Despite the weird rubber toe cap (which is just awkwardly positioned in my opinion) I would have been happy to wear them if only they had fit me properly.  Unfortunately, the gores didn't provide any give across the instep of the shoe making them painful to walk in.  I do have a very high instep as well as a wide foot, so they probably would be comfortable if your foot is more in the &#34;normal&#34; range.  In the past, I have found Keens to be generously sized in this area, and all the styles I own have held up very well.  This one just wasn't made for me.
