KEEN Alameda 17in Laptop Messenger Bag Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great bag, and I am very pleased with it.It _is_ giant, however, and might really be too large for most casual use.I am 6'-4", and it still looks like I am carrying half of a sheep carcass :).I bought it to be my everyday go-to-the-office bag, and so I needed it to carry spare shoes, a water bottle, hygiene goodies (toothbrush, paper soap, sunscreen and the like), my iPod and video glasses, and most importantly, lunch.It does all of this admirably, and looks good doing it. (I got the black-on-black model.)There is even some room left over, in the event that I stop by the grocery store on the way home.

The bag is one large compartment, inside of which a capacious sleeve for the computer hangs, suspended by toggles.(This is where I put my lunch: I have not actually put a 17" computer in there yet :) ).The bottom of the bag is rubber, rather like the sole of a rubber boot, and is very grippy.There is an external zippered pocket on the outside, under the main opening, which can be gotten to without opening up the main flap.The strap, as on many Keen bags, is adjustable for length, which allows the bag to be snugged up against the back in the event that one has to take a long walk while carrying the bag.

Puma King Exec I FG (Navy/White) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My son loves the fit and feel of these Puma soccer shoes, BUT he's had two pairs and both pair separated along the base of the shoe between the leather and the "platform" after minimal wear.We thought the first pair were just defective, but the 2nd pair did the exact same thing.He wore them for outside, grass soccer play and they just did not hold up well at all for that playing surface.They were light weight, extremely comfortable, and his favorite shoe prior to splitting though.

KEEN Blackcomb Winter Boot - Women's Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is my second pair of Keen winter boots, the first were Growlers; they were worn into the ground! This is a far better boot for me, the ankle support is more flexible and the fit across the bridge is easier to adjust so that it is snug where you want it and eases off where you want it and stays there. Growler lacing tended to slip in the metal loops. This boot holds your foot in place yet gives you toe wriggle room! I go by european sizes and would sugest to anyone getting them to go 1/2 a size bigger than your normal size. They are now the only boot I wear in a Tasmanian winter but I can also wear them comfortably right up to summer. A good boot makes your ankles knees and back happy and keeps your toes snug.....get happy feet, grab these boots!

Rub away your dreary morning eyes and slip on the Keen Women's Blackcomb Winter Boot with Nubuck leather for a refreshing morning hike. Walk through morning frost and stay dry with the Blackcomb's waterproof breathable barriers. When you get hot on your hike, a wicking nylon lining keeps your feet from getting soggy by drawing moisture away from your skin. Primaloft insulation keeps your toes cozy as you hike higher and through light snow. The Blackcomb's toe guard works as protection from spiky shrubbery and crusty snow. The compression molded EVA footbed absorbs shock from the frozen ground and works to maintain long-lasting comfort.

Teva Womens Ossagon Mid Event Hiking Boot Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love these boots so far but have yet to put any actual good mileage. They are a little difficult to really tighten down and secure but once you got it = they are SOOOO comfy. I am looking forward to getting these out on the trails. LOOK great and feel mahvelous. YOU DO NEED TO ORDER AT LEAST A HALF SIZE UP. I usually wear a 9 and I ordered a 9.5. Great fit with sock liners and mid weight sock. I don;t much wear a heavy sock in Alabama so those of you in the really really cold may need to go up a full size.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Not as good as previous Irish Setter boots that I had.The leather ripped from the vinyl toe where it flexes while walking.The premise of the boot design looks great, but fails to deliver.The boot lasted only one year of light to moderate use.

Men's Merrell Legacy Gore-Tex® Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These are good for light hiking in good conditions. They have problems when they get wet. My first pair blew out the side seams on both boots the first time they got really wet (i.e. I fell in to a stream). I returned that pair. With the replacement pair the rubber toe guard seperated from the leather after I hiked in a light rain. I was hoping for a much better constructed boot for this price.

Columbia Sportswear Men's Laman Peak Omni-Tech Hiking Boot Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My Columbia trail shoes are the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned so when looking for hiking boots I decided to pick up some Columbia boots.The boots were fairly comfortable out of the box and I wore them around the house for hours before deciding to take them outside.I put them straight to work during some El Nino conditions of serious rain in my area.The boots were waterproof, felt very sturdy and the outsole is incredibly grippy.The sizing was spot-on for me however after putting a few miles on these boots they began to painfully dig into the top of my left foot, right where the boot bends with each step.I hoped it would go away, but after 25+ miles overall walking in them and adjusting the laces many times they just wont relent.I hoped they would get better but no luck.It's unfortunate, as the right foot boot is very comfortable and I've always enjoyed Columbia products in the past.I may simply just have an instep that is too high for these boots and I discovered this pain too late to return the product.I still have a positive opinion toward Columbia (my only gripe would be that all their labor is outsourced to asia), and these boots are probably very comfortable and durable for most users, but due to the pain they cause me I cannot use them for their intended purpose, tough offroad trekking.For this reason I went all out and bought a pair of Zamberlan boots (the only boots I could find with nothing but positive reviews everywhere I looked, and not made in China).

Teva Mens Ossagon Mid Event Hiking Boot Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These boots have been great for hiking. Good grip and very comfortable. I haven't had any issues with moisture/sweat. Haven't tested out if they are affected by water. This purchase has worked out great, now let me go knock on some wood.

UPDATE: Ok so since I bought these about 5 months the bottom rubber soles have started to come unglued. Did not expect that. Are still extremely comfortable and otherwise have stood up well on my day-hikes. I think some superglue will resolve the sole issue and comfort-wise I find these shoes worth the superglue, but I'd be pretty upset had I paid current prices of around $100. If I could change the rating I would give 3.5 stars now. A great shoe IF it stays intact.

DC Men's Scout 2010 Boa Snowboard Boot Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just picked up snowboarding this past season and decided to buy my own gear.After trying on a variety of demo boots, I decided on a BOA lacing system.These fit the bill well.Pretty comfortable, easy to "lace" up.They can loosen a little after a few runs, but obviously, just twist a little more, and you're good to go.

Vasque Women's Velocity VST Trail Running Shoe Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I needed new trail shoes while visiting northern California, and bought these because that was what was available, and I was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable they are. I did several 5 mile hikes through the redwoods and on gravel in them over 3 days and never had a problem. I wear between a 10 and 11 normally, but went with the 11s on these. I have bunions and these are wide enough in the ball of the foot for me. One thing I noticed right off was that there is a good amt. of support under the big toe joint. My feet never got hot and these breathe well. Great trail shoe.

Hi-Tec Women's St. Moritz Luxe 200i Insulated Boot Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I live in western NY and the snow and the cold here can be brutal. I bought these boots a few months ago and have worn them for walks, hikes in the Adirondak Mountains, and to do things like snow removal after the last batch of February and March snow storms. Not only did my feet stay dry, they were WARM. After walking in slush, snow, and some muddy terrain (for hours!), they look brand new. The suede stayed dry in all of these conditions! The boots can be a little stiff at first, but after a few wears, they became more flexible. There is enough room for wool socks inside, but any pair of socks will do in these comfy warm boots. I love them and am glad that I spent the money. They also are a cute and I've worn them with my jeans tucked inside. A great buy and I'd recommend them to everyone.
