KEEN Men's Voyageur Mid Height Breathable Hiking Boots

waterproof

Waterproof boots are just too hot and don't breath enough for warm weather.

Ironically waterproof boots make your feet wet from sweat.

waterproof boot

strap

I think this is because on the Targhee there is a hard plastic strip that runs along both sides of the outside of the shoe and does not allow this area to splay or stretch when your foot is in the boot.

Voyageur had better laces that are “wave” construction instead of smooth like Targhee.

had to return/exchange

but they run about half a size small so I had to return the first pair I ordered.

width foot

but then sometimes my foot slides around because the only part of my foot that is “wide” is forefoot etc.

keen

Comfortable and great support
Keen shoes have reliably for my size 15 foot for years.

They are the first high top hiking boots I've purchased from Keen, and are very comfortable.

This is why these Keen non-waterproof boots are a great find.

fit width

Good wide fitting and no breaking in very happy

boot

They definitely are better than my Colombia boots, in both durability and quality.

However I do get more padding and support from my Merrell hiking boots.

I order the same boots as they are my favourite.

Great boot
Left is new Voyageurs, right is new Targhees.

The boots I did buy were from a competitor and they did the job too well.

but I still don't know of any boots that would have held up as long as they did without some deterioration.

comfortable

Comfortable from the moment you put them on.

Soooo comfortable
On the first day I got these I wore them for 14 hrs straight and it was like walking around in sneakers.

Again, super comfortable right out of the box!

The Targhee sole & underfoot does appear more comfortable.

But they were comfortable, sturdy and delivered exactly what I was looking for.

heel

Maybe softer bottoms and do I wore a hole in back heel area.

Little bit of friction when pulling laces tight because of strap that goes  back around heel, stays tight after tied.

wear damage

strap tightness

soft sole

Climbing and walking on rocky ground the sole is a little soft

The most comfortable Keen boot I have owned thus far, and I have owned many pairs.


This is my third pair of Keen walking boots - so I was already a fan of the brand.

Keen boots come with extra room to be able to stack another insole.

so have found the Keen wide fit option provides the perfect fit for me.

I prefer wide fit boots for extra toe room & a wide toe box and these boots do not disappoint.

Work Boots for Inspector
These boots feel good so far .

Freedom of movement and excellent comfort
I like the flex zone that is built into these boots.

but I don't wear a wide Size yet these boots have a little extra wiggle room, not a tight Toe box.

I have loved these boots for hiking, especially in cold weather/rough terrain!

As warm as these boots are in the winter, they are not overly hot in the summer either making it a good choice for multi-seasonal footwear!

but were comfortable enough to go hiking in straightaway.

Did a 10km hill walk in the boots on the weekend and perfectly comfortable from the first to the last step.

Not only did they fit like a glove from the get go,

sole

The shoe failed at the front and sides of the sole because of glue failure.

I will Never understand why they don't stitch the soles on.

The foot pad is ultra cheap, quite flat and spongy and is used as tiny billboard for advertising.

inexpensive

half-size

I should have ordered a half size larger.

Also, I had to exchange my normal 10.5 size for an 11 so get a half size larger when you order.

work wear

Lasted just over 1 year
The shoes lasted 13 months of wearing every day outside at work.

Bellows tongue doesn't extend to the top lace so possibility of water getting in there perhaps.

In the past I've gotten Keen Voyageur and Keen Koven which were both excellent in terms of general width and arch support.


Have worn keen work boots for years and love them.

Made my feet happy from day 1
I have worn a different model of Keen boots for 12 or 15 years (3 pairs, I think).

wide fit, light weight, waterproof, all as expected.

hiking

Great hiking shoes (great during wet conditions)
I’m very happy with these hiking shoes.

comfortable right out of the box
Bought these for my husband for a trip to the Rockies for hiking and city walking.

I wore them the next day for a 3-mile hike and they felt really good - no break-in period required.

But for my purposes, these hikers are perfect.

width

While he has a somewhat narrow foot this pair of shoes is comfortable.

Also I had to cinch the heck out of the bungee fastener to get the shoe to stay on and not slip off my heel when I walked.

I had to cinch the heck out of the bungee fastener to make the shoes stay on and not slip off my heel when I walked.

She had previously tried the Keen Newport H2 and Venice and found them to be too roomy and slipped off the back of her heel.

She finds that to cinch the Clearwater tight enough to where there is no heel slip the material folds over and if not positioned just right, can dig into the top of her foot.

uncomfortable

This had the effect of folding over excess fabric in the mono-sock collar design of the shoe and would dig into the top of my foot uncomfortably.

