User Reviews
These really are more running shoe than boot. I bought them thinking that they may be boot like but it says it in the title of the product.With that being said, I’ve been wearing these on a deployment for a while now, they are incredibly comfortable and breathable for the extreme heat that I’m often spending prolonged periods of time in. They don’t provide a ton of support in the footbed, but Not to the point it’s a problem. The downside for these is that they will not do a great job of protecting your feet from dust/sand. They don’t advertise that they would and one shouldn’t expect it based on the design, I’m just saying it to provide context to any military folks considering these for wear. Great for hot weather but you will likely see some moon dust or sand enter your shoe and cause problems. Nothing that can’t be dumped out occasionally but it’s not the same protection from the elements that a full leather exterior would give.I love these boots still, and can say with some pretty high confidence that they’re durable and I can assure you they’re comfortable as hell.A side note: keens seem to have a pretty wide shoe, which I really liked. I found Salomon’s (the initial boot I bought to deploy in) to be too narrow and decided to try these. I am now a keen fanboy for life, they’re built to an actual human foot in my opinion.
These are the best boots I ever had. Tried almost every major boot brand there is, i didn’t want to take these off once I put them on, perfect natural foot shaped wide boot. Extremely comfortable and well built! I have not tested their durability, I’ll be using these for work and will soon find out, but I immediately knew after trying these on that these are superior boots. I’ll never buy another brand again as long as they continue to make shoes in this natural foot shape similar to the Altra hiking shoe fit.I order a 13 wide in ever shoe brand, sometimes the wide isn’t wide enough… these keen hiking boots in reg size 13 fit instantly amazing! I’m really impressed
First hike in these was 7.3 miles and my feet loved these
Very flexible and roomy summer time hiker. Typical keen roomy toe box, grippy softer tread out souls. Lots of padding around the ankle, nice hiking boot.
Nice and lightweight, very comfortable for being on your feet all day.
These are mislabeled these are men's boots not women's. They are under the men's section in the keen store here on Amazon. They fit true to size for men's 11.5. Extremely comfortable
I hike with my dog every morning, usually in the woods. I have a few pair of hiking boots but really needed on that wasn't waterproof. Waterproof is good when yo need it but on me they get really warm, too warm. These new Keens solve that problem and have to added bonus of being very light. They are also very comfortable.
The description says women’s but I definitely got the men’s version. I wear them every day at work and they are comfortable and durable.
