But, here's my caveat: Size up at least half a size, if not a full size. The tongue is sort of asymmetrical/curved and there's something about that shape that *really* hurts the top of my foot after even limited wear 🥲 As a point of contrast, the 3sixteen campus boots are a lot more comfortable even though you'd expect hikers to be more comfortable than leather boots.

Thoughts on Keen? The Jasper certainly has traction but the lower profile, more textured jasper rocks is great and lesser seen.
Tarvas Explorers need adding to this list!
never heard of 'em, look great
