It's all my husbands fault. He bought some Keen sandals years ago, which he has worn for so long they have had to be surgically removed to allow for these replacements to be fitted. After years of waxing lyrical I finally caved and bought a pair of Keen walking boots, followed shortly after by a pair of Venice H2 sandals, and the rest (as they say) is history......this summer has seen me as a walking advert for Keen. You will not buy a comfier shoe, but you will find yourself looking to widen your Keen footwear experience with other models. Buy, buy, buy! :-)
