KEEN Logan Mid Hiking Boot - Women's

Active Junky Badass Gear Winner

The fit, comfort and easy lacing stand in contrast to this model’s toothy traction as demonstrated in Utah and beyond. Growl when you wear it.

Field Notes: Tested on backpacking trips in Canyonlands, day hikes in Arches and muddy slogs back in the Pacific Northwest, the Keen Logan emerged as a clear winner in the women’s category. 

Pros: These Keen hiking boots are comfortable from first lacing, particularly for testers with narrow feet. Testers hit the trail hard in these boots, encouraged by the shock-absorbing PU midsole and heel cushion, snug heel fit, a protective rubber toe cap and waterproof KEEN.DRY membrane. The TPU shank added noticeable support on multi-day backpacking trips.

Cons: Definitely favors a narrower foot. Width aside, testers found no faults apart from the styling that stands out off the trail. Active Junky let it go as Keen Logan Mid fit, felt comfortable and inspired wearers to crush mile and mile of tough terrain.

Favorite Feature: The toe box is wrapped in protective rubber to minimize stubbed toes on off-trail slickrock scrambles. This rubber flows into the solid midsole, adding to the stability and notable durability. 

Tester Quote: “Wow, these were so comfortable. I had zero sore spots after my first 3-day backpacking trip in these (which is somewhat of an anomaly) -- they’ve only been getting more comfortable as they get worn in. Also, the traction was better than any other boot I tested. They’re light enough for short mellow trails, rugged enough for longer backpacking trips.” 

Bottom line: One of the top women’s boots we’ve ever laced up. Testers grew more enthused with every step. A smart purchase that serves you well in a variety of scenarios.
