I have been enjoying Keen footwear for several years--sandals, shoes and boots. The fit, the quality, the everyday use. I buy them for everyone in my family, including my grandchildren. These boots have a large calf design that took a moment to get used to--but they are SO comfortable, so I kept them. I wore them 3 times to do errands and attend meetings when the leather separated from the rubber on the toe. I have not decided what to do, yet. This is the only reason I gave them 3 stars instead of 4.5. Keen has made another great shoe...except for the flaw of this one I received. Yes, i recommend Keens.
