I looked at a pair of Keens today. I've owned one pair of keen sandals i bought only because I'd never owned sandals of that style at the time, they were on super-sale, and i had heard good things about the brand. Still have them and love them. Today i saw a nice and tough looking boot in the Keens but they didn't have my size in stock which is why I went with the Danner. I have a low tolerance for decision making without good info, but i would've bought the Keens for half the price of the Danner if they felt good.
