The other positive reviews are spot on.

I live in knee high boots, and though I am not fond of flats (hurt my feet), I decided that summer was coming, and I needed something for camping/hiking season. A friend suggested Keens (and my daughters have some), and one of the local outdoorsy stores was sold out of all the knee high boots :-(.  I got some sandals for my daughter anyway, hah. "Yes," the representative said, you CAN go hiking in just about anything they sell, even the stylish stuff.  She checked and I noticed a few styles I liked that they didn't even carry (including Clara). So, I came back to Amazon. These have the same rugged sole, flex and support as any other pair of Keen's I have seen, sandals included. I tried the Merrell (another excellent product, but they didn't have the lace ups in stock).  They are also don't have a padded liner which is perfect for summer! Bonus: They actually waterproof up to the 6th set of eyelets (about halfway), which is more than adequate (I didn't see this listed in the Amazon description but can smell the treatment, yay). They are true to size, and so the lacing takes up any slack you may have. Seems everyone but me has wide calves these days, so laces are a must-have. I gotta say OMG, they are honestly a joy even putting them on, comfy from the start, in fact so incredibly comfortable I can wear them pretty much all weekend (I don't recommend going barefoot on a camping trip unless you are swimming, OUCH).  They also add a little cute style, which is a plus. Hey, nothing wrong with a little style on a camping trip!
