Great!
Yes , I recommend this product
I wanted to get a nice all purpose waterproof boot that I could take on dog walks or on light trails. I tried multiple pairs from different reputable boot brands which were either heavy or uncomfortable. I went to REI to try and find a pair and found these. I could not take them off! They are SUPER lightweight and comfortable boots! Very comfortable to walk in and fit more like a comfy sneaker than a chunky boot, and they have a nice roomy toe box. The waterproof liner is silent and does not make any crunching noises or feelings when walking, which is a huge plus. Very satisfied so far, they seem to be a great all around boot

Checks All the Boxes - Looks Great, Too
Yes , I recommend this product
Backpacker here. I’ve worn a heavier, low‑cut shoe for years, but after my doctor diagnosed a knee issue I wanted something lighter and more supportive on descents. I tried a mid-height option from my usual brand and two super‑cushy models from another brand. None of them felt right. These did. My foot is a standard size 11 with a higher instep, and the fit on these is great. Plenty of room across the top, lots of toe space (left, right + up, down), and a comfortable midfoot that doesn’t feel too shallow or tight. I felt a little play in the heel when I first put them on, but one extra tug on the laces and the shoe locked in with zero slip. The ride feels protective and comfortable without being mushy. I’m aware of the ground beneath me, but not to the extent that I feel exposed to sharp rocks. There’s a gentle rebound, and although mid-height is new to me, I’m pretty sure I’m going to like it. I’ll keep an eye out for anything that could roll an ankle, but these make me feel safer, and I think that’ll add to the pleasure of my hikes. They’re also very easy to get on thanks to the wide opening. The other mid-height options I tried had narrow tops that I really disliked. These also have just one single speed-lace, and it tightens quickly. Putting them on isn’t much different from slipping on a regular shoe. Durability remains to be seen, but I feel confident. This is KEEN, after all. And for the price, if they help my knees — as I think they will — they’re absolutely worth it.
