Of 13 I tried, these are the best boot in this price range I could find. I love these boots
I am absolutely sold on KEEN boots. I owned a pair before these... I bought them locally at a store that no longer carries the Keens. So, when they were shot out, (about 5 years of a lot of wearing, working/hiking) still water proof, still holding up, the foot bed is basically breaking down, I decided to look at buying another set of boots. I literally bought 13 pairs of boots and had a try-on party at my house while my wife was out of town!!! I tried everything in this price range from boots I never heard of to Merrels. Nothing was quite as comfy as the KEENs. I have some problem with my arches and heels... These are as good as my HOKA tennis shoes. waterproof to the top, and solid. I hiked the next weekend... great, no pain and the high ankle clearly saved my ankle in a mistep that would have cause a rolled ankle in a lower boot. I cannot express how much I love these boots.

Great work boot
My husband works at a grocery warehouse in the frozen foods department. We are always on the hunt for quality shoes that can stand the freezing temperature. We tried another Keen brand boot and they were comfortable but would only last about 3 months. I ran across this shoe and decided to give them a try. After about 3 weeks, he was able to break these boots in. They are comfortable and they have good traction. We feel like this winter boot will withstand the cold temperatures and last more than three months. We love the craftsmanship and quality of this boot.

GREAT boot!
This is my second pair of this style. I love them. I work a very physical job, and routinely get 15-20k steps a day - often with difficult work in all types of weather. My last pair I bought last November, and they are still going strong. I bought the second pair recently, as we prep for winter. And, the good news - Keen has upgraded the laces. My last review, I gave them 3 stars just because of the cheap laces they shipped with. And, most other reviews mentioned that as well. Great to see that Keen heard our voices and responded.These boots are warm, but they breathe. They have been solidly wolarerproof for 10 months... without additional treatment. They support my arches very well, and are very comfortable from the state, with just a bit of break in, they molded to my feet perfectly. Here is a pro tip to make these great boots TOP of the line - spend 30.00 for a pair of Carhartt insoles and replace the ones Keen ships them with.Well done, Keen. Thank youDenver, Colorado

Worth Considering
Within their limits, I've found these to be pleasant winter boots. I like Keens in general because of the wide toe box and somewhat of a rocker sole, both of which are kind to my old arthritic toes. These are well padded, which adds to their comfort and warmth. The padding also makes them a bit sloppy, and I find they needed regular re-tightening as the padding packs down. They also run a bit large. I usually buy a wide width, and these are more than wide enough in the standard width. My 11D feels more like and 11 1/4EE.The soles are a softer compound than most hiking boots, which makes them better on ice and packed snow. So far they've been waterproof and warm and very comfortable. The trade off is mostly in less than rigid ankle support and in general sloppiness. I've found that Keen's quality control and construction is somewhat hit and miss, and I don't expect a particularly long life from these boots.I also own the Keen's Summit County III Winter Boots, which are very similar to these except taller and warmer and better for deep snow. The soles are a little different, but the rest of my review would be the same as for the Revel's. Both boots are a bit bulky and numb for driving, but not impossible. Good enough for my purposes.

Great Boots
Second pair of these I’ve purchased. 1st pair lasted two winters delivering packages up to 12 hours a day in the northeast. I’ve been through a lot of different boots in the last 20 years, these have been my favorite. Warm - but not too warm, actually waterproof, and great fit. Most shoes I need to order wide width, but these fit perfect in regular. They have a roomy toe box and the length is true to size. Very comfortable with almost no break in time. The soles hold up well and get excellent traction on snow. I use Stabilicers Lite with them on the ice. Perfect fit with the ridges on the heels, easy to put on/ take off and very effective. There’s also a metal hook in front of the bottom lace that works great with OR snow gaiters. Highest recommendation for these boots!
