KEEN Women's NXIS Evo Waterproof Shoe

I love these shoes so much, I ordered another pair in a different color. They were comfortable right out of the box. I ordered a half size up. I've noticed I've needed to do this for Keens lately. I'm not sure why they run small. They never used to.

I'm a long time Keen wearer. I'm a 7.5 all the time even in Keens except for my Newports which is known to need a half size up (at least when I got mine). The sizing on these is not like my other regular Keens but still what I'd consider a 7.5. They're more snug in the toes though still wide enough for me. I've not overheated to the point where my feet swell a lot but I can see how they may be too snug at that point because my longest toe usually feels like it's going to hit the end of the shoe. However, there's actually room so it doesn't happen. I loved the comfort, the light weight and robustness of the shoe so much that I got another pair for backup. I sized up to 8. No more feeling my toe is going to hit the shoe but now I feel there's a tad too much room because my foot slides just a bit around inside. I rectify that by making the laces tighter, but that's a hassle for me. Maybe I wouldn't have noticed if I didn't have the 7.5. I hope this helps others with sizing. I also wear orthotics. As soon as I tried them on out of the box, I fell in love and wanted to go out right away and play in them. I love all my Keens but I really love this pair because they're light and cushy like a sneaker, but my feet feel solid on the ground like my hikers. I feel like I can walk forever in them, and they keep my feet dry in the rain.
