Customer Reviews KEEN Ridge Flex WP

These were comfortable like all my other keens. The rubber section on top between the laces and the toe fell apart within a week. My feet get wet in that area pretty frequently but I just won’t buy this model again. Still love keens though.

I'm flat footed and these offer good support without being overbearing. It is a stable shoe meaning I can't easily rock my foot from side to side and feel like I am going to misstep and fall over while wearing. The quality of Keen is evident in this shoe - no problems with that! My only gripe is that the rubber bellows is a solid bit of rubber, that means my feet feel a little more warm that I would like during hot days. Its March in TX right now so there's a breeze and my feet already feel warm wearing these- in 104deg heat these are going to be quite hot. I would say these will be warmer than is comfortable under the sun. We'll see- but if I feel it now in 60deg I'll certainly feel it under the summer sun. Leather probably breathes easier.

They actually look better in person than in the photos. Typical Keen toe box with plenty of room. I wear a size 9 and ordered a 9. They fit great and feel broken in right out of the box. A little extra room on top of the foot as well but this left space for thicker hiking socks so no worries.

Incredible comfortable.

Too wide. Not enough support for full day working in the field

I'm not a serious hiker or anything but these shoes came apart in a short amount of time. I'm a big fan of Keen but in this case the stitching started coming apart almost immediately and big chunks of the sole just break off. Probably a bad batch but beware.

Perfect

Great fit right out of the box. Comfortable with lots of room for your toes. Very little break-in needed due to the flex section. Looking forward to testing in Alaska later this year!

Great out of the box. Comfy, supportive, and overall great.

Very comfortable right out of the box.

Very nice shoes great price fast service thanks.

These are very comfortable and I really like the flex. I do not feel like I need to break them in. My only concern is for the soft, ribbed rubber just below the shoe strings. It seems to be made from a rather thin rubber, so I wonder how well it will hold up over time.

Fantastic. Wore them literally right out of the box for a 34 mile backpacking trip along the AT in the Smoky Mountains. Even though I’d been having foot problems for months leading up to this trip - bunion, callouses, and a mildly torn tendon in my ankle causing foot pain - I had no troubles on this trip. Feet felt better than ever. No regrets. I bought them because I love the wide toe beds Keen has, and these didn’t disappoint. I’d bought and tried on several different brands of hiking shoe before this (including one that is top ranked in all the hiking enthusiast websites) and found them all incredibly narrow and tight and stiff, even though I have a medium width foot. Sent them all back. In addition to the comfort, these are nice looking, incredibly rugged and the waterproofing was great. We hit some heavy rain and the trails were flowing streams in some places - except for where the rain came in the opening of the shoe around my ankles, had no water get in (a number of thru-hikers on the trail wore gators around their ankles - good idea.) The one caveat I will note is that if anything they seemed cut just a bit on the large side for my size, but with some thick hiking socks, they were perfect. Anyway, better than too small like the others I tried. I definitely recommend.

This is my first time buying Keens, I was hopeful. I ordered my exact size. The shoe runs small so I exchanged it for 1/2 size larger. I have a wide foot and was surprised of the amount of room even though it wasn’t available in wide with. No break-in required. This shoe is a home run for me.

Most waterproof boots are big, bulky and ugly. These are perfect for the winter to wear everyday.

Very comfortable.

Having owned several pairs of Targhee III, I was a little hesitant to try something new. I am definitely glad that I did. The flex ridges definitely improve the break-in time for these shoes and I have been very happy with the comfort right out of the box. The black color is great, they are my go-to bad weather sneaker now. I may get another color to use for actual hiking next summer.

It was high quality.

You can't go wrong with Keen! This is my 5th pair of Keens over the last 15 years. I swear by them. They are comfortable, stylish, functionable and long lasting. I still have all 5 pair.

Fits well, quite comfortable and light

My partner bought some Keen hiking boots recently from Zappos, and had to do a bunch of exchanges to get the right style and size for her feet. So, imagine my surprise when I got the exact right style and size on the first try. I did have to do one exchange, due to a manufacturing flaw that left an uncomfortable bump on the side of the tongue gusset. But the replacement pair is great. They’re nice and lightweight, feel nice and sturdy with a good tread, and they seem to breathe nicely on hot days.

The wide sizes are great for wide feet! Toe box is so comfortable!

very happy because they support and feel come from the first time worn

this is the second time I purchased these. the first time was when they first came out. I returned them. they felt too short and toe box not as wide as my other Keens. I’ve had at least a dozen pair. I decided to give them a try again. this time they were the charm. pretty much fit like older Keens. lots of toe room and stable

The width is the best.
