I loved these Keens because they fit my narrow feet, which is unusual with Keen's! They had great support and really felt like they supported my feet, but I couldn't use them because I have low ankles and they hit that spot - I would have loved to have been able to keep them though!

I am mad for these Malibus. Every time I wear them, people ask me about them. I wear them with or without socks, slacks, skirts, as they are just plain comfy. They have good support, and do not feel like a loose shoe. I am not sure what size I bought them in, but they do fine with or without socks. I bought the mango, and have been on the look out for more colors in mango, to blend with them! I have worn them in snow, rain, and clear weather. They do great.

I wear this shoe daily for work. As a photographer, I walk through fields, on sidewalks, and on the Beach. In Florida, the weather stays hot. I can wear this shoe without socks. I wore out my first pair after two years of daily wear. I loved them so much, I replaced them with this pair, and I got them on sale. They slip on easily, without hands. I have several other styles of Keen. I enjoy shopping for them online, where I can choose from the entire line, instead of just a few styles that might be in stock at a retail store.[...]

I have a narrow foot and it is hard to find recreational shoes that come narrow. I have bought and loved a pair of Keens before so I thought I would try this style. It does not work as well on my foot as the other style Keen but I still like it. The elastic straps do slip but it hasn't bothered me too much. I wish I could tighten them more with the elastic so it would fit my foot better but you cannot. Great shoe if you have normal width foot!

Bottom Line:

I love these shoes -- they're like wearing trainers without looking like you're wearing trainers! I have done everything in them from work to day hikes and they're great - sturdy and supportive but still fashion forward and great looking. They are GREAT looking, and easy on the feet, too. I did acquire a heel blister on the second day I wore them, but I'd call that my fault -- streambed hike with no socks, wet feet, etc. With any other shoe I'd have been a LOT worse off! I get compliments every time I wear these, and they still look new, despite my wearing them hard from minute one out of the box. They brush off looking new -- couldn't ask for easier care.

As with every pair of Keen shoes I own - the comfort is unbelievable! Walking is difficult for me for various reasons but KEEN has made walking bearable and almost enjoyable. The support they provide my feet - they don't wear down at the heel - they stabilize my knees quite well. I just don't think there are any better shoes on the Planet and I used to be a HUGE fan of Birkenstocks! Keen shoes exceed Birkenstocks for me.

These were the first Keen shoes I ever bought and they inspired me to buy 2 more pairs of Keen shoes within a month. They are the most comfortable of the 3 pairs of Keens that I have. My orthotics fit very well in the shoes. They have a lot of support and I have even worn them a couple of times for an easier hike in the mountains. I joke that they are my hunting shoes because of the bright orange color.

I bought these shoes to take on a trip to Europe. My only complaint is the sweaty foot thing. They look kind of dorky with socks but I had to wear socks or I had sweaty feet. Like all Keens they are comfy an sturdy. I had to remember to tighten the elastic straps to get a really good fit, otherwise my feet slipped around a bit too much. Easy to clean off if they get dirty. Good for light outdoorsy stuff but probably not major hiking.
