If the shoe fits, definitely wear these
First new set of hiking boots I’ve bought in over ten years and these are wonderful. Fit and waterproofing have been well tested and are amazing. I have a wider foot to begin with so it takes a minute for me to find something that really fits my foot but these boots fit like a glove for me minute one and have not disappointed or degraded in comfort since my purchase prior to a 2 week backpacking excursion earlier this summer and on into hunting season this past fall. Both my sons also found the fit to work well for them also with only one of them needing any additional support insoles to help. The fit me perfectly out of the box and I expect to get year worth of use out of them at this point. Great traction for the woods that allowed me to ford slippery creeks here and there and still have decent footing was a blessing.

Most comfortable and easy on "high top" boot
Great boots. Actually this is the third pair of high top Keen (10 inch) boots that i have bought in the last six months. My wife thinks I'm a boot junky, and I guess I probably am. My life style gravitates toward back country enjoyments and I am always on the lookout for the most up scale, high tech boots on the market. This dates back to the '70s when I did a lot of really rugged sheep hunting here in Alaska. Seems like every few years or so I would fall for the latest and greatest boots, and were often satisfied, but often disappointed as well. But these Keen boots are really great.The first Keen boots that I bought were the Summit County Boot and they stayed in their box for two months as i just wasn't ready to break in a new set of boots. But when I did, I had to say "wow." My requirements generally look for comfort, ease of putting on and lacing up, and a stiff enough platform for sidehilling and standing up to sharp rocks. These boots are very comfortable, easy to get into, and they cling snugly to my feet without heal slippage. While I haven't done much sidehilling with them yet, I have put a lot of miles on them in rugged country. I liked them so much that I immediately ordered a pair of Keen Coburg Steel toed waterproof work boots. I bought these boots because I do a lot of tree felling and bucking in dense forest for fire wood harvesting. While I don't have as much time in these boots yet, they seem every bit as comfortable and functional the Keen Summit boots.So, now that winter has arrived, I just had to spring for the KEEN Revel IV High Polar Boot as well -- and they do not disappoint. Temperatures here in the Wrangell Mountains can easily drop to minus 30F and these boots keep me quite warm so long as I stay active to keep the circulation up. The boots are easy on and off and the high tops keep the snow out. The tread seems good on ice. The waterproofing is good, but I did treat the boots with snowseal, Overall, I am very happy with these boots and will probably cycle into some future version of these Keen brand boots when these finally wear out. Great boots. Can't say enough good things about them.

Great boots
I’ve previously bought Rocky’s but these boots had comfort right out of the box! Paired with hollow socks my feet were never wet or cold. I hunted all day in 15 degree temperatures and never once were my feet cold. It was cold, I didn’t have feelings in my hand for 3 days if that says anything!

So far I'm quite pleased
I received them a few days ago.Out of the box I found them to be quite comfortable. I haven't worm them for an extended period yet, since I bought them for winter and it's been in the 90's.Size wise, they seem to be sized properly, no need to order up or down in size. The only reason i did nor give them 5 stars is because they are a bit wide. Not that bad, but if they had fit perfect they would have got the extra star.I don't yet know about their insulative effectiveness, or how they are ro spend a full day walking around in yet.But so far, they're great.

Great boot, worth the price
Bought these for hiking and quick chores. Maintain good warmth even with regular boot socks in high 20’s weather. There was a noticeable difference when just standing still and moving, while standing still my toes did get cold, but once I started moving they warmed up, again this was with a pair of regular boot socks.The sole did provide good traction on icy surfaces.Over the ankle coverage was good and allows for walking through undergrowth without a problem. Managed to walk around for a few hours and while lower pants legs got soaked I hadn’t noticed it due to boots doing what they’re supposed to.Breaking them in was quick, ankle lace points do cause a little discomfort until they broke in.Pricey but Keen has a great product here.

Not warm, ice traction non-existent
Bought these to replace an older version that lasted a long time and were super comfy, but they only had 200g insulation and were never warm enough. These new ones look nice, and claim to have 400g insulation, but there is no way. These are no better than my more normal everyday Keen workbooks as far as warmth...absolutely no difference. Your feet will be cold, quickly. There is also no difference in traction with the "ice" sole....these slip as much as any normal boots. Wish I hadn't bought these in June as I couldn't see these issues then and would have returned them right away. As far as comfort, the soles feel good but they dig in to the outside of top of the ankle on both boots really bad. Skip these boots if your looking for warm toes or good traction, these feel uninsulated.
