Good but could be better
The shoe is true to size but a little wide in the heel. I had to put a liner in to make it stable and that wasn't perfect. The toe bed is roomy and comfortable. I have other keen shoes. Compared to them the Voyageur's heel seems high. The shoe is a bit stiff but I suspect it will get more flexible after several uses like the other keen shoes I've experienced.

Really Comfortable
I went on a monthly camping and hiking trip in August. Though not the first time for me to hike, it was the first time for me to hike 30 days in a row! These hiking shoes never made my feet hurt once, and we are talking about half dome in Yosemite! I had to get used to the wide shape of the shoes at first, but overall, I have no complains. They definitely stood the test!

a second pair
The voyager is an excellent light hiking shoe. We walked across the highlands of Scotland and had no problem. We recommend the shoe and the West Highland way hike of 95 miles.

Awesome shoes!
I love my Keens! This is my third pair of Voyageurs. I can wear these for just about anything-from hiking to casual and everything in between. These tend to run a little bigger than most Keens so I order a half size smaller and they are perfect!

Love Love Love
I'm new to hiking so didn't have a clue what to look for in a hiking shoe but I knew I wanted something lightweight and comfortable. After reviewing all the previous reviews on this shoe as well as a ton of other shoes I decided to order Voyageur shoes and I'm so happy I did. Just as other reviewers have said, there's no break in needed with these shoes. The first day I received them I wore them for 5 hours without any problems. They are so comfortable. I ordered 1/2 size up from my normal size and they fit perfect. Love the wide toe box since I have wide feet. I love the look of the shoe too and the quality is excellent. Overall I'm very happy with my purchase and it was a breeze ordering through Altrec. The order was processed quickly and I received them within a couple of days of the order. Thank you Altrec!!

Cool hiking shoe
I buy a pair of voyageur every summer for hiking. They breathe well and look cool. Have sturdy heal and good support. I wear a 7 1/2 and size up to an 8.
April 26, 2011
comfy
These hikers are mega comfy. I wear a 71/2 and they fit true to size. They are not waterproof, but dry very quickly. They did not require break in time. I wore them right on the trail out of the box. I've received many compliments on them. Very cute.

Great shoes!
I love Keens and recently ordered these shoes to take to Asia. I need good arch support for my old feet ( well, middle aged feet) and didn't want anything too heavy to wear or to pack. I love these shoes. They felt great right away and don't rub against my heel like many new shoes do. I also like the color although it is more grey than black.
March 28, 2011
best hiking shoes I've worn
These shoes were comfortable from the first wearing, no breaking in necessary. There's plenty of toe room and my foot didn't slide forward due to the arch support and lacing. True to size with room for heavy socks without feeling snug. These are my new favorite shoes!
March 23, 2011
Great all around sports shoe
This is a great shoe for almost anything. For me, I love the shock absorption. Wears well and so comfortable. Only thing disappointed with was the color. It looked very different on line.
March 21, 2011
Very good purchase
First time purchasing Keen products. These shoes are very comfortable. I ordered the same size I wear in other brands of shoes. The reviews I read said to order 1/2 size bigger than normal but that would have been to big for me. I hike alot and these shoes are going to be great for that. I will purchase more Keen products.
March 20, 2011
Good shoe
I bought this shoe because I work outside on my feet. These shoes are very comfortable. I have another pair of Keens which have been great. I ordered the same size when I ordered this pair, but they run a bit larger than the last pair I have. Otherwise, they are perfect!
March 15, 2011
Great shoes-great fit!
I ordered these in a women's 10.5 because I always order my running shoes one half to one full size larger. The 10.5 was a little too long so I ordered a 10 (my regular shoe size) and those fit fine. I even tried these out for a 20 minute walk on my treadmill and then a 10 minute jog. Next, I put booties over the shoes (just incase I had to return them) and walked down a very steep 1/4 mile driveway and back up again (the ultimate test!) These feel great in the arch and nice and roomy in the toe-box without allowing your foot to slip around. These will be fine for day hikes on trails and general schlepping around town on my travels abroad. LOVE these shoes.
