About this deal

We found the Ridge Flex Mid WP to be a good overall boot that was comfortable and roomy, though it did not excel in any one metric.

On test: Keen Ridge Flex Waterproof Hiking Boots reviewed

Of course it’ll allow you to do a bit of rock hopping without tipping you onto your head, but it doesn’t have the stiffer sole or stickier rubber that you would expect from a specialist scrambling/mountaineering boot. He has lived in Alaska for many years where he has worked in many roles including more than 6 years as an Emergency Manager helping coordinate Federal and local responses and damage assessment in more than 30 disasters. Although the panels are obvious from the outside, there’s no sensation of anything being different on the inside. They’re great for all but steep snow and ice (I’ve worn them on gentler snow slopes, and you can fit microspikes to them) and suitable for year-round use if your feet don’t overheat in summer. I guess they do save some energy, like all flexible lightweight footwear, though how much I can’t say.RECOMMENDED: This product has been awarded our ‘Recommended’ endorsement, meaning our reviewer believes it is a strong product which works well for its intended purpose. The boots are lined with Keen’s proprietary waterproof/breathable membrane and have a pesticide-free Eco Anti-Odour treatment. No matter which pair you go with, the contoured heel lock system lets you adjust the heel so you can find that perfect level of stability and control as you descend the steeps. But in the ongoing quest for even greater walking comfort, KEEN have come up with some all new footwear technology. This was 100% my fault for trying to climb on a slope covered in mud and wet lichen in pursuit of an Arctic Ground Squirrel in late August.

It’s not every day that a boot comes along that’s agile enough to make steep terrain more manageable yet rugged enough to stand up to miles of loose, sharp shale.

We wore these boots on several rigorous hikes, including an early-season trek into the still snowy Sierra Nevada. The lacing uses Keen’s Speed Lace system, which allows the laces to pass freely through the three bottom pairs of webbing loops before locking them in the top two pairs of metal hooks.

The roomy toe box that Keen are known for seems to suit a lot of people, and their chunky designs constructed from a mix of leather, rubber and synthetic materials means that both your feet and the boots themselves are protected from knocks and scraps on rocky or uneven trails.Flex technology that features on the Ridge Flex and its sibling, the Tempo Flex, came as a result of Keen’s desire to make a boot that enables the user to use less energy when walking. I had some experience with Keen boots in the past and knew of the quality of their other waterproof boots.

Recently, the very hot weather having vanished in thunderstorms and torrential rain, I’ve worn them again and not found them too warm in temperatures up to 15°C, which I reckon is my limit for comfort – my feet do run hot – in any footwear with a waterproof/breathable membrane.Firstly, by making these areas predisposed to bending, less force and therefore less energy is required to make the boots bend in these places, making each step feel easier. FREEZE rubber outsole designed for cold-weather conditions, this rugged high-top boot keeps your toes toasty and dry with lightweight KEEN. This is one of the reasons I chose the Keen Ridge Flex boot in the spring of 2021 and began my adventures. ALL-TERRAIN rubber outsole as the Targhee III boot, this version adds mesh vents to the upper creating a breathable design that keeps the air flowing. Over the last 14 months I have been testing the Keen Ridge Flex Boot on my photographic adventure around Alaska and in my daily life.
