    Comments about Keen Summit County Winter Boots - Men's:

    I used these boots most recently snowshoeing @ Pictured Rocks in Grand Marais, MI. It was -5 to -10 degrees F without the windchill. My feet were in great shape the whole trip. I only used one pair of Smartwool hiking socks. So far these are the best winter boots I have ever had besides my GI JOE moonboots when I was five.

    Comments about Keen Summit County Winter Boots - Men's:

    last year i worked on the tubing hill at keystone where it was very cold. for the most part the shoes were waterproof and warm. there were times this wasn't true. it mainly happened after being used for a while. the sole split from the rest of the shoe in the same place on two different pairs. water would then get in and freeze my feet. the connections that the laces were thread through need to be of higher quality. they are cloth and rip easily. i went through two pairs of these boots before having to give up and try a different brand. if you are planning on using these boots regularly i would not recommend them.

      Comments about Keen Summit County Winter Boots - Men's:

      I bought these for snowmobiling, snowshoeing and all around winter use. Used them in Utah last week at -5F (-20F to -30F wind chill) with liners, a pair of Smartwool Expedition socks and Gortex gators. They were extremely comfortable and light but my feet felt a little cool once we stopped for a long period. I didn't change socks because my gators were frozen over…this probably would have helped. These are definitely 'active' winter boots. They are not 'pacs' but the extreme light-weight, comfort and traction are worthy tradeoffs.

      I really like the look and comfort of the Dark Shadow. I bought them a full size larger to accommodate expedition weight socks and sock liner. I plan on taking them up to the Jemez next week for snowshoeing...highly recommended.

      Comments about Keen Summit County Winter Boots - Men's:

      I love Keen becaise they are good fitting and durable footwear. The Summit County started to come apart after just 2 hours of wearing them, most it standing at the top of the sledding hill. The foam feeling rubber between teh sole and the leather uppers started coming off. This is happening on both boots. Im planning on taking them back in the morning. Ill see what else they might have for winter boots. THey are very comfortable and I have loved all other pair of Keens I have owned (maybe 15 or 20 pair over several years). I wore the other Keens everyday to work where it is very hard on footwear and normally footwear lasts on a couple months at best, but keens lasted much longer than other shoes. Im dissapointed these dont appear to hold up well with the foam/rubber transition from sole to uppers.

        Comments about Keen Summit County Winter Boots - Men's:

        Don't waste money on old-school clunkers. Get these higher-performance snow boots. These are probably not the warmest boots that money can buy, but they are a PERFECT blend of insulation, fit, etc for hiking, snowshoeing and just about any other activity in the snow. Haven't tried on a long day of snowmobiling yet.

        My primary use for these is for commuting through Chicago Winters and the occasional winter adventure. They keep my feet warm and dry. It took a little while before they broke in but after a month of wearing them I couldn't go back to freezing in sneakers.

          Just got these and so far I like them.
          My only complaint is that there is very little arch support. But I will just throw in some inserts.
          Soles do mark wood floors a little. My toes are now nice and toasty. They are comfortable enough for getting around Chicago all day.

            Comments about Keen Summit County Winter Boots - Men's:

            I bought these boots just before a snow storm and was very excited to get to use them to go snow shoeing. The first day I used them I was out side shoveling side walks with a snow removal company and by about the second hour of wearing them in the snow, the top of my foot was wet. The boots were very comfortable but that was about it. Keen Dry does not keep you dry I was not in snow that was even very deep and melted snow still soaked through the boot in only 2 hours. I was glad that I was not snow shoeing because I am sure I would have been cold and wet. When I did use them I was not walking in slush or water, I was only in newly fallen snow. I would not recommend these boots for anything but around the house because if you use them in the snow they will most likely get wet and your feet will get wet. Very disappointed. but I am so glad I bought them at REI because I was able to return them and get a better boot.

            Service and delivery comments:

            REI was great but they always are. They took back the boots and I got a refund and bought a different pair of boots and am so happy with them. I would recommend shopping with REI for any outdoor gear that you are planning on buying.

              Great for warmth. Nice toe box. Easy to wear 2 pairs of sox and still be able to move my toes for circulation. The problem-there is a lot of rubbing on my ankle. There is a large seam that runs across my ankle. It rubs every time I step. I was hoping that they would break in but they do not in that spot. I will return them tomorrow.

                Boot is very susceptible to the cold beyond 20 minutes below 0*F. The specs say comfort rating is -35*F during active use. +20 minutes, The cold is going to come up from the bottom of this boot and give you frigid feet. Other than this, the boot is very comfortable, warm in +0*F temps, and I have had a lot of compliments about it's looks.
