[QUOTE="giles45shop, post: 556623, member: 5704"] One thing to check/be aware with Keen's, at least with the hiking boots is the larger toe box. I was looking for a pair of waterproof mid-height hiking boots that I could wear on a daily basis and went to the local non-chain sporting goods store (Bill Jackson's). I was very interested in the Keen's, especially since some are actually made in the USA. I tried a pair on, but on the suggestion of the sales guy tried out walking on their in-store rock incline. One thing that was immediately noticeable was that with the Keen's and the larger toe box my feet wanted to slide forwards on a downhill climb, pushing my toes into the front of the toe box. I ended up with a pair of Oboz Sawtooth's which fit my foot a lot better and did not have the same problem. The steel toe models may not have that issue, and the larger toe box may not be an issue, but just wanted to bring it up as it was something that I wouldn't have normally thought about and is a good thing to check before you put out good money for a new pair of boots.
