These shoes were incredibly comfortable. I bought them initially as a replacement for my casual shoes that wore out but ended up wearing them instead of my hiking boots on a recent trip to the smokies because they were so comfortable. They handily got me up and back down over 2000 ft of rock and dirt over 15 miles during 3 days of hiking. Breathable, roomy, comfortable. These are my new favorite shoes.

I purchased this shoe for an everyday run about shoe. It is a very comfortable shoe but it has a very supportive arch which took me about a day to get use to. Now when I go back to my work boots it feels like they do not support my feet nearly enough. The shoes look a little wider than some but fit great. They are my favorite do everything shoe.

I hiked the south rim of the Grand Canyon to the Colorado and back (18 miles) in these with no problems at all. Plus a 20 mile hike with our scout troop several weeks later. No blisters, nothing.
I love these shoes, so I bought a second pair for everyday use. They have a wide plan form which makes them extremely stable, so much so that I decided on these over a hiking boot that may protect from sprains. I have a wide foot, so finding a comforatble fit is hard for me - but the Portales fit perfectly.

I have several pairs of Keen's and this is one of my favorites. It's more close to your actual size than any of the others I've tried. Extremely comfortable.
Good Shoe, very comfortable.

Very sturdy, comfortable but could benefit from some extra ventilation. The last pairs of Keen's I have owned have been the same way. Just needs better ventilation.

I use these Keens as everyday kicks. They are super comfortable and breathe. I noticed these new models run a little wider in the toe box...which I like...but be mindful of that. I also downsized a 1/2 size. I own virtually every shoe Keen makes (I know I'm an addict in search of a support group!) but these are my favorites!

Another great shoe from Keen. This is my 5th Keen shoe/sandal and again I am very satisfied. The size/width is accurate, the shoe is lightweight, overall comfortable and warm but breathable. I cannot verify the water resistance yet - can't wait to get them outdoors more...The onlineshoes.com purchase was a good deal for the money [...]- I will definitely use them again!

Great overall, fits just like the sandal. Wish they were water proof. I like to have a WP shoes but hate wearing mid highs for everyday adventures around town. But over all, great.
