Here's what other sites are saying:

From EMS:
"Too hip to keep locked up in an office, the Austin from Keen was made for urban exploration. The classic lace design gets a modern twist with waterproof leather. Metatomical footbed provides excellent arch support, cradles the foot for a great fit. Nonmarking rubber outsole for sure-footed traction. Waterproof leather upper for durable good looks. Leather and moisture-wicking textile lining. Removable metatomical footbed for quick-drying convenience. Patented toe protection protects from bumps and scrapes."

From REI:
"Urban trekkers will appreciate the old-school sneaker styling and functional design in the Austin, a classic style from Keen. Full-grain leather uppers are water- and stain-resistant yet supple for a comfortable fit; classic Blucher-style lacing secures instep. Complementary leather accents and contrast stitching around ankle and eyelets add to the hip styling; more stitched lines run from eyelets to arches. Supple leather-lined heel pockets and Cambrelle lining in the forefoot area enhance comfort and moisture control. Patented rubber Toe Guard and wraparound heels protect feet and uppers against bumps and abrasion. Removable Metatomical EVA footbeds are custom shaped to provide ample cushioning, rebound and arch support; will accommodate orthotics. Contoured EVA foam midsoles support and buffer feet against shock and fatigue. Durable, nonmarking carbon rubber outsoles are anti-slip, oil-resistant and offer ample traction in all environments."

"These shoes are sooooo comfortable. I've worn the hell out of them--they're not so pretty anymore, but I still prefer to wear them out hiking over my $200 hiking boots."
