These are very well made shoes, and I am going to order another pair. My feet are exactly 10 inches long, so I checked the sizing chart and ordered size 9.5 ladies (US) or 40 (European) - just as the chart suggested. BUT, my feet are also VERY wide (4 1/4 inches). Most reviews indicated that these work very well for boat-sized feet, and they do! The shoes fit fine, wore them all day today; however, my little toes are a bit sore from hitting the edge of the shoe, and I would have liked a bit more wiggle room (personal preference - I like a little bit looser fitting clothing and foot wear. So, the next pair I am going to order will be size 10. And since these are leather, I am assuming the 9.5 size will become more comfortable as well as I break them in. Very happy!Right out the box, these shoes were all day, trail ready. I've put about 200 miles of walking on them and they've held up spectacularly. Waterproofing has been tested and they kept my feet dry after waking in heavy dew and splashing a few puddles. All day comfort; I wear them every day and I walk several miles a day.This is my third pair of Keens. I'm a lifetime customer. This pair seals it. I've never had a bad experience with Keens.There is no doubt that these shoes are comfortable and fit well but they are a bit bulky. I mean, they aren't Frankenstein boots but they are a little less than attractive on women's feet.This brand was recommended by many. I needed a shoe to walk to trains and around town, and also to hike in the Alps. This pair worked very well, plenty of room for toes, no blisters. I would still recommend bringing a lighter pair for a break. My toes hurt after hiking downhill, so I had a pair of sandals.These came up for me when I searched for gardening shoes. I wanted something that would protect my feet from screwups and provide stability. I see no need to be bouncing my head off rocks unnecessarily, so I decided to try these. I had to take a minute when they arrived because they are definitely not cute, but they are wide enough for my toes; the arch support is great; they are tough, waterproof, and solid; so comfortable. I've even gone walking in them...!I was a little nervous after reading the reviews on these shoes but the price was irresistible so I went for it. I am a loyal Keens wearer and it's the only hiking/sport brand of shoe that fits my boat-like feet. The reviews said this shoe was narrower than normal but I did not find that to be true. The shoe looks great, fits my fat feet perfectly and doesn't squeeze my toes. Because the heel is coated in leather, the heel does lift a little with each step but it hasn't bothered me so far. I've only walked a few miles in these so I'm not sure if the heel lift would cause blisters or irritation after more than a couple of miles. The laces are round which I don't love for longer hikes so I will replace with flat laces but so far, so good!Fit, comfort, nice heel cup, solid sole, lots of toe room, great arch support … and waterproof …. Love ‘em! My second pair. Still wearing my first pair for yard work. One of the shoes lost its waterproof feature after 8 years of fairly heavy wear. New comfy waterproof shoes for the wet seasons coming up in Michigan. Bought early while in my size and on sale!This shoe could use a little more padding on the insole. I just add an extra pad. I wear these all day and I walk several miles a day for work. Overall great shoe.The shoes itself is cool but they sent different color. Had to exchange.Confort soulier de tout les jours.
