Voyageur Hiking Shoe (Women)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a nurse on my feet all day the Voyageur was my go to shoe. Now that I am retired, I still live in them. I have a wide foot but narrow heel. The regular fit has a wider foot bed so they fit perfectly and are so comfortable. I even get compliments on them. Please don't change them!

I've been wearing this style of hiking shoe for over 15 years. They wear out very quickly even though I rotate with a second pair of shoes. They're the only ones with a slightly wider toe box, so I feel like I'm stuck. (The other Keen larger toe-box style doesn't fit my foot) So great for comfort but lousy for durability. I shouldn't have to replace two pairs of hiking shoes every year, should I? A caveat to the "botton line" question - I would recommend with the caveat that they don't last very long. If you only hike/walk six times a year, they're probably perfect for you.

I had my first pair of these for about 18 months. After about a year the soles started coming apart. However, I just bought a new pair of the exact same shoe and 1 week after purchase the soles started coming apart. I wear these 5 days a week delivering mail in a rural area. They are comfortable but I am disappointed in the new pair.

Can't find the listing for the voyageur mid boots with ankle support, but I'll leave my review here since they are similar -- they are the best hiking boots you can buy!!! I have had mine for 3 years, 300 miles of backpacking and 200ish miles of hiking. Finally retired them and just bought the same pair (photos for comparison). They have great support, are relatively light, extremely durable, pretty water resistant, and SO comfy. you will not regret buying these!!!! cannot stress how much I love these boots. My only tiny complaint is the length of laces and the eyelet for lacing up - I had the loops of my tied laces get caught a few times on the little eyelet hook of my other boot and fell or stumbled many times because of this. I rubber band the loose loops to the sole while hiking to avoid this.

So far, 3 small hikes in, these are great! I can actually feel the vented air. My toes are not cramped at all. I thought i might kick things more with my toes, but i do not. The tiny blue accents on the sole did peel off right away to reveal a light green color, but I don't really care about that. They'll get dirty and it won't matter.

I have loved the Keen Voyageur hiking boot. They are the perfect boot in every way for me. I own and currently use 3 pair. 2 pink and one blue. I use the 2 pink ones for walking/hiking and the other for yard work. I bought the blue pair specifically to use for my spinning bike. They seemed to be larger than the pink but am not using for walking so not as noticeable. They are so much bigger I could fit in an orthotic that I could not fit in the pink ones. Currently I'm retiring my yard work version and I needed to get another pair and wanted the pink but could find nowhere in my size even at Keen. So I ended up getting the blue and they are again TOO BIG!!??? They are different. This is very disappointing. I feel like Keen has been a consistent brand. I am really hoping Keen is not discontinuing and hoping they haven't changed the shoe. When looking online there are only blue ones for sale including used! No pink ones. What is going on??!!
