Posts: 23 Vancouver, WA | http://www.keenfootwear.com/product_detail.aspx?sku=1116Anyone seen or tried these? Thinking of replacing my cheap neoprene sailing boots - I think they're Ronstans - this summer and I like the additional support and good soles that these boots look like they have. We don't have much sand where I sail, mostly slippery, sharp rocks! Also, the boots I have seem to fill with a lot of water, more than is needed for the "wetsuit" warming effect, which makes for heavy, sloshy feet (no good). Additionally, the zipper doesn't have a retaining strap or anything and sometimes comes down - almost lost a shoe a few times when swimming. Can't seem to find even a price - I know Keen's are spendy but people who wear them seem to really like them (including my wide, who wore hers all through pregnancy). | | | Re: Keen Payette

I thought for sure those would cost a fortune...they must be REALLY new. I finally found them in an online store and they're not nearly as expensive as I thought they might be ($60...I thought they'd be twice that): http://www.paddlesportsonline.com/ssrs/detail.aspx?ID=842
