Description of Vented Low-Cut Hiking Shoe For Women: KEEN Nxis Speed

.

Speed hiking isn’t about going fast. It’s about experiencing more things. The terrain encountered is more varied – asphalt to trail to stream to stone steps. So we took the room-for-your-toes comfort, protection, and stability of our iconic hiker and gave it a running shoe feel. The NXIS Speed hiking shoes for women are built off KEEN's traditional wider footwear form. KEEN products are consciously created using PFC-free water repellent (in applicable styles) and leather sourced from Leather Working Group (LWG)-certified tanneries. KEEN makes shoes to make a difference. As a brand born for life outside, KEEN has a responsibility to protect and conserve the places where all people live, play and work with no ceiling. KEEN is committed to ensuring our products are free from manufacturing and material defects for one full year from the day you buy it from an authorized KEEN reseller. Some limitations apply.

sleeper hiking shoe!

i have some Keen work boots that i love, and the wife loves these! she said they're super comfy and look good with anything she has to wear. great support and she said she felt very secure in her foot placement. Keen is notorious for being pricey, but i have yet to meet someone that has said they're too expensive for what you get. well worth it in my books!

Pros
  • I have severely arthritic feet. Keen are the only shoes I wear.
Cons
  • I have wore keens my whole life and unfortunately these are very uncomfortable

Comfort and Quality - Order Normal Size

I'm a person who needs toe room, and so many shoes in this category do not provide that.I went up a half size, and wish I hadn't. They would fit perfectly in my normal size, 7.5. A half size up, and have a bit too much room laterally, and I have a slightly wide foot.That being said, they are wonderful! Keen is in my top three favorite brands, and they have not disappointed with this style.Using these in my Summer landscaping business, on my feet for hours, up and down hillsides. I appreciate…

Pros
  • Shoes
Cons
  • The sizing runs small and can cause discomfort

👟All Day Comfortable Tennis Shoes!👟

I really love these sneakers they are so comfortable.I am not the type to wear sneakers but i made an exception for these. I wear them every day to work in. I didnt have to get extra comfort for the bottom because they are perfect just the way their made. They fit as expected so dont buy to Small or to Big.👟 Buy Your Shoe Size.👟Definately recommend this Item!Thank You&&God Bless

Pros
  • The KEEN Nxis Speed is a stylish and modern hiking shoe that will turn heads on the trails
Cons
  • The shoe lacks sufficient cushioning, which can cause foot fatigue

Not Waterproof, But Otherwise Great Hiking Shoe (5- Stars)

I love Keen hiking shoes, and while I'd prefer a waterproof shoe, this Nxis Speed version is sturdy, supportive, and comfortable. The rugged toe cap should last longer than the covered plastic of my waterproof pair, which scraped off to show the white plastic underneath during a hike. I love that I put these on my feet and wore them for an entire day, with no break-in period needed.Because I am between sizes, depending on brand and type of shoe, I went with the larger 9 as I do with most Keen…

Pros
  • Outdoor
Cons
  • The shoe is expensive compared to similar options on the market

Great shoe good for me

I got the KEEN Women's Nxis Speed Low Height Vented Hiking Shoe in 7.5, Vapor/Porcelain. I normally wear a 7.5 and this shoe fits true to size. I have narrow heels, but have had no issues with slipping. The laces can be tightened quite a bit, which is nice. (The tongue on the right shoe does sometimes have to be adjusted to fit nicely against my foot.)These are comfortable to wear. I could use more arch support (I have high arches), but that is better than a shoe with arch support in the wrong…

Pros
  • Hiking & Trekking
Cons
  • The shoe lacks depth, which can be uncomfortable for those with wider feet

Very Comfortable, Supportive & True to Size

These are very comfortable hiking shoes – kind of like a souped-up walking shoe. They have really good support, removable insoles if you need a different type, great traction & they are not hot. They are lightweight & ready to go right out of the box. These would also make a good daily walking shoe, especially if you like extra stability/traction.

Pros
  • Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry
Cons
  • The shoe is not suitable for rocky terrain

lightweight and comfortable

- good for hiking as inside has good cushion and feels comfortable- good traction and lightweight- well made- it is water resistant and not completely water proof- quality looks good to me

Pros
  • The low-cut design provides freedom of movement without sacrificing ankle support, making it a versatile shoe for any terrain
Cons
  • The shoe lacks proper traction, making it difficult to grip slippery surfaces

comfy shoes and great for boys who can't wear Men's shoes yet

My teenage boy was needing some new shoes but has small feet. The smallest Men's size 7 was still too big, but he didn't want kids shoes that have velcro. Thankfully the black shoes look just like the men's shoes that he liked and fit perfect. The shoes are nice and cushioned. The shoes are also very breathable since they are not waterproof.

