I recently replaced my Danner Acadia duty boots with a black pair of these and for my feet, they are more comfortable. I was hesitant to go away from an American made boot for work (and still don't like the idea), but my Acadia's were making my feet ache at the end of the day.

These boots are quite warm, and I find my feet are balmy after wearing for long periods. The lacing system is also a little more cumbersome to get out of quickly, like when I need to get my bunker gear on, but they do stay tied and have great ankle support.

I realize that I'm using these boots beyond their intended purpose, so there will be some little issues for my use with them, but they still fit great and allow me to do my job to the fullest.

My only real complaint is that these are not made in the US. For the price you pay for Keen's they really should be made here. I would gladly pay a bit more for the same footwear if it were made locally.
