Love the Shoe, but Not for Me
"I really wanted this to be my next trail shoe. Unfortunately the upper is a bit too tight. The way the shoe is designed, it is too tight for me. The tongue fits around using elastic that provides a snug fit. Might be too snug if you have a higher volume foot like me. I also found the toe box to be a bit small but I need a wide toe box. The foam is where this shoe really shines. It’s a great balance of being firm enough to feel connected to the ground while also providing enough cushion from the impact. As much as I wanted to love this shoe, it’s designed in a way that does not work for me. Hope this helps you decide it this shoe will work for you."

I have limited to wide,
"I have limited to wide, footshaped shoes like Altra forever (I do absolutely love them, but always good to shop around!) These shoes are amazing, the stretchy upper and sock feature keeps my feet snug but still allows for wide forefoot to feel comfortable. I am really impressed. Brilliant that the shoe also has a trail gaiter velcro fitting too. The sole looks excellent but an upgrade would be a Vibram or alternate rugged brand- the sole is really good but I'm not certain how it will hold up compared to other shoes - we will see! Injinji socks match perfectly also! Overall very impressed"

Comfortable summer running shoe
"These shoes are comfortable right out of the box which is really nice and I really appreciate the wider toe box just to have that extra space during long runs. I have high arches and I was worried I wouldn't be able to get the shoe on but they easily slipped on. I do appreciate the the glove fit keeps the dirt and rocks out. However, there are a few downsides to the shoe: 1. They feel like a sock and fit like a sock however in the Pacific Northwest, the shoes get wet very quickly on brushy trails or during rain. Since the shoe appears to be a sock type material, your feet get wet very quickly ( I was on a brushy trail wet with dew and my feet were soaked within 1/4 mile of the run) and they took ages to dry out. 2. The grip of the shoes also does not do well on wet conditions such as wet roots or rocks -they tend to slip on you. I also noticed that even on dry rocks , the grip is not as great as other trail shoes I own. So far, I've only worn them three times (one 6 mile run, one 12 mile run, and one 50k race). The shoes were great during the race and I had no pain, hot spots, or soreness. I really appreciated the comfort that they offered the whole race. However, the last bit of the race was rocky (talus fields) and these shoes did not do as well as I had wanted them to do. Additionally the lateral stability isn't as great so I had to take it slow on the rocks due to the poor grip and the stability. Sadly, some of the lugs had ripped off in the 50K race and I suspect it was due to not being able to handle the rocky parts at the end. . Overall, they are a decent shoe and these will continue to be my summer long distance trail running shoes. However , I hope that keen will make an improved version with better lugs, improved traction on wet terrain, and maybe even a different outer material that doesn't get as wet quickly."

Fabulous shoes! I wear them
"Fabulous shoes! I wear them for long hikes over trails and they're like walking on clouds. Lots of room for my toes, nice a supportive and they look fantastic! Love them"

the best
"I typically do not like shoes that have a sewn in tongue and these were a little tight on the first wear but after that they were fine. I liked them so much I've bought 2 more pairs. I walk all day for my job (13+miles/day)and generally have an active life so I have a lot of time on my feet and good shoes are a must. I have many other brands and models to choose from but I have grabbed these about 95% of the time the last 3 months over my hokas and brooks. These don't have the aggressive cushioning of the other 2 brands but somehow my feet feel way less tired the next day. So glad I found these!"

Great out of the box!
"I bought these shoes as running shoes after signing up for my first-ever 5K race. I tried them on and did a few things in them, but the race was my first time wearing them for an extended period of time. My feet felt great - supported, comfortable, not squished at all. Excellent cushioning in these shoes. As usual, Keen delivered a perfect fit with no break-in time required!"

Worth the Wait
"Don’t be like me! Don’t wait to grab a pair of these! I hemmed and hawed for a year before finally hitting “buy”, and I only wish I had gotten them sooner. The fitting is true to Keen’s reputation. Nice and roomy with a wide toebox. While not as wide as trail runner aiming for the “natural shape” of the foot, there is plenty of room for feet swelling and gripping the ground. The width may not be the best for those with narrow feet but it was perfect for me and my C width foot. The supercritical foam hit the perfect middle ground between supportive and soft, giving me great ground feel on trail. The 4mm lugs made them suitable for both gravel work and, combined with the solid base, more technical New England terrain. The upper was a knit and surprisingly soft, and, isn’t too warm either. I enjoyed it on short to middle length runs. Overall, Keen for their first foray into trail running took their first steps seriously and made a beautiful and effective first trial shoe for their line. I’m so excited to see what comes next from Keen in their trail running line!"

Perfect fit, I have a
"Perfect fit, I have a small heel and wide toe area these shoes are great to jog in."

These have restored my faith in running shoes!
"I got a pair a few months ago and have put about 200 miles of walking/hiking/running on them since. I've tried a number of other shoes but haven't really found my "Goldilocks" pair until these! They're so comfortable and have genuinely exceeded my expectations. I use them for long runs, tempo runs, hill sprints, and even reach for them when going on walks just because they're so comfy. I'd love to see a version with a little more weather-resistance as your feet will get soaked in wet conditions. For reference, my feet measure about 4" across flat at the widest point and these fit comfortably for me in my usual size (6. 5)."
