Solid Buy
This is my second pair of Keen shoes. I've hiked about 15 miles and pavement-walked another 20 in these boots. I think these boot are sturdy and comfortable. They offer good ankle support in rougher terrain, and the wide toe box is good for my odd shaped feet (hammer toes). All I've ever worn in the past were trail shoes and not boots, and you might find these a little heavier. You certainly feel the difference after 8 miles or so. But, the fact that they are so hard on the outside and soft and dry on the inside balances out. They stay dry, and yet I haven't had an issue with my feet getting sweaty or needing breathing. And as I read from other reviews before buying these, I also found the tongue is a little weird. Because it's sown together with the outside and not left loose, it doesn't tuck like I'm used to. It bothered me the first time I wore them, but they're pretty well broken in now and I don't notice it.

My favorite boot... :)
I am a big Keen fan and these boots may be the best of the best of my Keen collection. These boots fit great out of the box. Interesting is that several of my friends also showed up with the same boot and the same conclusion without even talking to each other. I will buy the same boot in the future and thankful that once Keen gets a winner they stay with it for all us satisfied members of their fraternity. Thank you Keen.

Quite Happy
Rcvd my Keen Klamanth Mids about a week ago and they haven't left my feet. Admittedly it's 20 below here in CO or I'd be out hiking. But time for that. One thing i wanted to stress was the sizing. Of course others comment on the fact they consistently run a 1/2 size small. I took their advice and ordered up 1/2 size. Glad i did. I placed the shoes sole-to-sole with a pair of Nike running shoes, which tend to run abt a qtr of a size small. The Nike's were 10.5 Men. Sure enough, the Keen's, size 11, were exactly the same length. A clue to this quality control problem may be in Keen's sizing chart and the shoe tag show American 11 being equivilent to Eur 44.5, when in fact Eur44.5 equates to 10.5. Thanks to forums like this the buyer's can be advised and money saved all around shiping them back for re-sizing up. Anyhow, great shoe. i will be climbing some fourteeners in them. Finally, Altrec Exec's! Pack your bags! You could justify a nice expense-paid trip to China to wise them up on the sizing! Of course by now everyone knows their sizing is off. You'd hv to spend millions in some ad campaign announcing the Chinese finally got it right. "Keen's...It's Okay...Order your true size now!"

What I expected, great Keen quality
I've owned close to a dozen pair of Keen shoes and sandals and the Klamath Hiking Boot did not disappoint. It has the same right out of the box fit that other Keen shoes have but give a lot more ankle support than my other boots. They also seem to be a bit heavier, but didn't seem to cause any additional fatigue. Altrec service was superb!

Great hiking boot
This is my first hiking boot from Keen and I really love this boot. It is all-round hiking boot for general hiking purpose. Great cushioning, big toe box, and great ankle support. But this shoe runs one size small (according to keen website), so you have to make sure you need to order one or half size up. Strongly recommend for your next hiking boot :)
