I didn't even know about Keens a couple of years ago and now I don't want to wear anything else.I have had a long and awful list of foot and toe problems and these Keen's while not curing my badly healed injuries is making it possible for me to walk around comfortably.Here are my favorite features of Keen footwear;1. Narrower heels - I don't think my heels are abnormally narrow but I have too often ended up with shoes that I have to lace tighter and tighter to keep my heel from sliding up and down while walking. No more heel blisters for me.2. Sturdy laces and lace holes - I don't know if the technical term is lace holes, I really hope it isn't, but I'm referring to the openings that you thread shoelaces into and that I like how strong they are on these shoes. I have never worried that I am wearing away at the laces or the shoe by tightening my shoelace tying.3. Cushiony foot bed - I need something firm but with a little bouncy give. These are perfect. I am not having as much plantar fascitis pain in my heels and I am also able to take my shoes off without having a tickling muscle spasm on doing so.4. They are not as warm as my old skechers or sneakers and they have more breathability than my docs. My socks are still moist by the end of the day but not nearly as much inter toe sweat is happening.5. Plenty of room for my messed up toe. I never feel it bumping the top of the shoe as I walk.6. They still feel comfortable after a day of walking around.7. Pretty good arch support, I think in a few months I might buy some arch supports to insert but on the good side, these are roomy enough that I expect the arch supports will only add to the comfort of the shoe instead of making them too tight and uncomfortable to wear.
