I chose this shoe because I have another color combination in the same shoe and loved it. It is very sturdy, and it fits true to size. I love the Keen brand, and I have a sandal for summer as well. But these are so cute and stylish and fun to wear.  My other pair of Keen's is this exact style only yellow patchwork, and may I add that I spent over $100 ($130 with shipping?) for my other pair from a boutique catalog. I didn't have to because I have learned in the past few weeks to check Amazon first!  So these were $69.  These I consider a year-around shoe, while my other yellow combination is pretty much late spring and summer.  Try them.
