KEEN Circadia Mid Waterproof Hiking Boots for Men review
This pair of KEEN Circadia outdoor waterproof and anti - slip hiking boots for men is really something. It uses the KEEN LUFTCORE tech. They stuck a lightweight foam core right in the midsole, which helps cut down on shock and keeps you comfy all day long. The upper part is made of LWG - certified eco - friendly, high - quality leather and performance mesh fabric stitched together. (That leather comes from an LWG - certified leather factory, you know.) There's also this Keen.Dry breathable waterproof membrane. It lets the steam out but keeps the water from getting in. And the quick - drying lining and the removable PU insole? They make sure you stay comfortable no matter what, so you can handle all the crazy changes in the outdoor environment.
The quick - tightening shoelace system is super convenient. It saves you time and fits your feet just right. The quick - drying lining and the comfortable insole keep that good feeling going. The Keen.All - Terrain all - terrain rubber outsole has a really strong grip. Those 5 - mm non - marking multi - directional raised patterns add even more traction, so you can wear these boots in all kinds of places. And they don't have any PFC, so the waterproofing lasts.
You know, I don't think these Keen Circadia boots are ugly at all. But when they're just sitting there on the store shelf, people walking by often say they are. I'm really into them, though. They're my absolute favorite shoes this winter. I've worn them to climb snowy mountains, walk through fields, and even for long city walks. I can do 20,000 steps a day and still feel like I'm walking on air.
About the size, I usually wear 42.5eu for Adidas, and I got 43eu for these. With regular socks on, they're just a tiny bit big. This is my first time getting hiking boots, so I don't have much to compare with. I've just been really digging the look of KEEN lately. I wore these boots for 50,000 steps over the weekend and didn't run into any issues. It's really nice that my toes can move around freely. But when I'm going down a long slope, I feel like my feet slide around a little inside the boots.
