Our take on the KEEN Women's Zionic Mid Waterproof Hiking Boot

The KEEN Zionic Mid Waterproof is a women's mid-cut hiking boot built around a lightweight foam midsole and a waterproof membrane, with 4mm multi-directional lugs and a stability shank for uneven ground. It stands out for combining a roomy KEEN fit and sneaker-like cushioning with a 30mm heel and hard plastic heel cup for support. It is a day-hike and light-trail boot rather than a mountaineering one. Its 4.6 out of 5 from 176 ratings puts it among KEEN's better-reviewed hiking boots.

Questions and answers

Is the KEEN Zionic Mid Waterproof worth it?
For day hikes, wet-weather walks and travelers who want comfort first, yes. It is not built for heavy loads or rocky scrambling, where a stiffer boot with a rubber outsole is a better choice.
How does it compare with the KEEN Targhee?
The Targhee is the heavier, more protective trail boot with a rubber outsole and more ankle structure. The Zionic is lighter and more sneaker-like, with a softer foam sole that suits easier trails.
Does it keep feet dry?
Yes. It has a waterproof membrane and a waterproof upper, so rain, wet grass and shallow puddles are fine. It is not a wading boot, and water can still enter over the collar in deep water.
How does the sizing run?
KEEN boots generally run roomy, and the Zionic follows that with a wide toe box. Most shoppers order their normal size; those between sizes or with narrow feet may want to size down.
Is it warm enough for winter?
It is insulated and warm for cool autumn and mild winter walks. For deep snow or long periods below freezing, a dedicated insulated winter boot is better.
What is in the box?
One pair of boots with the factory laces. Insoles and socks are not included.
