Keen Circadia Mid Waterproof Boots // for serious hikers

[@offtrackxplorer]

Update 24/10/2024: These boots lasted me for 15 months of absolutely rugged hiking terrains... And finally they died as I finished the Frenchmans Cap Trail in Tasmania. The sole finally delaminated on the right boot. For $138, I'd say that's great value and I simply loved these boots, they were so comfortable. I'll now be trying another Keen hiking boot, yet to decide.

I just found these for 60 at Ross looks like I got a steal haha

[@conrad98gtp]

Same! 🙌💯

[@El_Chivo415]

Same they are great!!!

[@supremotabako]

Just bought a pair based on this review. Thanks!

[@adventureswithgrunt]

Great review. I love my Keen boots. Summer and waterproof ones. A wide fit suits me. I don't tend to roll my ankles in them. If they had a vibram sole they would be perfect.

[@offtrackxplorer]

Thanks Grant... I've yet to try a Vibram sole shoe. People have raved about them, they obviously are very good I'm assuming?

[@111wash]

Just ordered these because of your video. Thanks

[@offtrackxplorer]

Great... You'll love these. 👍👍

[@jetsdead]

Love mine! My second pair of Keens and very happy with them. The extra width is great. Got mine last November for $89 US.

[@offtrackxplorer]

Yeah, that extra width is exactly what my feet need too👌

[@ThePizzzark]

Anyone else get a good laugh imagining his arms out behind him anime style when he's running through the fields. Great review you turned me away from the Salomons! Thank you!

[@offtrackxplorer]

Got it... Next shoe review video, running forward in fields of butterflies, arms flying rearward, maybe shoes catching on fire 👍👍😁

[@parka5344]

Also did your Keens stretch a little? They said to go a size smaller on their website, but my toes are a little too snug on the front end, so I am debating if I want to return them and get my normal size or wait it out.

[@lkkl6158]

Love those pants in this video. What are those ?

[@offtrackxplorer]

Thanks, those are the Mountain Designs Larapinta Cargo Pants. Simply excellent for hiking.

[@firehanshg]

I already have a keen Targhee. Great shoe. Just bought the Cicardia in Black. After watching your great vid/ review. Shame I could not find my size in the Brown. May be in another 5 month. Cheers Hans.

[@offtrackxplorer]

Thanks Hans... Both Targhee and Circadia boots are great 👍👍

[@ike8236]

Just got the targhee iii but they're way too stiff on the upper edge and rub bad above my ankle so I'll take them back and try these. Greta review mate, might go watch some of your other vids.

[@ike8236]

Great*

Seems like a cool channel. Subbed... Cheers my Aussie brother.

[@offtrackxplorer]

Awesome thank you!

[@kwacker4km]

Great review was looking at getting those salomons which you reviewed on your other vid so glad i didnt purchase those. Now just ordered these can't wait👍🏻 do you recommend me getting the insoles though as what they come with look pretty good ones. Keep up the great work happy hiking👍🏻👌

[@offtrackxplorer]

Thanks, no don't bother going with additional insoles. I've simply gone back to using what the Keens came with as it feels better on my feet. Each to their own, but the Keens insoles actually are great👍👍

[@Poppa99]

Bought these at Khols for around $65. I like them a lot. My feet look huge when I wear them with shorts, but what the heck! It appears I got a great pair of boots at a great price.

[@offtrackxplorer]

These are still my primary hiking boot... They are fantastic.

[@Iseekoutthetruth]

Nice Boot, Any Rubbing On The Back Of Your Heel From That Heel Tie?

[@offtrackxplorer]

No, actually feels great. Bit different idea, and I think it works well.

[@MarkWalmsley]

Hello mate. I just bought my first pair of really good boots which are mainly for walking the dog (but likely some hiking in the future) in standard conditions but sometimes its very wet. I went with some Hoka boots which I really liked, they are lightweight and felt amazing, however after under a month of simple dog walking (not even in wet conditions) I noticed they were letting in water from only walking through wet grass about a foot long and also there is a bit of thin material which goes around the lace area with some stitching in the middle, this was cracking in numerous places and I hadnt even used them for anything special. Currently they are on their way back to the shop for a return and I am looking into what boots to get next. I looked at the Salomons you returned as they looked really nice and seem to get good reviews. The others were the Asolo Finders. I am wondering if you have any input into what I should get based on my needs. I want them to look fairly nice since I will be wearing them a lot and the style of the two mentioned fit me well. Both have a two year warranty so that is always good. Also sometimes when I walk the dog in some places it is extremely wet and muddy, only sometimes but still worth mentioning.

[@dusanpetrovic8700]

Good boots, they seem comfy.

[@offtrackxplorer]

Yes, I'm loving these boots... Putting them through hell and they are simply divine. 🙌

[@JohnnyMotel99]

When you see a two tone sole, you can almost guarantee it will delaminate where the different materials meet. I had a pair of two year old targhee 3, they failed, took them back to the store for full refund. Seems Keen have a no questions policy on refunding delaminate soles.

