Also, my foot is wider but I don't wear a wide Size yet these boots have a little extra wiggle room, not a tight Toe box...
I do grass, cutting and landscaping and these get a lot of hours and wear and tear
I am also an avid hiker so I keep 2 sets 1 for work and one for hiking.
I would not take these on the Appalachian trail. Because with hard use, things start to bust a part. And they are not the most water resistant.
But for the price point, the flexibility comfortability.
You can't go wrong.
This is my second pair.
I use them for construction testing and inspection and on my feet all day. I usually buy boots and wear them out after 6 months for the type of work I do. My last pair of boots were Keen Tarhees mid height. Maybe softer bottoms and do I wore a hole in back heel area. Hope these wear better for this type of use . I walk on concrete and also fresh concrete when having to walk across runway lanes as they’re being poured. Very stiff mix requirement so you can walk on top and sometimes sink in if material wetter than should be. Always buy waterproof so I can rinse off if I get fresh concrete on them. The price is good but all boots that I buy I put after market insoles on top of insole that comes with boots. Keen boots come with extra room to be able to stack another insole.
The rubber accordion over the top of the toes is very nice as it allows the boot to flex easily without stiff leather being pushed into your toes!
Soles have been looking good for all the things I’ve gone through this past year! No signs of fast wear on the upper or sole.
I prefer wide fit boots for extra toe room & a wide toe box and these boots do not disappoint. Very well made!

If you like "waterproof" boots that start taking on water in multiple places in about 6 months, these are the boots for you.
I am not a die-hard hiker. Three or four long mountain hikes a year, and walking my dog on nearby trails. Hardly a rigorous test of quality.
Sure, they started out lightweight and comfortable. 4 stars for that. Then it goes downhill fast, and not in a fun way. That Patented "Flex" thing on the instep is the first place that fails to keep your socks dry. It cracks and separates and, unless you never step in wet grass or water deeper than 1", you're coming home with squishy socks. This was less than 6 months in. Then the leather pulled away from the heel. Then the tread pulled away from the sole. I bought these on 8/29/2021. It is now 9/22/2022 and they are in complete ruin. After the first failure, I wrote in to Keen corporate requesting they honor their "1 Year Warranty" with photos attached and never heard back. I guess they bought Columbia boots and took a hike. If I were British I would say these are absolute rubbish.
Tell that ex-friend who recommended them. Make new friends and tell them. Gather a mob and storm corporate with torches and pitchforks, just don't let one more pair of these disappointing, shoddily made, overrated (I hesitate to call them) "boots" hit the trail.
I beg of you.

Sized up half a size from my running shoe size. People told me that Keen boots run wide, so I tried the regular D width first but they didn't feel wide enough. Fortunately the wider boots were perfect.
