KEEN Men's Voyageur Mid Height Breathable Hiking Boots - Lightweight Waterproof Outdoor Shoes for Trail Walking & Camping Adventures

I just received the boots in the mail. That is why I have only given them a 4 star rating. I will say immediately they feel comfortable, but my big thing is how they hold up. As of right now upon initial inspection they seem to be of good quality, and seem to be of good materials. The product was shipped immediately and actually arrived a day early. The company shipped to Iraq with no problems. I am currently deployed here, that is the reason for the boots, I feel I will be enjoying these boots greatly. I feel I made a good choice, and think they will work just fine. My partner has the Keen Dry boot variant similar to this one that made it through an entire deployment through hills of Afghanistan. That is why I went with Keen. So far so good!! Thanks Keen and Amazon.Well, continued of my previous comment. Thanks to Keen, but no thanks to Amazon! I had some issues with the boot that I had to go to directly to Keen for because Amazon did not want to help me out. I needed them exchanged and I had purchased the product while I was in Iraq. I had since returned to the states and was no longer at the Iraq address. Amazon would not exchange it, because it was not going to the Iraq address, but I had stressed to them that my billing address was the same as the address I needed the replacements sent to. They still said no. Thank goodness to the good customer service of KEEN, but not for AMAZON. I would give AMAZON one star, and KEEN 5 stars.If you are a Florida hiker you don't need these - crossfits are fine. We don't go far and except for an occasional levy we have no elevation at all.You could easily spend a week out with a full summer pack anytime of the year in KEEN sandals.So why use these in Florida?First, better support so you'll feel better after a day in them. KEEN sandal support is exceptional but these are even better with ankle support as well.Second, they dry quickly - no waterproofing except what KEEN does to their leather so they breathe extremely well. We say Florida soil is well-drained and so these would be appropriate as unofficial state boots.Third, the unique KEEN toe is very wide so very comfortable, and the way KEEN leather - which never expands - fits your foot like vines growing up from the soles (note this is visible in the pics) you'll feel like they're form-fitted.On the downside there appears to be more than a few reviews where souls separated. This hasn't happened to me but the special leather treatment might make gluing difficult. There's always something off about the look of KEEN seams... a ripple in the leather or some glue issues. I have not had problems yet and many of those reviews are 4 or 5 stars anyway, so for the advantages I think it is worth the risk.Still a 5 star fit for me! The KEEN fit is like walking in mink.Excelente
