Not Waterproof

I too, found my right boot leaked and a lot more than than the left. During a rare down pour here in southern NV., I was five miles from camp with hail and rain, by the time I got back, my right foot was pretty wet and the left boot was letting in some water. I ended up spraying the heck out of them with Nikwax. I have a pair of Vasque Breeze's that have never let water in.
Second, the boots don't breathe very well, kind of hot for desert hiking.
The Good News:
Break-in took no time at all, large toe box doesn't crush your toes. Excellent support and light weight.
I'll still use them, but not in the rain.

the vasque breeze are excellent shoes. you can never go wrong with gore-tex, and keen has a knock off that isn't what you'd hope for. i've also found some issues in longevity of the soles on multiple pairs of keens i've owned.
