I have to chime in with a vote for Keens. I wore my best tennies last fall and though I didn't get blisters, still had sore feet one day. My DDIL brought her KEENS and had the happiest feet of us all - and she is a little on the heavy side and doesn't walk. I didn't believe it but day after day her feet were happy. So my other DDIL comes home from China wearing - yes KEENS! Walks all over the place and swears by hers. I am heading out to REI to get me some tomorrow!