March 10, 2011
My second pair!
I'd had my first pair of Keens for three years when our neighbor dog took one away. Wah!!! I hike in a mountainous area almost daily, so I need tough shoes. These Keens were my favorite, most comfortable hiking shoes! I immediately went online to order another pair.
March 2, 2011
excellent trail shoe
So far they are well fitting and durable. Have used for winter hiking and snowshoeing with gaiters. Good traction on snow and ice. Comfortable with wide toe box.
February 22, 2011
great hiking shoe
Super comfy while hiking, good foot support. The toe area is a little wide for my narrow feet but otherwise an excellent shoe.
January 3, 2011
Great Shoe
This is my third pair of Keen Voyagers. I work in retail and am on my feet 10-12 hours a day 5-6 days a week. I have not found a shoe that stands up to the wear and tear of concrete like the Voyager. Most shoes I am lucky to get 3-6 months wear out of, my last two pairs lasted almost 11 months.
The shoe is very comfortable and has nice arch support, I have flat feet so this is very important to me. It seems to run a bit large but not enought to more down in size. I wear a 7.5 and that is what I ordered.
The shoe also had good ventilation but is not waterproof, which is probably why it has good ventilation.
December 14, 2010
Love the shoes. I was worried about wearing them hiking without wearing them in but they felt great from the box directly to the trail!
November 29, 2010
Great Summer/Dessert Shoe
The Voyageur has a fit just like Keen's Targhee II - wide & comfortable toe box. This shoe is not waterproof BUT it is more breathable than the Targhee II. Great for hiking in the southwest where it is often hot and dry. The aggressive sole on is one of the best features. This shoe (and the Targhee II) has the absolute best traction for hiking and climbing all over rocks in Bryce, Zion, Arches etc. (My husband and I joke that they are made with "really sticky" rubber) It has excellent side to side stability making climbing on unstable terrain much easier. I've worn these shoes on all day hikes with no blisters or soreness at all.
Buy the Voyageur for summer and/or hot dry climates and the Targhee II for wet or snowy areas. Although I have worn the Targhee II all day in the stinking hot dessert and it is fine too.
** odd thing - for the Targhee II I have to order 1/2 size larger. For the Voyageur I ordered my true size.
LOVE BOTH of these shoes. Buy a pair of each!
November 27, 2010
Awesome Shoe, Buying Second Pair!
I bought these shoes several years ago and have been able to utilize them every season. They're very comfortable, highly breathable and extremely durable. I haven't been able to find another pair that I like as well these. I hike in them in the summer/fall and wear them to the mountain throughout the winter. Truly a great product- love Keens!
November 23, 2010
love these shoes
I absolutely love the shoes. Well worth the money. Very stylish and comfortable.
November 14, 2010
Comfortable
This is a comfortable hiking shoe but does not keep out any wetness from the grass. Good news though, they dry fast. They do run a bit wider compared to other brands.

Women's Voyageur Hiking Shoe, Keen
This is the 2nd pair of Keen hiking shoes that I own. I wore the 1st pair everyday hiking up and down a steep canyon trail twice a day for almost 3 years. They served me very well so I got the 2nd pair. It looks like the great performance will repeat itself.
October 15, 2010
keen is the best
Used it for the first time last week hiking in Yellowstone and Grand Teton and it was comfortable.I didn't have to break it in.This is my third Keen shoes so i know it was a quality buy.Am planning to buy Keen shoes for my kids as well.
October 1, 2010
Comfortable Shoe
This shoe was comfortable from the start.
August 11, 2010
Overall Fantastic Shoe
I have super wide feet and these Keen Voyagers are the only shoe that I can wear for long periods of time. I use them for hiking, small walks, beach walks and for general purposes. They have been worn daily since taking them out of the box, with absolutely no break-in period needed. My first pair (Voyager mid-top) is still a bit tight even though I ordered a 9.5 (l/2 size larger)....the new low top Keen Voyager is a much looser fit (size 9.5) and is extremely comfortable. I am an absolute fan of these shoes, and cannot say enough good about them! Thank you.
