Keen Hightrail Mid Hiking Boot - Men's

I needed a wide shoe and these have become my daily go to shoe. I got the wide hightops and sized them up 1/2 to deal with my foot issue ( a bunion that essentially widens my foot). They feel like sneakers, and I've literally been able to run in them when needed (e. g. airport :-). I wish they'd offer another wide color but tan. Also, I tried on the lowtops and they didn't feel as good, not sure why. But love the ones I have!

I love these shoes/boots. Great hybrid between running shoe and offroad boot. My only issue is that the toe box is much narrower than some of the other boots (Durand, Targhee), and maybe a little shorter. I cannot wear these shoes as my toes are cramped and it feels like my toes are hitting a part of the boot wrong. You might try and size up. But if width is an issue, I would avoid these. It is a shame, as they quality and build is great.

I bought these in october of 2025, its now april 2026. There is a hole worn throught the outer mesh and waterproof lining just from walking, right where my pinky toe is. Also the insole is flatter than a sheet of paper and its only been 6 months. The rest of the boot is fine but if you plan on regularly heavy hiking, i dont recomend these.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes come as advertised. Very comfortable. I really like the looks of them.

I tried this Keen hiking boot because it was slightly more stylish than the Salomon X Ultra. However, the cushioning is lacking. The feel of the shoe doesn’t align with the appearance of a sneaker-inspired hiking boot. It felt like stepping into a bowl instead of a cushioned footbed. I tried different insoles, but the issue persisted. I attribute this to poor design.

I had previously reviewed the Targhee III as my favorite Keen boot, and it was until I bought the Hightrail boot at REI. The Keen Hightrail Hiking boot is my new favorite daily Keen boot. I've owned the Targhee, II, III, and IV. For me the Hightrail is the most comfortable and best fitting out of all of them for daily wear. I need a boot that's versatile in the fall, winter, and spring and can go from walking the dogs on concrete sidewalks, to the office, and light to moderate hiking. All in various weather like rain and snow. And the Hightrail is perfect for that. It's very lightweight and incredibly comfortable, almost like a running shoe. Very similar to my Keen Versicore Speed shoes that I wear in the summer. The toebox is slimmer than the Targhee so I had to go with a wide size to get the same roomy toebox. I wanted the Dark Earth/Oak Buff color but the only color available in wide is Brindle/Oak Buff. It's a nice neutral color so I'm happy with it. The traction seems great so far and I can walk the dogs on concrete sidewalks for miles without any foot or shin pain issues like I had with the Targhee's due to their harder outsole. Which is great for hiking and backpacking, but not urban environments. That's where the Hightrail shines. Overall, the Hightrail is a great all-around hiking boot that I wear every day in the fall/winter/spring.

These boots are amazing. I am so impressed with the comfort and durability. I'm a female with 4X-Wide feet and struggle to find shoes of any kind that fit. I purchased these Men’s size 7 wide width hikers for a trip to Iceland. They are so light weight and comfortable. I did not get any blisters or pain from these. Wore them 17 days straight for 10-12 hours per day. Rain, major mud, waterfalls, climbing caves, walking over lava rocks, etc. They flexed with my feet and kept them dry. I walked 3-5 miles per day. I did not submerge in any streams nor hike major mountains just to level set. I never have been more impressed by a boot in my life. (55+) I would highly recommend these. This company is also military and law enforcement friendly. I purchased via id. me and received a discount as well since I'm a US Veteran. Much appreciated.

Undecided. . . cuz these have high potential. . . but. . . I wish there was more cushion under the ball if the foot, cuz just walking around the house i can feel too much. . so walking iver stone would be a no-no lol. I did try adding/swapping other insoles, which made them a maybe. . . but when i do that, my heel rises in the shoe, and then theres a horizontal seam on the inside of the back heel that ends up hitting in a horrible spot i can feel thru the sock even. . . ,yikes. And. . . they could bit a bit wider. They were cute and very bendy. So. . . IF Keen could add more cushion sole thickness to the sole overall/ball of foot especially, & make them a smidge wider, & remove the inner heel horizontal heel seam/raise it, THEN they could be amazing. . . :/
