Keen Roam review: trail running shoes that need a little extra support
The Keen Roam shoes offer versatility for walking or running; I just wish there was more support.
The Keen Roam are versatile trail running shoes suitable for gravel, dirt, and pavement surfaces. While they boast features like waterproofing, exceptional traction, a comfortable fit, and breathable materials, they lack sufficient cushioning due to a stiff outsole rubber and a lack of arch support. These shoes weigh 9.9 ounces each and come in various sizes and colors for both women and men.
The upper is made of mesh with toe box reinforcements for durability, and the insole features Keen's QUANTUMFOAM cushioning. The outsole boasts multidirectional lugs for improved traction and KEEN.ALL-TERRAIN technology. The shoes break in easily, are breathable, and provide comfort for extended wear. Overall, they offer a reliable option for uneven terrain running but may not be ideal for all running needs due to their lack of cushioning.