August 10, 2010
Keen Voyager Low Top Hiker
Fantastic shoe, no break-in period needed. I have very wide feet (bunion included) and these are the only shoes that fit! My last pair was a size 9.5 mid-top.....they are a bit tighter fit than these. The new low tops are wider (also size 9.5) and a better fit all around. I am an avid hiker and they have been used every day, right out of the box with no issues whatsoever. I guess I am a huge fan and really believe in the quality of these shoes! The KEEN VOYAGER is a great shoe......
August 10, 2010
Great shoe.
A great shoe. I really like it because of the wide toe. I found it to be true to size. Great for walking. Very Comfortable.
August 9, 2010
Nice wide toe box, good arch support.
I have been wearing casual hiking shoes that hurt when I went down hill, and these shoes are great in that they don't mash my toes. The insole is very cushioney and there was no breaking in period. I would recommend them to anyone.
August 3, 2010
Great Shoe!
I purchased a half size larger than I usually wear (as suggested by others) and the shoes fit perfectly. Moreover, there was no break-in period and thus no blisters the first time I wore the shoes on a long, hilly walk. The Keen Voyageur Rocks!
July 30, 2010
Good product
Altrec ships fast and the shoes are at a great price, really like the look and feel. Have yet to wear them for a hike but I'm sure they'll be great!
July 29, 2010
Great support
I have chronic pain in my feet and KEENs are the only brand I buy now. The extra room in the toe box allows my toes to spread out for extra balance, and the stiff soles add extra protection from rocks and feel really stable no matter where I am. I wear them to work, to the gym, walking the dog, and on hikes. All around great shoe!
July 22, 2010
Finally a great fit and look!
As true with all Keens, a great fit and look. I have been wearing Keen Targhees as my main shoe, but now this is the first pair of shoes that I reach for each day. I am very pleased with my new purchase.
June 18, 2010
Wonderful shoes for the trail and road.Happy with my purchase.
I have been looking for comfortable light waterproof shoes. I walk/hike in all kinds of weather and I have not been disappointed. People have NEVER commented me on my shoes and I am often asked where I got them and who manufactured them. They provide good support and the round toe box helps coming down steep inclines.Great traction on wet surfaces and I am in love with my new buddy. I wear a 9M and a 9 fits fine with ample room in the toe box.
May 31, 2010
They just look cool!
I took forever to decide on a new pair of hiking boots for our 2 week trip out West. I choose the Keen Voyageurs. I love them! They feel good on my arch and they also feel very sturdy, I don't feel like they are going to fall apart or wear down. Very happy with my purchase!
May 21, 2010
Awesome fit and comfort!
Been wearing these shoes for 3 days straight around the house, shopping, gardening. No rubbing, blisters, just pure comfort. Gonna buy some for my man! If you need width, these are the shoes for you.
May 11, 2010
I am the Keen Queen and these are just new jewels in my crown.
Would love to wear these everywhere but they don't go with my dressier clothes. I smile all the while I wear them 'cause my feet are happy. Great fit, great support and they don't look bad either. So-o-o glad I got 'em.
May 9, 2010
These are great!!
I've had the Keen Voyageur Mid Hiking Shoe for a couple of years & they've been comfortable since the day I put them on my feet & still look great after considerable wear. However, in the desert in the summer, they started to feel heavy & my feet need air, so I got these as my summer pair & they're also extremely comfortable & look great - I love the color! I'm a huge Keen fan!!!!
May 6, 2010
Love these shoes!
These are the best hiking shoes I've ever owned. They are light-weight and extremely comfortable. I'd wear them to bed if I could
April 25, 2010
best shoes ever!
These hiking shoes are so incredibly comfortable, they look so awesome, and the fit is true to size. I'm thrilled with them & can't wait to go hiking!
April 22, 2010
love 'em
They are comfortable right from the box. I found them maybe a bit short in my regular size but the 1/2 size up was too big. They are rather wide especially in the toe area but have a comfortable arch. It is difficult to tailor where you want the laces to tighten if you want to adjust fit that way.
