KEEN  Voyageur Hiking Shoes - Women's

I've been wearing Keen Voyageur shoes for my hiking and backpacking trips since 2016. Between 2016 and 2025, I owned four pairs, and I have to report that the quality is very inconsistent. Pairs #1 and #3 were perfect, each serving me well for over 700 miles. I couldn't have been happier with them. Pairs #2 and #4, however, were a different story. Pair #2 failed quickly, with large parts of the outsoles simply falling off. They had to be trashed after less than 200 miles of trail use. Pair #4 was the worst: not only did rubber lugs start peeling away and falling off the softer part of the soles after about 140 miles, but the outsole also became grossly deformed (see pictures). • Pic. 1: New shoes (09.19.25). • Pics 2-3: The same pair after about 140 miles in Grand Teton and Grand Canyon NPs (10.15.2025). • Pics 4-6: The same shoes after another 70 miles of Grand Canyon backcountry (10.22.2025). This bizarre outsole deformation has never happened before on any Keen or other hiking shoes I've owned. This last pair became absolutely unwearable after a mere 210 miles. I always liked the Voyageur's fit and large toe box, but I believe it is time for me to look elsewhere for new hiking shoes.

I've had Voyageurs before and was pleased with the years of hiking comfort and stability. The new ones have consistent quality issues and I just returned the fourth pair. Toe stitching doesn't match, toe bumper misaligned, and toe too loose, even with tighter lacing. Most alarming is the loose ribbon trim on the left shoe, which could catch or snag on a root, branch, or a vehicle brake or clutch pedal. Even at a sale price, this is not a good deal.

I had my first pair of these for about 18 months. After about a year the soles started coming apart. However, I just bought a new pair of the exact same shoe and 1 week after purchase the soles started coming apart. I wear these 5 days a week delivering mail in a rural area. They are comfortable but I am disappointed in the new pair.

Can't find the listing for the voyageur mid boots with ankle support, but I'll leave my review here since they are similar -- they are the best hiking boots you can buy!!! I have had mine for 3 years, 300 miles of backpacking and 200ish miles of hiking. Finally retired them and just bought the same pair (photos for comparison). They have great support, are relatively light, extremely durable, pretty water resistant, and SO comfy. you will not regret buying these!!!! cannot stress how much I love these boots. My only tiny complaint is the length of laces and the eyelet for lacing up - I had the loops of my tied laces get caught a few times on the little eyelet hook of my other boot and fell or stumbled many times because of this. I rubber band the loose loops to the sole while hiking to avoid this.

I've had my Women's Targhee II Waterproof for almost 10 years and they've been amazing in every way, but the soles are finally falling apart. So, I bought these Women's Voyageurs. I brought them on a 26 mile hike, and they fit great, felt amazing, were manuvering rocks, snow, mud- everything until one eyelet for the left shoe laces busted on the 3rd day of owning them. I wasn't tightening them in a way that was unusual- it just popped. Not sure if that was just that pair of shoes or if the brand isn't what it used to be, but it was such a bummer. Had that eyelet/shoe functioned as expected, this would be a 5/5, easy. Just such a disappointment.

I've been buying Keen Voyageurs for over 10 years now. Hands down the very best light hiking shoe out there for anyone needing a deep heel and a wide toe box. I've visited a hiking resort in Southern Utah several times now and, every time someone tears up their feet and gets desperate for a solution, the local outdoor shop sells them a pair of these hikers. They keep them stocked in bulk! In ten years, I have never, ever had a blister or sore feet and these shoes are always have excellent grip in all types of terrain - from the jungles of Uganda to the red rocks of Southern Utah - they're always perfect. Keen PLEASE don't ever stop making these shoes!

I've awaited this delivery anxiously as I've purchase 3 pairs of different brands of shoes in two months but no good. So when my Voyageurs arrived I said a silent little prayer as I opened the box. I was immediately impressed by the stylishness and the light weight and when I got them on and laced up my feet did a little happy dance. I can honestly say that these are the only shoes that have truly fit me for years and I'm very very happy. I was able to walk comfortably with them right out of the box. The heel is snug and supportive and the toebox - well it's perfect. No more pinched toes for me. Thank you Keen I can't tell you how delighted I am with my new voyageurs,

There was literally no break in time required. I hiked Camelback Mountain in AZ as well as numerous other trails in Scottsdale and Sedona. The shoes grip, provide support and are comfortable. Even in the scree I felt the shoe offered far more traction than a running shoe or trainer. Shoe runs ginormous. I ordered a 7.5 because that’s what I were in all of my training shoes. I could fit both feet and a snack into 1 shoe. So I ordered a 6.5, but immediately panicked that they would be too small and ordered the 7. I basically had all of the inventory at one point! I kept the 7. With a thicker sock it was a perfect fit.

I bought these because I loved my KEEN boots. They started wearing through at the heel within 6 months. Per other reviews, KEEN's manufacturing has gone downhill since moving their production out of the US a few years ago. No wonder my boots lasted daily wear and farm work for 2 years and my Voyageur's are falling apart after only 6 months. I'll be purchasing other brands in the future. Really sad because I love these shoes, they just aren't lasting.

I had a severe adverse reaction to the antibiotic Levaquin 10 years ago that left me barely able to walk due to severe Achilles tendon pain. I saw many doctors, did physical therapy, etc. etc. but it was my new Keen Voyageurs that literally got me back on my feet and walking again (and literally saved me my life). I've purchased at least 5-6 pair since because they are literally the only shoes I wear (gotta have one clean pair for "dress up"). Now I see they are impossible to find in size 7. Oh dear Keen, please please please bring them back. Nothing else fits the same or feels as good as these. Please.
