I just received my Keen Women's Koven Mid WP Hiking Boots yesterday and tried them out today for a walk with our dog. Per the reviews I went up a half size and they fit perfectly! I like that the laces are pink and that they make my feet look small (I normally wear a size 9, but ordered a 9-1/2). They are not overly heavy or clunky and I think they will look cute with jeans, as opposed to the last pair of hiking shoes I had. I am glad that I bought a pair of the Thorlo Women's Trail Hiker Crew socks too because with these shoes a sock that doesn't cover your ankle probably won't work well. I discovered this when I first put them on with a sock that was too low. I think the shoe will rub against the back of your ankle, so best be prepared and buy a good pair of socks to go with them. In fact, just now, I ordered a few more pairs of socks. These socks are the perfect weight - not too heavy, not too light.
