KEEN Men's Ridge Flex Mid Height Waterproof Hiking Boots

Excellent comfort and durable. Walked the tough Inca trail for 4 days with no problems.

I bought my first pair of Keens in 2012. The first time I slipped into them and went for a hike, they felt as if they'd been broken-in for weeks. Since then, I've bought a pair a year. The old pair goes into dirty jobs like concrete and stone work. The new pair is for hiking and church. But . . . This latest version, the Ridge Flex, is the best so far with that bellows technology. I bought the boot in gray bc it was a lot cheaper than the other colors in my size. I suspect that the gray is not flying off the shelves and might be discontinued. So I ordered a second pair the day after the first pair of Ridge Flex arrived (yesterday). Just checked my order history. I've owned 11 pair of Keens. And believe me, they get worked out. Every single day, work, hiking, hunting. Just on a whim I bought a highly rated hike-hunt boot of a premium brand that cost three times as much. That was last fall. I still have not gotten the feeling they're broken-in. Whereas the Keens that arrived yesterday feel good on me whether I'm walking or sitting still to write this review. Enough said?

I like the flex zone that is built into these boots. Also, my foot is wider but I don't wear a wide Size yet these boots have a little extra wiggle room, not a tight Toe box... I do grass, cutting and landscaping and these get a lot of hours and wear and tear I am also an avid hiker so I keep 2 sets 1 for work and one for hiking. I would not take these on the Appalachian trail. Because with hard use, things start to bust a part. And they are not the most water resistant. But for the price point, the flexibility comfortability. You can't go wrong. This is my second pair.

If you have a friend who tells you these are the best hiking boots, unfriend them They are not your friend. If you like "waterproof" boots that start taking on water in multiple places in about 6 months, these are the boots for you. I am not a die-hard hiker. Three or four long mountain hikes a year, and walking my dog on nearby trails. Hardly a rigorous test of quality. Sure, they started out lightweight and comfortable. 4 stars for that. Then it goes downhill fast, and not in a fun way. That Patented "Flex" thing on the instep is the first place that fails to keep your socks dry. It cracks and separates and, unless you never step in wet grass or water deeper than 1", you're coming home with squishy socks. This was less than 6 months in. Then the leather pulled away from the heel. Then the tread pulled away from the sole. I bought these on 8/29/2021. It is now 9/22/2022 and they are in complete ruin. After the first failure, I wrote in to Keen corporate requesting they honor their "1 Year Warranty" with photos attached and never heard back. I guess they bought Columbia boots and took a hike. If I were British I would say these are absolute rubbish. Tell that ex-friend who recommended them. Make new friends and tell them. Gather a mob and storm corporate with torches and pitchforks, just don't let one more pair of these disappointing, shoddily made, overrated (I hesitate to call them) "boots" hit the trail. I beg of you. Cameron Chalfont, PA

I have had these shoes for half of a day and I am so in love with them! I got the Zinfandel color and it is just gorgeous! I ordered these as an alternative to my Chacos for a trip to Ireland this summer in order to spare my feet from the limestone we will be hiking on. I know these arent technically closed toed shoes, but they sure do feel like it! The cords are very flexible and move according to your foot. I enjoyed the nice weather today with these on and theyre perfectly breathable, so the sun doesnt feel so intensely hot on my feet. I see on the sole of the shoe it says "anatomical footbed", and i can only guess that the material is supposed to morph to your foot, because the heels are already feel molded to my foot shape. The pictures of the tread on Amazon dont do justice, the tread is deeper than expected. These sandals should wear slowly, but only time will tell! I was absolutely in love with this style of shoe before I got it, and many of my friends advised me that they were too ugly to purchase, but upon recieving them and posting them on social media, everyone who once doubted the style learned that in reality, they're cute! These sandals are extremely comfortable, and it is unfortunate that they rank higher in comfort and flexibility than my chacos I've had for over a year. The size I ordered fit perfectly, and ive always ignored my 8 1/2 size foot and stook to 9s. I have not had to adjust these shoes, but that is just a personal experience. There is the slightest rubbing on top of my right toes but Im almost certain this will go away after a few days. I am so incredibly happy with them! Thanks Keen!

SO I LOVE THESE BOOTS, BUT FOR 144.00 I SHOULDNT HAVE TO BUY INSOLES. PERIOD. SO 4 STARS BECAUSE SHOES COMPANIES REALLY NEED TO STOP DOING THIS. THE INSOLE IS THE MOST INPORTANT PART OF ANY FOOT WEAR, THE BOOT SHOULD BE 75 OR LESS FOR HOW REDICULOUSLY HARDDD THE PAPER THIN INSOLE IS. NOW I DID SAY I LOVE THEM THOUGH HERES WHY, I USUALLY WEAR VIBRAMS UNLESS ITS RAINY (I LIVE IN Portland Oregon), SO MY TOES ARE SPREAD OUT ALOT MORE THAN THE AVERAGE PERSONS. THESE BOOTS HAVE A HUGE TOEBOX AND LOTS OF ANCKLE SUPPORT WHICH MAKES HIKING AMAZINGLY COMFORTABLE, UNLESS YOU DONT CHANGE THE INSOLE THEN YOUR FEET WILL BE SORE AN HURT FOR DAYS. LOL SO LIKE IT LITERALLY RUINS THE SHOE, JUST KNOW ITLL TAKE SOME SOLES TO MAKE THEM GOOD. NOT COOL RIGHT? EH ID BUY THEM AGAIN THOUGH.

They are great. Never wet, put tons of miles on these and the worst thing is some of the tread pulled apart wich I superglued and never worried about it again. I'm a land surveyor and put about 8-10 miles a day. Thay are very comfy and seem to push me forward. I'm 8 months in still going strong

Kaliteli ve rahat. Severek kullanıyorum

日常生活で活用しています。 犬の散歩でも、どんどん歩いてます。疲れません。 履くときに、少々窮屈ですが、履いてしまうと気になりません。歩いている時に小石が侵入するのは、仕方ないかな。

I wear hiking boots or shoes all the time have only been wearing Keen for about 6 months now, really comfortable & light weight, this new pair are really good can recommend, great price also & delivery was on time.

履きやすくてかわいいとか最強！ めちゃくちゃ歩きやすいし、普通のサンダルよりおしゃれ。 店舗で買うよりAmazonの方が安かったです。 プラス1cmでサイズはちょうど良かった。
