KEEN

Voyageur

Women's

The most important thing about these shoes is that they have a wide toe box. I tried on other Keens but found that these had the best toe box for my slightly wide foot. I just returned from a 40 mile hiking trip through the Grand Canyon and have zero blisters from these shoes. My husband DID get several blisters wearing different shoes. Also, I am an ICU nurse and wore these shoes to work before our trip to break them in, although they didn't need it. They were extremely comfortable shoes to wear to work- better than tennis shoes or my Danskos by far. My only problem is that they are so dirty now I don't think I can wear them to work again! I wear a 9.5 in Nike, Asics, Brooks, Saucony.... and I took a 9 in these. Hope this helps!

I ordered these shoes for hiking in the Grand Canyon. I ordered both styles of the Voyageur in one half size larger than I usually wear after reading the reviews. I found that the mid top was uncomfortable to my ankles so I returned them. The low top slipped in the heel area, so I reordered my usual size and it fit perfectly with my mid-thickness hiking socks. They are extremely comfortable,have plenty of room in the toe area, and are not unattractive like some hiking boots.

Keen's Voyager - Absolutely adore this shoe! Right from the box it was comfortable. I wear a size 9.5 and from my experience with Keen, ordered the same size - found a size 10 a bit too large in the Newport shoes. I have had nine knee surgeries and love Keens. I rehabilitated on crutches all last summer in the Newport shoes. The Voyager felt great the moment I put it on and I haven't wanted to take it off yet. The size 9.5 fit perfectly with light or med socks and the shoe gives excellent support. I would tell anyone who has had any orthopedic problems that Keen shoes and sandals are wonderful. I ordered from Zappos on Sat and got them on Mon!

Please be advised that there is a significant color discrepancy between sizes. I ordered them in two sizes to try on. The 8s are the darker brown color in the Zappos photos, and the 8.5s are a lighter stone gray. I really like the look of the darker brown better, but the 8s were too small and I need them this weekend. It's not upsetting enough to return and wait for a replacement - if there is even one available. I've included a photo. I'm wearing the 8.5.

I have some great hiking boots, but I wanted a lighter pair of touring shoes. If I had not been touring in the cold and snow of December, I would have worn my all-time favorites, my Keen Venice sandals, which I love for the way they surround my feet without binding, without moving around, and yet still letting me feel the ground under my feet. After having tried out several "barefoot" shoes that just didn't work, I found this Voyageur as close as I've come to that luxurious feeling of a shoe with room in the toe box and that fits like a good pair of gloves--respecting all the contours without pinching and without excess bulk. The only nagging worry is that after a couple of days of wearing them on the trail, I know that I am going to have to figure out how to tighten the laces so as to fit the shoes more snugly in the heel without putting too much pressure on the bridge.
