Falling apart

"Bought keen flex waterproof hiking boots. Wore less than 6 times and they are falling apart."

— John v. (1/5)

Disappointing comfort, though well constructed

"I have purchased five pairs of Keen footwear (Newport, Sparta, Evanston 6"hard toe, Evanston 6" soft toe, Detroit), and consider myself a very satisfied and loyal wearer of the brand. However, this Detroit soft toe has been such a disappointment, not in looks or construction, but in comfort. With my foot inside the shoe, it feels very rigid, very hard on the bottom of my foot, unlike the Evanstons which I wear on the job, standing and walking aboard ship for hours at a time; the Evanstons always provide a bit of a cushion-ey feel. Wish I could make them work for me, but they feel just hard as a rock inside."

— Kevin T. (2/5)

"I love my Keen’s - I am a ground foreman - 5-15 miles a day -awesome boots"

— Ryan (5/5)

"Came on time"

"these feel great right out of the box"

— chris (5/5)

Comfort

"These are some of the most comfortable shoes 👞 have put on my feet. I work in them all day and my feet never hurt. They hold up good on the farm or in the shop where ever I am working. I even wear them during hunting season and walk many a mile in them. I have a second pair I keep to wear when I go to town."

— Juanita S. (5/5)

"I love boots, they fit nice and i like the way they look. The only problem it look like the right boot toe (front of the laces)was stained dark so the color does not match the left boot I was thinking someone bought the boots and tryed to stained them and did not like the color and returned them"

— Thomas (4/5)

"Out of the box they are like a broken in pair of work boots! This is my 3rd pair of Keens. I'm on my feet all day usually working in water. love em!"

— William J. (5/5)

"Great fit. . great quality"

— Michael (5/5)

Never buying again

"Bought them 8/30/2023 and the soles are falling apart. This is my second pair of Keen boots, can’t remember what style, but those lasted 3 months. $175 for not even 2 years. Had a $99 pair of Timberland that lasted 5+ years."

— Brian L. (1/5)
