I have rather wide feet. I’m from and live in the U.K., where, as children, we all wear uniforms to school. And that includes shoes. Whenever I went to get my feet measured for school shoes as a kid, the sales assistants always commented on just how wide my feet were — way to give a kid a complex, huh.
As such, fat-footed as I apparently am, I’ve never found hard-shelled, ultra-rugged winter hiking boots comfortable. Until now. Enter the Keen Revel IV Polar: a pair of rugged hiking boots offering bags of grip, plenty of warmth and protection, and Keen’s notoriously spacious ‘Original Fit’. I’ve been putting the Revel IVs through their paces all winter, and every single one of those paces has been taken in glorious comfort and warmth.