April 15, 2010
Keen Women's Hiking Shoe
I love these shoes! They were a little stiff at first, but now that I have broken them in, they are great support. I work on concrete all day and tennis shoes would break down too easily. My last Keen shoes are still in great shape after almost a year, and I feel certain these will last me even longer. Thanks for a great transaction and will keep you on my list for future Keen purchases.
April 2, 2010
I love these Keen Voyageurs
I ordered up a half size as always with Keen. My husband bought a pair of these shoes and I liked the way they looked so much that I had to have a pair for myself. I own two other pair of Keens and these are just a comfortable as the ones I've had for years. I look forward to getting lots of use out of them.
February 18, 2010
Great shoe!!
This shoe is very very comfortable! I would recommend it to anyone. Grips well and I just love them!!!
February 9, 2010
great boots
love these boots, it did take me a couple of wearings to adjust even though I have worn keen shoes before. Also a little larger than my regular size, but perfect for hikers who wear 2 pair of socks and need the extra room for feet to expand while hiking
February 8, 2010
great shoe
Couldn't believe how comfortable these were right out of the box! I have wide feet- I ordered up a half size as others have said to do and _ PERFECT! No pinching or constriction. Nicest hikers i have ever had.
January 31, 2010
Love this shoe!
Awesomely! comfortable! No break in period - you can wear them straight out of the box!
January 26, 2010
Great hiking shoe!!!!
I love this shoe! I'm fairly new to hiking and I love this shoe! In terms of ordering.. I kept hearing that you should order a size bigger with this shoe, so I did and had to return it. I then ordered the size I would typically wear and it fits perfect! I would order the size you usually wear and you should be fine! Great, great shoe for the price and this site had it the cheapest as well! Of course... I spent hours making sure! : )
January 26, 2010
Great shoe
I took my Keen voyageur right out of the box and started wearing them, they are so comfortable. I ordered a half size larger, but returned them, they were too big. I have always worn Merrell, but decided to try these, I am so glad that I did. Great shoe, great service from Altrec.
January 16, 2010
Voyageur's and Targhee's
These shoes look great on. I already own a pair of the Keen Targhee's, which fit my narrowish foot perfectly, so I was disappointed to find that the Voyageur's run larger in width and length, in comparison. They are a lower priced model, and you definitely get fewer bells and whistles, like less cushioning and comfort. I would recommend spending a little more and upgrading to the Targhee's. The only real downfall with Keen shoes is that they do not have a non-slip sole. Wear them at your own risk on slippery surfaces!
December 28, 2009
Great Service on a Great Shoe!
Altrec was the best price and we received it in just 3 days from order.
December 23, 2009
Just What I Was Looking For
Tried a few other shoes but none were as comfortable as these. I walk 3 - 5 miles on cross-country trails and roads & need something sturdy but with plenty of toe room. These are perfect - I plan to order another pair!
December 12, 2009
St. Voyageur-patron saint of arthritic feet...
Can't say enough good things about the shoes. I destroy shoes quickly, but these have held up great and have been oh so kind to my rheumatiod dogs that I now where them for long hours on emergency shifts. Ginormous toe box, great arch support and light weight all balance perfectly. Dog bless my Keens. Dr. Kim
October 28, 2009
Great Hiking Shoe!
I bought these to wear to work for the winter. I have to go on field calls occasionally and these Keen Voyageurs are perfect for in the casual office and out in the field. Keens tend to run a bit wider than other women's hiking shoes and boots for which I am very grateful. I usually wear a 6 or 6.5 wide and the 6's in these fit me just right. They are quite comfortable right out of the box and take very little breaking in.
October 27, 2009
Love Them!
I bought these hiking shoes to take to Ireland, I took them right out of the box put them on and have not wanted to take them off, they are very comfortable. They are very supportive and so stylish! I hope Keen continues to make this style because I will buy another pair, Thanks also to Altrec for the free shipping and fast service!!!