I tried the Men’s CNX Clearwater size 9.5 and found they were just not long enough for my foot and my toe just slightly hit the toe cap of the shoe in an uncomfortable way.

When I do find that, it creates a great amount of artificial pressure on my tendon and is painful and torturous to walk or stand in.

heel grip

slippery

I found I needed to move up half a size for comfort, women with narrow feet may do ok with true to size.

Happy to find this style & color
Most keen sandals have a big ugly toe guard.

comfortable, a great beach/water sandal
I wear a size 9.5 wide or a 10 Wide in women's sneaker/shoe and most all KEEN brand footwear.

I owned a pair of Keen Men’s Newport (original from the first model year not H2) size 10.5 and found them to be rugged for working outdoor and great for slip on ease and airport travel.

It fits her perfectly, and she finds it very lightweight and comfortable and better fitting around the foot compared to the Keen Whisper.

Conclusion: In short this Keen Women’s CNX Clearwater fits us both better than any Keen shoe we have yet tried.

We would both say that the width fit for us is the as our regular athletic shoes fit.

I love the fit and ability to wash them in the washer with other clothes.

Fits Us Better Than Any Other Keens
First off Amazon asked if it provides good arch support.

however was a much better fit in the ankle and did not have as much excess material around the mono-sock collar when the bungee was cinched.

I tried the Women’s Clearwater size 11 and found the fit was spot on.

She does not like to or have time to shop and found the Whisper fit to be good enough and stuck with that.

For length she fits into her regular dress shoe size with in this shoe.

Traction disappointing
Comfortable, attractive, and an otherwise great multipurpose sandal for in and out of the water (wore them on the beach, snorkeling, lengthy walks, and out to dinner),

thicker sole

The toe box is also a little narrow if you plan on using a thicker insert with more arch support.

sweaty

stretchy

The material used for the upper is more like a regular tennis shoe so it has some give and flex I didn't expect and I find they fit a little loose.

arch support

arch

Good compliment to my Keen waterproof hikers
Wide toe box, nice cushioning and room for inserts.

Toe box is typical Keen with lots of room for toes to spread, Highly recommend!


These are comfortable straight out of the box.

but they are really comfortable and fit great.

Right out of the box these are probably the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn!

All in all these are comfortable and built like a beefy tennis shoes

Comfortable over Support
These are fine shoes for short hikes.

wear

Just not heavy duty or rugged enough to wear on a jobsite.

The fabric wore off the toe very quickly and then the sole separated.

I think they're almost punitive colors for the decerning man that wants to wear safety shoes with it being like the pocket protector of shoe wear.

Starting from the bottom, the soles don't have deep grooves in them hold enough mud to build a hut.

sneaker

The back part of the sneaker, where your heel slides in, feels as if it was shifted down by accident during manufacturing so it leaves your foot feeling unsettled.

metal toe

Disappointing
After purchasing the KEEN Utility Men's Sparta Low Alloy Toe ESD Work Shoe - I was expecting these to feel similar

metal

not heavy duty
Keen makes good shoes, and I'm not going to put this shoe down.

Got the wide size because they look narrow and they fit perfect!

Very comfortable
Nice shoes for when I’m doing work outside.

but I can’t so I ordered some insoles that seems really comfy.

but I find myself wearing them on days when I know I won't need to walk much because the Sparta is much more comfortable for walking and has much more toe wiggle room.

ankle pain

These shoes are amazing
I've dealt with ankle pain in my right ankle & pain from a formerly broken toe on my left foot for years.

KEEN Men's Revel 4 Exp Mid Height Polar Snow Boots

great winter boot
im an arborist in Minnesota so I do believe my review more then qualifies for  weather extremes !!

I love that they're blue and not the old brown or black work boots. BORING!!

I'd definitely buy another pair if I can't find any my size in women's boots.

I decided to take a chance on these bright blue ones, and I got a 10.5, and they fit perfectly.

purchase

love these comfortable my feet are always dry and never cold very impressed will buy again!!! !

Great marketing ploy, because since that free pair I've bought one to two pairs every year ( I build decks and fences) and one to two pairs for employees or relatives, because they really do keep your feet dry in the great old pacific northwest!

Great Boot That Doesn't Squeeze Toes
This is a very well made work boot from Keen.

It offers great support through the ankle, and has a wider fit than a lot of books (wide from the ball *through* the toes).

Does not crunch your toes like most boots do.
