Whether you’re strolling through downtown Breckenridge or hoofing it to the train in a whiteout, the KEEN Men’s Summit County Winter Boot blocks the cold, wet weather with a KEEN.DRY waterproof breathable membrane and toasty warm KEEN.WARM insulation. KEEN also added more insulation in the toe area to keep your sensitive digits comfortable. The Dual Climate rubber outsole solidifies in cold weather to give you a better grip on slick sidewalks and icy driveways, and the molded rubber Shellback heel support gives you a rigid platform for snowshoeing or winter hiking.
Bottom Line: Spare your feet from harsh winter weather.
I own a lot of keen shoes. If you like a roomy toe box, great support, and high quality Keen's are a great choice. These are very warm, well constructed (as usual), great traction, support, and waterproofness. I haven't had them on a hike but I have been on an hour walk in snow and sludge with no problems. Most people will probably take a half size smaller than even their normal Keen size. I usually wear a 13, which is what I ordered in these as they don't offer halfs above 12. I wear thin socks and stack my custom insole on the warm insole that comes with the shoe. The same thing could probably be achieved with thick winter socks. Personally, I had no warmth issues with a thin sock. The only potential problem for some will be the fit at the shin since these are high boots.They initially rubbed. I experimented with the lacing and tension and had no issues on an hour walk after I got it dialed in.
I have not really ever worn high boots before, and once you get used to them rubbing on your shins (loosen the laces and problem sovled) they work very well. Keeping my feets warm and dry. There has been a lot of ice out there lately, living in alaska you get that, and the traction is great. They are excellent boots.
So far so good with these boots. They fit just like my other Keens. They do gain room inside as you wear them, so don't but they too loose. I for one don't think they are as warm as some folks make them out to be. They are great for hiking, running around town, to the dog park, etc. I wouldn't however wear them for some stationary cold weather activity. But, if they were warmer, then they'd be bulky. So it's a trade off.
My ultimate reccomendation is to go somewhere and try them, but If you need an answer, I'd say no. Keen's in general offer a roomeier fit and an open toe box. I'm able to use the warm insoles they come with and my custom insoles stacked on top without a problem as long as I wear thin socks.
Great boot, it is very lightweight and they are pretty comfortable. I haven't had them out 35 below to see if they stay true to the statement. However, it is slick and icy out and they slipped. Not as much as others, but it was very icy out. Other than that they are great boots.
I have been hiking/snowshoeing in these all winter long and I love them. I spend most of my time hiking around the salmon river area on STEEP, rocky slopes and the boots have held up well to the abuse I give them and they are great for snowshoeing as well. I have wide, sensitive feet and these have been a dream.
I tried them a couple of times. They were really great with the exception of warmth. My feet tend to run very cold and that was also the case with these boots. Aside from that they were great!I use them in Northern Vermont, good for treking across a field, but when I try to climb Mt. Mansfield, they are not up to the subzero cold and double digit negative wind chill.
I've found these boots to be extremely warm, especially in the toes, and very nicely supportive in the ankle region. So far I've used them for snowshoeing, winter camping and regular wandering around in the snow. My only complaint has been that when ascending my feet may get a little too warm, but that isn't really a con at all. On descents and just standing around that extra bit of insulation in the toes is great.
These are good for winter camping if your feet don't run cold. Mine do so I couldn't use them. You can use non-neumatic crampons with them. They run true to size but you may upsize .5 for thicker socks.Hope that helps.
These boots are phenomenal in all ways and perfect for deep powder activity. Your feet breathe in them and there is perfect watertight construction. Couldn't be better..
I work as a land surveyor so I was looking for winter boots that will keep me warm for a whole day. I tried those boots in every situation (snowshoeing, powder, slush...) and they passed the test especialy keeping my toes warm. Keen dry works even better then I thought!
I have used these winter camping above timberline. They performed extremely well. They are comfortable and very warm. Have been completely waterproof so far.
I picked these boots up this weekend and have worn them around a bit. They are a little stiff but very warm. They fit a half size small I wear a 10 bit 10.5's fit perfect. I am hoping to do some snowshoeing this winter; I will report back later this winter.
Warm and comfortable! I enjoyed them as soon as I put them on. Today we had snow and less slip than usual during the shoveling ordeal. I keep the laces loose so they slip on and tighten them up when required. Great boot!
These boots are great. Very comfortable and very well made. They do run a 1/2 size big as Keen states on their website. I have a wide foot and there is lots of width. Rated for very cold temps and my feet didn't get wet while working indoors. I am very happy with these.
Bought these boots for the winter season, and decided to test them a little early. Put about 50 miles on them so far and they get better each time I put 'em on! They are incredibly warm and when they say waterproof, they mean it!
Great product and would recomend to anyone looking for a great cold weather boot!
I have worn these boots at - 29 and had warm feet/ but not for standing around you need to be moving used for snowshoeing and worked great very comfortable fit and good suport. The one problem I had is the sole started to come unglued after 1 month of use. So I am waiting for another pair, but I did want another pair as these are a great boot for active winter fun. I would give them 5 star but not sure how durable the second pair will be
I got a pair of 10.5's and they felt a little snug on my left toes. I saw online that people thought they ran a little small and recommended that one should get a half-size larger than they "normally" wear. I ordered an 11 and spent about hour rapidly switch-hitting around my apartment. I felt that the extra toe room on the 11's was slightly greater than I hoped but thought it was something I could get used to, even though, miraculously, at that point the 10.5's didn't seem as snug. However, the reason I chose to keep the 10.5's was that with the extra toe room on the 11's there also came extra width and height around the ankles and lower shin. Consequently, I found myself tightening them up which made them feel more clunky and less sporty and streamlined. Add to that my understanding that these boots have proved to be satisfyingly warm for others and I foresaw myself desiring the option to wear thinner socks when I will be in and out of doors with equal duration for an afternoon free of toting additional footwear.
I ordered these for my husband for x-mas & just got them exchanged for his correct size--my mistake! He's told me that they are very warm on his feet & not overly heavy. The only complaint i've heard is that they go up his shins a little & hurt a little when he leans forward. It could be that he's not used to having boots that go that far up his leg. Overall though, a great buy & definately worth the price!
