        Comments about Keen Alamosa WP Hiking Shoes - Men's:

        This is my first pair of Keen's, and I'm impressed. The Alamosa is one of the most comfortable hiking shoes I have ever worn. It has two unique characteristics: it's wide in the fore-foot and it has a mesh tongue that doesn't bunch up and cause blisters. The shoe didn't require any breaking-in and it feels like a running shoe. Add top notch traction and Keen's waterproof system, and it's my new go-to shoe for day hikes and light backpacking. Thanks Keen!

          A very good looking and comfortable shoe, aside from being a little short in the length. Needed 1/2 size larger.

          Would have reordered next larger size, but were on backorder.

          Returned shoe for credit.

          excellent shoes. normally wear a 12 but size 13 fit perfectly. i walk 4-8 miles a day in these shoes, have worn them for 4 months and they show hardly any wear. i own 3 pairs of keens and they are the best.

            One of the most comfortable pairs of shoes I've ever owned. No break-in whatsoever. Takes a little getting used to the soles but they provide great traction and take little away from comfort. Sharp looking shoes too.

                Comments about Keen Alamosa WP Hiking Shoes - Men's:

                I bought these shoes at the beginning of this season. They have been fantastic. I spent 3 days camping in wet mushy weather in Maine, my feet stayed dry and comfortable. I find them to be remarkably comfortable and wear them for brief tours around the woods as well as light hiking. They make a great everyday shoe as well, particularly if you have a long day of being on your feet. I'm looking forward to picking up a pair of Keen mids for longer hiking trips. Assuming the quality proves durable for the long term, I don't see myself needing to consider other brands.

                What a great hiking shoe! I bought these the day before I went on a 16 mile back country camp and hike. I was concerned about breaking them in, possible blisters and hard spots. I'm happy to report that they felt great right away! Great traction on all surfaces - rocks, wet wood, snow, etc. I felt confident hiking up and over obstacles even with 50lbs. of gear on my back. The only small gripe I have is the tongue design. It requires a bit of adjustment when you first put them on to prevent the sides from bunching up and causing a small pressure point. Again, this is very minor and can be prevented with adjustment! Great shoe, highly recommended!

                  I literally just picked these up today. I spent about 2 hours trying on just about every low cut waterproof shoe they had. [...]When I finally got to these and put them on, I could tell INSTANTLY they fit so much better then all the others. I foot just snapped in them and I knew right away I liked them. I wore them for about 10 minutes while walking around the store to check for pressure points. I felt none. I walked up and down on the climbing tester they had and they felt great, both up and down.The only reason I am giving them 4 stars is because I have yet to field try them, yet. I was just so impressed with them already I wanted to express what I liked about them. I will review them after I take them on a few hikes this week.

                        Keens have always fit great for me but not these. Overall, the shoe feels too small - about 1/2 size too short, and the front of the foot is very narrow and tight, while the heel is kind of loose and slips while I walk even though the the shoe is too tight. So the shoe is going back and I really can't comment on other aspects of it.

                          Comments about Keen Alamosa WP Hiking Shoes - Men's:

                          I spent a long time trying on many shoes, before this one. All the others hurt right away, as they all commonly squeezed too tightly like a band around the top and balls of my feet, right before the toes. I was pretty discouraged, because I was having to pass up on good looking shoes that just did not fit well. Then I saw these, and gave them a try. The clerk suggested I try a half size larger, and bam! I did not have to force my feet to get into them. I just simply slid my feet into them, and then kind of clicked the heels right on in, with just the right pressure. The most comfortable right out of the box for my feet. Seems very well constructed. I do see that the sole on my right shoe had some peeling effect, like the coloring is coming off, after I was wearing them in my house for an hour to get used to them. This problem is surely aesthetic, and is probably a slight defect from the factory, but not bad enough for me to take it back yet. From any normal view, it appears as if it's dirt smeared on the side, but after closer examination, it looks like a thin layer of paint is peeling off. I noticed it when I haven't even worn them outside yet, and not even for an hour. I wonder if it was a returned shoe, that I might have had the miss fortune of getting. I definitely didn't notice the flaws until I got home though.
