text: I wanted to love these boots as much as I loved my Keen Bryce boots. Unfortunately, there are several flaws in the design. The all leather tongue doesn't allow for much flexibility and the sides rubbed against my ankle even with thick wool socks. I decided to still give them a chance in hopes of it loosening up over time. So, I wore them on a hike to Ricketts Glen State Park. After crossing small areas of wet trail, one of my socks was wet. I examined the boots when we got back to camp and noticed that the sole of the right boot was peeling away from the leather. I'm very disappointed as I loved my previous pair of Keen boots.
