These shoes might not be for everyone when it comes to their looks but I can tell you that the amount on compliments I've received from perfect strangers is surprising. They are super light wear, comfortable, and well made. I ordered a half size bigger than I normally wear because the strap across the stop isn't adjustable and I'm very glad I did. It has some elastic so it moves with you, but at times when my feet are slightly swollen from walking a lot or sitting at length the strap becomes slightly annoying. Luckily I can just slip them right off! All in all, I would without a doubt recommend these or any Keen brand shoe to someone.
