Pyrenees Waterproof Hiking Boot (Women)

I’ve had one other pair of KEEN boots and have also done lots of hiking and exploring in other brands. I wanted a classic leather boot for extra support and weather protection and this hit every single mark. Incredibly, they required no breaking in. I took them on a four day camping and hiking trip and put about 25-30 miles in them straight out of the box - so comfy! Great traction. And a great looking boot if you’re using for a travel shoe where you’ll do lots of on and off path exploring. I can see these being a go to for national parks trips, trips to Iceland or Scotland and the like, etc.

I bought these 6 months ago to replace my 10 year-old Pyrenees. They are comfortable and keep my feet warm and dry, but the sole is already separating. I'm so disappointed! These are not nearly the quality of my 10 year old made-in-America pair which I have pushed hard and still wear nearly everyday.

I always regret returning anything. Especially since NORDY generously has free, return shipping. If you have ever sewn anything, you would know that the stitching where the upper of the boot meets the sole is not done properly in Keenes India factory.. Unfortunately, Keenes did not instruct the factory personnel on how to stretch the leather and stitch on the sole. I wore them in the house for 30 minutes both left and right puckered. In this short time, it was clear that the puckering would cause pain in future.. the right defective stitching already achieved pain. So sorry NORDY - please send these back to Keene. Thank you for your generous shipping.! Photos show leather puckered at the seam. My 12 year-old Italian boots are not puckered, they have a smoothly curving stitch-line and the leather has never puckered..

I broke the shoes in on two trips through a park. I felt it was sufficient enough to take it to a 5 mile sandy loop with 150 feet elevation gain. My toes have blisters I've had to tape for two days now. My knee is tender, my feet are so sore. I own two pairs of Keen slides, and a pair of sandals. I rave about the comfort. But the boots run small in the toe box. I'm not confident in wearing it again. Which is unfortunate, they're not cheap. Really sad about this because I've been eyeing this Keen pair of boots for over a year, knowing my Scarpas were losing tread.
