This is my 10th pair of keens. My feet are shot from the treadmill. Put these shoes on for the first time and you can wear them all day. Style is not sacrificed with keen shoes. They look sporty and the earth tones go with everything. Buy with confidence. You will not be dissapointed.
They are pretty comfortable shoes right out of the box, but definitely need worn in. I assume they would loosen up & feel better with wear. I wore them on a long walk & got blisters, but I think that's probably just because they need broken in. They're a snug fit so must be worn with a thin sock. The heel support is fantastic but otherwise the soles are a bit thin & there isn't much arch support. Basically, they would be great for wearing out & about, but probably not for days when you'll be walking long distances or walking for a long period of time. And they're definitely super cute!

This shoe was recommended by a sports medicine doc for foot problems. I'm delighted with my second pair and wear both (different colors) alternately around my home and out and about.
Great looking shoe. This shoe is unique, but not weird. Looks great with jeans and dress pants for work. Not as wide looking as my other keens. I ordered a 1/2 size up like some suggested, but it was too big. Highly recommended.

I loved the look of this shoe online. I was disappointed, though, when I tried them on. The sole is very stiff and takes a long time to loosen up with body heat. I did appreciate that the heal was narrow enough for me, but the lack of arch support was the deciding factor. I own a pair of Presidios (from Onlineshoes.com) and wish these had that much support for my arches.

I can wear these shoes all day without heel pain from my heel spur and that is walking on concrete at work
My first Keen shoes and I'm impressed! At first they were a little snug around the opening; so, I had to wiggle my foot to get them on. And, I wasn't sure if I liked them fitting quite so snug-like-a-glove widthwise. (What about thicker socks? Will they pinch and make my feet hurt if I wear them all day?) But, they were absolutely perfect lengthwise, nicely constructed, and very visually appealing. Then, I realized how shock absorbing the shoe bed is and how supportive they are. I can actually walk briskly again, instead of shuffling along in discomfort and pain in my old shoes. Appreciate the toe cap, too - protects the digits and the shoes. And while I was thinking about all of this, I suddenly realized they were conforming to my feet, even widthwise - no pinching at all. Within a day, they won me over. By day two, I didn't want to wear any other shoes. They'll be perfect for Spring/Fall with thin socks. And, they'll probably be warm enough for the Winter here, but I don't know yet if they'll accomodate a thicker sock (like I like for colder weather) by then. By the way, I was caught in a Spring rain and the shoes didn't spot nor leak. All-in-all, I am so keen of my Chamonix! And, I'm very glad I stumbled on to Keen shoes and hope to do more shopping here.

SO COMFORTABLE!!! I never want to take these shoes off. I just got them this morning and put them on right out of the box! They were a little stiff at first, and the back of the shoe came down a little too far on my heel, but taking the shoe on and off a few times fixed that problem right away. Overall, I am extremely pleased!! Everyone loves the look of them, I've gotten many comments already!
from Ohio on 3/3/2008
I purchased these shoes for a trip to Europe. I was skeptical that they would be as comfortable as others suggested, but they were extremely comfortable and better than expected. I walked the streets of Paris, Rome and Switzerland in these shoes and my feet never hurt, even though we walked non-stop all day long for 11 days! These are excellent and stylish enough for walking and standing for long periods of time. They are also waterproof which is nice when you are walking dirty streets in all kinds of weather.

