DRY membrane, which supplies your feet with protection against water and moisture, keeping your feet dry.

FIT MATTERS: Our iconic KEEN Original Fit gives generous space for toes to spread out; Contoured heel lock for a more secure fit. Where the majority of inexpensive hiking boots make little or no mention of eco credentials, Keen is different.

CLOSURE: Speed hooks allow for easy lace adjustment and improves your ability to easily get the footwear on/off. We’ve also been impressed the Circadia Waterproof Boot’s durability compared to other lower cost boots, so longevity is also in the Circadia Waterproof Boot’s favour too.

A wide toe-box construction allows the Circadia Mid WP to accommodate a range of foot shapes thus making it an ideal boot for first-time hikers, and those with wider feet. Since its beginning in 2003, KEEN has worked to create innovative footwear with a focus on fit, comfort and protection. Underfoot, I discovered that the dual density “LuftCore” EVA-based midsole provides good cushioning. There are certainly lighter options on the market, but unlike the ultralight models, we found Circadia Waterproof Boot feels a lot more durable and offers greater ankle support.They’re fairly big and chunky boots with a broad, high-volume fit that will best suit those with wider feet. Alongside this, the shoes have an Eco Anti-Odour to provide you with natural odour control and ensure your feet smell and feel fresh.

A good sole unit which gives good traction on challenging terrain, with a lightweight foam cushioning to give all-day support and comfort. Lightweight Cushioning: KEEN LuftCore technology embeds a lightweight foam core inside the midsole to absorb shock for comfort that lasts all day. All in all, if your priorities are comfort, cushioning and protection, these are a great choice – and though they’re not as light as some of the more streamlined hybrid trainer-hikers, they should prove more durable, thanks to those leather uppers and the robust toecap. KEEN products are consciously created using PFC-free water repellent (in applicable styles) and leather sourced from Leather Working Group (LWG)-certified tanneries. So we built a perfectly cushioned, waterproof, grippy women's hiking shoe that checks all the boxes.Whatever kind of hike you like to do, comfort, protection and traction are non-negotiable "must-haves". And though I thought they initially looked and felt a bit ungainly, KEEN’s heel capture system pulls everything in tight, despite the relatively simple lacing system and single set of lace hooks. There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data. Our only other negatives are that, inevitably, the mostly leather construction of these boots means they feel a little heavier and warmer than fabric alternatives, especially in high summer. COMFORT: KEEN LuftCore technology embeds a light, air-injected core into high-density foam for comfort that lasts all day; Notch in the back of the collar for Achilles comfort.

The Vojo 3 also has slightly more grip from its outsole, but the Circadia Waterproof Boot is more comfortable, especially for those with a wider foot. However, a generously padded mesh ankle cuff and tongue along with mesh panel inlays ensure they feel plush and comfortable yet also flexible, without the stiffness and break-in time associated with traditional all-leather boots.In addition, we liked the ample cushioning around the ankle and the reassurance its proper toecap gave us. There are undoubtedly lighter mid-cut boots around, though few that feel as reassuringly protective as the Circadia. He’s based in Snowdonia and last year thru-hiked the Cambrian Way, which runs for 298 miles from Cardiff to Conwy, with a total ascent of 73,700 feet – that’s nearly 2½ times the height of Everest.
