cozy comfy fit, and wide...one of the better designs for keen. i don't like the look of a lot of their products, but always hear the rave about them being comfy. took em snowshoeing and they did fine. waterproofing works great on em. if you're looking for a more durable sole, practically anything vibram or skywalk.

Seemed like a great boot, but they are running a half size small and unfortunately I could not find a 11.5 anywhere.

I have tried on every brand of hiking boot and these fit me the best. My ankles are on the narrow side. One boot fitter said the front of my feet curved inward. The net result is these boots provide enough space for my big toe. My only complaint is that the sole is not as stiff as a Scarpa (or other expensive boots) of equal weight and they do not seem to be made as sturdy. On the other hand the center of gravity is lower. I have found that the Keen sizes run about one size small. I have been told I am a size 10.5 many times and I require a 11.5 in a Keen

I haven't owned a pair of hiking boots since I was 8. Now at 48, I'm getting back into it and I'm so glad a Cabelas store salesman turned me on to Keen which I knew nothing about. I have difficulty fitting technical footware such as ski boots and now hiking boots as I have relatively wide feet (11W) and almost a 1/2 size difference between them due to a broken leg at 12. These boots are incredibly comfortable with NO BREAK IN needed. All their sizes should have a (WIDE) designation next to them but they don't. The larger toe box area is very nice as well. I have used them on two extensive day hikes in the White Mountains of NH and not a singe incident of discomfort or blister. My Wife tried the brand in women's, but she has normal to narrow feet and could not find a comfortable fit. This model gives a little more positive ankle support than the Voyagur or Targhee.
