[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband tried the KEEN Men’s Hightrail Waterproof Hiking Boots in Brindle/Oak Buff, and he’s really impressed! He mentioned how comfortable they felt right from the start, with no need to break them in. The fit is great, offering excellent support during long hikes. He also appreciated how durable they are, easily handling rough and uneven terrain. The traction stood out to him, especially on slippery trails, and the waterproofing worked perfectly, keeping his feet dry in wet conditions. Overall, these boots are a great choice for anyone who loves spending time outdoors!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] WOW these boots are honestly beautiful to the eye. Not only that, but they are very durable during hikes while also being super comfortable and breathable. I’ve struggled with feeling like I’m going to slip while hiking on roots and wet leaves but these guys are AWESOME! No wetness soaking in either. 10/10!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got these for my husband and he loves them. He is an avid outdoorsman and took these camping and hunting this past weekend. They feel great, are warm and comfortable and we’re comfortable for long days and nights. They are so nice they could even be worn more dressed up.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] From my husbands view: These hiking shoes are seriously impressive. The waterproofing actually works—I’ve walked through rain, mud, and even small streams, and my feet stayed completely dry. The grip is solid, even on rocky or slippery trails, and they’re surprisingly lightweight for how sturdy they feel. The cushioning makes long hikes way more comfortable, and my feet don’t feel as sore afterward. They also seem really durable, holding up well after multiple hikes. If you need a reliable pair of waterproof hiking shoes that can handle rough terrain, these are a great choice. Definitely worth checking out!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These boots fit well as I'm typically a 9.5 or 10 and the 9.5 fit perfectly. Since I got them in the late fall, I was able to use them in the snow to do some shoveling. They appeared to keep the water from the snow out, but they did not keep out the cold as my toes were quite cold. Additionally, I slipped around a bunch. However, it is important to note that they are not described as shoveling boots. For normal walking, they were comfortable and appeared to support my ankles well. They're stylish looking and appear well made. I look forward to trying them out for a hike when the weather warms up a bit!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband and I are avid hikers, and really appreciate a good hiking boot. This is the all in one package. They are light weight, comfortable, water proof, and the traction are on the bottom is great for the slippery trails. 10/10 for these hiking boots!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These boots are amazing! They are waterproof, comfortable, lightweight, and make amazing work shoes! They fit very nicely and grip very well on hikes! I was given this product for free for my honest review!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such a good hiking shoes. This is the first time i ever wear such great hiking shoes. They are very comfortable and waterproof. I recommend this for anyone whose looking for hiking shoes
These good all around hikers are reasonably lightweight, have excellent traction on all types of terrain including wet rocks, sand, and shale. Although white is not my preferred color they do cool the feet down in hot weather, a real advantage especially since they are water proof. Padding is excellent, fit great, and wide enough for my bunion problem. Shoe laces are good in that they don't tend to untie all the time. The only thing I noticed was a mild tendency to roll sideways if I stepped improperly.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My partner loves it. It's very comfortable for walking and hiking. It's slippery at all. It's waterproofed so it's very great when he walks in snow too. The form is great.
