Keen Men's Voyageur Hiking Shoe

Has held up well!
May 22, 2012

Admit that I am a KEEN fanatic. The Voyageur has held up now hiking in CA, Northern MI and Colorado. Probably should have gone with the mid-height for some of the terrain to get more support. That's the problem with KEENs, they are so comfortable that you tend to take them beyond their limits. This shoe is designed for warm dry areas and breathes well. I do not wear them if it is wet and would recommend a WP KEEN shoe or boot.

So long Merrell, hello KEEN!
April 08, 2012

I just purchase these Keen Voyageur Hiking Shoes to replace my Merrell's! My Merrell's were brand new out of the box, I had been saving them till another pair of hiker's were ready for the trash bin. I was hiking with my girlfriend, who previously managed a Sporting Goods franchise, when she noticed how bad my ankles were pronating, and I was wondering why my feet were hurting. When we stopped to look at the problem we found these Merrell's had rounded heels that were built with a slight pronation already, needless to say they are back in the box and I will try to return them. I never heard of Keen before and mainly picked these hikers due to their design features with a large stable heel and the toe protector design since foot stability and toe protection is something I require for my hiking and walking needs. I am very pleased with these hikers right of the box with quality and design. You know you have a quality product when it is in your hands and these shoes have that quality. I wear a pretty standard size 9 and these shoes fit superbly! Very stable design and I love the rock kicking toe guards that seems to be the Keen trademark. Comfortable on the feet and arches, in fact I don't feel like I need to install my orthotics in them the insoles feel that great. What do I think after using them? Well I just purchased a pair of Keen Sandals and Trail Running shoes, that's how keen I feel!

Cost-effective
April 03, 2012

It is not my favorite color, Because of the high discount of this color to chose it. Very comfortable shoes to wear, and the size is just right, but the glue smell is too strong. At present, urban wear only, do not know really mountaineering effect of wearing. Anyway, well worth buying

comfortable shoe
March 23, 2012

These shoes were the most comfortable of the 4 pairs I used on the hike. Not one blister. Bought another pair just for knocking around and hiking around the home place. I did have problem with the lugs on the side of the shoes peeling off on my first pair after 2 weeks, but I finished my hike and still have the shoes. This problem did not affect anything.

Good Shoes
March 02, 2012

I like Keen shoes. I have wide metatarsus. They are comfortable and look good. But for me they are a bit narrow, stiff and require some brake in time.

Great pair of walking/hiking shoes
February 28, 2012

Very comfortable and well made. Have used them on a few outings now. I got mine 1/2 size larger and use them with upgraded insoles. They offer more protection and stability than equivalent shoes from other brands, without excessive weight. Keen's strong toe protection is a plus. The sole has strong non-slip grip, felt very stable walking over some boulders.

Great Keen

Great shoe, good fit but does run wide. Support is good for light hiking. The color is nice, it does not show the dirt or wear like brighter hiking shoes do. Would buy again!

Great Shoe

And equally great service from Altrec. This style is another perfect Keen fit for me and very comfortable. Let's hope the glue holds (work that out, Keen).

Men's Voyageur Hiking Shoe
November 22, 2011

This was actually a gift to our son, who wears a size 16 shoe. It was a Christmas gift, but we wanted to make sure they fit so I had him try them on. He didn't want to take them off. He is a janitor at a local school and is on his feet all day. He wore them a full day (obviously he got his gift early) and indicated the shoes felt great from the moment he put them on. The sizing was exact and obviously the comfort was superb. Our son is 6'8" and weighs about 250 so wearing a comfortable shoe right out of the box was unusual for him. He has trouble with his ankles - but these shoes were a great support for those as well! I would definitely recommend them to anyone!

Best Shoe I've Ever Own
September 07, 2011

I did know what to expect when order this pair of shoe. Upon delivered, I put on the shoe on and did not take it off until time to go to bed. It was so comfortable.

Nice shoe, but not for heavy wear
July 25, 2011

I am a construction worker and I am hard on my shoes. I was hoping that Keen shoes would work for me since my 11 year old boy has had good luck with his Keens lasting for him. I purchased my shoes in March (during lacrosse season) and by Late June the sole had started to come unglued on the edges. I was bummed because the shoes are very comfortable and look great. Since then, all around the sole has started to delaminate and I have been forced to return them. I have read good things about the Cat work shoes and will try them next.

Great all around boots!
June 28, 2011

Overall, I am quite impressed with the quality of these boots. Keen makes a darn good shoe! I have high standards for hiking boots, and these surpass them. The toe/heel molded sole provides great grip and improved resilience. Many shoes begin to separate at the toe after a while. I have hiked for miles and miles in these and haven't lost a stitch. A+

Best Shoes I've Ever Bought
June 22, 2011

I just bought my third pair of Voyageurs *(second in the Olive color) to replace the first ones that I finally relegated to yard work because they were just too beat up after 2 years of almost daily hard wear. These were the first shoes I've ever been able to put on out-of-the box, and wear all day for the next four days. I only took them off to put on one of my 11 other pairs of Keen shoes or sandals. Rugged, cool, cool looking, and incredibly comfortable. My next pair will the the Keen Siskiyous for a little change!

