Shoe breathability testing

Cut in half: KEEN NXIS Speed Review (2024)

KEEN NXIS Speed review: With its feather-like build and ultra-plush confines, it's safe to say that there's no more appropriate name for the NXIS Speed than what it's been given. This kick from KEEN gives each of our steps extra tenacity and vigor, translating to extended rides with nimbleness...

If every shoe had a review like this.... Damn that's how it should be done! Most thorough review I've ever seen of anything

Particularly interesting was the showing the breathability differences between a regular Vs goretex shoe (not surprising but still). I like this guy's approach

I've been using this site for reviews recently. Very helpful

Reminds me of Rose Anvil on YT, but seemingly a lot deeper and more meaningful testing.

Keens' always fit me well and also seem to breathe well. I've had some very stinky pairs and a few that leaked very quickly but they are one of the few brands I can buy and know they'll fit.

Currently in a pair of new Targhees that fitted perfectly and felt like slippers from the first step.

If only they did some B1's.

Which ones? Not had much look with the III's due to the synthetic part that runs around the sides perishing in quick order. Always on the look out for the old II's or the all leather Oxford version at a good price.

Targhee's, shoes and boots. 3 or 4, can't remember now. Had them for 3 months or so.

Watch out for this piece perishing on the III. Mine were a daily wear. Other than that I've liked them. Seen it on lots now.

Just looked at the order as they don't look like that.

Turns out, they are Ridgeflex's. Now discontinued.

Same last but have got some rubber bellows on the top to perish and let water in.