October 17, 2009
A great everyday shoe
I am on my feet all day and have a great deal of difficulty finding casual shoes that feel good all day. From day one these shoes felt great and provided support throughout the footbed like no other shoe. They look good with jeans, casual pants, or shorts. Will buy Keen shoes again before others.
October 13, 2009
love this sneaker
This is my favorite shoe/sneaker. I work in a surgicenter, so am on my feet much of the day and this shoe is attractive, comfortable, and is very supportive (I have flat feet). It needs to be bought a half size larger than your usual size. I am buying extra pairs in case they no longer make this style - that's how good it is. Many of our staff have started buying this sneaker once they tried on this style.
October 9, 2009
Excellent shoes. Very stylish.
These shoes are very comfortable and look great. Perhaps a tad on the heavy side, but overall, great purchase! Much for stylish than regular sneakers, but much more comfortable.
October 9, 2009
great shoe for everyday wear
My everyday shoes used to be New Balance's line of 990s, but in the past year or two, I started to experience knee discomfort and numbness in one of my big toes. I do a lot of walking, and I also noticed that my feet got sore very quickly. I finally determined that my NB running shoes were just not suitable for extended wear (though they are great for running)and I started looking for something a bit more stable. I gravitated towards Keen because I already own two pairs of Keen sandals and a pair of Keen hiking boots. Keen is a great brand (though I wish they didn't manufacture everything in China...)! I usually wear size 7 in athletic shoes and 6 1/2 in dress shoes. The 6 1/2 fits my foot perfectly, though I do wear these with regular socks. I was worried about the stiffness in the beginning. And the laces are a bit difficult to tighten and loosen. But now that I've been wearing them for two weeks, I see that I made a great purchase. They are very comfortable and supportive. And I love that I can wiggle my toes so freely in the wide toe box! My knees and big toe feel much better now.
October 8, 2009
great all-around shoe
All I wear are Keen shoes, so I thought I'd try this model to add to my collection. I love it! It's more sleek than the others I own, which makes it nice to wear to work without looking like a fitness fanatic.
October 2, 2009
great all around shoe
The keen voyageur shoe is my sneaker replacement. Perfect for running errands and in my case, work, which involves quite a bit of walking. It provides much more support than any sneakers I've purchased and it is much more attractive. I have wide, flat feet and these shoes are perfect. I'm normally a small size 8 and I needed an 8.5 in this shoe. I've recommended this shoe to friends, who've purchased them, and are also very pleased. Also, a great shoe for traveling.

Perfect Shoe for A Girl with Issues :)
A year ago I started a job at a state park that would require me to hike, walk, and stand around trails A LOT. I had never bought a hiking shoe before but knew I wanted them to fulfill a few necessities: They have to protect my toes from unexpected bumps in the road a.k.a razor sharp rocks and toe breaking falls; They have to stay on my feet in the event of sliding rocks and river crossings; They have to dry fast; They have to be cute and make my huge 9 1/2 feet look small; They have to breathe because my feet sweat more than they should and it is really hot where I am at; They have to be made well because my feet kill shoes in a short amount of time; They have to come in another color than "dirt"; They have to provide me with arch support that doesn't disappear over time; I know it is a lot to ask but I'd like to put them on and not have to break them in; and They have to be a brand worth wearing. These shoes fulfill ALL of these things and they look like Sketchers for those who care. Five Gold Stars! I am now on my second pair of these Voyager Keens because I like them so much. They lasted one year on my feet wearing them daily. I do have some cons though. If they should get wet the leather dries quickly, gets wrinkled right away, fades and splits from the rubber. It didn't affect the performance of the shoe but it made then look older prematurely. I should have seasoned them immediately. They hold on to dirt that gets in the hard to clean places and the mesh is a pack rat when it comes to clingy itchy seeds from plants. I had to use tweezers and accidentally pulled a few fishing line-like strings. The first thing to go was the lining material in the inside heel of the shoe. I must have rubbed against it so much it just frayed and the foam stuffing came out. It happened after over eleven months of daily use. I think that if I had avoided using them so heavily and in the water at times they would have lasted longer. They also took on the shape of my walk. I am a heavier person with a funny walk so in about nine months my mother (good ol' mom) noticed that the back of my left heel being pressed in a certain direction made my shoe look crooked. I like these shoes and will buy them each year until another pair can prove they're better. I must note that I really bashed the front of my shoes so bad going down a rocky slop with a group that they were so sure I broke an ankle or broke my toes. It was definitely a spinning ballerina moment but the front of the shoes protected my toes from what would have been a toe breaking experience.
