I bought these boots based on Keen's reputation and the comments left.  I have to say I am very disappointed.  I bought them specifically for a trip to Europe and I wanted something warm and comfortable because we were  going to be doing a lot of walking in chilly and possible snowy weather. Warm they were, sturdy they were, comfortable they were not...at all!  I went up a size and still found them a bit narrow (not that I have wide feet either) it felt like my poor feet were getting choked. Not so much in the toes...because I went up a size, but the width was not there and I wasn't able to wear thick socks. There is no real arch support, I had to put an insert in them just to make them wearable. Anyway, $150.00 later I'm pretty bummed. Thank goodness I had the forethought to bring a spare pair...my cheapo $25 boots saved my vacation! Although they are a nice looking boot...I don't think I will buy Keen's again!
