Keen Austin Waterproof Shoes

I bought these shoes to use as waterproof dog walking shoes during the rainy season. As I age, so do the sizes and painful issues with my legs, knees and back, which is why a good cleanse is so important. The Keen Austin Casual Waterproof Jacket (Oxford) is a nice surprise! Firstly, I'm a woman and I often look at men's casual and street shoes because they offer better support, they come in neutral colors with no ugly embellishments or contrasts, and they're usually a bit wider. I'm also a US women's size 11, so the selection is better too. But either I'm adjusting to 11.5 right now or this model is a bit small because I ordered the men's 9.5 to add a bit of extra cushioning and they are tight. I've made men through 9 so far, so small shoe or big foot this week? Who knows? All this to say that this shoe is a winner! The arch support is a nice surprise. I could do a little more but it's enough to keep my knees happy and the roomy toe box is Keen's standard, right? The laces are a bit short and stiff and need replacing and the leather is strong but not so stiff that it takes a long time to enjoy your shoes. Heel hold is good. I put my Roc socks in there before trying them on so can't comment on that, but the soles flex a bit so they're not rock hard. Last but not least, they are cute. Oops. Sorry guys, this is a flashy shoe that got compliments and shopping tips from my female co-workers and envy and "Where's my pair?" My husband has a figure, so no. Great shoes! Oh! Preserved used - very good from Revain stock. Preferably. Deal with it. Is always. If they weren't brand new I wouldn't say. Check out these purchase offers. I saved 50%!
