I've always liked the fit and durability of the keens boots. Prior I have bought mens as I have wide feet but I found these and was impressed they accommodated my wide feet. I've had these boots since March 2021 and have had to glue the bottoms back on twice. I'm very disappointed that the black textured rubber on the bottom shoe basically falls off in strips and no heavy duty glue will make it stay. It was after about 30 miles on them I noticed the rubber coming off and other pieces pocketing trapping debris. To add to my displeasure the "bellows" are nosey and the over all cushion of the foot bed wanes overtime to become uncomfortable. I'm not easy on my boots and living in the back country of the UP isn't doesn't help but I expected them to last longer and be ... MoreI've always liked the fit and durability of the keens boots.

Since boots are a very personal and subjective topic, I’ll start with my preferences: I have a fairly typical foot, quite reliably a W8 and average width. I usually like to hike in a lowcut boot with a fairly stiff sole and walk lowland or urban park trails in a lighter weight, more flexible trail shoe that is not quite a running shoe. The Keen, therefore, was something different for me. I should also add that I have worn Keen water sandals for years.True to Keen, the toe box is wide though I did not find there to be any slipping because the instep of the boot is secure and can be snugly laced without being too tight and uncomfortable. One caveat: There is extra material where the tongue is attached to the boot creating a bump that has the potential to rub one’s ...

One caveat: There is extra material where the tongue is attached to the boot creating a bump that has the potential to rub one’s foot. I only had this issue on my right foot. The heel cup wrapped nicely around my heel making it comfortable and secure. The padding around the upper ankle is ample for plenty of comfort while still providing a stiff enough upper for reliable support.What I liked: I was surprised how much I enjoyed the mid-height boot. The difference in ankle support from lowcut shoes was substantial. My feet stayed warm and dry in plenty of mud, puddles and shallow creeks. The boots were also easy to clean. The sole gripped well on rocks and logs.What I wanted more of: Uphill traction on mud was decent, but I would appreciate more traction on muddy slopes particularly when hiking downhill. I often wanted additional support under the ball of my foot especially on rocky trails or when carrying a heavier pack.My biggest technical complaint was that the laces were too short and repeatedly popped out of the uppermost lace hooks. I was able to solve this problem by skipping the lower pair of lace hooks when lacing up. This is a small, easily correctable problem but something I wouldn’t expect to have to worry about at this price point.What I’m not sure about: How well the plastic baffle “Bellows flex” will wear over time. It is true that there is no break-in time needed for this boot, but rarely do I find boots in this class needing much breaking in anyway. I worry the rubber will crack over time.Overall: This is a comfortable boot that I found fun and easy to wear for urban parks and our Puget Sound lowland’s wet, muddy trails in the winter. I also recommend it for the beach and clambering on logs. But I’d opt for a boot with a more substantial sole on longer hikes or more challenging terrain.

I bought these boots last fall for walking the dog. There was no break in time required and they provided lots of stability. Aside from the ugliness of the bellows, they performed well and my feet stayed dry. Until now. The bellows on both boots have cracked and separated from the body of the boot and my feet are now wet everyday from just dew on the grass. They have not been used in extreme hiking conditions, yet they barely lasted a year. Don't buy these! Keen is a great brand, but the bellows are a flop and a waste of money.

These boots are very light and comfortable with good arch support. I went up1/2 size and wish I didn’t as after 4 miles there was some rubbing. Glad I had a band-aide for the 4 miles back. I will tie them tighter and wear thicker socks. I like the flex feature across the top of the foot and that there are truly waterproof. Hiking the Annapurna Circuit this fall and think these will be perfect.I bought the Terradora Flex also, while these are specifically designed for women, they were not as comfortable as the Timberwolf Flex. No arch support.
I purchased these at the end of Aug/ start of Sept 23 for a 10 day hiking trip in the Flinders Ranges. After the 10 days, the bottom was ripped to shreds, half of the grip knobby bits had come off. Was hoping to use them on an upcoming trip but when tested out, they no longer have sufficient grip, especially on wet rocks. Pretty disappointed to have to buy another pair already when I've barely worn these ones! They are comfortable enough otherwise with good ankle support.
I have been a carpenter for 25 years, have worn many different sorts of boots to find comfortable foot wear. I am beyond thrilled with the Ridge Flex boot.1st they are incredibly light weight2nd they are water proof3rd I feel as if I am walking on air.I purchased my first pair and loved them on my motorcycle as they protect my feet, yet if we get off and go hiking around, my feet are comfy.I bought a 2nd pair for my new job, I am working in a hospital environment, I do up to 7 miles some days, other days I am standing in one spot for hours at a time. Love, love, love these boots.Also convinced my husband to buy a pair and he is also amazed at the comfort level of this style!!!
This is my 2nd pair of these expensive boots. I like the ridge flex concept and the wider toe box because the design is great for my morton's neuroma issues with my toes. Unfortunately, each pair lasted about 250 miles of rugged hiking. With this latest pair, a bottom cross piece of the shoe ripped out during a hike. I had to duct tape it back on to finish the hike. In addition the side pieces of the sole have frayed. I realize that I've put a lot of miles on these boots, but usually what has happened on my other boots (different brand) is that the lugs got worn down so that they didn't grip sufficiently. These Keen Ridgeflex seem to just fall apart. I feel that the construction is very poor.
Been hiking in Keens for years because you could always take the quality for granted as a given and they fit the best of all brands. Got these to replace the PERFECT original Terradora mids that finally gave out after being underwhelmed by the Terradora 2 switch from leather to mesh.What a disappointment. They will be returned to the outfitter I bought them from. You have to wonder if Keen reads the increasing number of reviews complaining about the decline in quality across the board. In this case the fit was meh - adequate, whereas the original Terradoras fit perfectly from day 1. The reason for the return though is the penny-wise, pound-foolish decision to replace the top two hooks with plastic vs the metal hooks they've used in the past. At least FIVE other ...

At least FIVE other reviews mention the maddeningly tight opening making lacing a frustrating chore. If they were metal I could pry them open a tiny bit making this an acceptable purchase.Here's an idea: instead of putting out inferior products, just go back to making what you used to do right. Ridiculous decisions made by people who apparently don't try their own products before marketing them is the way to lose lifelong customers.
These look much worse/more aged IRL than in the photos. I bought these to replace a 9 year old pair of Keen's hiking boots that still work but just look ancient because they are my daily shoe (ankle support!) and I'm moving to a new country and want to look a little nicer and though these look cleaner, they barely look any newer. :\ I literally thought I had accidentally ordered used shoes when I opened the box and had to go check the website to confirm, but no, they really are new. The stitching has a few error-looking bits and the edging looks frayed. I'm super disappointed. If they had only looked as aged as they do in the photos, it would have been okay.But if you don't care what they look like, then these are fine. It's all just cosmetic issues as far as I can ...

I've learned that a great boot is imperative in the field- it can make or break your hike. I've destroyed countless pairs of boots in a matter of a few months- before i got a pair of keens. They are the only pair of boots that can withstand the outdoors. I recommend keens to all of my biologist friends. perfectly waterproof, the flex seems to be a key factor in how these boots survive constant bending. and, they are PFAS free!I have a pair of keen sandals and boots in 8 & 1/2 (US) and i ordered the same size in these and they ran pretty large. had to send them back for an 8 and possibly could have gone with a 7 & 1/2 even. these run large for some reason.
