Some of my favorite shoes. I liked them so much I bought a second pair in another color. Super comfy out of the box. Light and not too hot for being waterproof. keenfootwear.com

I'm in the mountains, hike daily and usually keep five or so boots/shoes in rotation. Different tools for different jobs. I had a pair of Bridgers about five years ago and they crapped out way too soon. Saw these on sale, they had the structure i was looking for and went for it. Got them a couple of months ago, they have roughly 200 miles on them and am glad to say they're showing very little wear TJF · REI
