KEEN Butte Hiking Shoe - Women's - 2010 BCS

Just hiked through Redwoods &Yosemite.I did a range of day hikes from 4 mile hikes up to 10 miles.Wore them with and without socks. Let them break in first before wearing without socks. Had a few blisters the first time only because I wore them brand new without socks and they were wet walking after walking through streams. I wore them again without socks in Yosemite and they broke in a but, but they were dry... no blisters. Very comfy and pretty grippy when jumping around on rocks & boulders. They dry very quick after being wet if set out in sun. Good for short hikes up to 10 miles. I wouldn't use them for longer hikes than that.

I love Keen footwears. These are a bit narrower at the front comparing to the previous pair that I still have. They are still comfortable though.

Love my shoes.......!!!!

I wore these shoes in very wet, muddy conditions on a 12 day hiking trip in Costa Rica. I wore them hiking on muddy trails over steep terrain in gentle rainy conditions. My feet were dry most of the time...only getting wet when crossing streams with footholds that allowed water to get into the top openings in the shoes. The shoes were always dry by the next morning - an amazing feat in the rain forest. And the traction was great! I highly recommend this shoe. Note: I found it ran true to size; I had ordered a size bigger than my normal size based on previous reviews, but it was too big. I returned them and got my usual size 7 and they were great.

Maybe you're supposed to wear them w/ socks, but my feet were not happy about these shoes. They've got this scratchy stitching inside that gave me all sorts of blisters.
