Great Boot Wears Kinda Like A Sneaker

Wore this boot all spring and summer and have loved them more than any other Keen boot I’ve had. Purchased a half size small to accommodate any stretching that might happen and they have fit great the whole time. Metal lace loops are a great feature especially if your hard on boots. My only complaint is that the bottom sole wore out quicker than expected but it wouldn’t detour me from buying again. Great boot right out of the box and lighter than most Keen boots I’ve purchased.

Nice

I like keen shoes since I discovered them a few years back. They have a shape (bean shape) that feels better than straight line shoes. They hold up well, considering my dog and I log many miles over fairly rough trails. Even when they are worn out, I can throw a new insole from Keen, and use them kicking around the yard. I have had a few pairs ranging from casual shoes I can go out to eat with, to winter hiking boots that really do the job. Definitely worth a try for anyone looking for something comfortable and well made for a reasonable price.

Great Boots!

They have quickly become my new favorite boots, very lightweight, great insoles and extremely comfortable too!

I Love The Nxis Series

I love the NXIS series approach of combining a waterproof boot with a sneaker. It very comfortable and agile, while providing the advantages of a boot. Instant comfort. This is the classic Keen fit, nice and roomy in the toe box.

1st Pair Of Keen Boots

This is sadly my first pair of Keen boots and definitely, it will not be my last. Wearing these to work in and what has amazed me is there was no 'break-in" requirement. Felt super comfortable from day 1.

Great Boot!

I just took these out on my motorcycle and they were great. Very comfortable and almost like sneakers. The soles are like little pillows. I really enjoy them so far.

Out Of The Box Comfort

I have wide feet, and these fit the bill. Super light and extremely comfortable. Most comfortable hiking shoe I have had so far.

Amazing Hikes

These boots are the most comfortable shoe I own. No break in period. I took it on a 4 mile hike with 1000 feet in elevation and had no issues going up or down the mountain. My feet were really comfortable the whole way and it just felt protected at the same time. I had bought them with the intent for fishing these were made for hiking.

Second Pair

Love that I can put on new and my feet are comfortable all day no matter if I’m hiking or disc golfing

Great Fit And Light!

Very impressed, light for long distances and keep your feet dry

Sooo Comfy!!

This is my second pair of Keens. And I couldn't be happier with these NXIS Explorers. They are very light, and super comfy. I am excited to wear them backpacking in a few weeks to test them out.

Good Comfortable Boot. Haven't Been

Good comfortable boot. Haven't been out in the elements with it so I have no opinion there.

Comfortable, But Falling Apart

I only wore the NXIS Explorer for three days before one of the metal lace eyelets popped. If it weren't for that, this review would have been a four star. The shoes are very lightweight and great for walking and hiking. Look nice, fit well, but a bummer that they are not holding together after only a few uses. A good summer hiker, but at this rate they won't make it to the fall.

One Major Flaw.

The boots fit very comfortably out of the box with good flex in the soles. However, They do not use the hook loops for the laces at the top of the boot so you can't slip them off easily. This also makes it hard to tighten them down to prevent heel slip and you have to untie them every time. The old Nxis didn't use this terrible design. Great boot degraded by one flaw.

Comfortable Just Not Durable.

This boot is comfortable but like other Keen boots I have owned, one of the boot lace eyelets ripped out after only wearing them a few times. Unfortunately can’t return them now and I am going to have to look and see what will hold up elsewhere.
