KEEN Ridge Flex Mid Waterproof Review - There is not much innovation in the boot world so when KEEN released their patent pending KEEN.BELLOWS FLEX it really piqued my interest. They sent me a pair of their Ridge Flex boots to cut in half and take an inside look at how their new tech functions. #HikeHappy #RidgeFlex #OutsideBetter #KEEN

I had Solomon boots for about 2 years and they are destroyed. I have Asolo boots as well and after about 4 years they are still ok. It is true that Solomons are comfortable, but I wouldn't use the word durable to describe them at all. I actually was looking to see if there were any leather boots that would be good for backpacking.

I'd have really appreciated seeing the whole boot disassembled for this model. There are so many different patches of material that may, or may not be multiple layers. The parts that aren't leather (around the heel and toe) are pretty clearly designed to look like they are additional layers, built on top of a leather upper. If they're not, and the leather ends where they're stitched together, I think that would be valuable information to provide.

I’ve owned four pairs of Keen, and love them. Wanted to touch on a couple of things (I wear them to destruction). - They are intended as a hiking boot. Hence the softer rubber (grips over rocks), I don’t see them lasting very long if someone were to use them while working. - I never had failure of the fabric parts, although there was some de-lamination of the black rubber from the foam part of the sole (tho after many many miles and a couple of years of wear). Loved the video

WIDE TOE BOX! YES! I love shoes and boots with a wider toe box but finding them that aren't minimalist is difficult. I've been wearing Lems for a little while and I'm pretty happy with them. I'm still trying to figure out why wider toe boxes aren't industry standard. Why make a shoe that isn't in the natural shape of the foot? Squished toes are very uncomfortable. Thanks for the video, I'll have to check out Keen now.

I have keen flint II for work, by far the most comfy boot I’ve worn, the weakness is the sole, since they’re primarily hiking boots they have a soft rubber that doesn’t last but about 6mo. Of daily use on flat concrete. I will say I’ve ran the front of the boot over with a loaded 2,500 lb. pallet jack and they saved my foot, steel toe was still intact and not bent, and there was only a small tear in the leather but it didn’t affect anything. Pretty good boots

Nice to see a hiker deconstructed! Just like when you compared a bunch of moc toes across brands, you'll find hiking boots to be designed to a different set of requirements than work/fashion boots. As JR mentions in another comment, traction is king, along with waterproof breathability (hence the Goretex-style liner). Mountaineering boots escalate in price along with features like a rigid sole/shank (for mounting cramp-on spikes and other traction equipment), maintaining light weight (for miles of hiking), and preserving comfort while trading off these requirements. Would be great to compare these Keens to Oboz Bridgers (my favorite mid-range hiker) or a more robust mountaineering boot like the La Sportiva Trango GTX.

@Roseanvil , I just had a pair of "expensive" boots with what i found out was a fake stitch after having been on a ski vacation where the temps hit -20 C, and the sole started to detach from the boot. Temps might be a good test for the glue on boots to see if they hold up or if stitching is much more important

If you're interested in my perspective, I think that based on how soft the material is, the outsole is going to wear out long before you can see any real benefit from having the rubber flex points. When it comes to boots like this, it's usually the outsole and the fabric lining on the inside of the boot that fails first, not the creases in the leather. Sure, it might take less muscle in your foot to walk, so that's a plus, but since you can't replace the outsole, the boots will probably last exactly the same amount of time as any other fully-cemented boot. Also, if you take good care of it, leather can last a lifetime, even with the creases. I actually quite like the creasing in my more casual boots as it makes the boots more comfortable and also looks nice in my opinion. They might not be bad boots, but just don't expect any miracles.

Been wearing Keen since 2010, have over 20 pairs, wear a men's 14, 100 % of them fit perfect right out of the box. They tend to stretch out after a couple of years making them too loosie-goosy for hiking after that, no more lateral support, never wearing the same pair twice in any given week. My favorites, the best fitting/wearing they no longer make...Siskiyou and Ericson PCT. Keen! Please bring those both back! I'll buy a dozen each, then you can discontinue them again!!!

They've been through wet rock and scorching asphalt, stopped nails and barbed wire, been in my dog's mouth; and they still look amazing. The only issue I've had is the fishing line of the top seam making a rash against my barefoot, so I need to wear socks or tape that; but I have extremely sensitive skin and I bet most people will be fine. Comfort and durability wise, I can't recomend this brand enough

This looks like a cool idea, but in my experience with boots of this style with the molded on sole, the failure is never where they've put the bellows. The failure is always along the sole at that same flex point at the ball of the foot. Where the leather and rubber meet the section of leather that is glued to the firmer rubber stays stiff and rigid creating a stress point in the much more flexible leather upper which causes it to break down and tear much faster.

500 miles is shockingly low if you're into hiking. My old merrells lasted me thousands and thousands of miles without any issues with the leather. It was glue that eventually deteriorated (10 years down the line that is).

My Merrells lasted me 500-700 miles on the AT. There was some kind of plastic shank in it that cracked.

It s always glue, rubber or plastic that gets bad first on a boot. I think bad decision from Keen to put this rubber strip

You can't compare one shoe model's advertised lifespan with the actual number of miles you got out of a specific pair of shoes (from another brand and model). You need to compare the advertised durability of the Merrell model you had, with the advertised durability of these Keen's OR use both models until they break and compare the actual number of miles you got out of both of them. The fact that Keen feels confident to say that this model will last for 500 miles, does NOT mean that the specific pair you buy can't last longer. They may very well last longer than your Merrell boots. You don't know that, I don't know that, and Keen don't know that. Please note: I have never tried a pair of Keen boots and my current boots are actually a pair of Merrells, so I'm not trying to defend Keen. I'm simply pointing out your argumental fallacy.

Hey, when you do the opening portion of the video, do you think you can provide some grass roots background on the shoe company, like where they started and how long they have been around.

I had a pair of Koflach boots with a bellows toe section like that, in 1986 ... There's nothing new except what has been forgotten

@Rose Anvil hey I recently had the idea of putting automobile rubber conditioner for boot outsoles. I'm wondering if actually elongates the lifespan of outsoles. I think it would be a great experiment to do!

For a modern work boot to review, you might want to look into Haix. They're a German brand that caters mostly to emergency services and the logging industry, but I have a pair of composite toe boots from then that are very innovative compared to any of my other work boots (Red Wings and Thorogoods, plus lots of cheap brands over the years).

I absolutely love my Portland's from keen. They are the first gen of the keen bellows. I have had them for a year and between the flex and the carbon fiber toe, they are sooo comfortable. And vary durable. They have held up to nearly a year of daily wear on a construction site with plenty of life left.

My only problem is the flex part doesn't insulate as well in the winter.

While I watch the video it looks like the newer models may account for the insulation problem with the backing.

To address his problem with the liner, they are sooo warm in the winter. Not counting the flex. But I have found that the man made materials hold up vary well. They also have many other models that I have worn over the last 4 years or so. As well as their other shoes, and I have found that their shoes last a vary long time. Their isn't a lot to them to go wrong. Ps their materials are mostly ethically sourced and environmentally friendly.

It’s a niche market but I did a lot of mountaineering, ice climbing etc. Back in the day. I’d be interested in seeing some La Sportiva, Scarpa, or Asolo boots cut in half.
