The only negative? They aren't designed for longer hikes. My feet were feeling it after the 10 mile mark. The light weight construction means that there isn't as much cushioning as your standard pair of heavy hiking boots. The best use is for short day hikes with water. Also, if you do a rocky trail, those little annoying rocks will sometimes get stuck inside the shoe. Overall, I'm happy with my Keens.
