KEEN  Howser II Slippers - Men's

My daughter had gifted me a pair of Howsers many years ago - probably 10 or more-I am not sure if they were called Howser back then. The inside soles were very comfortable on my prior pair. This newer version does not have the same padding in the sole. In fact I had recently glued my previous pair of the shoe bottoms since it had separated from the rest of the shoe and still as comfortable as before. I had to add an extra sneaker pad to the newer howser just to make it as comfortable.

Foot pain sent me to a Podiatrist, who noted my very high arches and otherwise sound feet needed shoes designed for my feet. He recommended KEEN shoes. I bought hiking boots (great!) and these house shoes (great!) Immediate comfort. Grateful for all the features engineered into my new shoes.

Historically I haven't liked slippers but I bought a second pair these after I had them for 2 days. Slippers are normally too soft with no structure/support - basically uncomfortable (for me) vs a good shoe. I find these to be different. I do add a good insert for better arch support.

I've had my slippers for four years and wear them every day around the house and sometimes around town. Last week, while traveling in the Highlands of Iceland, I needed to survey a riverbed to decide whether my vehicle could cross safely. Since I didn't have any suitable footwear, I reluctantly recruited my slippers to the task. The water was cold, with a fast current and a depth of almost three feet and a bottom made up of volcanic rocks and sand. I spent about 30 minutes trying to find a safe route and eventually gave up. My slippers were a mess -- completely full of gravel and sand and, of course, soaking wet. I didn't have a way to dry them and ended up bringing them home wet and still mostly full of debris. On the way, I ordered another pair of slippers because they are so essential for me. Long story, somewhat shortened, I dried out the slippers, vacuumed them multiple times. Removed the insoles and washed those. I put everything back together and they are...fine! Wow. When the new pair arrive they will be my backups. Fantastic product, Keen!

I’m on my 5th pair of howsers plus a pair of the boots. They are still very comfortable but I do miss the old insoles. They had so much more cushioning. Please bring them back.

Nice, as expected. Most of my footwear from peer competitors run larger, typically size 10. With Keens I find size 11 best.

Howser II shoes were a Christmas gift. Feel nice but can anybody tell me if they are waterproof?

These are comfortable shoes but they run about a half size small for me.

A little stiff but great for wearing outside and around the house

Second pair, bought for around house but wear everywhere
