It is difficult for me to find shoes that fit well since my feet are wide and the right one has a bunion. If I go up a size, invariably the shoes will not fit at the back and my heels will slip and cause blisters on the back of my ankles. Enter the KEEN Hightrail Waterproof hiking shoes. I wanted a rugged waterproof shoe to wear traveling and that can go from urban streets to hiking trails whether rain or shine. These are comfy and fit my feet like I've had them for years. I usually wear a 7 1/2 (US) and I did go up to an 8 and there is no heel slippage.
Love Keens! Very comfy. Little tight in the heel, but Ive stretched it out. Little bit bulky, but worth it for the comfort!! (My favorite shoes are Keen newport sandals, but needed something for winter.)
Having put a few mountain miles on my new Women's Hightail Waterproof Hiking shoes, I can report back that they are very comfortable, true to size and have great traction. Also, I have wide feet and the fit is fine. I haven't really put the waterproof aspect to the test but my feet did stay dry through some shallow puddles. I will take them traveling and hiking in Ireland with confidence this fall.
I like that they’re waterproof. But they’re lacking an arch. So, sadly it really isn’t wise for me to wear them. I would like to return them, I’m not sure I can , I wore them ,it’s unfortunate. I’m also sad that REI isn’t hiring people that are trained in fitting shoes .I guess it’s another job that will go to AI. Thank you
We bought these for my wife. Her first pair of Keens, but I wear them so she wants to try them. She finds them comfortable.
There is a seam through the heel both vertical and horizontal that I believe is the reason for some discomfort that resulted in blisters. I've never had a problem the few times I have purchased Keens before, so it's unfortunate these shoes did not work out for me causing me to go back to my trusty Merrell's!
Though the shoe looks very nice it has a couple of drawbacks. I always wear a medium width and these seem a bit wide. Also the sole is a bit more flexible than I'm used to. I like a solid sole.
Walked in these shoes all over rainy London for a week. My feet remained dry and didn’t feel overheated, which is common with waterproof footwear.
LOVE the colorway, crazy comfortable! I am normally an 8. 5, sized up to 9 after trying on in store.
I am very pleased with this shoe. Good fit and very comfortable. Well worth the money.
