    I wear Keen utility boots everyday to work in. They are waterproof. I'm on my feet all day long. Now I will say I can't wait to get them off when I get home but I'm on concrete mostly & have bad feet. I do wear them to walk the banks fishing in late fall & early winter.

    These are my absolute favorite pair of boots. However looking at the reviews it appear maybe they have went down hill in the last 2 years? However I love mine. Mine are still waterproof, but if I wear through the goretex lining I will snoseal them and keep on trucking.

    Keen carries very comfortable all terrain stuff in lots of style and they are very durable and priced accordingly , just wont get it done here
    with all the biting and stinging type things we encounter walking off in the thick stuff .
