I love these boots buy a new pair of the year
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My feet were scanned as US 7.1 2E EU 39.2 3E UK 6.5 G - so pretty wide. In the winter months I get a bunion flare up on my right foot and I walk around in misery. After going through some other brands and the wrong sizes I got these in 7.5 and they fit great. Truly warm and spacious. A true winter boot to protect my feet. I tested them on a 8 mile hike in 8 inches of snow and some stream crossings and my feet stayed warm and dry. My only ding is they are a little clunky in overall size and the cushioning is a little harder than I'd like. It took a little adjusting to walk in these. Overall a solid purchase :) I marked these as run wide. For me this is good thing. They fit my 2E feet so not a problem that these aren't offered in an official wide size like the non polar version of this boot.
This boots were ordered with high expectations. I have purchased and worn KEEN hiking shoes and boots for years and had very good experience with quality of construction, fit and comfort. These boots were well constructed, but the comfort just wasn't there. Returned for refund which was timely acknowledged and issued.
It started out ok. I broke them in slow. This past Sunday was their big test.........Failed miserably! My feet and legs were so sore that we left the Swap Meet two hours early. The first pair I bought maybe three years are still feeling OK but they leak.
They comfortable, warm and wide! I’m a truck driver that carries frozen goods, I have to go inside the trailer which is below 0 and my boots keeps me save, they are proof for no slippery. Good Quality also! Very impressed… this is my 4th purchase!!
Well built, solid and really nice looking shoe. Only con is they are a bit clunky to begin with but I’m sure it’s something that will become less of an issue as I get accustom to them Over all I love them
Really love this product, good fit, keeps my feet warm and the have good traction. My only complaint would be that they are a little stiff, hoping this will work itself out as I wear them more.
Very disappointed by this Keen version. This are NOT hiking boots. Shoe sole is so thin and soft that your foot will feel every rock, painful!
these shoes are extremely over sized, i hardly wear them and the are coming apart. both pairs that i pjurchased.
I do a lot of mountain hiking great support on ankles and feet. Extremely warm for fall and winter months.
