Customer Reviews KEEN Pyrenees

These boots are really well made. I especially liked the way the boot opens up to allow for easy on-and-off. However, the toe box was much too wide for my foot, so I had to return them.

This is the second pair of these Keen boots I've owned and I wore the other ones to death. I live in the city and walk A LOT so the boots got a workout and lasted until I wore out the sole (almost 5 years). The last pair had a slightly nicer leather upper, though the quality of the leather on these is fine - just not like the older ones. The boot is very sturdy, I like the way it looks (I like boring solid color boots), and it was pretty comfortable right out of the box. I did add an insole and will have to break them in a little bit, but I felt they were comfortable right off the bat.

These boots felt great on my foot without a bunion. But my other foot, the lace eyelet sat right on top of my big toe joint/bunion. Ouch?. Hated to return, but saw no way to make it more comfortable.

I have a short wide foot and these would be perfect, except, there is not a lot of room on the top of your foot where the tongue connects. I could see it causing a pressure point on the top. They are made really well and were wide enough, even without a wide size. I was sad to send them back.

Great boots, great quality. I bought my usual size and felt like the front part was just a tad too roomy. I have a pair of Keen boots that are very similar and at least 10 years old that I am replacing. I had to try on both and compare a couple of times to make sure I wasn't imagining it, but the width was definitely enough of an issue to need to return for a size down. Wish me luck.

I will most likely be returning these shoes: they look fine and they are what one expects Keen boots to be. I find the upper part of the shoe very stiff and uncomfortable, will require breaking in.

I bought these in an 8 because I had Targhees in an 8 (usually I am 7.5, but need 8 for width). Keens are wide already, but these are supposed to run 1/2 size smaller. They felt a little bigger than my Targhees, but I think they were the right choice. I love the look of them. I got the syrup color and they came with 2 sets of laces (I bought on keen website), so that was nice. I prefer the reddish/orange laces. I want to keep them. But I dont NEED them. And I've been reading that they make your feet hot and sweaty, whereas the Targhees breath more. I got my Targhees for a trip to Ireland and they worked out great. I am going back to Ireland next year and thought I might bring these instead (because I like the color better) but after thinking about it, my Targhees are lighter by a couple ounces, and I'll be there in the summer, so will probably go with the Targhees again. But I might just keep these because I love the look. And I do live in VT so I could probably find a use for them...right??? They hurt the top of my ankle a tiny bit, but I think its just because I am not used to wearing boots so high on my ankle. if I loosen the laces its better. And I am guessing I will get used to it if I wear them more.

Given the other reviews and the reduced price, I knew I was taking a chance. So sad, but I had similar trouble as other reviewers. First, my foot was happy the moment it went into the shoe, the right shoe, anyway. When I laced the boot, however, the tongue was so thick it was hard to press into the shoe to avoid dirt, mud, or snow where I'd be going with these boots. Then, the top of the boot pinched my ankle pretty badly. If I didn't lace it snugly, the tongue would be too loose and the shoe felt sloppy. However, I believe I could have made this work with enough playing around, but then I put on the other shoe... The left shoe felt different, and my heel slipped considerably when I walked. Everything else was the same as the right boot. Despite my feet not being the exact same length and width to the millimeter, I don't have problems with pairs of shoes fitting properly from one foot to the other. The left shoe heel width difference from the right was why I had to send them back. Keens are notoriously comfortable from day one, very little break in period, but these went far beyond breaking in. First the tongue was a problem. Add that to the strange pinching around the top of the boot around the ankle (and I have average ankles, never had a problem like this ever before), and then the left shoe heel feeling much, much wider than the right boot's heel, and the shoe had too many issues to make work. Back they went, very sadly. They are very attractive, though!

too small

Rubbed around ankle - looked great and felt good otherwise, but had to return due to the ankle pain.

These are a little too heavy and unyielding for my delicate feet. Overall, fit okay, but a bit tight somewhere so my feet started hurting after wearing around the house for a bit.
