Description of KEEN Ridgeline Trail Running Shoe - Women's:
Why keep it to the paved nature trails? Opt for the road less taken in the Keen Women’s Ridgeline Trail Running Shoe. The Ridgeline Trail Running Shoe’s sturdy structure is undeterred by rocks, gravel, and steep alpine paths. It cushions your feet from the harsh impact of running, while cradling and supporting your heels. A multi-directional 3mm lug outsole offers mountain-goat-like traction, and a clever asymmetrical flex lace system won’t bunch up on you. You’re busy keeping your heart rate up—slips and stops have no place in your plans.
Bottom Line: Ridgelines offer the best views—so go chase ‘em.
For running, these shoes will go on and off road. The nubs are not too nubby, but having said that, they have fantastic grip! The weight is super light and the mesh construction allows for great breathability while coushioning your foot. I suggest these shoes for narrow feet. If you have a wide foot these shoes will feel very snug overall and not very comfortable while running. I ordered a 6, which is my normal size, and I wear them with very thin micro crew running socks. A thicker sock would probably make them too tight. Take them out for a few long walks to break them in before jogging or running long distances.
These shoes fit true to size. I have narrow feet and the asymmetrical lacing really helped the shoes to fit them. On that note, I was worried the lacing would look weird, but it doesn't. The pink in this color is very pink. Not neon, but definitely pink. I can't really comment on the durability as I've only had them for a few weeks, but they seem well made (as with all of keen's stuff). Overall, good shoe and since I got it on sale, a great price.
I do not use these shoes for running, but I do use them for everything but!
From the beginning they were so comfy and never hurt my feet.
I work in the health care field and these are my staple shoes. I absolutely love love these shoes. This is my second pair.
