text: Based on the other reviews, I wasn't sure what to expect. I bought a half size smaller than usual based on reviews, and that was a good thing.  I typically wear an 8 and have a medium width foot with a slightly high arch.  I love these sandals!  They're not too big, in fact I could adjust straps even more and they'd be a bit tight.  They look even better than I expected, and seem well made.  I love KEEN and almost always have success with KEENs.  These are heavier than the sandals with a really flexible sole, but a bit lighter than the more heavy duty ones with a lot more strap construction on top.  The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is the chemically smell out of the box - though it does dissipate in a few days - and the grooved designs in the sole are a little uncomfortable if I have been standing for a while.  Otherwise, they're a win.
