text: I have owned Keen sandals that look very similar to this shoe forever and use it to travel with and walk long distances with.  I found out that those are discontinued so I had to look for something else.  I really wanted to love these shoes because it is so comfortable with an amazing arch support and they are really, really cute.  However I felt there was not enough strap/support on the top of the shoe, near the ankle, to keep my foot from rising out of the shoe when I walk and sounding like a flip flop. I had to send them back :(  They would be amazing for just around town sandals.  You can dress them up and they are comfortable, just not if you need to walk 5-10 miles a day.
