Nice comfortable shoes

By Karen Ranked #415 - Women's Hiking Shoes June 22, 2009

These are my first pair of Keen, my husband had a pair of the Newport Trails and always talked of how comfortable they were.

We had started hiking alot this year and I needed something waterproof, but also wanted a pair of shoes that I could wear anytime, not just on the trails. I liked the look of these, so I first went to REI to try a pair on for size. I did not need to go up a half size like alot of others suggest. I have had no problems with my toes touching or hitting the end of the shoes. I think everyones feet are different and would highly suggest finding a local shop to try on a pair before ordering over the internet. I did notice the Keen waterproof shoes are a little more snug that the regular ones, but it hasn't been a problem for me and they seem to have molded well to the shape of my feet.

So anyway, I came home and ordered from backcountry since they had the color I wanted and a great price. Right when I got them, I put them on and we went for a good hike on rough terrain. They made the bottom of my feet feel a little raw, but it didn't take long for me to break them in and they have turned out to be very comfortable. I havent had any soreness whatsoever since. They feel very well constructed and I love the fact that I can step through shallow streams and mud and haven't had any water leak through. I wear them wherever I go, sometimes even to the office.
