KEEN Women's Terradora 2 WP Mid Hiking Boot (Open Box)

I bought these about 4 months ago for a trip to Montana, I was sent the wrong ones but eventually found them in stores. I’m pretty constantly a size 6 unless the shoe is a little wide then I’m a 5.5. I ordered a 6 and they are pretty narrow so I was worried about them being uncomfortable with hiking socks. I loosened the laces as much as I could and they felt great. I wore these straight out of the box to hike in the mountains daily for a week and had no blisters, aches, or pains. I specifically went with these due to them being so lightweight and the cross between a hiking boot and tennis shoe. Things to beware of -They are not waterproof. My feet stayed dry the first time trekking through some water but once they were fully exposed to water while out in some rain they now soak in any ounce of moisture. -Traction is awful in gritty/sandy dirt and wet surfaces. The tread is actually good however traction is non existent rocky terrain with gritty dirt or moisture. -The shoe strings are skinny and short. Simple fix would be replacing them. Problem is the holes are smaller than most shoes so thicker laces won’t fit. Since these are narrow the length of my laces are maxed out and I struggle to get them tied securely. Besides those issues they are extremely comfortable and have held up well with all the dirt, mud, water, and miles they’ve been through these past 4 months.
