I walked over 50 miles through streams, on mountains and even a glacier in these Keen boots — and they never once let me down

A pair of Keen Zionic NXT Mid Waterproof hiking boots.

I love going on hikes and spending time in nature, away from the distractions of life. But to fully enjoy a long walk, I need reliable shoes that will keep my feet dry and blister-free. For a pair to be deemed the best hiking boots, they need to be comfortable, grippy and waterproof — and the Keen Zionic NXT Mid Waterproofs are just that.

In the time I’ve spent testing the Zionic NXT Mids, I’ve walked over 50 miles in the U.K. and Iceland, and I can confidently say that they’re fantastic for nearly every environment. They’re extremely comfortable to wear for long periods of time, and Keen’s proprietary waterproofing ensures your socks don’t get soaked. Whether you’re walking on sharp rocks or wading through muddy water, these boots will have your back.
