Description of KEEN Shellrock WP Day Hiking Shoe - Women's:
The KEEN Women's Shellrock WP Trail Running Shoes use softshell uppers and waterproof breathable eVENT inserts to protect against all moisture without making your feet feel clammy. Thanks to a totally stitchless design, the Shellrock WP Trail Running Shoes' upper leaves no space for a single drop of moisture to get inside. KEEN's clean, lightweight design keeps you fast on your feet, and their dual-density outsoles ensure solid traction every step of the way.
Bottom Line: Take advantage of softshell technology in your footwear by hitting the trail in the KEEN Shellrock WP Trail Running Shoes.
This is my second pair of Keen Shellrocks and my third pair of Keen work-out shoes. I loved my first pair of Keen work-out shoes and my first pair of the Shellrocks, which I wore until the soles wore out and the sides split. However, this second pair has a hard piece in the tongue of the left shoe which is very uncomfortable and which has left a bruise on the top of my foot. Ouch. I prefer some of the other Keen shoes over this particular style.

Great shoes that are waterproof and have arch support 09-29-09
I've been wearing my new Keens for a little over a month now. They are doing everything I wanted them to do. They have good arch support, are actually waterproof, and quite comfortable.
Tongue-Yes, the seam in the tongue did cause a few issues. It doesn't feel lumpy but the seam between the waterproof fabric and the regular fabric on the tongue does press against the top of your foot the first couple of times. Having been warned, I tied them a little loose the first couple of times and only wore them for shorter periods of time before testing them all day. I didn't have any problems with the tongue after about a week and a half.
Waterproof-Yes, the shoes are waterproof. I tested that out last week when I rode my bike home in the rain. My feet were staying completely dry until I rode through a puddle deeper than I thought. I splashed water up and got my socks all wet. The water from my socks eventually wicked down to make my feet wet but it wasn't do to the shoes. Guess I need waterproof socks now...

Awesome shoe, just watch the tongue folds 06-12-09
These sneaks are fantastic - lightweight, comfy, plenty of support and cushion. The only thing to note, as others have, is that the tongue design could be better. Definitely wear them around a little bit before you need to go hiking. The tongue folds tend to hurt a little bit on the top of your feet. Otherwise awesome shoe!
