Like its cousin, Targhee, midheight Keen Voyageur hiking boots offer the same 4-wheel-drive traction and stability minus the waterproof barrier.

Leather uppers with polyester mesh ventilation windows offer durability, flexibility and breathability for comfort on the go
Synthetic linings wick moisture away from your feet and dry quickly to keep feet comfortable and dry
Secure-fit lace capture system with sturdy leather eyelets and heel wrap help lock feet to footbeds for increased support
Webbing pull loops at heel and tongue allow easy entry/exit; padded, gusseted tongues keep out debris and moisture while relieving lace pressure
Patented rubber toe bumpers protect feet and uppers from bumps and abrasion
Removable Metatomical EVA footbeds are custom shaped to provide ample cushioning and arch support; can also accommodate orthotics
Compression-molded EVA midsoles offer shock-absorption and padding for all-day comfort
Supportive ESS plastic shanks provide torsional stability and protection from uneven and rocky terrain
S3 (shock, suspension, stability) heel support structure supports the feet on impact, dissipates shock and reduces the chance of twisting an ankle
Nonmarking carbon rubber outsoles with aggressive 4mm multidirectional lugs for long-wearing durability and superb terrain bite

Average weight specification is per pair, based on size 7.

Imported.

Comments about Keen Voyageur Mid Hiking Boots - Women's:

As with nearly all keen boots, you may have to buy a half size larger than your usual size. I have a bunion that requires a wider toebox to avoid bunion/joint pain, and the Keens are the only shoes that provide plenty of room for the joint to stay stable and pain free. I also have weak ankles which require mid or hightops. However, to avoid blisters, a boot also needs to be able to be tightened across the instep and ankle so your feet do not slip and allow the toes to touch the end of the boot on a decline. This boot perfectly fits the bill, allowing room for the bunion while preventing the foot from sliding around. I took these home from r.e.i. to break them in on my treadmill to see if there are any "hot spots" after a mile of walking on different degrees of incline (wearing my wool blend socks and liners). The Columbias went back, but these Keens did not cause a single hot spot, and felt comfortable from the start. I bought these boots after specifically shopping for non-waterproof boots for packing in dry, warm conditions where waterproof boots would be way too hot/sweaty. Because of the lack of goretex lining, they run a half size larger than the Targhee.

Comments about Keen Voyageur Mid Hiking Boots - Women's:

A big group of us hiked Mt. Whitney this September at least half of us purchased these keens. The hike was really hard and we all had complaints but it was unanimous that these keens were the most comfortable boots any of us had worn. They are cushy soft, have great support, yet are much more flexible than your average hiking boot. One of the hikers who has had chronic blister problems had no problems for the first time.(and we have done hundreds of miles of hiking)I highly recommend these boots.

Comments about Keen Voyageur Mid Hiking Boots - Women's:

I LOVE these boots. I tried on what felt like hundreds of boots and the instant I put these on, I knew that these were mine! I have a wide foot, and these fit perfectly. I've worn them in slippery mud and all terrain. They've never failed me. I didn't even really have a break in period. They were great from day one. The strap that holds the boot against your heel really keeps the rubbing down and I haven't had any problems with blisters (which is something that I ALWAYS have problems with). So far, so good. I'm blister free!
The mid-height gives great ankle stability when you're wandering around uneven terrain. The sole is comfortable and takes the pressure off of the ball of your foot (where my socks tend to wear holes). It's a great boot for the trail or just everyday wear.

I'm a Keen fanatic because of these.

Comments about Keen Voyageur Mid Hiking Boots - Women's:

I bought these shoes for my first hike. I have a weak ankle and bunions! I was a little apprehensive about my feet holding up but needn't have been. These shoes are wonderful! My feet were comfy, well supported, protected and kept dry (it was a warm day)and my ankle did not bother me one bit! I looked at several pairs but am very glad that I chose these!

Comments about Keen Voyageur Mid Hiking Boots - Women's:

Just got back from the Alps where I hiked the Tour du Mont Blanc (TMB) 107 mile Mt. trail wearing my Keen Voyageur Mids every step of the way. These boots were so comfortable and all around able in every aspect that one summarizing word kept coming to mind when thinking about the shoes performance - FANTASTIC!

Immediately comfortable, I wore these boots for a total of about ten miles of hiking prior to putting foot to the trail on the TMB with full confidence that the product would take care of me without biting back. That is - no blisters. Confidence rewarded, neither me nor my hiking companion who was also wearing Voyageurs had one blister during the entire seriously descending and ascending trail.

The waterproof capabilities of the shoe were better than any other boot I've ever worn. That is, no soak through when passing through dewey grass and no water penetration when crossing shallow stream beds. Water ran over the top of my forefoot resulting in no water inside the shoe. Very nice!

I wore Smartwool PhD lt. hiking socks for the majority of the trip and the shoe/sock paring was great. As has become my practice on long-distance hiking outings, when I stop for a rest, snack or simply to take in a stunning view I take off my shoes and socks to let my feet and footwear breathe and dry out a bit before continuing. When doing so I did found that my shoes and socks were wet with perspiration, but my feet never felt any negative effects from this. With hundreds of mountain backpacking miles on my feet, I highly recommend this method of removing your hiking boots as described previously.

Like others have described, I did move up one half size to fit this boot well. The shoes grip well on all terrain and the larger toe bumper offers nice protection on the trail. The shoelaces were just the right length and I appreciated that the type of shoelace Keen used stayed tightly tied for each day's hike. The shoes show less-than-average wear for the miles and type of terrain crossed. Highly recommend this boot.

No rock protection

Best Uses

Day hikes

Comments about Keen Voyageur Mid Hiking Boots - Women's:

These were very comfy right out of the box, with no breaking in required. They accommodate orthodics easily. They are great for day-hikes on well groomed trails. I recently used them to climb Mt. Whitney, and they did not even begin to offer enough protection to my soles from the rocks, so it was a rather painful trip. I am returning them for something with a more rugged sole.

Comments about Keen Voyageur Mid Hiking Boots - Women's:

I just happened to buy these the night before our backpacking trip - usually a big "no-no". However, these boots fit so well and were so comfortable there was really no need to break them in. I wore them on a 10-mile hike without any problems at all. I was even caught in the water a couple times - the boots drained well and dried while I hiked.

Comments about Keen Voyageur Mid Hiking Boots - Women's:

I tried on virtually every boot for a perfect fit. This boot gives me great ankle support, arch support, and also comfort while scrambling boulders both up and downward. It has excellant traction! We also crossed streams and lakes in them (without my socks) and they dried quickly. I never got hot spots, and do up to 10 miles a day on some steep grades and in rough wilderness terrain.I love the colors!The hooks at the top of the lacing have not held the laces everytime, so a few stops to retie the boots have been my only minor complaint. My shoe inserts fit well,the boot accomodates my thick hiking socks,and I like the roomy toe area. No regrests.I wish, as we approach wet weather that they were waterproof, but I'm giving them a try anyway! I love my boots!

I liked the fit and support of the waterproof Targhee better than this shoe. This shoe felt wider for the same size. I would like to see stickier soles for both boot models.

Comments about Keen Voyageur Mid Hiking Boots - Women's:

This is a great boot for warm-weather hiking or trekking. They really do breathe! Great Keen fit and lots of ankle support. I wore them for a 5-mile rocky hike right out of the box and I had no blisters or soreness.

My only complaint (and it's purely cosmetic) is that the light blue fabric trim really shows the dirt. It would be nice if they used a tan or beige fabric for the trim, especially as these are designed for warm weather (ready dusty) trail conditions.
