Keep Your Feet Toasty Warm and Comfortable with Howser

Friday, February 3rd, 2012

“KEEN has been on a roll lately. Every pair of shoes or boots I’ve tested, I’ve loved. The Wool Howser is no exception. Intended to be a slipper, I’ve taken to wearing it to work on a semi-regular basis. The Wool Howser is comfortable slip on shoe, and offers just the right amount of warmth. Your feet won’t be sweating but they won’t be freezing either. I love them! The elastic side panels allow for easy entry into the shoes. I have mid-height arches and the Howsers fit fine and are easy to slip on and off. ” – by Claire of Gear.com, Keen Howser Wool Slipper

KEEN Tryon WP Designed for Adventure, Built to Last: A Review By Gumption Gear

Sunday, January 8th, 2012

“The Tryon is built to last: Even after canyon-country abuse, the Tryon’s abrasion resistant and breathable textile mesh upper showed only normal wear and tear, while the sole held up better than average for a shoe this light. Every step on rock-strewn trails and slush-covered slick rocks in California’s Auburn Recreation Areafelt secure thanks to the Tryon’s tacky low-profile tread. Add to that the stone-bruising protection plate and patented rubber Toe Guards and our tester’s feet were well protected against those nasty rocks and polished roots on expeditions around Lake Tahoe.” – Posted by Gumption Gear, KEEN Tryon WP: Designed for Adventure, Built to Last
