I thought they were great right out of the box but after wearing them for about an hour , I realized that the bottoms felt a bit hard so I replaced the KEEN insoles with some new softer ones that I had on hand. To me , it was like night and day and now I love these boots. OH , I should mention that the low cut on the rear of the left boot seemed to be digging into the back of my ankle but after stretching it back and forth it got as comfortable as the right boot . Now I'm perfectly happy with these boots. Waterproof , I don't know and don't plan on wearing them through puddles or standing water. I will probably wash the car while wearing them but I am also going to spray some water proofing on them which might help if they are not water proof or I might be just wasting my spray water proofing.
These boots were comfortable for me right out of the box. Plenty of room room for my toes to spread some while hiking. I wear metatarsal pads for Mortons neuroma so I have a difficult time finding shoes that have a wide toe box that can also handle the added padding and wrap that hold the metatarsal pads in place.i look forward to the shoes loosening a little more so I can get a thicker sock to when it's needed. These boots have a very supportive heel that keeps your heel in place but still allows my ankle to flex when going uphill. I'm planning on staying with these boots for a long Grand Canyon hike next month.**********UPDATE***********Completed R2R with these. The boots performed like they should and my feet are appreciative. No blisters (teamed up with the Sockguy's wool blend,thin sock) or hotshots. I began having some pain due to the Morton's neuroma about 10 miles into it but I was able to easily adjust and pain subsided quickly. The interior boot lining did hold the sweat in more than I'd like but I'm willing to sacrifice that for the ankle support and protection, as well as the flexibility of the outersole to allow my feet just enough flexibility to help my feet work as they should. It's been 48 hours since the hike and just some calf tightness and sore hips. I don't think I can blame the shoes for that.
I live a few feet from the Atlantic and walk the beach every morning with the dog, about 3 miles. During the winter months there are wide fresh water swales from culverts that require waterproofing. Perfect height and very, very warm. I bought these in September 2022, so far they're dry as a bone. Nice wide toe box helps keep my feet comfortable without any trauma whatsoever. Fantastic arch support and can accommodate any orthotic which I use. I had previously wore some Merrell boots and while comfortable, the toe box became thin over a few months until finally, they tore. Goodbye waterproofing. Very disappointing especially considering the cost. Highly recommend these boots for what I described.
Waterproof and supportive (but I needed a better insole for forefoot cushioning and arch). Great for even more than minor snow (if you use gaiters when it's real deep). Very good toebox room in both versions, high top and low, which is important to me. I definitely recommend this model.
Recently purchased a pair for a trip to Brazil. I have now had the chance to trek in Brazil and in Northern New Hampshire snow and I’m impressed.I bought these and some Keen water shoes, I have never really been a fan of this company and these where my first sets from them. Phenomenal shoes. I experienced no break in or blisters, they are true to size, and the insoles are super comfy. They performed well and have great grip. They are also light weight.I walked through a stream of heavy rain water coming down a road in Brazil and had no leaking issues. They also decently handled the damp humid environment. They were a little toasty is my only complaint.I returned home to northern NH and below zero weather and just as impressed. Warm, great traction, and no wet feet.Keen is a great brand. Highly recommend these!
TLDR; Very poor quality, falling apart after 6mo of light use. Read below for more;Keens are normal pretty decent shoes but these are just disappointing. I bought them to use for daily use at school overseas and in only 6 months of daily use (walking everyday, light trail hikes 2-3 times a week) they are destroyed. The left shoes it's mesh later started to tear so I fixed it with some orange string I had lying around as you can see in the photo. Then the top shoestring clip broke so I couldn't actually lace them up to the top anymore. The left shoe followed suit but instead of the outer mesh later ripping the inner waterproof one did too, so it doesn't even keep my feet dry. They are coming apart at the seams quite literally and I would have returned them if I had been able to, as mentioned before I was overseas though and couldn't ship them back. Really disappointed in these since I've had $15 Walmart boots last a full year which these didn't even manage at almost 7x the price.
