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 have been suffering from plantar fasciitis for over a year and have slight overpronation in my right foot. Anyone who has had plantar fasciitis knows how painful and exhausting it is. I work on a concrete floor for nine hours a day. Asolos of a similar style have become too costly for me even though I know they fit me perfectly. I looked at the Pyrenees online for some months, but am one of those people who feel more comfortable purchasing clothing and shoes I can try on in store. I am so glad I took the risk on these. I have worn them for three shifts. I have NO PAIN, not even in the mornings when I first get up. The arch support is excellent. I can tell the outer sole is absorbing the impact, much like standing on an anti-fatigue mat that remains under your feet perpetually. And they also double as an ankle brace, just as I hoped a mid-boot would. It has been raining much here, so I attest they ARE waterproof. I have only one complaint--the leather feels more like plastic to the touch--so I am not certain how long the upper will last, but for now, they are doing what I need them to do.

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.
