[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Women’s Roam Trail Running Shoes from Influenster, and I’m incredibly grateful for them. I’m currently pregnant, so comfort is extremely important to me. With the added weight putting more pressure on my feet, I needed shoes that would feel supportive, and these have been surprisingly perfect. Thanks to their Quantum Foam Cushioning, it honestly feels like I’m walking on clouds. They’re very comfortable, and light with plenty of room for the toes, so they can work well even for wider feet. I’m truly happy to have them — at this point, they seem to be the most comfortable sneakers I own, and I can definitely recommend them to anyone.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Keen running shoes for a few days now, and I’m really impressed. The breathability is excellent — my feet stay cool and dry even on long runs. The traction is outstanding too, giving me great grip on both pavement and trails. When it comes to comfort, these shoes definitely deliver; the cushioning feels supportive without being too soft. The fit is true to size and hugs the foot securely, preventing any slipping or rubbing. Finally, the durability has exceeded my expectations — after miles, they still look and perform like new. Overall, a fantastic pair of running shoes!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wore these for a full month before sharing my thoughts - so you know they are actually tried with a truthful review! These are great shoes for both running and walking. They have a good amount of cushion, especially in the inner arch of the foot - which is good because I tend to pronate in when I run. I’ve tested them on both road and dirt/rock trails and they work excellent for both. They have a good amount of tread on the bottom so you’re not slipping around. The toe box is wider than a lot of other running shoes. This leaves room for swelling while exercising, helping prevent blisters. The only thing slightly negative I will note is there is not as much ankle support as I would like. I would also recommend sizing up half a size if you are using strictly for running to allow a bit more room for your feet to swell. If you are using them for walking or daily use I would say they are pretty true to size. I normally wear a size 8 or 8 & 1/2 in regular or other exercise shoes and got these in an 8 & 1/2.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Keen Roam Trail Running Shoe is incredibly comfortable straight out of the box. There’s generous space across the toes, which adds comfort without compromising fit. I’ve worn them for indoor treadmill runs, outdoor runs, casual walks, and even hikes with my dog on uneven terrain. Whether I’m on gravel, dirt, or pavement, the traction has been excellent. They feel supportive and well-cushioned, which makes a noticeable difference on longer walks and tougher trails. I’m a true 7.5 but ended up sizing up to an 8, and the fit is perfect. These have quickly become my go-to shoes for both workouts and everyday wear. Highly recommend!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wore these on a recent trip to St. George and took them for a couple adventures up snow canyon. They have held up wonderfully since I’ve started wearing them. The soles have just enough traction to get through dusty, rocky terrain, but aren’t heavy or bulky like hiking shoes. Additionally they are so light weight and perfect to travel with! It’s super easy to clean the fabric of the shoes and they dry quick. I love how breathable they feel as well, seriously so comfy! Bonus points for the nice bounce you get when running! 😌 I will say they run a bit big- I would probably size down on my next pair as there’s lots of room in the toe area. Otherwise perfect!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall I do like these shoes. They do run a little small, they fit a big snug. They are very light weight and have a good grip. I’ve gone on runs and hikes with them and they have been very comfortable. I also like the style and look of this shoe. Goes with any outfit.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I say it was love at first fit, I mean it was love at first fit! These feel like perfectly fit clouds for my feet. The quality of the shoe is wonderful down to the stitching, laces, sole, insole, and more. I have yet to find one flaw. When I run in them, it almost makes my stride feel lighter. I know it sounds crazy, but it’s true. They have easily become my new favorite shoe, for all kinds of running…actual runs, running errands, running around chasing kids, all of it! For those with wide feet, the shoes are not too narrow but are not a wide fit.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The shoes are super comfy and great for runs or hikes that mix pavement, gravel, and light trails. They’ve got a roomy toe box, soft but supportive cushioning, and just enough grip to handle most terrain without feeling stiff. The fit is just right. I usually wear a size 6.5 or 7. This size 7 is the perfect size. They’re breathable and feel really solidly made, though not the best for super muddy or wet trails. Overall, they’re a great pick if you want one pair that’s durable, easy to wear, and works for everyday outdoor adventures.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] these shoes are incredible. I have used them for walks, short runs and long runs and they have remained incredibly comfortable. They are very supportive and provide ample bounce for a variety of terrains. I have used them primarily for trails consisting of dirt and rocks and they have remained lightweight and comfortable for all of these terrains. True to size. I would 100% recommend.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] have only had these for about a month but they have already cemented their place in my closet. There were easy to get on, incredibly comfortable right out of the box, and did not disappoint during my treadmill runs and long days at work on my feet. These would be a great option for runners, hikers, walkers and anyone who just wants a comfortable all-purpose shoe. I did size up a half-size from my regular Keen size for a little extra toe room, but could have worn my regular size the material is waterproof and its very light-weight feels amazing on the plantar sole of my feet
