Quality is changing
"I purchased 3 pair of the Pyrenees boots in May31 of this year . All had defects. All had to be returned after wearing the boots for a short period. The last pair that I wore. I had to return today to Rei. I purchased a Pyrenees in 2023 for $170 . Now the Pyrenees is 190. The quality has not gotten better. The quality is worse however they are more expensive. The insoles used to be better than they are now. Keen is currently selling additional insoles. Keen to all who make decisions. I understand that you have a fiduciary responsibility to shareholders; however, your customers are who help pay your shareholders, so please, it’s a good idea not to cut corners in use cheap materials. Please do better by us consumers. Souladad."

Please, Keen! Make this boots in black again!
"Hello Keen! These boots in all black are fantastic! I have plantar fasciitis, back and knee problems and I love these boots! But unfortunately, this style has been changed to the Kosa Pyrenees boots and the toe bed is narrower, there isn’t a good arch & the toes are pointed. My feet are wide & not pointed! Please don’t round hiking boot toes to be more fashionable! I like the all black boots because with my long black dress pants it’s hard to tell that I’m wearing boots everywhere! Please make the boots in all black with black laces. Since I wear my boots everywhere, I don’t want fushia laces in my boots I wear to work. I always replace the different colors of laces with my Keen shoes with all black laces. My black Pyrenees boots are worn out & I need to buy new boots soon but can’t find these old Pyrenees anywhere. I have talked with the shoe store where I first bought my Keen Pyrenees boots and asked them multiple times to please talk to their Keen rep & pass this information on, but I’m not sure it has gotten to you at Keen. Please make these black Pyrenees boots again! There are probably other women like me with Foote issues who would also appreciate to have the same boots made again. Thank you!"

I want to love them
"I LOVE the solid leather boot. The shoe itself has great over pronation control. But the ankle portion rubs terribly. From my ankle bone up. I even tried not lacing them up all the way and they still rub so bad I can’t wear them."

Request for Wide size
"It’s good, but more better if it is Wide and oil resistant, aside for being Water resistant or Water froop."

Go-To boots, weak points to be considered
"These have been my favorite boot for years. The toe box is roomy, and for all intents they look good. Breaking the top tongue area in is a pain. Despite being my favorite boot, they consistently will split along the toe area (where my foot bends to sit on the balls of my feet) within about 6 months of heavy wear, or 9 months of lighter wear (this has occurred in the last 4 pairs I've bought). Immediately preceding the hole forming is a couple of months of dealing with the tread of the boot separating from the boot itself, as well as needing to replace insoles quickly, as the default ones are incredibly thin and uncomfortable. I walk about 6 miles a day on average, with about 3 miles being indoors only and the rest being in highly variable outdoor conditions. Mud will kill these boots the fastest, hose them off ASAP."

Relief From Plantar Fasciitis
"I have been suffering from plantar fasciitis for over a year and have slight overpronation in my right foot. Anyone who has had plantar fasciitis knows how painful and exhausting it is. I work on a concrete floor for nine hours a day. Asolos of a similar style have become too costly for me even though I know they fit me perfectly. I looked at the Pyrenees online for some months, but am one of those people who feel more comfortable purchasing clothing and shoes I can try on in store. I am so glad I took the risk on these. I have worn them for three shifts. I have NO PAIN, not even in the mornings when I first get up. The arch support is excellent. I can tell the outer sole is absorbing the impact, much like standing on an anti-fatigue mat that remains under your feet perpetually. And they also double as an ankle brace, just as I hoped a mid-boot would. It has been raining much here, so I attest they ARE waterproof. I have only one complaint--the leather feels more like plastic to the touch--so I am not certain how long the upper will last, but for now, they are doing what I need them to do."

Like the boot, shoe laces too short.
"Originally purchased Women's 11. I waited too long (exceeded the 30-day return policy) to try them on a hike before discovering they were about a half size too big. My foot slipped around inside the boot while on descent. So I ordered and received a Women's 10. 5, and they fit much better. The problem with the 10. 5 pair is that the laces are so short I can barely single knot them. Fortunately, the pair of 11's came with two pairs of laces, both of which are longer and capable of double-knotting. Overall, I find the Pyrenes boot very comfortable, particularly its nice wide toe-box, which is essential for me. My custom orthotics fit well, also. I hope to get many miles with these boots. Keen: please don't stop making wide toe-box boots and shoes. That's why I buy from you. Your speedy shipping is appreciated, too."

Sole separating
"I bought these 6 months ago to replace my 10 year-old Pyrenees. They are comfortable and keep my feet warm and dry, but the sole is already separating. I'm so disappointed! These are not nearly the quality of my 10 year old made-in-America pair which I have pushed hard and still wear nearly everyday."

Toes have blisters
"I broke the shoes in on two trips through a park. I felt it was sufficient enough to take it to a 5 mile sandy loop with 150 feet elevation gain. My toes have blisters I've had to tape for two days now. My knee is tender, my feet are so sore. I own two pairs of Keen slides, and a pair of sandals. I rave about the comfort. But the boots run small in the toe box. I'm not confident in wearing it again. Which is unfortunate, they're not cheap. Really sad about this because I've been eyeing this Keen pair of boots for over a year, knowing my Scarpas were losing tread."

Comfy but not waterproof
"They are super comfortable, feel like sneakers. However this past few weeks with the snow my feet get wet every day about an hour into work and the boots dont even dry out by morning, sucks but they are nice when its dry outside."
