"I picked these shoes for the price point, and because the internet said they would get me to the top of Rainier."
"Just to small. GREAT BOOT."
"Great boot!"
"The only small gripe that I have is that sometimes it requires some fiddling to tighten the laces just right so your ankle is snug."

Our first day on the trail turned out to be the most arduous; we both hiked in our new Keens for over 7 hours across incredibly rocky, rugged terrain. I was pleased to find that I did not notice any increased drag or feeling of a weighted foot despite being accustomed to wearing hiking shoes. Each of our days had a high of about 75 degrees F. We were (fortunately) unable to test out how well waterproofed these boots were as we had gorgeous weather the entire trip."
"I recently returned from a trip to Peru where I hiked the Inca Trail in the middle of rainy season. I initially googled the best waterproof hiking shoes and these didn't make the cut, but they were in my price range and I went for it anyway. One woman actually bought Salomon hiking boots, which were rated #1, and she was upset about the quality/the fact that her feet were damp."
"I ordered the neutral grey/mineral blue and the color was somewhat off from the photos on Amazon. I am also a street size 7.5 so I ordered an 8 since the Keen website suggested to go half a size up."
"These are great boots! I live in Western New York where it snows quite a bit for half the year, and while these won't do as true winter boots - not insulated - they've been working out great when I just need to head out for a few quick errands and don't feel like pulling on my big ol' Columbia snow boots.. the tread is wonderful and I haven't had any slips or falls in them."
"This is my first pair of hiking boots. For my Keen sandals with no socks, I stay at an 8."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I ordered a size 7 (I'm normally a size 7.5 but after trying these on in a local shoe store the size 7 seemed the best fit) thinking it was the right size. When I become tired on the trail it's a real effort not to fall because the weight of the boot and its size become burdensome."
"I have not had on a trail yet."
"They fit true to size and comfortable around the foot, but rubbed my ankle a lot."
"I'm usually a 7.5 in women's but it was way too big even with thick socks so I sent it back for a size 7 which is perfect!"
"Love these boots!"
"The only downside might be the extra room in the toe box, but I won't know for sure until I get out there and do some actual hiking in them."
"They are not too heavy either and the toe box fits my wide foot just fine."
"Laces come undone easily, but that can be fixed if I wanted to coat the laces or replace them with another kind."

"I bought these same hiking boots years ago and completely wore a first pair out. The soles protect you from the rocks and roots on trails and they are light enough for regular pavement walking."
"I love these hiking shoes."
"Very comfortable walking up hill (hiking Colorado), walking down hill they tend to slide forward smashing the toes to the end of the shoes."
"This is my 3rd pair of these hiking shoes."
"I wore these on a recent hike and they performed well."
"The sole came off while I was hiking."
"I want something comfortable with lots of support and cushioning that also has a grippy bottom that can handle loose rocks and gravel. I did not find them to be as cushiony as others reviewers did - at all...there was almost no arch support and the ball of my foot felt like it had no cushioning."
