[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Obsessed! As someone who walks and does cardio everyday I’m always looking for new running shoes. Those are so comfortable and light! I actually find them to be way better than my hokas. They fit true to size and don’t feel heavy on the feet. Love them!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They are a great sleek design. They fit perfectly (didn’t have to size up or down). They will be durable and comfortable for trail exercising. I love the trendy color and design.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shoe has excellent foot and ankle support, allowing for your foot not to slip out of the shoe when running trails. I love that. It feels like you’re running on a cloud as this shoe provides a really good bounce which causes you to feel light on your feet! I also really love the color scheme of this shoe and how it’s has a nice feminine touch of pink. I cannot wait to wear these shoes out on my next trail run :)
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Finally a pair of shoes that fit my feet the way I need them to. I have medium wide feet and these have a wide toe box with plenty of room. They feel amazing I wore them a few days clocking in a lot of miles and they performed beautifully. I really love the way they look the color is beautiful and they have a K on there which is the initial of my first name so I love that for me. I have never had a pair of Keen shoes before but they have made me a customer. I would definitely recommend these for anybody that has medium wide to wide feet and if you're looking for a very comfortable hiking shoe.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Living in Colorado, I've tried my fair share of trail shoes and these Keens are my absolute favorite so far! From the first wear, they were comfortable; they're made of a breathable sock like material so there's no pinching or real need to break them in. The insole does begin to form to your foot which is nice, but again, never uncomfortable. They also fit true to size. I love that they have a nice wide toe box - narrow toe boxes are a common pain point for me even in my best trail shoes, but these completely alleviate this issue. Zero pinching! Additionally, they have the perfect tread to grip gravel and rock without being a bulky, heavy shoe. Out of curiosity, one night I wore them for a bikeride and they were fantastic...really held my shoe to the pedal. And lastly, the color scheme I received works well with my whole wardrobe. Even my daughter commented on how nice they look! Truly a 10/10 shoe with no notes and I will repurchase them when I wear this pair out.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After a week of putting the new Keen Seek trail running shoes to the test, I can confidently say they’ve earned a permanent spot in my rotation. As someone who values natural foot movement and prioritizes wide toe boxes, these Keens Seek trail runners are a great choice. They offer a thoughtful mix of comfort, protection, and performance with a natural-foot design that encourages healthy movement. These have quickly become my go-to trail shoes, and I’m looking forward to putting many more miles on them.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the KEEN Seek Trail Running Shoe for free in exchange for an honest review, and I’m truly impressed. This shoe is perfect for wide feet and super comfortable, flexible, and still offers a secure, snug fit. The grip on the bottom is outstanding, making it ideal for both running and hiking. The material is breathable, which keeps my feet cool and dry even during longer wear. I find myself wearing it all the time now, it’s become my go-to shoe for everything! It’s also lightweight, has excellent cushioning and the reflective laces are a great safety feature for early morning or evening outings. Highly recommend for anyone looking for performance, comfort, and all day support.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a big fan of Keen shoes. Being from the Northwest, they're a staple of my closet, and I've owned several pair. That being said, the fit is always so different with each shoe, making it a nerve racking purchase at times. I love the size of the wider toe box on this particular shoe, and they fit comfortably but are just a slight too long. It's not so much so that they're uncomfortable or that they dont fit. I've put in more than 10 miles on trails and they're a great shoe. Excellent traction, the upper is extremely comfortable and the shoe is durable and breathable. I'd like to see more waterproofing options on the trail shoe line in the future. Overall a great option and I recommend.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These KEEN Women’s Seek Trail Running Shoes offer exceptional comfort and a secure fit for long runs. The rugged outsole provides great traction on varied terrain, while the breathable mesh keeps feet cool. Built to last, they deliver impressive durability without sacrificing lightweight support. Ideal for outdoor enthusiasts and trail runners.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pros: the shoes are light, very nice to walk or run. I have size 7 and it fits perfectly. It also has a good traction. I feel very comfortable when wearing it. With the wide range, my toes can breathe easily. Cons: I don’t like the shape and the color. For me, it looks boring, not active.
