   I would probably order a wide next time which I definitely will because I love everything about these boots. They’re supportive, lightweight, and cool looking in my opinion. I have a slight tailors bunion (outside of foot) so they cause a little pressure but I adjusted by switching to a thinner orthotic. The liner that comes with the boot is excellent, but I need to wear my own custom orthotics so I removed the original which may have caused a little of the tight feel.

   Much stiffer than I wanted. Runs narrow. Was very uncomfortable. Had to return.

   Very comfortable. Good arch support and ankle support, and the footbed feels nice and cushy. Light weight like a running shoe but supportive like a hiking boot. They run small though, need to order at least a half size up. Only thing I don’t like about the style is the giant “Keen” lettering across the sides, other than that, nice looking boots! Looking forward to testing them out on the trail with a half size up.

   Wow, so so comfortable! I am on my feet all day in a wet environment and these Keens resolve two major issues for me: I have a terrible heel pain and my feet are always getting wet.

   For the heel pain issue, these have great whole sole support without being rock hard, particularly under my heels. What’s even better for my heels when wearing these is there’s this sort of ‘scoop’ or ‘pocket’ that my heels nestle into in a way that ‘locks’ them into place. My heels don’t move and they have support around them. It’s awesome. I love Keens for their reliable comfort no matter which shoe style I try and these are especially providing comfort to my aching heels.

   For the wet feet issue: after trying many many shoes to work in, I find that ‘breathable’ often means that when my feet get wet, they’ll be cool or even cold. While the shoe will dry out quickly after I take them off, when I’m wearing them my feet are cold and clammy. I am also finding that ‘waterproof’ means I will have sweaty hot feet. Sure, if my shoes get wet, the water won’t penetrate, but it’s like wearing ziplock bags on my feet all day. What I want is dry, cool feet when I’m at work around water all day. These shoes are magic, I swear! They not only shed water making them waterproof, they also shockingly let me feet dry out while I’m wearing them! Magic. My feet are so happy.

   I love these shoes. My only issue is that I think they’re a little snug. I haven’t had them long enough to see if they’ll stretch out a bit. If you’re in doubt about what size to buy, go up a half size. Other than that, kudos to Keen for yet another great shoe.

   Good looking shoes! I would have kept them if they weren’t too small.

   I have been a dedicated Keen sandal lover for over 14 years and now was looking for a light weight hiking boot/shoe. While I liked the sleeker styling on this boot the foot bed was not comfortable and was expecting a similar feel to the many sandals I have purchased over the years. I typically wear size 7 for sandals and boots allowing for a little extra room, however, the size 7 was snug. I did order a half size up; which further confirmed this was not a good fit for me. I think if you have a narrow foot (mine is not wide) and looking for a sleeker styling hiking boot; you may want to consider this boot.

   I didn’t actually try these boots on, so disregard the size/width/support responses, there was no option to leave then blank. I did give good marks for comfort based solely (see what I did there?) on past Keen experience.

   I just wanted to point out the fact that these are NOT composite toe boots as stated in the product description.

   Nice looking boots, though.

   Description of item – Composite toe. Need to use these for construction job. Returning these for work boots.

   Keens tend to have a wide roomie toe box but on these boots I could feel the top of the shoe hitting the top of my toe, plus they seemed a tad on the short size.

    These do not fit like other keens. Super narrow, tight, and stiff.

    Love these boots! Cute and comfortable. Returned only because I didn’t need them and running out of space for shoes.
