   Most comfortable shoes ever.
   These are the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever owned. I bought them for hiking on damp mornings and in wetlands. They’re perfect for that – warm, dry and very stable. But, after less than a week of owning them, I want to wear them everywhere all the time. (So much so that just went ahead and ordered another pair of keens with a low top.) It did take a me a few days to adjust to the higher top as I usually don’t wear a mid-top shoe – but needed one for hiking during foliage as it get slippery out there – but the insoles were perfect from day one. Can’t say enough great things about the design – that wide toe box PLUS heel lock is real so you don’t feel like you’re sliding all around inside them or have to tighten the laces as far in as they go as happens in the some other zero-drop wide toe box shoes.

   Excellent but run slightly small.
   These are comfortable, sturdy, light weight, & make my big feet look great. They run a tad small though so order half a size up.

   Impressed!
   I bought these specifically to walk my dog on wet days but have found myself wearing them frequently. As others have said the fit is great with an ample toe box. They also have enough wiggle room for either regular socks or thicker socks; either way they are comfortable and keep my ankles stable. From the first day I wore them, when we walked about 4 miles, I’ve had no discomfort whatsoever. I may order another pair just to have when these ones wear out!

   Update: took forever to break in
   I have had them for a couple weeks and walked about 10 miles in them trying to break them in and get used to them. 1st issue: the toe box is actually not particularly wide. Coming from a pair of Altra hiking shoes, my feet definitely feel cramped. But I was also spoiled with that toe box, so I was willing to overlook that. It’s definitely wider than a pair of Merrells. 2nd issue: The right boot has started making a crinkling sound, like the glue is dried out and bad. 3rd issue: The left boot has a weird seam right above the pinky toe that is rough and creates blisters. This is not in the right boot. The right boot feels awesome, just makes a weird sound. For the money, I would have liked a sturdy pair of boots that didn’t cause blisters. I think Keen needs to tighten down their manufacturing. The fact that two boots in the same pair to have two very different problems, is concerning.I have a hiking trip coming up that I don’t have time to break in a new pair for, So I’m going to wrap my foot, bring some extra glue, and my old Altras for backups. Fingers crossed these hold up in the New Hampshire white mountains.**UPDATE** I took these boots with me to climb Mt. Washington. I wore them as much as possible in the days leading up to the hike. After about 15 miles of wear, they FINALLY were broken in. It was like a switch flipped and they’re super comfortable hiking boots now. The weird seam is no longer poking out, and the toe boxes loosened up. They served me quite well on Mt Washington. The soles were super grippy and worked well on wet and slushy rock. When we got into the compacted ice, i added Microspikes and the boots felt very stable with those on as well. I’ve had hiking boots where spikes felt weird, but felt fine on these. Updating to 4 stars, because I’m still not totally sure about the glue on the one boot. I took it to a bootery and they said it was fine, but without removing the sole they couldn’t be 100% sure.I recommend these IF you have the time to break them in THOROUGHLY before your adventure.

   Very comfortable, good traction
   I had no breaking in period. Wore these right out of the box on long hikes in Iceland. Kept my feed dry through shallow streams, no slippage up or down hills. I usually have problems with my toes hitting the front of shoes when going down hill but these kept my foot in place so no issues there.

   Beautiful and comfortable
   These boots stay clean even in wet grass, have comfortable support, and are high quality. They fit true to size and are easy to lace up in terms of functionality. Love them!

   Expensive boots w/ terrible grip
   I was recommended these hiking boots by my parents because I was heading to Costa Rica. I bought them back in April 24’. I used them multiple times for good lengths of time over several different terrains to break them in. I even wore them to Disneyland to walk ten miles in. Every time I wore them my feet felt like they would fall apart. So uncomfortable that I ended up purchasing inserts to put in them. Fast forward to June during my trip. I wore them on the hikes through the rain forest and let me tell you I did not feel confident in them keeping me stable one bit. I was constantly focused on where to step in fear of losing the grip. They were great to protect my feet and ankles from critters but that was it. Two days ago I was walking around the main city and had my hiking sandals on, walked 4 miles and felt great but it was starting to rain and the streets can get a little slick. I decided before heading out on a walking food tour to switch to the boots to help keep me from slipping. They did the OPPOSITE! I can’t count how many times I felt the shoe slip as I walked. Ultimately I ended up slipping and unable to save myself. I fell hard on my knee resulting in a giant slice and scrape. I couldn’t go back and change because the tour had started. So I’m walking through the city with bloody knee and walking for another 4 miles before finally making it back to the hotel and my feet were literally screaming. The tops of my feet were so strained, the bottoms hurt and I got a large blister on one of my toes (which I hadn’t gotten one yet). I would’ve felt safer in the hiking sandals and more confident in not slipping/falling. I one hundred percent wouldn’t purchase these again nor recommend them.

   I bought these to replace an old pair of Keen hikers that I absolutely loved, but they had served their time and were ready to be replaced. I can’t remember if they were Targhee’s or not, but from what my husband and I can tell, these are the boots that were most similar to my last pair.I jumped on this pair because the price was awesome, compared to ordering directly from Keen! They have the classic Keen wider toe box, which is perfect for my wide, size 8 feet. I ordered an 8, and they fit perfectly. I wore them for a day on my daughters field trip, and I can’t really say that they needed to be broken in, they were just comfy and a perfect fit from the get-go. I also wore these hiking this summer in Alberta and BC, and they were amazingly comfortable. I highly recommend if you’re looking for a hiking boot with a nice wide toe box and you don’t want to have to break them in!

    It was my first time to purchase KEEN hiking shoes, after I tried it in heavy trails , I love it ! I think I’ll consider KEEN one of my favourite brand in hiking shoes.
