Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Some of the best brands for winter I've seen from working retail in outdoors gear is Salomon, Keen, Oboz (post and delivery workers recommendation).
- Merrell and Keen make decent wide options too if you want something more traditional
- Try Keen
- In general keen are making their shoes very robust.
- Keen offers anti bacterial insoles too.
Cons
- Sadly, even keen is not wide enough for me.
- Brands like Keen, Salomon, TNF, Sorel, Kamik etc. are hi-top snickers, and should be expected to perform as such. They come with: - thick midsole made out of PU/EVA, that deforms, degrades and collpapses... - lining made out kf absolute...
- Unfortunately, Keen quality has significantly diminished in the last five years. Traction: 10, Comfort: 10, Price: 5, Durability: 0. Sadly, they just don’t last…..
- Oboz! Last way longer than Keen and Merrell in my experience.
