“For the Carpenter: Most steel-toe caps cover the front fifth of a foot. But the asymmetrical safety toe on the KEEN Tacoma is full-size over the big toe and slimmer over the smaller ones, shedding weight and maximizing mobility.” – Popular Mechanics, Supreme Work Boots (February 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

“The Pyrenees are highly capable hikers, with a waterproof membrane, chunky lugged sole and full nubuck leather construction that could pull long-weekend backpacking duty if need be. In fact, they’re so versatile, the Pyrenees might be the only boots you need,” comments Jason Heaton of Gear Patrol. Check out the full post here.

“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

“I love companies that don’t just sell green, but live it. KEEN is one of those brands. KEEN has great footwear, produced using sustainable practices, and they are BIG on getting outside and helping others all over the world. The best part about their shoes? The boys think they’re cool, and I know they last. Tristin and Tyler have a had a pair of Coronados for over a year and they look GREAT!” – Tiffany Casanova of Green Child Magazine

“A good pair of shoes are essential for any adventure and the KEEN Voyageur hiking boots are a great option for any summer escape.

Gadling Gear Girl Pam Mandel is a fan of KEEN shoes too, recommending the McKenzie as a versatile warm weather shoe for a variety of activities.” – Gift Guide for Warm Weather Adventurers by Kraig Becker of The Gadling, a blog from the Huffington Post.

“New sneakers are by far the most coveted acquisition if you’re a kid. Although boys have got this category covered, there are equally cool and stylish options for girls. Besides, who’s to say a girl can’t wear “boys’” sneakers? Case in point, the Coronado High Top by KEEN. The cool quotient is in high gear and moms will love that they’re built for serious wear and tear. Constructed with recycled aluminum eyelets and adhesive-free vulcanized rubber with reinforced toes, they come in black and jester red, and are available for boys and girls in infant, toddler and youth sizes.” – Margaret Logan, Raising Maine MLStyle
