Okay, I tried the tie that snugs it at the ankle for my hike on Sunday. Perfect! The Keens felt awesome, never a moment of discomfort, and I felt fully supported and sure-footed.

Fascinating video! Thank you. I'm bookmarking it.

Hope you love your Keens like I love mine. Spent part of my year-end bonus on them at REI. :D

Hope it works for you. And enjoy the 'testing' of your new boots.

And your blog is a great reminder that lacing techniques can significantly alter the feel of boots, especially if it is snug in one part of the foot but flopping all over the place in another.

I think I might have found mine...
I won't be able to really hike it until Saturday & will report back.
Hoping this will be the end of black toes and sore heels.
