Bring on the trails!!

Received free productLiked the overall style and look of the shoes, but honestly impressed with the quality and functionality they showed from the first wear and beyond. On my first time in the shoes, I wanted to put them to the test. We went on a six+ mile hike with some significant elevation gain and I had no issues at all! Comfort and stable with no blisters, rubbing, soreness etc! I appreciate the tread on loose gravel/dirt and the reinforced toe on uneven terrain/tree roots. The waterproofing is only partial but holds up in rain, puddles, and mud. I wouldn't recommend dunking them in river though. While these shoes are a bit on an investment, I know I'll have them for a long time!! They are my new favorite in-between when hiking boots are a little extra but sneakers won't do.

More like a tennis shoe than a hiking shoe
JosieG3 years ago
Received free productMy initial impression of these hiking shoes was great. They fit like a glove! However, after my first hike in them of about 4 miles, my opinion changed somewhat. The positives: great grip when hiking down steep or loose surfaces, my feet felt snug and secure; I liked the rubber lip that came up onto the front of the shoe to protect the toes from stubbing; they were nice and lightweight. The negatives: the toe box is wide, but not tall, so the top of the shoe pressed down on my big toe and I ended up with a bruised left big toenail; these shoes ended up feeling more like a tennis shoe than a hiking shoe -- I could feel the poke of sharp rocks underfoot; they are better suited with a regular sock than a hiking sock -- felt too snug once my feet swelled in the heat; the tan coloring was visibly dirty pretty quickly. Overall, I started out at rating this 5 stars, then reduced to 4, then ended up with 3 stars. I wore them for several hikes, then eventually had to switch back to my using my usual mid-height boots which feel a lot more thickly soled, spacious in the toe, and actually cooler. The waterproofing in these hiking shoes made my feet feel hotter than hiking shoes/boots usually do. I would recommend these shoes for walks in the woods where the ground surface is soft, for cool weather hikes, but mostly for casual neighborhood walks -- nothing in temps above 80 nor long-distance.

Cute and Comfortable Hiking Shoes
2 years ago
These shoes are super cute and easy to clean. The color is muted and would go with anything. The toe box is wide for comfort but I did think they ran a tad short. They look to be very well made and waterproof. I would size up next time. They are great shoes for hiking or just walking the dog.

Great light hiking shoes for the PNW
2 years ago
I was excited to test these shoes out on our light hikes (1-5 miles) in the PNW. I like how lightweight they are and how they're basically just a waterproof sneaker with better traction vs. a heavy intense hiking boot. For longer hikes > 5 miles and wetter days, I'd probably still go with hiking boots that come up over my ankles for more support and more protection against puddles and kicking up water. These shoes are perfect for a shorter hike with some light rain or wet muddy trails. They'll also be great for summer hikes when you have to walk across some rivers or creeks but aren't in the water the whole time.

Good shoes, a little stiff
2 years ago
I have several pairs of Keen shoes ranging from sneakers to sandals, but this is the first time I’ve tried a pair of their waterproof hiking shoes. The shoes themselves are very stylish when it comes to hiking shoes, which I liked - it’s nice when something doesn’t look too rugged and can be worn to other places besides the trails. I used these shoes recently on a muddy hike and my feet stayed warm and dry. My only complain is that they are quite stiff and rigid, even though I would consider them more low profile hiking shoes. The soles were a bit hard and the shoe definitely had little to no give in terms of flexibility. My ankles were hurting a bit after a 2 hour hike. Perhaps they would break in with time, but I’ve had more comfortable casual-focused hiking shoes before. Regardless, they’re still a great shoe and I would recommend.

Fit like any other Keen shoes
3 years ago
I own enough Keen shoes and boots to last me 10x my life time to know these hiking shoes fit me like any other pairs. I have been using Targhee II for the last how many years for hikes (I am a casual hiker) and around campsites. When I saw "waterproof" for these hiking shoes, I was intrigued. They are meshy and didn't look waterproof to me! I am not too keen on (pun intended) the color scheme of them, though. I am not a neat person when it comes to outdoor gears and I don't avoid mud puddles when I hike/bike. The website suggests that I could wash them, but would I? Nope! I haven't tried them in rain yet, so I can't review on waterproofness, but I am writing a review based on hiking/camping trips I went. First of all, as the look tells me, these shoes are much lighter in weight than Targhee II. I was comfortable and not feeling cold at night at a campsite (but temp didn't dip. It was around low 40's). When I was walking through sandy area in Columbia Basin, sand filled the meshy holes, but they came out fine. I would be curious what happens if the sand is wet. I don't particularly have narrow feet, but thin (someone called them "low volume"), so usually I have to double knot to accommodate the long shoe laces, but I don't have to do it with these. They are stiff and concerned that I had to retie every so often, but stayed on fine. Still, I am considering adding fasteners so that I don't have to deal with dangling shoe laces to the side.

Great waterproof shoes
3 years ago
I had been looking for lightweight waterproof hikers for a while and am glad to find these. They are great to wear to work and I can't with to try them on the trail. I ordered a half size up because of the need for more space in my shoes in both length and width due to foot issues. Someone without foot problems may find that their regular shoe size is fine. As far as the classic wide toe box I think these are definitely a little wider than some other similar Keen styles I've tried in the past (can't recall the names) however maybe not as wide as some of their other hiking boot styles. All in all I like them and will keep them and would recommend them.

Size up!
2 years ago
I'm on my 3rd try of ordering the right size and I think I finally figured it out. I couldn't even get my foot into my actual size so I went a whole size up and those were too big, so I've ordered half size up and I think that will work. So just know that these run very short. Overall they seem very nice and sturdy (and a little stiff) but can break in after a hike or two.

Poor grip on wet sidewalks. Ok on trail.
1 year ago
I bought these as walking shoes. I walk on mixed terrain. From my doorstep on concrete to a dirt trail with multiple wooden bridges. The shoe is ok on dirt trail but I slid quite a bit on the wet concrete and wood. More than I am comfortable with. I have arthritis so I can't afford to fall and these slipped around so much on push-out that I will not be wearing them again. I live in the Pacific Northwest so wet conditions are part of daily life. It's my first Keen shoe and I don't understand the hype when they slip so badly. The shoe is moderately comfortable, though I find it narrow around the instep. Overall, not happy.

Pillowy walk
3 years ago
I just took my first walk in these shoes. They have a nice pillowy walk. The soles are fabulous, while keeping my feet from rolling outward. I usually wear the Targhee III waterproof hiking shoes but wanted something lighter and cooler for the summer. These fit the bill.
