KEEN Leiki Waterproof Hiking Shoes

Women's

I've had these Leikis for a month now and still love them. I wanted something for urban dog walks that would keep my feet dry in rain and puddles but with enough traction to handle light trails. Perfect for shoulder-season weather when it's wet but not yet cold enough for heavier boots. They're lightweight and cushy. At the store, I compared these to the Versacore. The Leiki is more snug around the heel and arch, but the toe box is still roomy. The Leiki toe box also has more structure and kept its shape, while the Versacore would crease and press against the top of my toes with each step which I found annoying. I liked the lower heel height of the Versacore, but ended up going with the cushier Leiki which seemed to also have more structure for ankle stability.

These shoes are essential for outdoor adventures. Our region offers many beautiful hiking trails, but conditions can be wet and slippery. Therefore, these shoes are my preferred choice for hiking because of their waterproof design, superior traction, breathablity, and comfortable fit. Furthermore, their color and design complement various outfits. I wholeheartedly recommend these shoes.

They shoes feel like they are giving your foot a nice big hug. When working out or hiking I notice that they are very breathable. Nothing is worse that a stuffy shoe! It has really good traction also when running or climbing on rocks.
