Lightweight, so comfortable and classy look
3 weeks ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love these new hiking shoes from keen. They are so light, and we know for long days on the trail that is a great option. They are also waterproof. I really like the triple black color with a splash of gray for a classy style. The arc is awesome for wearing all day , i had trouble with my feet feeling kinda numb from wearing all day with my other pair of hiking boots, but with these, I have not had an issue. They are also well made for their lightweight design, and I hope they last a while. Definitely get these if you're looking for a light, comfortable, and classy looking shoe, especially if you are on a hard surface and on your feet all day.

Cloud like waterproof all terrains
1 week ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Right out of the box these bad boys were comfortable. They are true to size and they appear to be constructed good. The traction on grass street or gravel is there and it feels like a running shoe. The gortex lining is the cherry on top due to the rain we have been getting and I can attest to them being water proof. I made the mistake to wearing them to work the first day because it never fails 30 minutes in to work I get into a foot chase lol just like that last two new pairs I wore. You can feel the cushion and they are light.

Great quality

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are clean! I had no idea Keen had high quality gear. These feel solid and the material feels great. This is my official first pair of outdoor shoes and I am glad it's these by Keen. The soles have so much tread and grip. Keen did not spare any details. These are awesome.

Impressive “Active” Boots from Keen
3 weeks ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently received the Keen Zionic NXT Mid WP hiking boots in Triple Black, and I have to say, they’ve quickly impressed me. First off, these boots are incredibly lightweight. They don’t feel clunky at all, which makes them super comfortable right out of the box. On my first hike with them, which included some rocky creekside walking, the performance was excellent. The grip was solid, and at no point did I feel like I was in danger of slipping, even on wet rocks. I did end up testing the waterproofing, and it worked exactly as advertised—my feet stayed completely dry. In terms of comparison, I’d say these boots are on par with my On Running Cloudrocks, but they actually feel a bit lighter on my feet. I really like that about them. Of course, the big question is durability over time. I generally take good care of my footwear—wiping them down and keeping them clean—so I’m hopeful these will last me for years with the proper maintenance. I also love how versatile they are. The all-black style looks great and works just as well with cargo shorts on a wooded hike as it does with jeans for a casual night out. I’m curious to see how they perform in winter conditions with a little snow, but so far, they’ve exceeded expectations in comfort, traction, and waterproofing. Overall, I’m giving these boots a full 5/5 stars. They’re comfortable, stylish, and versatile—and I’ll be wearing them often. Highly recommend.

Super awesome lightweight hiking boots
3 days ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been very impressed by Keen’s Zionic NXT hiking boots. The boots are about 30% lighter than my previous hiking boots, so I took them on a two day backpacking trip to see how well they held up. The boots were very sturdy and I didn’t see any damage. I feel like these boots will last for many hikes to come. They don’t give as much support as a full ankle sized boot, but they are much more comfortable and I felt secure throughout the hike. I tested the waterproofing in a mountain stream and later during a rainstorm and found it to be very effective. I like that the boots are breathable and my feet didn’t get as sweaty as in other waterproof boots. These boots are a really impressive improvement in technology, by combining comfort and waterproofing in a lightweight package. They are an excellent choice if you’re looking for a waterproof hiking boot.

Comfortable and good grip

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes are surprisingly comfortable and seem to be very well made. Compared to other hiking style shoes I've have had over the years, these can be wore in various environments and even as a comfortable rugged everyday pair to wear around town!

Reassuring - feels great from the start
1 month ago
This is exactly what I was looking for. Very light weight, ankle support, and nothing digs in to the skin. Perfect fit, same size I buy in the Vans that I wear around daily. Took only a few hikes for me to feel like they were broken in, but it honestly felt like that from the start. Wore them inside the house out of the box for the first night, could barely hear me walking around the house on the floors, like they were glued to my feet and my ankles. I am very confident that these will do fine on the four day hike I have planned this week on the Colorado Trail.

Comfort and support
2 days ago
. Between neuropathy and balance issues, I’ve had a hard time finding comfortable, supportive hiking/walking boots for my daily 3 miles trek with the family dog. These Keen Zionic NXTs are my new favorites. And they are lighter than I expected. I treated myself to a pair of Keen high arch inserts which add to the support and stability.