Pros
  • The eco-friendly materials used in the construction of the KEEN Nxis Speed make it a sustainable and responsible choice for conscious consumers
Cons
  • The insole is not removable, preventing customization

Love these shoes best in my review

KEEN is definitely great in building heavy duty shoes, so I was glad to find these hiking shoes. KEEN product quality is definitely up to the highest standards, so I am not worried about the durability at all. The shoes are very comfy and feel great on the feet. They are relatively soft, so they are good not just for hiking but also for regular walking. The sole has a very solid traction, so hiking on mountains is not a problem. My only concern that the grey color (which I actually picked) may…

Pros
  • The lace-up closure allows for a customized and secure fit, so you can hike with confidence
Cons
  • The shoe lacks shock absorption, which can be painful over long hikes

Hiking ready: my feedback

I went on a hike in the Rockies with no hiking shoes and 100% regretted it. I decided to get these for our next trip in March. I’ve been wearing them around everywhere to get my feet used to them, even ran with them on while on my treadmill and they are comfortable! I plan to wear thick socks with them on my hike so I tried it out and they seemed to be comfortable enough to do so.

Pros
  • Women
Cons
  • The rubber sole wears out quickly and needs frequent replacement

GREAT shoe! good for me

Super comfortable hiking shoe. So glad I decided to give it a try! There was no "breaking in" period and it provided a ton of sole support. I've used Merrels and Timberlands in the past but had not tried Keens. These are highly recommended. I actually seized up a half size after one bad hiking experience at Mt. Rainier and now I like to have a little extra room in my hiking shoes. These are perfect. Amy

Pros
  • The KEEN Nxis Speed is designed specifically for women, so you can enjoy a shoe that fits your unique foot shape and size perfectly
Cons
  • The branding is too prominent and can be distracting

My son took these for his own shoes. He says they are very comfortable and fit his men's size 6.5 feet well. They are durably made, but seem to run a touch on the small side which isn't uncommon from what I have seen from shoe brands. My wife would need a 8.5 to be comfortable in these which were women's size 8. These are awesome if not being a touch small though and not a loss because my son likes them and wears them.

Pros
  • The reinforced toe and heel provide extra protection and durability, ensuring that your feet are safe from impact and wear and tear
Cons
  • The shoe does not have a reinforced toe cap, which can be dangerous on rugged terrain

These shoes are surprisingly lightweight (about 1.5 pounds for the pair). The soles are pretty flexible and feel more like I'm walking in sneakers than hiking boots. On steep rocky trails, I prefer more stable hiking boots, but these shoes are great for walking around town. The hybrid lug pattern works well on both pavement and dirt and should be more durable than the flimsy knob lugs that Keen uses on some of its hiking shoes. Fit is perfect for the size. My only complaint is the soles are…

Pros
  • The vibrant colors and patterns make the KEEN Nxis Speed a fun and unique addition to your hiking gear
Cons
  • The color options are limited

Comfortable - my new review

I have only worn them a couple times so far, but they are comfortable, fit well, and I like the way they look. Thanks for attention!

Pros
  • The non-slip sole provides excellent traction, even on wet or uneven surfaces
Cons
  • The shoe lacks durability and cannot withstand heavy usage

Comfortable and Well Constructed

These shoes are one of the most comfortable walkers I've ever owned. I'd give them 5 stars but the shoe laces are dreadful. They simply don't stay tied. It's a pain to buy new laces or double knot the ones they come with. Otherwise they are perfect - well constructed and attractive.

Pros
  • The overall design of the KEEN Nxis Speed is sleek and streamlined, so you can enjoy the benefits of a hiking shoe without sacrificing style
Cons
  • The shoe is too narrow for those with wider toes

Great shoes: my feedback

I have to admit that these are not shoes that I would have bought if I had tried them on in a store. They were uncomfortable at first because it felt like there was a hard diagonal ridge in the insoles. By the end of their first three mile walk that had disappeared. Now they feel great on my feet and are one of the most comfortable pairs of shoes that I own. They have a thick, deep tread so they should last. The fit is as expected. These shoes are also available as boots.

Pros
  • The cushioned footbed provides all-day comfort and support, reducing foot fatigue and preventing blisters
Cons
  • The shoe is not suitable for cold weather hiking

Comfortable and durable

I bought these for a fall trip to Boston and have been really happy with them. They're comfortable on pavement and also on hiking trails. They are holding up nicely.

Pros
  • The durable construction means that the KEEN Nxis Speed will last for many hiking adventures to come
Cons
  • The shoe requires a long breaking-in period to be comfortable

Fit as expected; very comfortable.

Keen shoes are a go-to for reliability and durability in hiking and active leisure footwear. These fit as expected and are quite comfortable for day hiking.or running errands.

Pros
  • Bought these shoes to hike in Italy and Spain! Perfect!!
Cons
  • The ventilation holes are not large enough to provide adequate airflow

Great Casual Hiker: my feedback

This is a good fit and a lightweight quality hiking shoe for the casual hiker. Pretty much great anywhere in Florida but you may want to look for more stability if you’re doing some serious mountain hiking. However, for the laid-back hike, this is a great shoe to have. True to size too. Recommend.

Pros
  • womens
Cons
  • The mesh material on the shoe can easily tear
