Keen Terradora Ii Vent Womens Shoes Size 7.5, Color: Black

As someone with a medium-narrow foot, the Terradora was one of my entrees into the world of Keen. Its women's specific last and "Contour Fit" silhouette isn't for everyone -- those who rely on Keen for its wide, high-volume footwear will be disappointed, but it offers me a secure and nimble fit that works for my body. I prefer the ventilated version over its waterproof counterpart because, for me, the purpose of a knit upper is flexibility and breathability, both of which you lose with the waterproofing, which stiffens the shoe both inside and out (the outer treatment feels like shellac) and greatly increases the weight of the shoe. Terradoras are very much hiking sneakers -- they are very soft and the tread is pretty shallow, so I wouldn't take them out on any serious trails -- but, considering how light and flexible they are, they offer surprisingly good support for long days on my feet and 6+ hours on the salesfloor. If you love Keens because they are wide, you will not like the Terradora. But if you never thought you could wear Keens because they were TOO wide, then you will be delighted by the Terradora, particularly the ventilated version.
