Keen Seek Trail Running Shoe - Women's

I have worn these a handful of times and have slipped at least once during each outing on dry, granite (grippy) rock sections. Not even running, just walking. This has never been a common occurrence for me with any other trail runners or my Keen hiking boots and shoes (which I love dearly). After slipping, slicing my knee open, and nearly knocking my head on rocks, I'm feeling unsafe wearing these. They're being retired to flat dirt paths only which is sad seeing as how expensive they were. Would absolutely not recommend these to anyone, especially if you go out alone.

I am really enjoying the Seek Trail shoe. I run multiple trail terrain types with generally quite a bit of elevation. The Seek is comfortable in the cushioning, allows for ample room when descending, and provides good grip on the way up.

I typically do not like shoes that have a sewn in tongue and these were a little tight on the first wear but after that they were fine. I liked them so much I've bought 2 more pairs. I walk all day for my job (13+miles/day)and generally have an active life so I have a lot of time on my feet and good shoes are a must. I have many other brands and models to choose from but I have grabbed these about 95% of the time the last 3 months over my hokas and brooks. These don't have the aggressive cushioning of the other 2 brands but somehow my feet feel way less tired the next day. So glad I found these!

These have a wider toe area, feel cushy but not squishy which I really value seem breathable . My only concern is on trails there is such a big gap around the heel ankle area that I feel is just gonna fill with dirt gravel and other things on trail most likely. If I wore a gaiters maybe it would work but idk.

I've done two longer runs in these so far. First was a 9 mile work out mostly on paved and gravel paths and the second was a 16 mi wet and muddy trail run with 2k elevation gain. I like the look, traction, and cushion - the shoes feel springy and I was confident on various mud, sand, and rock. However, the fit leaves a bit to be desired. I was hoping for a more secure midfoot lock, like Altras. I found myself slipping a bit in the shoes, especially on steep terrain and especially after they got wet and the upper loosened up. I found the to be toe box is wider than average, but I wish there was more width in the big toe area to spread. I had no issue with the heel as others have reported, but I did find that they run HOT. I found these to be true to size, if not slightly big. I wear a 9. 5D in Hoka and a 10B in Altra. I have a size 10 in these, and have about a half inch of room in the toe. It's possible that some of my fit issues could be improved by sizing down, but I don't want to risk jamming my toes into the front of the shoe on descents. Ultimately, I found that these fit my foot like other keen shoes, but I was hoping for a more technical and secure fit in the upper. I will be keeping them in my rotation - I think they might really shine in the winter on moderate trails and even technical trails without a ton of elevation.

I got a pair a few months ago and have put about 200 miles of walking/hiking/running on them since. I've tried a number of other shoes but haven't really found my "Goldilocks" pair until these! They're so comfortable and have genuinely exceeded my expectations. I use them for long runs, tempo runs, hill sprints, and even reach for them when going on walks just because they're so comfy. I'd love to see a version with a little more weather-resistance as your feet will get soaked in wet conditions. For reference, my feet measure about 4" across flat at the widest point and these fit comfortably for me in my usual size (6. 5).

I’ve been searching high and low for a flexible, all terrain shoe for my active senior lifestyle. My biggest annoyance is how tiny rocks get into my shoe causing me to stop to empty my shoe often during my adventure. This shoe is my dreams come true. It is designed with this in mind. I love this shoe so much I ordered a second pair to keep at my cabin.

I like the shoes fine, but. . . there is a piece of material sewn around the heel in a rectangular shape. this leaves a tiny piece of loose fabric at the point and it rubs and created a little blister. I fixed the problem with tape, but curving the heel fabric would eliminate the problem
