The Pacific Crest Trail, a 2,700 mile single track trail running the length of the Pacific Crest, from the Mexican to the Canadian boarder, is completed, on foot, by just a hand-full of people each year. A key requirement for the journey is a comfortable, durable, dependable boot that can go the distance and log the miles without the weight of a traditional hiking boot.
using for motorcycle boots
I searched for a flexible, yet protective and lightweight boot. The regular winter harley brand I have are just too heavy for summer/warm weather wear. These are tall enough to offer some ankle protection and heavy enough to offer foot protection, yet flexible that I don't walk like a clumping 'bigfoot' even tho I wear women's size 10. I love love love the big toe box because after hours of riding my toes tend to go numb and this pair allows for wiggle room. I tried a motorcycle brand "street sneaker" and the toe was too narrow. After paying shipping both ways for the other brand, I decided to go up a half size and I'm glad I did for the room. If I was going to use them for hiking, I would have ordered my usual 10. I wear both 'dry lock' and sometimes a thick 'wicking' sock and an orthodic for plantar f. and i still have enough room. The boots also have a bit of reflective trim and anything that gets a biker noticed by another driver to avoid an accident is a good thing. This is my third pair of keen and I may just be a life customer!! I have the whisper and the owahee sandals. They took me all over my first trip ever to disneyworld in March with great comfort. I'm looking forward to riding with these on the Dragon's tail in June.
My wife was very pleased
Bought these for my wife after she wore out her last hiking boots. She has worn them a few times on short walks and can't wait to give them a real test in the woods. Comfortable and well made.
quality you'd expect from Keen
These hiking boots are the quality you would expect from Keen. They provide excellent ankle support for hiking over rocky terrain. I wear a 9 1/2, so I ordered a 10, thinking about how your feet tend to swell with hiking (and also if you wear thicker socks). Also, I have found with Keen footwear, I am better off ordering a half size larger. These boots look great too, they are just what I was looking for in both appearance and durability.
Love Keen boots
I have worn Keen hiking boots for several years. They are comfortable, light and fit me perfectly. The only downside is that I usually have to buy a new pair every year. I liked this Oregon PCT because it is cut a little higher and is stiffer and appears sturdier than the last model I bought. Hopefully it will last longer than the lighter boots I have purchased before. I will have to wear these for awhile before I can rate the durability. Remember to buy a whole size larger than usual.
Great All Around Boot
These boots were very comfortable right out of the box. I wear a size 10 and they were true to size. They are perfect for day hiking. Usually when backpacking I prefer a bit stiffer ankle support and thicker sole, however these will still work despite being a bit thinner and more supple. They are comfortable enough that I don't mind keeping my boots on at camp. I've worn them in summer/fall so far, but they are looking a bit thin for winter weather coming up. I would recommend these to anyone as a good all around, middle of the road boot in terms of weight/flexibility.
