Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
I have 5 pair of KEEN shoes based on the comfort of the Austin. This is the first and only "boot". These feel much smaller than any of the low cut shoes. Tight in the toe. Keen is exceptional most of the time. This was a surprise.
Great fit right out of the box.

I bought these for my husband to replace his uncomfortable Harley boots for motorcycling on a recomdation from a friend who wears Keen all the time. These are comfortable right from the start, no breaking in time required. I myself own a pair of Keen and love them as well. Very, very comfortable shoes...

I wear a pair of Keen sandals everyday in the summer months. This includes, brisk walking and biking on non-difficult trails. These shoes are the same size of my sandals however as soon as I put my foot in the shoe, I knew we didn't have a perfect fit. The fit felt about a half size too smaill and I never even got the opportunity to try them on the trail.

I live in an historical neighborhood with plenty of uneven brick streets and sidewalks. I am blind and need to respond to the walking surface quickly for each step. These shoes provide me with a great deal of stability in my frequent power walks.

I purchased a pair when they first came out - they have held up very well - many backcountry hikes/rivers/rocks. Very light and my legs are not sore after a day of hiking as they are from other boot brands. I just bought my second pair for more backcountry - i wore the treads out on the first pair - which are now my day hiking shoes.

These shoes should have been more durable for the money. I've had them 8 months and seams are ripping and sole rubber is falling off. Comfort is OK, but I would have preferred a 2EE width (not currently offered)

I have owned these boots for a little over a year and estimate they have close to 1000 miles on them. I work in them every day for about 12-14 hours. They are holding up great and still have plenty of life left. When they wear out I will buy another pair without even looking for other boots. 10 times more comfortable than my $180 Vasque boots.

I have worn them almost every day except 4-5 months in Winter weather. I have worn them for a little over 3 years. I am now replacing them with a brand new pair. I have been so extremely happy with these boots that I have been wearing and using the Keen
Snoqualmie boots for the Winter months. I am a Land Surveyor and can walk up to 5 miles a day in harsh terrain. Other boots I have owned usually don't last more than a year.

I've had this shoe about two months. Great for walking, I walk 3 to 5 miles everyday in all weather. These shoes have kept my feet nice and dry so far. I mainly walk on a paved/gravel surface and the support is great. I have Planars fascitis and the arch support is very nice. My only complaint is the "pull-up" tab on the back of the shoe. I was putting the shoes on and pulled on the tab and the stitching came right out, not all the way, but enough to make the tab useless to me.
All in all, a good walking boot.

I am in heavy construction and need a shoe with good ankle support!
I wear my shoes 14-16 hours a day. I find most work boots to be too heavy and without enough support. I love the way these feel and how they lock my ankle into the shoe without having to lace them too tightly. They are also very easy to get in and out of.

This shoe has been awsome, I have about 5 pairs of Keens, this boot has lasted me 3 years, the sole finally wore out in the heal. Even though a light weight hiker for moderate temps, add wool socks and a set of gaitors and go knee deep. The only problem that I have had with Keen Shoes is that they run about a half size small.

I managed an outdoor store for many years and have seen many boots. This pair and the low top version provide a very stable platform which has helped me on uneven terrain. Usually I don't drive in boots, but have no problems with these lightweight boots in that regard.
