This is my 3rd pair of Keen shoes, 1st pair of cold weather nature. I live in CNY where most winter days can be iffy & these will work nicely for slopping around in slushy or snowy parking lots, & still be okay to wear all day for casual work days. I generally wear a size 9 but order 9.5 & they fit nicely, to allow for a warmer sock & comfort.  I am happy with my purchase, especially with a good sale price!
