There's no denying these shoes are very cute, and I love the blue color.  I also own a pair of Keen's Betty Boots, in a size 8.  I have these Ventura's in a 7.5, and they're a bit large.  The Betty Boot has excellent foot support, Ventura does not.  Like others who've reviewed these shoes, I ended up buying cushiony inserts to put in the shoes.  I do think Keen sort of "cheaped out" on these.  But I am happy to have them!
