KEEN Women's Circadia Low Height Comfortable Waterproof Hiking Shoe

I love these hikers. They are on the heavier side, but not too heavy. I purchase a lot of Keen hikers, and these are of good quality. They run big, however. I wear a 7 or 7 1/2 wide, and I purchased the 7 1/2 wide to wear a liner comfortably. I need to return them and buy a 61/2 wide.

I got these for an upcoming trip, where I expect to be doing some mild hiking, as well as a lot of regular walking. I wanted to break them in before I went, so started wearing them. So surprised at how comfortable they were - very supportive, but great toe box room (and I have wide feet) and wonderful support. No blisters. Feel quite substantial, which is great for my purpose, but might feel heavy for people just walking around where no sole toughness is needed. Great grip, feel like they will really hold on rocky paths and hills.

Comfortable but heavy

These are very nice and appear to be well made. My wife loved them. However, they were ordered in her shoe size and when they arrived, they did not fit well. I had to return them. If they were true to size, I would give them a higher rating. This is not a reflection on the shoe's quality. Just maybe order a half size larger.

Toe box is roomy for my neuropathy toes. There's room for wool socks to cushion them. Well made sturdy shoe. Theyare a bit stiff, but hoping the break in nicely. Good traction. Great price too.

nice quality, nice color, true color is just the same as we see in the website. feel safety when the shoes wrap your feet.

TL;DR : poor quality, not durable; developed holes in the soles in under 2 months of moderate wear.I am sorry if this will turn out to be a long review, but as a customer who takes time to do the research and read reviews myself I hope it may help others make an informed decision when it comes to "KEEN Women's Circadia Low Height Comfortable Waterproof Hiking Shoe".I was looking for reliable waterproof hiking shoes and at the time of my order these had the highest ratings and the most glowing reviews. I also heard that Keen apparently guarantees their shoes for a year, which to me was an indication of quality and had set my expectations rather high: I hoped that these shoes would last for *at least* a year with moderate wear.I purchased these shoes in Fall 2024, but didn't wear them much until Spring 2025: I waited for the weather to be warm enough to start walking. I am around 150 lbs (without these shoes on :)), and I try to walk around 5000 steps a day (sometimes more, but often less, and not always wearing these shoes); I walk on a trail in a park or on asphalt/paved sidewalks in the city. I do not believe that I am too hard on these (or any) shoes, and I am well aware that no shoes are indestructible and eventually every shoe will show some wear and tear. I was not prepared, however, that these shoes would develop HOLES in the soles in under two months of moderate wear! I have worn a lot of budget (Walmart no name brand) shoes that lasted me a couple of years before needing to be replaced, and I've encountered things like scuffed toes, worn threads, issues with insoles or stretched out shoe laces, but none of those el-cheapo shoes looked as bad as these after only a couple of months, and I had NEVER worn the soles out of ANY shoes that I'd owned.Needless to say, I am beyond upset.I expected these shoes to be waterproof. They are not. The water seeps in through the top of the tongue (all of the exposed purple fabric absorbs moisture and wicks it inside) so walking in a drizzle might not get your feet instantly soaked, but your shoes will be wet inside and will *stay* wet (I had to run boot dryers for 48 hours to get these shoes dry after ~5 minutes in light rain).I expected these shoes to be durable and to last for at least a year. Not in the cards. The soles developed holes in less than two months of occasional wear. Now they'd soak through not only from the top, but from the bottom as well.Never in a million years I'd expect that from a top rated brand name shoe.Oh, and just so you know: "wear" is not covered by Keen's warranty.Please make an educated decision and do not throw your money away by purchasing inferior quality shoes. Take a look at the pictures to see what these shoes look like after a couple of months.

The shoe looks nice and traction is amazing. However, the shoe feels cumbersome and loose, requiring some effort to step. Not a natural fit. No arch support. The entire foot bed is very thin. Uncomfortable overall.
