I'm a big fan of Keen footwear. The quality of their footwear is one of the best but you pay for it. I wear this boot when it's not too cold and I'm not gong to be in the snow. When I am, I wear (and recommend) the Keen Brixen mids. I wear these with jeans and khakis at work. I wish they were waterproof but then they may get a little warm. I sprayed with silicone waterproofer and so far they've been fine in the winter and in light snow..I'd buy these boot again.
