and comfortable. Overall the quality is exactly what I have come to expect from Keen. They don't show too much foot or toe area so I feel there will be adequate protection when being worn at work (non-industrial) or a walk through the park. The bungee cord laces are great for getting a just-right fit. The cushion of these sandals are so sturdy and thick. When you step you can feel your foot sinking comfortably into the padding. I was totally not expecting that. I also love that the sandal does not come up high on the ankle. For me it sits comfortably under the ankle and doesn't rub when walking. The inside of the shoes has a soft material that covers all of the canvas so you don't get scratchy, pokies on your feet causing pain. These are just so darn comfortable! Did I mention they are comfortable?
