Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"The Keen Men's Voyageur Hiking Shoes are jeeps for your feet. The Voyageurs love dropping into low gear for gnarly terrain, and mesh windows let their passengers breathe on warm summer days. Aggressive four-millimeter outsole lugs grip rock, sand, mud, and scree. Dual-density EVA midsoles make the ride plush. These Keen shoes don't need roll bars, but the S3 Heel Support Structures help prevent your ankles from rolling, and ESS shanks provide torsional stability on uneven terrain. Bumpers on the Voyageurs protect the occupants' toes from ouch-inducing hazards."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"The comfort and support of a hiking shoe with the breathability and quick-dry capabilities of a running shoe, the Keen Voyageur for Men is a rugged cruiser that keeps your feet ventilated and happy. Built with Keen's bomber toe protection, a torsion stability shank and multi-directional lugs for great traction, your Voyageurs can take you anywhere your legs will follow."

From REI:
"Like its cousin, Targhee, these Keen Voyageur hiking shoes offer the same 4-wheel drive traction and stability minus the waterproof barrier. Leather uppers with polyester mesh ventilation windows offer durability, flexibility and breathability for comfort on the go. Polyester linings wick moisture away from your feet and dry quickly to keep feet comfortable and dry. Secure-fit lace capture system with sturdy leather eyelets and heel wrap help lock feet to footbeds for increased support. Webbing pull loops at heel and tongue allow easy entry/exit; padded, gusseted tongues keep out debris and moisture while relieving lace pressure. Patented rubber toe bumpers protect feet and uppers from bumps and abrasion. Removable Metatomical EVA footbeds are custom shaped to provide ample cushioning and arch support; can also accommodate orthotics. Compression-molded EVA midsoles offer shock-absorption and padding for all-day comfort. Supportive ESS plastic shanks provide torsional stability and protection from uneven and rocky terrain. S3 (shock, suspension, stability) heel support structure supports the feet on impact, dissipates shock and reduces the chance of twisting an ankle. Nonmarking carbon rubber outsoles with aggressive 4mm multidirectional lugs for long-wearing durability and superb terrain bite."

From EMS:
"Highly ventilated with mesh panels, the Keen Voyageur is ideal for hot summer day hikes. Great traction and stability. Dual-density compression-molded EVA midsole for cushioned comfort. S3 heel supports the foot on impact, dissipates shock, provides stability. ESS shank provides torsional stability for a secure ride. 4 mm multidirectional lugs bite into the terrain, providing excellent traction. Upper made of durable leather and breathable mesh. Removable metatomical footbed cradles the foot, provides excellent arch support. Patented toe bumpers protect feet from rough, rocky trails; reduce abrasion on uppers. Nonmarking carbon rubber outsole for traction and durable wear."

"I've been a Keen fan for several years now and love their comfort but my Voyagers have let me down as the soles have worn out. In less than 6 months of light duty daily wear the lugs under the ball of the foot have worn through revealing they are actually hollow - not solid rubber."

"I would only recommend these boots to someone who has clapped their old boots together over my head at 3am.

After wearing out my previous boots on the AT, I followed a salesman’s recommendation that these boots were just as good as my previous boots with the added benefit of a wider toe-box."

"This is a really good shoe. My backpacking trips have been taking me through more and more stream crossings. With that, I was getting quite tired of taking my boots off and suspending them from my neck as I waded to the other side. I was looking for a shoe that would let me do the stream crossing and then drain well enough to dry out during the rest of the hike."
