Keen has done it again! I didn't think that there was such a thing as a hiking boot that could give me good traction, good looks & a comfortable fit, but leave it to Keen to solve the problem, & they solved mine with the Alamosa Mid Hiking Boot. Insert your foot into the boot & experience that"AHHH" sensation...an insole that molds to YOUR foot & YOUR custom fit. Made to be worn with heavy socks, without any pinch or rub, or that cramping sensation I get in the ball of my foot when trying to break in a new pair of shoes. I wore them to volunteer at the Humane Society shelter today & had no slipping or skidding issues on the snow or ice. & a comfy stride on our indoor flooring. The style of the shoe is incredible. I glance down at my feet & expect to see wide, puffy clown shoes, but Keen has made a hiking boot that's got a touch of pizzazz to it...& that little something extra that Keen does that says, "MY style!" I love the boots & I LOVE Keens!!!
