I'm curious what owners have to say about the toe box. Not a big hiker, but mildly interested in shoes(which are often geared towards hikers as I disc golf), and if there's one reason I picked my Keen Detroit mids, it's the wide toe box...though I also needed a warmer shoe for the winter. They make my feet feel like they're in a nice big limo. I mean shoot, just look into tapered toe boxes, what many shoes do to the toe box is terrible for foot health.

MooTatersI have not tried this specific model but the Salewas I have worn have been slightly narrower than most North American brands for toe box width and have a narrower (but for me very nice fitting!) heel. Not as bad as LaSportiva in the toebox which are mostly uncomfortable for me to wear but nothing I would ever call wide.
However the full length lacing down the toe helps tremendously to get a better fit. I own a pair of LaSportiva Tx4's which are similar to Salewa's in toebox width and the full down lacing allows me to adjust them for a very comfortable fit! ( I have a narrow heel and a slightly above average forefoot width for reference and the Tx4's are the only LaSportiva I didn't find too narrow in the toebox )
If you like Keen's though I am not even sure the full down lacing will help you out as Keens are for me a much wider toe box. Again no idea on this specific model but my best guess would be you would not enjoy these based on my experience with Salewa and Keen shoes. Hopefully someone with experience with this particular model can chime in!

MooTatersI own two pairs as I love these boots. As to the toe box, I'd consider it neither wide nor narrow. Very standard fitting toe box. Their lacing system and flexibility makes the fit all the better! I have had these for about 3 yrs and backpack in them exclusively. I'll buy them again when needed.
