text: Not a big reviewer, but thought I should tell people about these shoes as there is one surprising aspect.  First the background - my feet get cold, so I need insulated shoes and I am not a big fan of getting my feet wet, so waterproof is also a requirement.  Until now, I had been wearing Salomon Men's Eskape Mid GTX Hiking Boot (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008JFC1LE?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage), but they were starting to tear after two years of daily use.  And I wanted something that goes on/off faster.  So I got the Keens.<br /><br />On the positive side, they keep my feet warm as advertized.  Hasn't rained yet, but they seem waterproof, so that is fine too.  The sizing is a bit big, so my heels slide out a little, esp. if I walk fast, but that is somewhat expected in a slip on.  So far, so good.<br /><br />The big surprise - at least to me - these shoes are UGLY!  I'm a software guy (as you may have already surmised), so what do I care.  I asked people at work (people 30 years younger than I) thinking that perhaps these weren't ugly, but just in fashion (another subject about which I know nothing).  But no, the unanimous opinion is that these shoes are UGLY.<br /><br />I am going to wear them every day until they fall apart (or fail to protect me in the coming rainy season) - but I didn't want anyone to say that they weren't warned.
