text: This is the 2nd pair of Keen's I've bought in the last couple years. I enjoyed the 1st pair so much, that I specifically bought this pair when the others began to wear out. I hope this pair stands the test of time as well as my previous pair. I wore them pretty much all summer long doing various tasks; boating, kayaking, light hiking, mowing, gardening, etc. This pair did not have the toe guard, so some of those tasks might be limited. However they have nice non-flashy styling and are comfortable. Fits my needs perfectly.
