I bought these hikers after reading the reviews here. I was looking for a lightweight waterproof day hiker. I required a wide toe box and these were one of the few that fit the bill for me. The terrain I predominantly use is hilly upland forest, cedar bush and farm field.

These boots have met my expectations nicely. I did have concerns about the toe piece delaminating but that has not been a problem and I have worn these boots almost daily now for about 10 months.

They are not heavy or "klunky" feeling. The tread has a good grip good on the surfaces I travel.

There is no sign of stitching coming loose or significant "hot spots" of wear.

I'll probably buy a second pair in the fall before Keen comes out with a new model and, as all shoe manufactures like to do, change something in the shoe to improve it but instead ruin it.

The real test for this shoe will be next month when I'll be hiking in Jasper...but I have no doubt it will perform well.

I highly recommend this boot.
