KEEN products are consciously created using PFC-free water repellent (in applicable styles) and leather sourced from Leather Working Group (LWG)-certified tanneries.

Why Spend on the big brands
Big fan of Keen, discovered more by accident a few years back when I purchased some trail shoes that, after trying a lot of other brands were perfect and a fraction of the cost.My feet are wider than average and I was always experiencing numbness on the ball of my right foot after going for even short walks - Keen are perfect for wider feet in my experience.I'm not a professional walker, I like to go for walks 3/4 times a week and I am lucky to have easy access to some beautiful locations on my doorstep in Surrey, my average walk is about 4-6 miles and I'm not an adventurous trail runner I tend to use footpaths and trails off the beaten track and sometimes will just walk around streets and roads.I purchased a pair of LOWA Renegades a few years ago and at the time they were brilliant but a break from walking after an accident that left my eyesight damaged meant I stopped walking and wearing them, the inevitable happened and I gained weight, I started going out for walks at the beginning of the year and wore the LOWA's but they were no longer the comfortable boots they once were and after just a mile or so my right foot more than the left was totally numb and each step became more and more painful.So began the task of finding new boots to wear in the wetter/colder weather. I bought and returned Skechers and Merrell's both of which were expensive but no good for me.I was going to bite the bullet and go to Cotswold Outdoors and get my feet measured and buy boots but then I found these on Amazon at a discounted price of just £79.00 I took the plunge knowing how good my trail shoes have been and I have to say they are brilliant.I've worn them around the house and kept them on while working at home to get used to them, they are so comfortable and no numbness or other problems like rubbing or stiffness.I am yet to wear them on a walk but plan to later this week, they are very light, OK maybe not the most stylish of boots to look at but for me it's more about the comfort and the ability to wear them on the walks I do without any pain or discomfortbrhan looking good in them.They have the same waterproof tech that my trail shoes have and they have kept my feet very dry in some very challenging conditions so I have every confidence these boots will be just as good.For the money and when comparing to more expensive brands I really can't see how I can go wrong.Keen may not be the forerunner of outdoor footwear that you would consider when looking for quality outdoor footwear but they are very good and interestingly enough Cotswold Outdoors now stock and sell them so that tells me they are considered as a good brand if they sit with such footwear brands as Hoka, Salomon, Merrell and Berghaus then they must be doing something right.

By far the best boots I've ever bought.
Super wide toe box, almost zero drop (close to barefoot outsole), fantastic support, great materials, great looks, super comfortable insole, by far the best boots I've ever owned (worn daily for work and also for adventures etc.)

Like a glove
Just what I wanted. Researched for months before buying these. I walk mainly on the road and paths with about 30% gravel and grassland. Waterproof seems fine, but not tested much yet, the main thing is that they were comfortable from the box. Good grip too. Also look good.

Good boots but …
Bought these after lots of searching and review reading. Footbed is extremely comfortable with plenty of room for normal to wide feet. Grip on sole is excellent and don’t feel any pressure points from stones and rocks.My only concern is the pressure on my ankles, I’ve done well over 60 miles in these to date and they shred my ankle bones if I don’t use moleskin and thick socks!! Hopefully they will get better with more wearing in !Also quite difficult to get boots on due to tongue arrangement .If they break in they will be great boots but the jury is out

NOT waterproof
Comfortable, fairly lightweight. True to sizing.BUT: dry use only.A major reason I bought these boots is that they claim to be waterproof. They are not. The fourth time I used them, both boots leaked quite badly; i.e. after about 5 weeks = 50 miles.I thought that I might have “overtopped” them by stepping in too deep a puddle. Sadly, not the case: the next three times I used these boots, I carefully avoided puddles, but they still leaked, even when only exposed to lush wet grass.Returned and received a full refund.Incidentally, the brand name KEEN is written prominently and in very large letters on each boot. If you do not want to be a free advertising hoarding, do not buy.

Great boots
Very comfortable boot, suits my wide foot, sole could do with stiffening up a bit,but that's a minor issue as these are summer boots for me.

Not waterproof
The shoes are really comfortable and lightweight. I was really disappointed that they let me down on their first wet weather use. Just walking through at grass after 30 mins my feet were soaked. For walking on hard ground on a dry day they are perfect. But I almost have to laugh at the tag on the boot that says waterproof.

Comfortable, rugged yet light weight
I ordered these to supplement my cold weather Keen hiking boots which I have been enjoying for past few years. These light weight boots were comfortable out of the box albeit some tightness around the heel, but no blisters or rubbing occurred. They provided warmth and excellent traction the few times I have worn them in temps of 0-10 degrees C. I look forward to wearing for the summer hike season. Highly recommended.

Durable, Light, Flexible, and Supportive
This will probably be my go-to shoe I’ll just keep buying until it’s discontinued. I’m on my feet all day at work and wear them. I wear them in the snow. I wear them summer hiking. They’ve held up well for how much I wear them going on about a year.They actually feel roomier than a lot of the “wide” fit shoes I’ve tried. The only thing is the waterproof never truly seemed waterproof, and by now is definitely worn off. But they’re great as water resistant boots.

Ligeros y muy cómodos
El modelo me encanta, su ligereza hace muy fácil el llevarlos puestos, y tiene un excelente agarre, probado en un camino muy resbaladizo. Excelente para subir por cualquier superficie.

Confortable mais pas très large. Attention aux pieds larges

Pésimo distribuidor
El producto es bueno, solo tiene el detalle que en diseño de la punta del zapato lástima un poco y hay que usarlo con calcetas gruesas. En cuanto al vendedor. Pésimo servicio, envío el color incorrecto y para la devolución me hacen enviarlo a Estados Unidos, cuando el distribuidor está en México y el envío me sale más caro que comprar los zapatos.
