Durable, waterproof comfort with the Hightrail Waterproof Hiking Boot for rugged trails and wet conditions
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"This boot blends the lightweight feel of a sneaker with the durability of a hiker. The waterproof membrane keeps my feet dry, and the all-terrain outsole provides excellent grip on steep, rocky trails. I also love the eco-conscious materials—it's a boot I feel good about wearing."
The Men's Hightrail Waterproof Hiking Boot is designed to tackle trails with confidence and comfort. Its KEEN.DRY waterproof membrane keeps our feet dry on rainy hikes and through shallow stream crossings, while the PFAS-free water repellency aligns with eco-conscious values. Built for performance, this boot combines athletic cushioning with rugged durability, offering stability and support on uneven terrain. The KEEN.ALL-TERRAIN outsole delivers reliable grip, and the reinforced toe bumper adds protection against trail debris. With a contoured fit and breathable materials, this boot is as comfortable on fast-paced day hikes as it is on extended treks.

Struggle on declines
This is tough to leave a mediocre review on these boots for me. I love everything Keen for work so I bought these for a hiking trip. They look great and feel great on up hill climbs and flat ground. But on declines the higher heel makes your feet slide even more forward causing your toes to curl in the toe of the shoe. I have tightened the laces as tight as I can and the boots fit my feet great. It’s just on the down hill portions that they aren’t working for me.

All that I hoped for!
I’ve been wearing Keens for years, shoes, sandals, boots, and have appreciated the fit and quality. So it was a no brainer to look to Keens for a trip to Alaska this Summer. I wanted something a little more than a hiking “shoe” and it had to be water proof-they say it rains a lot. The minute I got them on I knew I made the right decision; very comfortable with good support, and good looking , they will serve well as nice casual every day shoes.

Great boot!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These Keen hiking boots are wonderful! Straight out of the box they feel broken in and not tough on my feet. I did get the mens style as I wanted the ankle support and they definitely delivered. Waterproof, comfortable, and surprisingly breathable these are a great addition to my hiking boots collection.

Not as comfy as I would have liked
Been wearing these on and off for about 7 weeks. By the end of the day my back is killing me. I thought it was a break in period. Nope. Wore targhee 2 for many years but wanted to try something different.

Best work boots I have ever had
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a courier for a hospital system, so no real hiking yet. Purchased as a strong, waterproof boot to protect my feet during the 13 hour work day since I am diabetic. The boots are really well made. What surprises me most is how darn comfortable and LIGHT these boots are, almost like wearing nothing at all. I would prefer to wear these all of the time-over tennis shoes I wear when not working. 10000% RECOMMEND!

10/10 perfect outdoor boot
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn’t get to personally try it as it was for men but I got my boyfriend to and he loves them, he feels supported comfortable and he can last all day with them on. He uses the for any outdoor events or when he’s doing heavy duty things and find that they last and he doesn’t have issues with them.
