One of the best pair of water shoes ever! I got to put the river boot to the test last week. They were the best ever. We hiked through a stone creek bed and they had great traction! We also hit some dry trails and the boots were comfortable and lightweight. KEEN does it again!

Perfect !!!! I needed a water shoe for white water rafting and these are perfect. Won't slip off, light weight, and they will keep my feet warm.

Good Water Shoe Depending on Surface You're Walking Over I'm not going to sugar coat this as I'm still looking for the perfect shoe that will accommodate all my requirements for all water activities including river running, canyoneering, wet wading/fly fishing. The good...great fit, protective toe, warm, comfortable, good traction on dry surfaces, good on wet surfaces with zero growth, good loops for attaching to backpack. I've worn them both with and without booties and both experiences were positive. The bad, my experience on rocks with any amount of moss or growth even small amounts was challenging with a low center of gravity being the operative word. Shoes I've tried in the past include the Nike ACG Toketee(why they stopped making these I don't know, these were great water shoes, though a stronger toe guard would have perfected it),Salomon Techamphibian(lighter weight than the Keens, slighly worse traction overall, equally or slightly worse in water with any growth, better traction in muddy environments as the sole is more nobby like a hiking shoe, comparable in dry environs...where as the keen is pretty smooth, no nobs and has the super smooth "aquastop" section around the big toe area which sticks to most things not mud or growth). I've tried Numerous fly fishing boots with felt soles, felts soles with studs and the biggest gripe on these is they are too freaking bulky and one dimensional and don't always work. When one of you comes up with the super shoe that can stick to rocks like low end velcro but still lift up and avoids puncturing a raft, let me know.

VERY well made I wear these while whitewater kayaking and have been very impressed with their traction on mossy rocks, comfort, and quality of construcion. It takes them a good 24 hours to dry completely but I can't think of anything that would make these any better. They seem to run at least a full size small if not a size and a half. I have a high instep and have been very happy with their adjustability as well. Great shoe, great price.