Best trail shoes ever!!!
June 19, 2011

I bought these shoes because I read a few websites where it had won awards for 'best trail shoe', so I thought I'd give it a try. I LOVE THEM! They fit great right out of the box, were cool in this HOT Georgia summer, and were every bit as sturdy as the Merrills I've had for the past year. I also really like the tough mesh vents in the side that allows the foot to stay cool, and also the hard rubber soles that extend up well over the toes to protect the foot from harsh trail hazards. Fit like a glove, and are everything I wanted in a trail shoe! Also versatile, can wear them to the gym as crosstrainers, then segue right to the trail for a hearty jaunt. Without a doubt, will wear these out then promptly buy another pair.

Keen is excellent
June 10, 2011

When I saw the keen´s shoes in internet I thought "finally I found one of the best shoes" unfortunately I live in Peru and in my country don´t sell Keens. When my friend bought my Voyageur hiking shoes in USA and them gave me the shoes in Perú I can´t believed the wonderful shoes I had. They are confortables, have best desing and are durables.

Great Shoes
June 09, 2011

I suffer from severe foot pain most of the time. Keen shoes have usually provided me some relief. With these shoes, I noticed the difference almost immediately. Shoes fit great, with arch support. True fit to the size, so I would order your normal shoe size. I think I will order another pair.

Comfy shoes
June 01, 2011

I've had the shoes for a while now and can recommend them to others. Very comfortable and stylish. I use them for hiking and everyday wear. Would buy another pair.

Awesome shoes
May 30, 2011

I absolutely love these shoes and am very happy with my purchase. Before I ordered them I was looking for a low cut hiking shoe that looks good, wasn't too flashy (to avoid looking too much like an American in Europe), breathes well in the heat, and would comfortably fit my flat feet that severly overpronate. Took a chance on these Keen shoes - had never heard of Keen or even tried a pair on before. Just got back from a trip to Europe, and these shoes performed perfectly on everything from hiking through Ephesus to walking the beaches of Greece. My feet never hurt or ached once, they never smelled at the end of a long day, and they really do look great. Highly recommended.

Best Purchase Online
April 29, 2011

received these shoes, just as ordered. size 14 fits perfect, true to size. didn't need any breakin, comfortable the minute I put them on. Would definitely recommend, and consider buying more keen products because of these.

keen's very best
April 27, 2011

I bought 3 pair of the Keen Voyager for my husband who had 2 back surgeries. They give great support for his back, legs and disposition... especially for someone who stands on concrete all day. He loves the fact that he doesn't have to "break them in" and that makes him a happy camper, worker,hiker and husband!

Fit & Feel GREAT
April 26, 2011

I am not an avid hiker; however, I do a lot of walking and I am on my feet quite a bit. I put these on in the morning and don't take them off until late afternoon - no more aching feet when my shoes are removed. These shoes are so comfortable I am ordering another pair.

Second Pair -- Great!
April 19, 2011

I travel worldwide in my work. Having shoes for various uses is important. These Keen Voyagers are great. Lightweight, comfortable, durable and attractive (for this type of shoe). I bought this pair as a replacement for my first pair of Keen Voyagers that I have basically worn out. I have no idea how many miles I have walked in the first pair, but a bunch! The cloth lining inside the heel area has become ragged and worn, and the outside edges of the soles had worn down to where walking long distances in them became uncomfortable. Still, the uppers and appearance were almost like the day I bought them. I'm 5'9", 197 lbs. I think this new pair feels slightly larger than the old pair although they are marked the same (US size 11). I think these are wonderful shoes, but I'd prefer the soles were a bit tougher and wear down less rapidly...but that's just me. I'm pretty tough on shoes. I highly endorse and recommend these.

Good, supportive, comfortable shoe
April 01, 2011

I bought these shoes to replace another pair I'd had for three years. They are very comfortable right out of the box. The support they give my ankles/arches is exceptional. I've experienced plantar fascitis and these shoes have helped immensely. I can wear them all day without getting tired achey feet.

Great Walking Shoe
March 30, 2011

I bought these for my husband who has issues finding comfortable shoes for his feet. He is very picky, but absolutely loved these shoes right out of the box! I ordered his usual size and the fit was great, maybe SLIGHTLY larger. We tried the sandals and he loved those too!

Great hiking shoe
March 28, 2011

I have enjoyed wearing these on hikes and in town. Good support and breathability. This shoe leans more towards a hiking boot and less towards trail running shoe. I ordered a 12 (what I usually wear) but could have ordered 11.5 - little roomy. Will definitely buy more Keens.

Comfort and Support
March 14, 2011

I have been using these shoes for ridge hiking and walking for several months and really like their comfort and sturdy support. They are great for flat feet and plantar fasciities problems. Also, the extra room in the toe prevents pinching on the steep down hill hikes. The wear life on the soles appears to be good so far.

