KEEN Women's Steens Vent Low Height Breathable

These are the most comfortable hikers EVER! I have plantar fasciitis in my left foot, along with some other painful quirks, and I have real problems finding running/walking shoes and hiking shoes that offer the right cushioning, plus support, plus a wide enough toe box. Mind you, I don't have wide feet...they're fairly average in width. But so many brands of shoes lately seem to be narrowing their toe boxes for some reason. Keens overall are always accommodating in that respect, however. And I've got to say that these Steens hikers are, hands down, the most comfortable shoes I've had on in ages. I've been wearing them nonstop since I got them because they're more comfortable than my high-end, cushy running shoes. I've walked and hiked in them, and have just worn them all day around town, and in every case, I've had them on my feet for hours and there's no place that rubs, no hot spots, and my feet aren't tired when I take them off. For me, they're true to size. I typically wear an 8 1/2 in runners and hikers, and that's what I bought in these. They just fit so well. They're perfect. I've already purchased a second pair because (and anyone else who has foot issues will understand this) when you find a shoe/boot that's magic, you stock up on it and stick to it!

I’ve been wearing these for years. I usually get a new pair every 2 years but if I hiked more it would be each year. No breaking in period. Perfect width for wider feet. Love them!

Shoes fit just right. Wearable out of the box no break-in whatsoever. Good arch support, flexible where needed, great cushioning. Water resistance is excellent. I would say waterproof. I have a VERY bad back and can’t wear just any shoe. These were a lifesaver on long vacation hikes. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Update: I've worn them for about a month now and they have contoured very nicely to my feet. They've gotten a lot of wear in the last month and are holding up nicely. The outside saw some rough country, very muddy, but they have cleaned up well. The only problem I have with them now is that they have a severe squeak (the right sole) and they came that way, it wasn't the wearing of them that caused it.. I think, and maybe it is why they were "on sale", that they were actually seconds, the sole not completely or permanently glued to the shoe... Don't know, but it is very annoying. But other then that, if I'm not walking on a tile/wood floor, the sound isn't that noticeable... Just got them and compared them to the Keens I’ve had for 5 years. Those were the second (or maybe 3rd?) pair of Keens I’ve worn. I LOVE Keen shoes because they are wide enough to fit my foot that was crushed and healed with a wide bunion. But this pair seems a tad bit longer, and a tad but narrower then my past shoes, even though their literature says they were molded on the original sizing (paraphrased). I’m going to keep them because I think (hope) they will work. They are leather sided so hopefully they will stretch.

Very comfortable. Holds up well in the ice, snow, and rain. I use these for walking and they work well.

These shoes were not comfortable right out of the box. They were very stiff and hurt my feet. I applied two coats of Neat's Foot Oil on all leather parts and left the shoes in the sun for several hours to let the oil soak in. Then, I took a mallet and hammered on the lacing anchors on each side of the lacing to soften. (The bottom lace holders dug into the top of my foot.) Other than that, the shoe has a roomy toe-box and nice arch support. I'm wearing them today and they feel much better. Time will tell how comfortable they are.

Really impressed with these Steens! I've only put in 40-50 miles so far, and there was no break in period. I've worn them during late winter/ early spring, with no hot days yet. I have wide feet and have been a Targhee wearer for years. But as I age (63) the more flexible hiking shoe is wonderful!!. They have the wide toebox like the Targhee, and I can go from road to trail easily, while putting in 4-7 miles a day on the trail with these Steens. They have just enough flexibility, and provide me more grip and confidence on gravel, loose shale, rock scrambling, and what ever else the hike hands me. I haven't seen them offer in above ankle height or waterproof, but I'm sure I couldn't afford them😃. I'll be wearing these Steen Vents for a while. Wonderful hikers!

I have always been loyal to another brand of hiking shoes but the deal on these was to good to pass up. Glad I bought them. They are very comfortable and did not need anytime to break in. Love the extra space in the toe area. Recommend.

Bonne qualité

Leider sind diese Schuhe nach 5monatigen tragen nicht mehr wasserdicht und das Innenfutter ist teilweise kaputt.Ich hatte mir vor 3 Jahren von diesem Hersteller schon mal Schuhe gekauft,mit denen ich sehr zufrieden war.Jetzt ist die Enttäuschung um so größer.

Just finished hiking with them and the shoe fits perfectly, sole and tread is very sturdy! Thoroughly like these shoes! Thanks

I love them but they are definitely not waterproof in any way.

Grandeur trop grand Lourde par contre robuste Confort moyen.
