This is the second pair of Keen sandals that I have purchased. I did a little research and it seems that this one is the highest rated overall for an extended keyboard with macros. I recommend it, but you have to figure out the right size for you. So it is a definite improvement over the stock wire. I purchased these to hang up heavy hunting waders. Thumbs Up hand has more detail anatomically than the other two (which I actually prefer less detail). The comfort is out of thus word with just enough patting cushioning my feet. Next time, I will probably go with something else. I really like the color & the straps over the top of the foot. I think this would have been a really cute shoe for Disneyland.
