Comments about Keen Austin:
As I'd hoped, these Keen shoes have proven to be a good choice for casual wear and for work where I'm on my feet for much of the day. BUT initially, after the first couple days, the Keen insoles gave me big blisters on the back of both my heels -- I think because of a groove and sharp, upward, non-curved edge surrounding the heel. Since I replaced the original insoles with new, smoother $12 insoles with more cushioning, the shoes have been perfectly comfortable and sturdy.

all around great shoe
Comments about Keen Austin:
This is my third pair of Keens. I've grown to love them for the comfort, but these also look very good for casual wear. Takes a little bit to break in, but a very good shoe.
Comments about Keen Austin:
Recently recovering from two broken toes from foot surgery, so shoe fit is more critical than ever before. Have always loved my Keen sandals and found them to be the most comfortable after I got out of the "Boot". So I tried the Keen Austin, and found it to also be the most comfortable shoe I own right out of the box, better than my Ecco’s or New Balance cross trainers with comfort inserts. Went back and bought a second pair within a month. Love the look of the shoe and the roomy toe area, they also breathe well.
Comments about Keen Austin:
Great shoe for a great price.
Comments about Keen Austin:
I use these shoes for work and everything else as well. They are comfortable for long periods of activity and they look great. You can't go wrong with this shoe and Keens are a great value for the cost.
Comments about Keen Austin:
My sister told me I had to buy Keens, we have very similarly shaped feet, narrow at the heel but wide at the toes. The Keen shoes are perfect for me! I wear them all day on hard (concrete) floors and my feet are happy which translates to my knees and back also being happy.
This is a great shoe. The only draw back is that the laces are too short!
Comments about Keen Austin:
A great shoe for all day wear. I wear them for walking a two mile aerobic walk, also all day at school as a teacher. I have neuropathy in both feet and Keens are now the only shoes I wear. I have Keen Lisbons also, then got a pair of Austins, and am getting another pair today the brown and black look.
Comments about Keen Austin:
Bought these shoes for my brother. I chose the all black color thinking it would match most of his clothes. I was wrong!! He would have preferred the brown with the stitching. The black was too...black to go with his traditional khaki shorts/white socks look. Other than color, he loves the shoe.
Comments about Keen Austin:
Love Keen shoes! Very comfortable.
Comments about Keen Austin:
I liked them quite a bit, however they were a little stiff and caused some discomfort along the top of my foot and the bend point. I think though, that might have been reduced if the shoe were a half size shorter, but that would have caused it to be too narrow around the mid and heel area of the foot. For that reason I marked it as half size to small, but true to width.
Another thing, the design of the brown strip and the way it goes straight out and then bends a a 90 degree angle, creates the illusion of a REALLY wide, almost Ronald McDonald looking shoes, keens ARE wide and I like them for that reason, but combine there width, with and angular illusion on a shoe that feels a half size to long and it all added up to me trading these is for the **BRIGGS**........ WHICH IS A PHENOMENAL SHOE!!!!!
Comments about Keen Austin:
[...]. Also very good shoe quality.
Comments about Keen Austin:
I wear them everyday, they are the best for comfort I have ever had. Twenty years as a Marine, I did a lot of walking and I just wish I would have had these shoes.
Comments about Keen Austin:
The only thing I recommend is having extra shoe laces. They always wear out before the shoes.
Comments about Keen Austin:
I wear these every day. I have worn while dressed up and casual at football games. They are very comfortable even when worn for long durations. I would have bought them sooner if I knew how great they were. Now my wife is looking to get a pair!
Comments about Keen Austin:
Great pair of Keens! They look great (much more "dressy" than my other Keens) and feel great. Lots of space for my toes!
Comments about Keen Austin:
wear to work and pain in my forefoot is gone
Comments about Keen Austin:
I've only had this product for about a month & I like it a lot. I have feet problems & I'm constantly looking for comfortable shoes & have tried a lot of brands but this is by far the most comfortable walking, casual shoes I've come across. I have not even used my orthodics on this pair & have not experienced any pain by the end of the day.
I will not hesitate to buy Keen again & even this specific model if I have to but the shoes seems to be very durable & may last a very long time.
Bottom line, if you do a lot of walking & need a pair of shoes that is up to it all day, I would recommend the Austin's.
Comments about Keen Austin:
Not only a great casual shoe but the Keen Co. people are quite responsive and care about their customers. So, if you have issues
beyond the purchase the mfg. is there for you!
Hint in sizing; use Euro sizes for men. Their sizes are true and you will find it easier to fit with an online order!
Comments about Keen Austin:
I own a lawn care business and wear these shoes to mow in. They are as comfortable as the first day I put them on. Their durablility is amazing.
Comments about Keen Austin:
I owned a pair of Keens before this purchase and loved them; wear them almost everyday and they're still in great shape. This is my second pair; I wanted a pair of slip ons like before, but the Austin's looks were to good to pass up. I'm glad I got them, they're as comfortable as the slip ons but look so much better. I took a trip to Vegas not long ago and ventured out to the mountains. I wasn't planning on hiking that day but me and a friend decided to go for it. We we climbing all over the place and my keens kept perfect traction. I would highly recommend this shoe.

Excellent shoe, just wish they were stamped MADE IN USA
Comments about Keen Austin:
One of the best shoes made, comfortable, durable, plenty of toe room and support. I wear these to work in the Hospital and I have noticed nurses are wearing them too. Far better then any sneaker I have worn in the past.
Comments about Keen Austin:
Great for a casual night out or for work

This shoe is made to last. Like all Keen styles, they wear like steel.
Love this shoe for its durability and style.
Comments about Keen Austin:
This is a very comfortable shoe with good suport I haven't wore them enough to determine how well they wear. Almost no break in time they fit very well. With a heavy sock they kept my feet very warm.
Comments about Keen Austin:
Keens are great, only con is that the "green" is actually greener that how it show on the website. BUt great shoe nevertheless
Comments about Keen Austin:
This is one of the best pairs of shoes I have ever owned. The are a perfect fit, true to size, comfy, well-made and stylish. I'll definitely buy more Keen brand shoes in the future.

very comfortable shoes. I use them every day.
Comments about Keen Austin:
The product reviews for these shoes made me want to purchase these shoes because I've been shopping for new shoes for 2 months but couldn't find ones that were comfortable. I was skeptical ordering shoes off the web, but oh my gosh, these shoes when I put them on, they were made for my feet. They are some of the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I love them and will continue to order KEEN shoes. I'm sold!!!
Comments about Keen Austin:
I have a really hard time buying shoes, but Keens are always comfortable, fit well and last forever. I only have good things to say about this particular model. I wear them everywhere, all the time, and have had lots of compliments on them. Comfort and compliments - can't get any better than that.
Comments about Keen Austin:
These are my go-to shoes for casual occasions (which is about the only occasion I know...) I wear them to school, with jeans, out shopping, walking--whatever. My only complaint is that the laces wore out in the first month of wear.
Comments about Keen Austin:
*Awesome shoe, I love it!
Comments about Keen Austin:
Love this shoe for my casual work environment and going out afterwards.
Comments about Keen Austin:
No break-in trial period required. Shoes are comfortable, look great, and walked 3 miles the first day I wore them.
Comments about Keen Austin:
I wear these to work all the time. They don't pinch or anything, as I feel most shoes are slightly too narrow. The design is improved over the prior model, because instead of the mesh it is now leather and cloth. The mesh would start to shed and look like it was growing hair, but these are just as comfortable without that problem.
Comments about Keen Austin:
Overall a great shoe and brand for the money. This is my 6th pair of Keens
