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.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased a pair of Zionics. I wore them one evening in the house to break in. The next day hiked 7 miles and they performed exceptionally well! After a couple more hikes, I ordered a second pair. They are that good! I almost ordered a wide size but glad I didn’t. These fit perfectly. Heading to Glacier soon. These boots should get a good workout. Light and extremely comfortable and so far, very durable.
Wore these on a challenging hike in the Adirondacks that I have done many times. They are light, the traction is good and the soles were much more solid than I expected. Had a moderate rain that day and never really worried about slipping. This was a 70th birthday hike up some very steep and rocky terrain. I was trying to push myself and wanted something lighter. . I have 3 other pairs of Keens and these are the best.
The perfect Keen 🥰 I love the Zionic NXT. I have had several pairs of Keens. This is their best boot ever. They found a way to keep great ankle support specially around the back heel (which I broke several years ago) and yet keep it lightweight. I’ve been wearing it nonstop for a week and I’m planning to buy another pair in a different color to have variety.
This looks like a comfortable and great-looking boot! Why is it not available in Wide? I would definitely give it a try for my husband who is on his feet all day on a large estate…
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the style I like the way they look. . They run a little narrow if they would have been available in wide, they would be perfect.
Great shoes went hiking all week in rocky national park in coloardo and they worked great they were also really comfortably inside
I like the fit of these shoes. They are light, flexible with responsive cushioning and feel like sneakers or running shoes.
Would buy if they had in extra wide…. too narrow….
