My Review of Keen Voyageur Mid Hiking Boots - Men's

Originally submitted at REI

Like its cousin, Targhee, the midheight Keen Voyageur hiking boot offers the same 4-wheel-drive traction and stability minus the waterproof barrier.

Keen Voyageur Mid Hiking Boots - Men's

Good, but not great

4out of 5

Gift: No

Pros: Flexible, Comfortable/No Break-In

Cons: Dirt gets in easy, Difficult Laces

Best Uses: Day Hiking, Wet Conditions, Light Loads

Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer

Sizing: Feels true to size

These boots are comfortable and need very little, if any, break in time. These best uses are for light load, short trip hikes.The traction is great for what I use them for which is trails in National Parks. My only two isues are the lacing system, which never feels tight enough, and loosens quickly; and the top of the booots seems loose all the time allowing dirt and stones in the boot frequently.

Keen Austin Shoes - Men's

Very comfortable, not so durable

Gift: No

Sizing: Feels true to size

Width: Feels true to width

Pros: Stable, Comfortable

Cons: Wear Out Quickly

Best Uses: Casual Wear

Describe Yourself: Comfort Driven

These are very comfortable shoes (as with most Keen footwear). After one year of casual wear the sole is splitting off the shoe on both left and right shoe. This is somewhat dissapointing, I expect a good brand shoe to last longer in very casual usage situations. The style is unique and fun.
