KEEN Men's Circadia Mid Waterproof Hiking Boots

Product Information

To conclude, the boot may have enough good points, but we believe that the quality of the sole might render consumers unsatisfied. I love Keen's wide toe boxes, which protect your toes and let them splay out naturally on the trail. This boot's soft, nubuck leather uppers break in quickly and provide (a little) more ankle protection than the shoe-cut Targhee Low (see below).

Having worked for both the Ramblers and the Scouts, he knows one or two things about walking and camping, and loves all things adventure, particularly long-distance backpacking, wild camping and climbing mountains – especially in Wales. If this site hooked you up, please consider hooking me up, too, by purchasing your hiking boots or shoes through these links! KEEN incorporates their innovative LuftCore technology into the Circadia boots, providing superior cushioning and support.The EVA foam feels cushy underfoot, and the roomy fit doesn't pinch people's feet or crimp their toes. DRY waterproof, breathable membrane, feet are kept dry on the move, with KEEN LuftCore technology embedding a lightweight foam core inside the midsole to absorb shock and deliver all-day comfort on the trail.

While these aren’t the most aggressive lugs, the boot’s chunky design still puts plenty of rubber in contact with the ground. That’s because, as mentioned, they lack the stiffness and precision to tackle more technical terrain. Driven by a passion for life outside, KEEN is a values-led, independently owned brand from Portland, Oregon, that’s on a mission to create original and versatile products, improve lives, and inspire outside adventure. Overall, KEEN is great brand for sport sandals, comfortable work boots, and performance casual shoes—and a pretty good brand for hiking boots and hiking shoes.Grip was generally good, though I stuck to safer ground rather than testing these boots beyond their limits. This design allows for excellent grip on both wet and dry surfaces, giving you the confidence to tackle any trail.
