Men's, Circadia Mid Waterproof Hiking Boot

Writing this review at point of failure. Use: Land surveying in Upstate NY 5 days a week, 8 hours a day. Dirt, mud, fields, steep hills of mixed material, woods etc. Bought these roughly 6 months ago. Have always been recommended Keen. I was very impressed with the fit of these boots. They are by far the most comfortable boots I’ve worn. I’ve owned many other brands (timberland, merrell, 5.11 etc). They truly feel solid, but give you great range of movement when needed and support. Tons of room in the toe box area, which is much appreciated. Worked well in the wet and recently failed because I kept running them through snow many times (1”-2’). They have gone through tons of abuse. I would say, if you are a hiker or work in a less harsh environment, these will last you years, and you will love them. I will be replacing these with a better tailored to my use case pair of Keens.

As a master electrician and electrical inspector, I need footwear that’s durable, reliable, and comfortable enough to wear all day—on the job and off. The KEEN Circadia Mid Height Waterproof Boots were a wonderful buy. These boots are built strong, with obvious attention to quality and long-term wear. The waterproofing is solid, which is important for job sites that aren’t always dry or clean. The ankle support and traction are excellent—whether I’m navigating construction sites, climbing ladders, or walking long distances for inspections. And they clean up well, too. What I really appreciate is the versatile style. They don’t just work for the field—they look good enough for casual wear, and the comfort is there for long hours on your feet. It’s a boot that truly fits my lifestyle, professionally and personally. If you’re in the trades or just want a boot that holds up to real work while still looking good, I highly recommend these.

Although the sole appears to be of a more natural toe box shape, the design of the upper makes this boot fit like any other conventional boot. Even in a wide size my big toes feel crowded. The sole also feels uncomfortably hard when walking on paved surfaces. My Columbias have a softer sole and the upper is more forgiving in a wide size in my big toes. Also, after about a month of wearing, the rubber toe trim on the upper is cracking. Update: The soles are too stiff and hard to be comfortable for any type of walking including hiking on rocky terrain. The design that's meant to protect toes is what hurts my toes the most. Update: After 5 weeks of daily use, the soles are starting to separate from the upper and the front of the toe box has cracked more (looks dry rotted). I don't know if maybe I'm not heavy enough for these boots but the soles are unbearable stiff and hard. The offer no cushion effect and the thickness of the heels causes discomfort to my Achilles tendon every time my feet strike the ground. Update: After 4 months of use, the soles have separated from the upper in the toe area and the upper material in the toe area is disintegrated.

I bought these boots for my son less than 6 months ago. He walks at least 3 miles a day, 6 days a week (besides Saturday to observe the Sabbath and rest). He tends to do most of his walking in the morning through various parks in the neighborhood. At times, he walks through wet grass, mud, and hills. They was a lot he liked about the shoe. The shoe size was just right for his feet. The interior of the boots remained intact over time. The cushioning was great initially, and wore down naturally like any other shoe. He was able to walk the hills with sound traction. On the negative side, I am not really sure about the waterproof claim. After less than 6 months of wear-and-tear, they have really fallen apart. The white stuffing is visible and the entire sole of the shoe are few more walks from completely coming off. All in all, I think the photos speak for themselves. It is noteworthy that it has not rained very much the last 6 months. It has been a favorably warm summer. Overall, he liked the boots. They were comfortable for him to wear at first. Now, they are not longer viable. So, I would recommend these boots for individuals that do not really engage with water.

I bought them to replace a pair of the same because of the great quality and comfort of the first pair I had. I wear them hiking of hills and rocky areas and have had nothing but good to say about them.

1 year later they are still waterproof and comfortable. They have stayed together as well. No issues

Very comfortable I only wear them at work and they started to fall apart after about a year. They also squeak every step I make sounds like I’m stepping on snow when i walk and can get tedious to listen to. Very very warm but I wouldn’t buy them again due to the issues mentioned. Size was perfect

I like these boots very comfortable and good quality. appears to be well made.

Lieferung erfolgte schnell. Bei der Anprobe einen direkten Aha-Effekt erlebt. Ich komme wunderbar rein ohne Quälerei. Passen perfekt in Größe und Passform. Nirgendwo stoße ich an und nichts drückt. Das Laufen ist wie auf Butter. Und ich finde, sie sehen wirklich scharf aus. Bin seit Ewigkeiten mit ECCO Trekking Schuhen unterwegs und habe quasi ein Experiment gewagt, mit dem Markenwechsel. Bin in keinster Weise enttäuscht und total überzeugt. Die Haltbarkeit wird sich zeigen aber der qualitative Eindruck ist 1 A. Kann nur eine klare Kaufempfehlung abgeben.

Ich habe Keenprodukte schon vor Zeiten jahrelang getragen, weil sie mir optimal passen und sie relativ lange hielten. Ich habe den Schuhen nichts geschenkt. Zwischenzeitlich habe ich dann abgebrochen, weil die Produktpalette verändert wurde und ich mit den Sohlenexperimenten, diesem ganzen Profilgeraffel unzufrieden war und die Verklebungen an den Seiten oft genug den Geist aufgaben. Der Targhee war da so ein Spezialist, an dem diese Profilnasen seitlich abgerissen sind. Dieser Schuh hier sieht vom Sohlenprofil nicht so abenteuerlich aus, verspricht aber zumindest optisch wieder eine längerer Lebensdauer. Mal sehen. Grundsätzlich hoffe ich, daß er an vergangene Qualitäten anknüpft. Ich werde zu gegebener Zeit berichten.

Ordered on april 20th 2023 and after barely 2 months of very light use, the right shoe's sole comes off. This is not the quality I expected of Keen Footwear. From my past experience Keen shoes can handle long and rough usage, but I am just "running these in" for my upcoming holiday hikes...

La entresuela tiene el punto medio justo entre suavidad y dureza para caminar sin que se te cansen los pies o sin sentir las rocas. Probadas en senderos secos de terracería y bosque, en caminatas cortas de 4-6 km, la suela tenía buen agarre. Quedan por probar en senderos lodosos.

Muito boas e correspondem ao esperado
