User Reviews
I talked my wife into trying the keen brand because she was having foot problems. She tends to buy shoes with little or no actual support. She didn’t want to spend the money on “just shoes”. The keen’s arrived promptly and in a factory shoe box in brand new condition. The quality construction is obvious at first look. She slipped them on and laced them up. After 5 min of walking around the house she was very happy. She described them as “excellent fit, stylish, comfortable and I’ll never wear any thing else”. After a week she ordered 3 other various styles including sandals. Oh yeah, her foot pain is gone!
Fits as expected. I did add arch supports, but these shoes are by far some of the most comfortable that I have ever owned. The shoe outside is mesh, but not overly airy. I wore all winter long with no issue. I have hiked the trails in these and they lasted wonderfully. These are my go-to shoes for everyday walk and wear.
I ordered these because my Keen Sports Sandals are fantastic so I had high expectations for their sneaker. The first pair I ordered were incredibly tight so I returned them and ordered a half size larger. The larger size fit one foot well, but was tight on the other foot. I kept them anyway and am happy that they have now stretched a little and are very comfortable. However, the footbed cushioning is thin so I had to insert a pillow innersole. I think Keen could have made a better sneaker, but I can say that they are now very comfortable. The blue-grey color is very nice and they are cooler than most sneakers so good for summer wear. Order a half size larger then you usually wear but they may not fit if your foot is wide.
These are probably one of the most comfortable pair of shoes I’ve ever worn! For every day comfort they are the best!
I am in search of the perfect black/charcoal hiking shoe.This are definitely NOT it. They should not be marketed as a "hiking" shoe at all! The soles are extremely slippery. I'm hoping that might improve as they get scuffed up with wear (or I might use sandpaper to speed the process). The tread itself is not deep enough to call a hiking shoe, either. And I doubt the fabric would hold up to any true hiking on a rocky or rugged trail.So I was highly disappointed with them as a hiking shoe. But they are a super cute sneaker. As a casual light shoe, they are comfortable enough. I think they will be fine for casual wear, walking. And maybe dancing/exercising too.They are not the classical Keen fit with the very wide toe box (and have a much less clunky look as a result). But they do have a good versatile fit - I can wear them anywhere from barefoot to heavy wool socks.
very uncomfortable, nothing like my other keens that I love
Keen is such a wonderful brand. The fit was just right. I ordered my normal size. The soles are incredibly comfortable. However the back of the heels dug into my Achilles's tendon enough to where it would break the skin of I wore them. I think the shape of the heels were curved inward too much. I returned the for a refund. I'll be trying other styles though, because I am still a fan of keen.
These are so nice with the traditional Keen wide toe box and they are light. I can feel the air through them which is nice in the summer. I wouldn't wear them on a serious hike but they are great for day wear and out taking the dog for a street/sidewalk walk.
