My first pair of KEENs and I am loving it. Wore them on a 4 mile hike that had a lot of uneven, rocky trails. Also had to do a bit of rock climbing to get to where we wanted to go and these shoes kept up very well. The traction is great, while all my friends were slipping and falling, these kept me through and gripped the rocks.

Despite the mesh slits on the sides, it did a fairly good job of keeping dirt/water out of my shoes since we were hiking/climbing near small streams to get to a waterfall.

Very comfortable throughout, we hiked for about 3 hours and not once did my feet ache. Didn't even need a massage after winding down, and didn't feel any aches the next day!

Would highly recommend.
