Love the Keen brand. This is my second pair of Keens and I want all my shoes to be this comfortable, and to fit this good.<br /><br /> I asked a question on how easy it was to take these boots on and off. My answer: very easy.<br />The laces slide easy when you stretch the neck out when putting on or taking off. So no need for the lace hooks. Plus in my experience lace hooks were what killed my shoe laces.<br /><br />The first time I wore these, I wore them all day at work. I work in a warehouse so I'm moving around a lot. crouching bending and lifting. Comfortable. I noticed the top of my foot hurt at the end of the day, but that was my fault for not adjusting the laces properly. Next day had no problems. These are my go to every day footwear. The rest of my shoes have retired to the trash can since I've bought Keens. Can't wait to get the Clearwater and the Atlanta Cool shoes.
