Anyone have any experience attaching lace hooks to the lace loops to use instead of the loops? My current boots have a combination of these loops with metal hooks for the top 3 locations. I have found the loops don’t have the longevity of metal hooks when the laces slowly saw through the loops.
I have high arches and plantar fasciitis pain in my heels. Once I started wearing Keen shoes almost exclusively, my feet finally felt normal again. Unfortunately, no ladies Keens in this sale (here’s hoping for a side sale with women’s keens in the morning).
LOVE Keens. Would recommend them until the end of days. They last forever, are comfortable, and help with myriad foot problems (collapsed arches over here). In ladies shoes, they usually run true to size. Speaking of ladies shoes, woot…
For anyone that has these: does the webbing that attaches to the tongue on these extend up the height of the shoe? I’ve had a few “waterproof” shoes in the past that would allow water to get into the boot when the tongue webbing didn’t extend up. Essentially they’d be waterproof until you stepped in water deeper than maybe 2.5".
Any thoughts on getting the size right? I’m reading elsewhere that it makes sense to buy hiking boots a half or whole size larger than normal to allow for hiking socks and some swelling. And the note says these come about a half size smaller than normal. Also, anyone know Woot’s return policy on shoes if they don’t fit? I’ve bought lots of stuff here, but but never had to return anything. Thanks all!
I received mine the other day and I have to say if its a 12, then my feet have grown, although I have a closet full of 12’s that say otherwise. Your saying that these run a half size small is a cruddy way of Keen passing its manufacturing and labeling errors on to the consumer. These are the first Keens I’ve bought and without a proper remedy, these will be the only Keens I’ll be buying.
Well I did as recommended by the site and ordered a 1/2 size larger and am glad I did because they fit perfect. The only thing I don’t like is the insole, which actually makes my feet hurt. Seems to have too much thickness on the out sides.
Otherwise they are sharp looking shoes/boots that are very light weight.
