These are probably the most comfortable shoes I own - even when I am on my feet all day (14-18 hours). I bought the Plaid pair and even wear them when they don't really match because I love them so much. I do have lots of other pairs of keens (two sandal styles for the river, a hiking boot, two pairs of the harvest style) and have a size 8 in all of them. The fit seems fine to me and I really have no complaints. If I could, I would buy one in every color.
