text: I tried these out recently, needing a comfortable work shoe and intrigued by the stellar reviews. I've had good experiences with other KEEN athletic shoes and sandals. But I couldn't get past the aesthetic of these shoes - they just looked too orthopedic - almost clown-like in their width. I got the black/magnet color and maybe it was just too monochromatic. They also felt a bit stiff, not the supportive feeling I've had on first try with my other KEENs. I'm disappointed since I thought these might have been a good, comfortable professional shoe, which is hard to find. But, I sent them back without a second thought, the search continues.