Keen's
March 01, 2011

I have never owned a pair of Keen shoes of any kind, but after trying these, they certainly won't be my last. They are very comfortable with support and stability at the same time. The sole pattern is very aggressive for traction in outdoor conditions, but works perfectly on flat surfaces as well. Also the fast service that you receive from the folks at Altrec.com can't be beat.

Great Shoes
February 28, 2011

This is the forth pair of Keen shoes I have purchased from Altrec. I used to have problems with my feet, but since I started using Keen shoes, the problems have gone away. I can walk miles and miles with no pain. Really great arch support. I just wish the Austin shoes would last a bit longer. I have not had the Voyageur shoes long enough to see how they hold up.

Great Shoes
February 19, 2011

Bought these shoes for a ski trip I'm taking out West, but have already started wearing them. Very comfortable and durable ... good for outdoor activities, but I can also wear them out for a casual dinner. They are the only shoes I'll take on my ski vacation because of their versitility.

Great Shoes
February 03, 2011

I used to not get excited about shows until I bought this pair, my first Keens, 3 years ago. They finally wore down after many camps, hikes and workouts, so I bought this exact replacement. Amazingly durable and comfortable. I love Keen's adequate toe box for my size 14 feet!! Very supportive and tough shoes, and I am pretty tough on shoes.

My 2nd Pair of these shoes
February 01, 2011

I bought my first pair and liked them so much that i decided to get another pair to wear with my jeans or running around town. I hike almost daily with my 2 dogs around the lake with these and have never had a blister or any feet problems at all, and I usually have lots of blisters with boots. these were perfect right out of the box with no break in time required. Buy these shoes if you need a great pair of hot weather shoes.

Great hiking shoe
January 27, 2011

I've worn these shoes a few times, to break them in before taking a long day hike. Very comfortable, good support for a low hiking shoe. The size I have (11) seems very slightly larger than another pair of size-11 Keens I own. The tongue is sewn into the shoe - very handy. On the day hike the soles provided good traction on varied terrain. The shoes breathe well; my feet were not overheated. I have not worn them in the rain for long periods of time, thus I can't speak to their water resistance. However, I did not shop specifically for a water proof shoe - only Keen hikers (I really like the wide toe box for Keens).

Over-rated?
January 18, 2011

I found these hiking shoes to be far too heavy and far too stiff for a trail shoe that isn't waterproof nor equipped with a Vibram sole. For this kind of weight, you're probably better off with a boot. Keen whiffed on this one, in my opinion.

wonderful shoes
December 22, 2010

I am extremely happy with my Keen Voyageur Hiking Shoes. They are what I was looking for all along. I recommend them to everyone who wants comfortable and stylish shoes.

The all season shoe
December 08, 2010

I guess that these are the best pair of shoes I ever brought back to the very changing climate of Denmark. I've had mine for more than a year now and wear then basically every week - all seasons. They make for good casual shoes in the summer and seems ok breathable but can also sustain the rainy and frosty climate when I ride my bicycle to work at winter. I have not treated them well but they stand up and stand out fine anyway.

Another Great Shoe From Keene
December 05, 2010

I purchased this most recent pair for my employee as a Hanukkah/Christmas Gift. He loves them! Actually got teary when I gave them to him. The fit, comfort, support are outstanding. He said it had been a while since he had new shoes and that these feel GREAT! Now, we each have a pair of Keene shoes. They are the best!

Another Keen's Great Design
November 17, 2010

I purchased these for my boyfriend for trail hiking in the Angeles mountains. He usually wears a 10.5 size shoe but opted to get the 11 size in these and they fit well. He is pleased with the design, comfort, and style of the shoe. When we received the order, we were surprised to find that the color we ordered was not the color in the box. After a couple of calls, we were told by the sales rep that the Black Olive/Inca Gold option was an older discontinued version. We are disappointed to see that the Black Olive/Inca Gold option is still on the website because the actual color is dark brown with orange stripes.

Favorite
November 10, 2010

These are my favorite light hikers: very comfortable, excellent support, and great ventilation. I would note, however, that about a year ago the sizing appeared to change on these chooses. The sizes used to run very small, but they're now more in line with other shoes.

Great for wide feet
October 22, 2010

Very high-quality, very comfortable shoe, and great for wide feet. This is the kind of satisfaction I've come to expect from Keen. My only issue is the the heel is bit loose on me. That often happens on wide-footed people; we find a shoe wide enough to accommodate our feet, but it's a little too wide in the heel. I'm hoping I'll be able to tighten the laces a bit after they're more broken in, which will help alleviate the problem.

Wow.
October 03, 2010

I will start by saying that I tried the Targhee first and found the tongue was hurting the top of my foot a bit so I tried this Voyageur instead and am completely happy with the shoes. They are very comfortable and I wear them with pants or shorts and they look great. The Deep Lichen color is great...did not think I would like it at first but it is really great looking. I think everyone needs a pair of these !!! Also, true to size.
