Great shoes. Expensive, but I caught a reasonable sale price.
Pricey, but well made. I walk my dog daily and need a shoe that keeps my feet warm and dry through the northeast winters. These have been doing the job on the slush covered shoulders of the country road I live on. Warmest slip on outdoor shoe I’ve owned so far. I normally wear a size 10, but followed the size chart that recommended a 9 1/2. I’m glad I did. Fit is great.

Keen Men's Brixen like having a brand new Mercedes for your feet
An Excellent Shoe, Bottom line: Size was a concern after I read many who said to order 1/2 size larger. I wanted to wear socks with this and have the 10.5 mens Keen sandals I love so, since those fit perfectly I ordered the size 11 shoe... Wrong choice, Too big, but with Amazon's forgive and exchange I was able to pop the size 11's in the box and send back with the handy printout label provided by Amazon. Within a few days, over the weekend, I had the exchanged size 10.5 which is really perfect. Okay, now to trying out the shoes, First off, the only complaint, and it is small, is the sides do hit my ankle bone too like someone else also said. The solution for that for me was to wear heavy socks, and over time the shoes will get used to the fact that I have an ankle bone right where the top sides of the shoes are. The shoes are flexible and are already giving in to that problem and I anticipate there will be no further issue over the next few days of time wearing them. The Best Part, and the reason I wanted these shoes is that they are liberally wide and strong on the bottom with tread like a Mac Truck. This gives me a good solid footing on winter ground conditions, rain, wet, muddy, - Let me tell you, I walk my dogs come rain or even worse weather and I'm out in it every day and often. These shoes are like having a brand new Mercedes for your feet. Keen Men's Brixen Lo Waterproof Insulated Shoe keeps my feet dry, comfortable and set apart from the elements. There is no bad weather, only bad shoes, and these are good shoes, the best. I'm happy as I have tried everything and the one's I like and still have a pair I alternate with the Keen's now is the Merrill slip on Waterproof Moc. I have two pair because I let each pair air dry in the house while I'm using the other pair. I've talked enough about these now, Get 'em, even if you have to go back and forth to get the right size. As I see it now, just get the size you are and that will probably be perfect, as it is for me.

Comfortable, good looking work shoe but not too durable
I work out on my property almost every day and used these shoes for everything from concrete mixing to woodworking projects. I'll say up front that these were Excellent shoes with respect to comfort and design. They weren't the least expensive but they outperformed some most of the other slip on garden/work shoes I've purchased. If not for the fact that the toe seams on both right and left shoes began to peel off after less than a year this would easily be 5 stars. I'd still recommend for the comfort but they seem a bit pricey for the lack of durability.
