Seek Trail Running Shoe (Men)

Amazingly light weight for being so heavily cushioned. Soft and comfortable. Walked a two mile route right out of the box. I’m not sure Keen intended the design of the shoes to kind of propel you forward but they seem to do just that. I’m happy with the quality and comfort of the shoes. The only drawback for me is because the tongue and gusset are all one piece they’re hard to put on. But again that’s me. I’d buy another pair tomorrow if the tongue was separate and not integrated into the shoes. Definitely recommend the Seek. The vast majority of people are going to thoroughly enjoy this shoe!

I usually have 3 pair of running shoes--road running shoes, more radical trail shoes for rocky, steep, snowy, wet mountains, and one pair of trail shoes for tamer trails. I bought these Keens for that third category. I fell in love with them out of the box! I took them for a weekend of trail running right after buying them with no break in period. Run 1 was short but very steep and very rocky. They were fine. I didn't feel any rock bites. Next two runs were longer on the Appalachian Trail. They were exactly what I was looking for. Since then I have run on the road with them and once on a treadmill. At this point I think I could have them as my only running shoe. (That is really weird for me to say!). I think I will keep a pair of trail shoes with deeper cleats and a board. But I will use these Keens for the vast majority of my running. Fit was perfect out of the box. The liner hugs my ankles and will protect from gravel, sand, debris. And, they look cool.
