[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These boots are awesome! They fit true to size. I have wide feet and they fit super comfortably. They are not tight around my feet, but my feet are not loose in them also. These boots feel like they have a good grip around my ankles and they feel sturdy so I wouldn’t hurt my feet/ankles while hiking. I also love the grip on the soles. They’re also great boots for walking my 3 dogs and I will get a lot of use both in everyday life and while hiking.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I do a lot of walking and hiking with my dog. I live in an area where there are a lot of hiking trails. We walk in all types of weather, so I was looking for a pair of waterproof hiking shoes. I was also looking for a shoe that could provide me with great traction when we are on the trails. These have a high traction rubber sole and 4mm multi direction lugs that provide optimal traction. My feet are on the wider side so when I was researching Keen’s, I found that they are best known for comfort and for wide toe boxes that let your toes wiggle. This is my first pair of Keen’s. I have worn them a few times now and I must say how comfortable they are. It was raining outside the other day, so I took my dog for a walk. Of course, I had to try them out in the rain. I was so impressed that my feet stayed dried. I have other walking shoes I wear and my feet are always wet. I find that the shoes are lightweight but provides great support. I am looking forward to wearing them on the trails and this upcoming Winter months. I feet will be nice and dry and well supported. I really like this brand of hiking shoes.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Gave this to my boyfriend as a gift, and he loves them.Comfortable and stylish shoes. Who said that hiking boots need to be boring brown. These look awesome and sporty, and are super comfortable. They fit true to size, are light, have great cushioning and support, and excellent traction for the trail.  Best part is that they are waterproof. Nobody wants to walk around with wet feet for miles. These are solid shoes all around.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recieved the Keen Footwear Zionic Mid WP hiking boots size 10 color Steel Grey/Magnet from Influencer for my honest review. The Keen Footware Zionic Mid WP hiking boots in size 10 in Steel Grey/Magnet color were actually a great surprise. They fit and wear like a hightop tennis shoe. And, unlike a old fashion hiking boot didn't take a month to break in. It took a week of wearing them daily for an hour or so. They have a pillow like insole that doesn't seem to be breaking down at all. The insole feels the same as it did on day 1, I have been wearing these daily for at least an hour for the last month. The traction is amazing, I've been using them while removing really tough weeds and roots in my garden. The last week I've been wearing them for at least 5 hours daily as I have been gardening and have had no issues and haven't had any blisters. I do recommend wearing socks with these boots. These boots also have plenty of toe room.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are so good! Very comfortable, very easy to put on, the fit is very good. Definitely true to size. They are waterproof as well and the quality is incredible! My husband has wore it for hours and said they were great. Besides the color combination looks modern and very easy to make it look stylish too! That is a plus! Definitely recommend!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son said this is the most beautiful shoe he has ever seen! Lol. He loves teal and if you do too, this is the shoe for you. It's very brightly colored with the teal fabric upper and the orange accents on the tread. I am a true 6.5M in womens and I'd say these fit pretty true to size. They feel like they run a smidge big, but I can't tell if that's due to the wider and more rounded toe box or not. I'm guessing it's due to the toe box bc I do have plenty of room in there. This sue will surely accomodate a thick boot sock for colder weather if you choose the size you normally wear. I also have a decent arch in my foot and the 6.5 seems to hit that pretty well. The tread under the toe box seems to ramp up a little, propelling you forward a bit when you're walking. That may evwn out a bit when the shoe gets broken in more. The mid height is nice to help keep your ankle more stable on trails or uneven muddy ground and these have plenty of lace length to tighten them as much as you need for that. Aside from the slightly strong odor from them just out of the box, these are a great shoe to have in your closet. I'm thinking the smell is just a new shoe thing and will eventually wear off. Recommended!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had the chance to try out the MEN’S ZIONIC MID WP boots for free thanks to Influenster, and I must say, they’ve exceeded my expectations. The comfort level is exceptional, with no break-in period needed, and they fit like a glove from the first wear. On the trails, the traction is reliable, providing a secure footing across different surfaces. They feel durable enough to handle regular hikes, and the waterproofing effectively keeps moisture out, ensuring dry feet throughout. Overall, these boots offer a great combination of comfort, traction, durability, and waterproof performance, making them a fantastic choice for any hiker.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am always on the go so I wear these shoes not just when on my treks in the woods but for my everyday hectic day because they are comfortable no matter what I am doing. The treads on these shoes give great traction on trails but also on wet pavement. I love the bright colors these shoes sport, I never go unnoticed now. The only thing I wasn’t too fond of was the back of the shoes could be uncomfortable on my ankles. When you are on your feet all day walking or hiking trails these shoes can help you get through the day.

Overall, these boots are reliable, durable, and perfect for anyone who loves hiking. I really like the design and bright color and highly recommend them for their performance and comfort.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I receive this product for free from the Influenster Keen Campaign in exchange, for my honest review. My nephew was so happy and said thank you to Influenster and Keen company for sending him Men’s Zionic mid-WP hiking shoes. The shoes look so handsome and he loves them a lot. He said it’s very comfortable, super sturdy, lightweight and waterproof. He wears it every day and says it is so light that sometimes he thinks they are his regular sneakers. I think it’s a Unisex shoe.