Love this Keen shoe!!!
from carlin, nv on 2/24/2008
Hard to wear sandals to work so these do the trick for me.
from Pollock Pines, CA on 2/17/2008
I have two pair now. Your price is by far the best so will continue to buy from you. Would love to try the chamonix boots also.
from Ithaca, NY on 2/8/2008
This is the second pair of Keen shoes I've bought, I'm a total convert. They're comfortable, but also look cool enough to wear to work with pants. They remind me of a snuggly creature, or something worn by a hip woodland gnome.
from Bristol, IN on 2/4/2008
All that matters is comfort and they are very comfortable
from Seattle on 2/2/2008
Very cute shoes which should be comfortable for most normal feet. There is elastic under the flap that makes them easy to get on/off, and a flexible fit--but not enough for my high instep. The insole is cushy and these should be great shoes for most folks!
from Orcas Island, WA on 1/26/2008
These shoes were everything I had hoped they would be. I think it may be too flat for someone with fallen arches, but all in all I am surprisingly happy with these right from the box and they seem to be getting better every day.
from Columbus, OH on 1/25/2008
These are very practical and comfortable shoes. They can be dressed up or down, which is especially nice in cold weather. They are also waterproof, which is a definite plus.
from Stevensville, MI on 1/20/2008
I really love how this shoe fits, it will be for warm weather though because it wears best with a thin sock. It is probably the most comfortable shoe I have ever owned. It can be tough to get it on, but once on, wow. Nice shoe.
from northern Virginia on 1/15/2008
These shoes are so comfortable - right out of the box. They look cute too. Love them.
from Jennings, LA on 1/14/2008
These shoes look as good as they feel -- Great buy!!!!
from Grand Junction, CO on 1/13/2008
I really like this shoe. It's great looking, very confortable and stable, and you can wear them all day long without tiring; however, it is not the greatest for warmth. I have to preface it by saying this winter has been REALLY cold with record snow, and I do have serious popsicle toes; but they really don't keep my feet warm at all. If you have normal feet, they probably would work fine, or if it's not that cold. I'm a real klutz. and really like their great stability,and am looking forward to wearing them when the weather warms a bit.
from Burnsville, NC on 1/3/2008
Great for everyday. Very true fit. Fots the foot perfect, Very comfortable and versatile.
from Rochester, NY on 1/2/2008
I love these shoes so much I bought 2 pair, (one black and one brown). I have a very small foot with a narrow heel. I get blisters easily. So when I find a pair of shoes that fit and perform well, I get at least 2 pair. When I'm working or traveling, I want a shoe that's comfortable, durable, and has a great fit. Since I work in labs and am around packaging, such as wooden skids, I like that the toe cap not only protects my foot but also protects the shoe as well. One thing I wish the shoe had is more texture on the sole for better grip on wet/icy surfaces. Other than that, I love them.
from Fredericksburg, Virginia on 12/31/2007
As a Washington, D.C. commuter walking to and from the subway and commuter train, my walk is so much more comfortable in these shoes, than my famous athletic walking shoes. The shoes keep my foot stable and relieves heel pain (plantar fascitis). Highly recommended for any kind of walking!
from Seattle, WA on 12/17/2007
The shoes are comfortable, attractive, versatile, and easy care. I have hardly removed them since I got them two weeks ago. My sister immediately ordered some exactly like them. A Sports Medicine specialist recommended Keen shoes to me for my foot condition. [@] has always provided excellent, swift service, and charged no shipping. Phone personnel are always kind and answer consumer questions.
from michigan on 12/11/2007
All day wear and my feet do not hurt!
from Gloucester MA on 12/3/2007
These shoes fit exactly as I hoped they would. True to size, although I expected more warmth, they are perfect fall/spring shoes. They have rubberized soles and are very comfortable driving shoes, the heel rocks!
from NJ on 12/3/2007
Due to foot issues over the years and abuse of flip flops my Dr. told me that it is time to get a good shoe and he suggested Kenn. He was right, an excellent buy, such great support and looks cute with everything. I am so pleased with the shoes!
These shoes are great. Very comfortable. Put them on the first time and they fit like a glove. People who are looking for that "rugged outdoor Keen" should not look at these. You can tell that they were made for a more casual shoe. Night out at the movies or casual work place. I would not think they were made to distroy in the rivers and mountains like my other Keens.
LOVE these shoes!
from Bartlett, IL on 11/8/2007
Very nice, casual shoes that are great for city walking during the cold. Some commented that they were not waterproof so I have sprayed them with "fine leather" water resistant spray and now I can use them during the rain or snow walking around the city.
from Anchorage, Ak on 10/17/2007
This shoe is so comfortable and light. I really love it!!
These shoes soaked through each time they got wet. NOT waterproof at all. Then the seam ripped out on the top of the shoe where it had gotten wet. Not satisfied with this shoe.
from hood river oregon on 10/14/2007
this shoe could use a little more padding at heel and it would be perfect
from brattleboro VT on 9/30/2007
real comfortable shoe, I put them on, no blisters, no pain, just a perfect shoe, but I also love the brand.
from Edmonds, WA on 9/1/2007
I love Keen, not only because they are comfortable, but I can use my orthodics and still have a decent looking pair of shoes to wear.