July 23, 2009
Great!
These may be my favorite Keen shoes. I could wear them immediately right from the box with no breaking in period. I did order one size larger because I wanted to wear socks with them for hiking. I like the "look" of them too....not as big and bulky as some hiking shoes. I'm sold on Keen shoes!
July 3, 2009
Just what I was looking for
These shoes have been a perfect choice for me. I needed a very solid, stable shoe as I am on my feet all day, up and down ladders, and did not want a boot. They absorb the impact so my feet aren't as tired at the end of the day, and fit very true to size. My only complaint would be the laces are not long enough to double knott, but that can be easily remedied.
May 12, 2009
Love My New Keen Hiking Shoes
Winter was a breeze this year in comfortable, warm, easy on & off boots by Keen. I was so impressed that I purchased a pair of Keen Voyageur hiking shoes and found the same comfort, great fit, and no break in period. Keen is now my favorite brand.
April 17, 2009
ONLY KEEN SHOES ON MY FEET
Right out of the box, I went for a 5 mile walk on pavement. The first half mile, I was having second thoughts about it, but then, like every pair of keen I own, they just became part of my feet. These are a great alternative to the stiffer targhee to give the feet a softer shoe for a change. I have bad feet, and before keen shoes, I could not hike or walk without pain. Keen are the only shoes I wear, period. I have sandals, mary janes, boots, shoes, winter and summer, it is all I will put on my feet. I love my Keens!
February 24, 2009
Like all Keens, consistency in fit and comfort
Love these shoes. I put them on and they fit with great arch support and comfort in the heel. I wore them to work all day the next day with no problems. Lots of compliments on appearance too. I also plan to wear them for daily walks and hiking. One of my many pairs of Keens!
February 21, 2009
Another great Keen
Love this brand. I have walked through 1 pair of Targhee II and well into a second pair--also own a third pair. The first review of the Voyageur talked about the heel being more narrow so I ordered them. Really like them. Also have 3 pairs of the Presido, pair of the mid-high Targhee II, and a pair of sandals. Now I just look for the brand when purchasing shoes! My husband loves the brand, too.
February 9, 2009
Finally, a shoe with a wide enough toebox!
My husband & I are avid hikers, both in Fla. and the mountains of North Carolina. I have wide feet, high arches, and narrow heels. Most shoes have pointed toe boxes, which caused me bruised toes on steep downhill hikes. Buying a larger/wider shoe resulted in sloppiness in the heel area, causing blisters. At the recommendation of a fellow hiker, I tried a pair of Keens on at a shoe store in an upscale resort area, and fell in love with the fit, though not with the high price of $110. I searched and found them on the Altrec site for a reasonable $69.87 (and no shipping charges!). I was glad I had tried them on previously though, as I needed a size 8 rather than my usual size 7 1/2. I ordered them on a Sunday, and was pleasantly suprised when they arrived the following Sat. (No small feat given the distance from Ore. to Fla., and a spate of godawful weather in the northern U.S. at the time.) I wore them on a five-mile hike yesterday, and they were heavenly. It was like walking barefoot, with absolutely no pressure on my toes, yet adequate heel and arch support. I will DEFINITELY be buying Keen again, and from Altrec. I have my eye on a pair of waterproof boots.....
January 19, 2009
Love these shoes!
I have had trouble with plantar fascitis for a few months and needed a shoe with arch and heel support. This shoe has been better than I had hoped for. I would recommend this for anyone doing anything on your feet!
January 12, 2009
Great Hiking Shoe
Went to Ireland and it rained the whole time, didn't fall hiking, great traction and stayed DRY, while the other people had soggy shoes!
October 16, 2008
