text: Almost too much padding in the upper and the boot looks different than the advertising picture of it. The upper is so full of padding that it is impossible to draw the laces up tight on the leg and this failure allows your boot sock to rub your ankle raw. I have 6 pairs of Keen's and this is the first and only disappointment. Perhaps it is occurring because I am used to wearing military boots and they feel like house slippers next to these boots. Maybe I expect too much because I love my other shoes by Keen.