[@offtrackxplorer]

Yes, you're absolutely correct! However, I'm now using the Keen Targhee IV boots and they guarantee no delamination on those, due to different method of 'fusing' the upper and the sole together.

[@MattHikesHills]

Very very comfortable but they fell apart within 8 months. Both sides on both feet were coming away from the sole. Shame as they look great and the most comfortable boots i've owned. I think their Ridge Flex boots were designed to fix my issues so i think i'll try them.

[@offtrackxplorer]

Hmm, that's a shame. Mine are yet to show any signs of failing despite absolutely tough terrains - but then again, I've only had them for two months. So I will see - but for $137, I can't complain. I took a close look at the Ridge Flex version but I was apprehensive as that flex part seemed to be a weak point for me, as in, they might become brittle or easily pierced or punctured where I hike.

[@joeldelaney5769]

Any update on how they are holding up for you?

[@Cordo.Z67]

Great review! How few months later, how are they holding up?

[@offtrackxplorer]

They are holding up really good still... And I put these through hell. 👍

[@Cordo.Z67]

Thats great to hear! I recently purchased some lowa renegade gtx boots and they are great, you should definitely check them out 👍

[@Carmelov2012]

Got these for 60 at Sierra and must say the build quality looks great. I won’t be hiking in these lol these will be for work but I need comfy boots that are rugged enough to go threw some muf

[@stability703]

True to size?

[@Carmelov2012]

@@stability703 they run a tad big but I don’t mind because I have wide feet and they feel great all day. And now that I have gotten the chance to break them in omg probably one of the most comfortable all day boots 🥾 I’ve own .

[@vans2548]

Hey man, wondering how these are holding up after all this time, and also are these the made in Cambodia version or elsewhere? Wondering about the longevity of these. Cheers and thanks for the detailed review!

[@pounc3r782]

Have you any experience with Merrell MOABs? Deciding between this and the MOAB 3 Mid

[@offtrackxplorer]

I don't know about the Moabs... However these Keen boots are excellent, however they lasted me only 15 months of rugged use before the soles delaminated on my last big multi day hike. I've recently begun using the Keen Targhee IV Boots.... Simply the best and ultra comfortable! Additionally, thry are also guaranteed by Keen not to delaminate between Sole and shoe. Just thought I'd mention it if you're looking into hiking boots.

[@gotsouced4943]

I know I'm leery on buying another targhee 3 because in few monthe ob both shoes rubber started to peel off had to glue. These look like a better option shoebacca has them for 89$

[@quintonwilson3127]

I like mine

[@mrserkoz]

How do these stack up to the Keen Targhee IV?

[@ianbrowne9304]

thank you ---- interesting ; why are your soles (slightly) different to mine ? IMO the soles (I have) are bloody useless even for a 71 year old flat ground walker . I have the some soles on my ''Keen Men's Targhee III Oxford Low Hiking Shoes Dark Earth Mulch'' ; 2 pairs in 2-3 years !! KEEN have sent me a free ''good will" pair. My boots are 1/2 worn out at only around 12months old . Remember , I can wear only one pair at a time and most of my time is spent on the computer (photography) However ; KEEN are the most comfortable foot wear for my rather broad feet I have had for many a year. I was really hoping these would be last bush shoes/boots I need to buy . I often feel those reviewing shoes should have some sort of a sole testing ; or better still , manufacturers should have a sole wear scale . Any tips or advice would be appreciated from anyone .

[@offtrackxplorer]

Sorry, I wouldn't know why yours have different soles... That is very odd. All I can say is that mine have been through hiking hell and they are still going strong.. At this rate I can easily expect another 2-3 years out of these. Sorry to hear about your experience.

[@ianbrowne9304]

@@offtrackxplorer Thank you for replying :) Can you point me towards any other outdoor foot wear in a similar shape to KEEN that I really like . Happy wandering

[@offtrackxplorer]

Well, personally, I'm looking for good value for money and the boots I'll be looking at next are the Keen Pyrenees (www.amazon.com.au/KEEN-Mens-Pyrenees-m-Hiking-Syrup/dp/B0035F896O?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=ANEGB3WVEVKZB) and also the Merrell Moab 3 Mid Wides (www.merrellaustralia.com.au/products/moab-3-mid-gtx-earth-earth?ref=G1l5x6). Hope that helps!

@@offtrackxplorer Thank you ever so much! Very appreciated to get some honest no BS advice :) Stay safe while wandering

[@JohnnyMotel99]

I had the targhee 3 Oxford too, soles delaminated after a couple of years. Keen refunded in full. If you want a sole that lasts longer look for one that has been fused to mid sole. Targhee 4 has this sole.

[@kawasakiahmedahmed7306]

Mind blowing...

Very nice, mate! So much time and soul invested in this video! Though the german brands like Meindl, Lowa, Hanwag, Haix tend to last much longer than american Keen... Thanks, bro!

Thanks, appreciated!

I have a pair of these. Mine were great until the sole came unglued after about a year of wearing. Keen replaced them for me, though.

These are $135 on the official KEEN website.
