Even when these boots first arrived I was disappointed because the arch profile is high and rigid. But otherwise, I liked the boots so I added an insert around the arch and it seemed to help. But now, after owning the boots for just a month, the outer sole is starting to deteriorate. I haven't even worn them everyday, just for outdoor walks about 3 times a week. I've never seen this happen in any shoe before. I wanted to like these boots because they are pretty, but paying as much as I did for these just to see chunks start to fall out of them after less than 30 days is so frustrating. It's also too late to return them. Argh. . .
I just had to finally let go of a pair of Keen Targhee hiking boots I’ve been wearing regularly since 2013. So they lasted 12 years! These Leiki’s are lighter and dare I say even more comfortable. I hope they last just as long! This is my third pair of Keen hikers and I think I’ll never go anywhere else. Comfortable right out of the box on a six foot hike, no breaking in time needed. And this model is an even more attractive style, with the same roomy toe area. Love!!
Aside from being significantly more attractive than most hiking footwear out there, these boots are very comfortable. I also find the style quite versatile, and anticipate wearing them on the weekends in the fall and spring.
Only had them for one week. They were comfortable from the first step. Well cushioned footbed and supported all around. Fairly lightweight.
