Circadia Mid Waterproof

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.

Bought these for my husband as a gift. He loves. He thinks they are very comfortable an they fit well. Only thing is that they do not breathe well so his feet get hot.

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.

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.

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.

I live in the Pacific NW in a fairly rural area. I only use my boots on the property for about two hours a day when outdoors doing chores. I had earlier bought the weatherproof boots at Costco, but the soles would separate from the tops. This usually happened during the rainy season. You can see I have a lot of grass that I walk through and the grass is seasonally wet. I bought these boots and the same thing started happened. Walking in wet 2 inch high grass started to show signs of separation, which I then used super glue to stop the separation. However you can see that the material is separating. Granted if you live in an urban area and walk on sidewalks you might never have a problem, but just walking in the grass when it is wet creates enough stress to test the bonding of the uppers from the sole. Maybe, if you got some rubber cement, it might work better than super glue. It is expensive to get a good pair of boots where the uppers and lower are stitched together. I would call this more of an urban / dry climate boot. I used to work in the woods 8 - 10 hours a day, on the side of mountains, in all types of terrain and weather, I know how a good work boot holds up. This is a recreational boot better in dry climates.

Well made and comfortable walking shoe with a wide toe box

Pictures are my old Keen's to the left and the new to the right to illustrate the differences. This is my 4th pair of Keen hiking boots. 2 Targhees, 1 Voyager, and now the Circadia. I love some of the improvements with the Circadia. The new bottoms are great. They are one piece at the edge. After 2 years of moderate use, my old Keen's came unglued there. Also there are improvements to the toe area. My last 2 pairs came unglued there (it was after 3 years of moderate use). The new ones have another layer under the wrapped toe. This layer is stitched down. Hopefully the rubber adheres better to this than it does to just leather. The maiden voyage for these Circadia was great. Less slippage. Less issues with mud clogging up the bottom. And we went down some steep, Muddy, Rocky trails. I love the water resistance. My feet stayed dry even after walking thru a small stream. My feet always say, "ah" when I put Keens on. I wear Keen dress shoes too😊 06/03/23 Note: I wore them without a sock and a liner for the first time. I got a hot spot on my toe. The toe box is a little wider than my old Targhee.

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.

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

Passform prima, KEEN eben, gut für breite Vorderfüße. Aber beide Schuhe wurden innerhalb eines halben Jahres an dengleichen drei Stellen am Außenrist undicht, obwohl KEEN mit "wasserdicht" wirbt.
