KEEN Women's Circadia WP Mid Boot

This is my second pair of keen boots and while I love the fit around my foot, the fit around the ankle is extremely painful. I wear size 11. When the boots arrived they were tightly packed in a box that honestly seemed too small to hold the boots. The ankle areas were compressed (folded in half) so badly that even after a week of trying to stretch it open (by placing a mason jar inside) they still continue to squeeze my leg causing painful rubbing against the bone of my ankle. Very, very stiff. I'm hoping in time and with leather conditioner they will relax enough so I can wear them. I love the fit around the foot. Very roomy in the toe area.

Very disappointing I have worn Vasque boots for years but when the latest iteration of my St Elias boots changed the last to a narrower fit, I decided to try Keens. In 9 months the soles were pulling off and the rubber was cracking. The out sole was way more worn than it should have been in that short time. I'm not a hard core hiker. But these were my winter shoe and I do walk almost every day year round. Although they were comfortable out of the box they just didn't hold up. Spend a little more and get a better boot. Fortunately Keen was very fair with their warranty and I was able to replace them with a much better boot.
