Design and features

The Keen Pyrenees Waterproof Boot is a chunky, rugged-looking boot with uppers constructed from double-stitched panels of premium nubuck leather, backed with the brand’s own in-house waterproof membrane, called Keen.Dry.

The ankle cuff is well padded and leather-lined for comfort, with a cutaway rear section to reduce pressure on the Achilles, especially when going downhill. The tongue is also nicely cushioned. An integrated tongue gusset extends to the second-most pair of lace hooks, ensuring a good flood height.

You also get good-quality all-metal hardware, combining traditional D-ring eyelets with speed hooks at the top of the boot for easier on/off, aided by a rear leather pull tab.

It’s a shame that there’s no locking lace hook at the base of the ankle though, which would enable you to adjust the lacing around the ankle and across the top of the foot separately. Still, it’s easy to get a secure fit with no slip.

Even when descending steep, grassy hillsides, your toes don’t hit the front of the boot. Oh, and as a nice added extra, Keen also supplies an extra/alternative set of laces with every pair.
