Reviews
Fit true to size and
"Fit true to size and has a great sock like fit which holds my mid foot really well but still allow for my toes to splay. Great stability on the trains and good traction on dry surface - interest to know how they perform on wet trails this autumn and winter but hoping for good things. The upper material feels robust and with a very breathable fabric. A great trail shoe and a really pleasing purchase!"

So Far, So Good
"I have feet with a wide forefoot that are very difficult to fit. Keen seems to have found the right formula. I have spinal nerve damage that impacts how my shoes fit and feel as it requires a custom orthotic footbed. Looking forward to seeing how long they last."

Excellent
"These might be some of the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. I'm a longtime Keen person, and these have been really good. I recently had to retire from running, but these shoes are great for long walks in varied terrain."

Cushy
"I had a pair of shoes that I liked a lot, air padded. But nothing lasts forever. Time to trash them. I have been wearing Keen hiking boots for many years, pleased that they actually provide enough room for my toes (I once tried another brand in size W, took it back). So I was primed to try Keen shoes. Existing boots: 42/ US9, two pairs of heavy socks Shoes, based on measurement in store: 40. 5/ US8 I probably should have bought at least 8. 5. One pair of heavy socks is snug and two wouldn't really be possible. Next time. They're springy, they roll, almost enough to feel unstable. I'm ok with that because I want the balance and stability exercise. I walk on sidewalks and hike hard-packed trails and rocks and I'm ok trading off a certain amount of comfort for performance. If you're trying to minimize lost energy in the shoes, this is probably not the right one for you."

Really happy with these shoes,
"Really happy with these shoes, which I'm using for light hiking. They feel comfortable from the beginning, and stable and supportive. My feet are narrow-ish, size 13 UK but wider where I have protruding bunions, and the toe box is just right for this. I normally wear superfeet insoles in my Hokas and Topos, but the proprietary Keen insoles are great and better for me here. They are superb! Thank you."

Best Shoes Ever!!!!!!
"From the first time i slipped them on I knew they were super comfortable. From hiking on trails to playing disc golf they have been exceptional. Great traction on wet or dry terrain. I highly recommend. Currently I wear 5 other different kinds of Keen shoes/boots, but these are my favorite!"

Hands down the best trail shoes for me ever.
"I have tried A LOT of trail shoes and when I tried these on initially at the Oregon Cascades 50 last summer I knew Keen did something right. I finally retired my Trabuco Max 3s and was in the market for a new pair and this was top of my list. (the trabuoco max 4 wasn't wide enough). I have 2 runs in them so far, 4 mile to make sure they fit and then a 19 mile with varrying terrain of steep climbs, descents, technical sections, mud, dirt road, bike path, you name it. The fit is excellent, the wide toe box is perfect, the upper is soft the traction was always consistent. They have enough stack for really long miles but it isnt too mushy like other brands can be. Ill be ordering a second pair to keep for ultras because I dont want to run in any other trail shoe."

Good looking shoe
"Think this is a great looking shoe, however, returned mine after less than a month due to the tread loosening from the sole and very slippery soles. Would not purchase again. Will stick to my tried and true Hoka Challengers."
