I have never had a pair of Keens these are my first and I guess I was expecting more from all the comments I had read about them.  They are just ok.  They have no cushion to them and I can feel every rock.  I bought them for hiking when we go to Utah.  Don't know if I will return them or just bring a good pair of tennis shoes on our trip.  Haven't had them long enough to know how they wear.
