Although I've owned several pairs of Keen's, this pair had a defect. The right boot, had a big round bump inside by the toes so I'm sending them back. Quality control dropped the ball on this pair.

Great Hiking Shoes For Her

Got these as a gift for someone and heard they have been great so far. Fit was normal for them and they have seemed to be able to take a beating.

Just hiked the JMT in these boots and they look like new.No blisters or even hot spots there great.Would highly recommend! I'm going to buy another pair to stash in case they discontinue or change the design for some reason.There not waterproof but dry ok.Wide toe box which is good for my feet!

not for me

I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

i like Keen brand but these were too clunky for me in the toe box...felt like i kept tripping and rubbed the back heel too much(could be due to .5 size too big). i prefer low hiking shoes with less bulk.

Very comfortable for hiking and the toe guard protected my feet from injury. The soles provided a lot of grip and light weight.

Straight out of the box, I wore these hiking up Angel's Landing in Zion National Park. I really don't have any complaints! Their ankle support and grip was very helpful during the hike. It was over 100 degrees but my feet never bothered me as being too hot (as opposed to just being hot in general). When purchasing I kept going back and forth between these and the waterproof ones but these were probably more breathable in comparison. I went up a half size but I typically do in sneakers (I'm a solid 10 but went up to a 10.5). I've dealt with issues in my big toe so having enough room was important to me. I like the toe protection on this boot. I did a ton of research for my first pair of hiking boots and I'm glad I chose these-I would recommend these to anyone! Also backcountry has the most impressive customer service so I would recommend purchasing with them.

I've always loved Keen! No break in required....comfortable straight out of the box! This pair seems to have less arch support than previous versions though. Not quite as cushiony. Still a great boot though! Seem to fit just a bid wide on my foot, and I have wide feet.

Alright, this might be a little preempted but I love the boots thus far. I've only taken these boots on 2 hikes, the first hike was a short warm-up hike, just 3 miles on pretty rocky/mountainous terrain and they were amazing! The boots are super light, which helped with large steps up and the soles were extra grippy, this helped when scaling dusty, slick rock. The most recent hike was a 10 mile hike, mostly on dirt & rocks. They handled the uneven ground great plus, were completely dry after walking through streams and after 10 miles (on their second outing) I had NO BLISTERS. So far, I have nothing to complain about with these boots!

I could not find what I was looking for shopping for hikers locally. Found these and thought they'd be okay, well they turned out to be great. Love them, they were comfortable right off the up. Now I use them everywhere I go, they feel good and look good. Met my expectation hands down. And of course they come with me hiking to my favorite places.

Wear them everyday!

My first pair of hiking boots and I must say I wear them everyday! I work on boats everyday and bought them for their durability and toe protection. They aren't 100% water proof but still comfortable and worth every penny.

Women's Hiking Boot

I didn't know what to expect with this boot and all I can say is WOW! I haven't given it a real workout on trails yet but have worn it several times and love it. Very comfortable and so light you don't even know you are wearing a shoe. Have worn it with regular socks and also with hiking socks; both equally comfortable. Would recommend this shoe to anyone. And, by the way, I am in physical therapy for some balance issues and the therapist also said it was a very good shoe.

Keen does it again

Best ever. Lightweight, supportive, just the best. Did get one small hot spot first time out, but nothing since.

One of the Best I've Had!

This is one of the best hiking boots I have owned. I have a wide foot and appreciate how much room I have in the toes! But, what initially attracted me to these boots was the style - absolutely love them.

Comfortable, lightweight boot

Didn't believe other reviewers until I tried them for myself ... these boots ARE very comfortable right out of the box. A little break in time is never a bad thing, so I started out with an easy 1-mile trek on a dirt trail. They were great, no rubbing, no sore spots. This is the first time I have ever ordered shoes online, and fully expected to need to return them to exchange sizes. But it didn't happen. I read every review I could find and listened carefully to the majority of reviewers and ordered 1/2 size larger than my regular shoe size. I have average feet ... normal arch, B width ... but do like to wear midweight socks when I hike so wanted something with a little room for cushy socks. These Keens were right on and they are keepers. Perfect fit and lightweight for my hikes with kids.

so great i bought another pair!

these boots are amazing! i got them for desert hiking after reading reviews of how they seemed to do well in those conditions. immediately, they were comfortable. prep involved a couple of 1 hour hikes, but no real break in to speak of. the big test came on a canyoneering outing that was about 12 miles long and 13.5 hours in duration. in all that heat and sand slogging i never even came close to getting a blister. while nearly every other member of my party was layed up with blisters the size of golf balls, i was ready to jump up and go for more! (after a night's sleep and a couple gallons of water). another thing that really impressed me was the incredible grip that these boots have. in dry conditions, i can be standing on a near vertical slope of rock and my feet don't slide at all. i lose my balance before my feet lose grip. now, i have noticed a downside that can be expected of soft grippy soles, and that is that they wear out faster than if they were stiff. the tread on the bottom is noticeably worn after about 10 months of heavy use. this is a small sacrifice though in exchange for such great performance. i love these so much that when the they went on sale i bought another pair so i'd have them when the first wears out.

Great Hiking Boot

Super comfortable from day one. I love the larger Keen toe box, and the laces hold my foot tight enough that my toes don't get crammed into the front when going down steep hills. Recommended.

Great yet not perfect

I was preparing for a trip to Belize, which I knew would include some hiking. After looking at a lot of different options, I decided to go with the Keens because of their great reputation. Everyone I spoke to that had a pair LOVED them. I was very excited to receive them, and I agree with the other reviewers that they were true to size and ready-to-wear right out of the box. They handled a local 7 mile hike without issue, and I was very eager to use them in Belize. While in Belize, we went to the ATM, which includes a 45 minute hike through a nature preserve (crossing over 3 different streams, one of which is chest high) and ultimately walking and climbing in a cave for 4 hours. The streams had rocks that ranged in size from pebbles to more formidable boulders. I could feel every sharp edge of those rocks under my boots. Walking out of the stream, I could see the water streaming out of the vented areas of the boots. They didn't dry out on the hike, which wasn't surprising given the amount of time we were in the water while in the cave. After sitting out for 2 days without the insoles, they did completely dry, and they look great! Overall, I think they're just short of awesome. If they handled the rocks a bit better, I'd buy pair after pair.

What happened???? I have a pair of these...

What happened???? I have a pair of these (purchased fall of 2007) that ARE waterproof that I've worn to shreds. When I tried to replace them I was told that they don't make the waterproof version now. I'm very sad, WHY NOT,??!! they were the BEST!
