The lacing starting at the shoe's toe is part of what makes this such an attractive shoe. For me, it was the reason to return the shoe. The lacing support pressed on the joint where my big toe joins my foot. Relacing and changing socks were no solution.

This pack can hold a lot and I was afraid I wouldn't like carrying it. (I usually avoid carrying anything more than a Camelback designed for bikeriders--holding only water, a candy bar and a jacket that fits under the bungee cord. No room for lunch in those.) But this pack will take care of my camera and binoculars should it rain, a lunch to take on the trail and feels like nothing on my back. Also it has removable straps at waist and chest so it can be stripped down. I really like everything about my new pack.

This is a light and attractive shoe that felt great the first day out. I have narrow feet and loved the close fit feel. That is until the next day when temperatures reached the 80's. At that point, even with a light sock my feet were hot, red and swollen with the beginnings of a blister after a few hours hiking. I'm sure that all would have been fine had I ordered 1/2 size larger. Backcountry exchanged them for me even though I'd worn them--more than generous and definitely makes up for no opportunity to try them on in a store.

These are so light and feel like part of your foot, making for surefootedness on the trail. Look kinda good too!

These are soft and lighter than air. They are my new favorite!

The shoe looked good, except for the laces, which looked like a really bad sewing job--sort of like Frankenstein's scar. I couldn't deal with it and sent them back.

I buy other shoes in Summer, but these are the ones I wear. I buy a new color each year, but I still wear the old ones too. (Like all thongs wear them around the house like bedroom slippers until you toughen up between the toes.)

Has anyone ever dreamed of a down coat that is figure flattering--this is it! When zipped it has a curvy figure, when unzipped it floats along beside you. I love this coat!

Just wore my new top to Palate's class--not too warm, but warm enough. Looked slim in plank position!

clingy and shapely, this top is warm and washable--I bought both colors

This soft pretty sweater was meant to upgrade my around the chilly house look--the gently flowing fit makes it too nice for that--instead I wore it to lunch with friends Sun. It is perfect.

I have various Keen styles and my size can vary 1/2 size either way with Keens. This time I ordered my size and exchanged them for 1/2-size larger. My middle toe still hit the end, but I replaced the insole with thinner insole which seemed to help. I wish I had just returned them for a whole size larger, I don't think I'll be able to wear them anywhere where I need to walk. I love the color and the look for what that's worth if my face is scrunched up in pain.

This top is soft and flattering and washable! I could wear it everyday.

She's right. The length is great for all my low-waisted pants. The color combo is great. The fabric is soft and comfortable.

Very comfortable and attractive. I think if I had been able to try them on first, I might have bought extra-small. The small is fine, just comfortably loose.
