Great Shoe For Walking
My wife purchased a pair of these shoes for me for our upcoming Paris trip. I selected them because they looked sensible and I was familar with the Keen brand.They were just as described and fit me just as expected. I own a pair of Keen Newport Sandals KEEN Men's Newport Sandal,Bison,11 M US and I was excited to try the Boston on for size. They fit like a glove. and the spacious toe box made it all the more comfortable.One of the things I noticed with my Keen Sandals was that the sole was extremely hard although it provided me with a sturdy base I was hoping the Company would make the sole less ridged. That is exactly what I found in these shoes. I've been walking in them for the past 3 days and I haven't noticed any rubbing or chaffing on my feet or ankles. I've worn both thick athletic socks and thinner ankle socks and both worked fine. I think I will use the athletic ankle socks when I walk long distances.I look forward to many years with this shoe.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Looking and Comfortable All Around Shoe
Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2017

I really wanted a comfortable pair of hiking or walking shoes or boots but what drew me to this pair of shoes was the very handsome looking style. Was I ever surprised when I tried them on - they were extremely comfortable and made walking easier on my back! When I first opened the box and saw the shoes, I thought to myself - "These look way too small in length, they will never fit", but when I tried them on I was pleasantly surprised they fit well in length. Because of the rounded toe design these shoes will look much smaller than your regular shoes. This is actually a plus for those of us with rather large feet - they make our feet look much smaller than they really are. When I first tried them on, they felt much too narrow. I have rather wide feet. I thought to myself, "I wish this shoe were made in a wide". I like the two flaps with the eyelets for the shoestrings to come together and almost touch in this kind of shoe. At first there was a rather wide gap between the two flaps but the shoes still looked great. Upon the second wearing thess two flaps came much closer together as the shoe molded to my foot. I am very pleased with the style and how they look and feel on my feet. I would recommend these shoes for a number activities and casual wear.

Great quality and comfortable shoes that I've grown to expect from Keen! Not sure why people say they've got sizing issues, because my feet fit perfectly as expected. Big toe box, tons of protection, great design. The only issue I've had some far is keeping them tied, due to the laces being a bit waxy -- but I'n sure they'll break in soon. I bought these shoes because I travel a lot, and they can be worn with khakis while walking through airports or in most casual dress offices. if you live in the pac-northwest or California, you can easily get away with wearing them to work daily. Elsewhere in the country, they might not be considered dressy enough.

A lot of reviews say to get a size up, I think this shoe fits true to size. I am a bit on the larger size of 10 and I ordered the size 10. This shoe fits great and I think if I went with a size 10.5, it would have been too loose. The shoe really fits well on my feet and they are a joy to walk in. I can't wait for them to get a little more broken in. They will feel like a dream!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Comfortable all day travel shoes

I love these shoes. This is my fourth pair. They are perfect for travel and for casual wear and for any situation where I have to be on my feet a long time. My only critique would be the durability of the sole. My first pair, which I still have as back ups at my summer home, lasted much longer. How long your sole will last has something to do with how much you wear them, what surface you wear them on and how much you weigh. I suspect these will last 2-3 years for me.

Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2019

My first pair of these only lasted 19 years, so I'll try them one more time and see if these will last.
I disagree with the comments about needing a larger size, wish I'd bought size 12, my normal size, but the feedback comments and recommendation in the purchase transaction said to buy a pair of size 13. These are a tiny bit large, I kept wearing them, can't return them now, but wish I'd bought 12s.
Also, there have been comments/complaints about the lining no longer being leather - the new lining is some kind of composite material and this pair IS WARMER THAN MY EARLIER PAIR WITH THE LEATHER LINING. Give Keen credit for maybe doing some R & D and actually improving the product. Love these shoes.

This is my 2nd pair in like 10 years. I think I got my first pair 10yrs ago and I still have them and I used them when I am doing yard work. The selling point is the arch support and the comfort which is unbelievable! I got sold on the brand, Keen, after this shoes. 10yrs later I went back to the original pair that made me fall in love with. I thought I was getting the same shoes but the color is a little darker, I am not complaining. But the original comfort is still there. I know this will last me another 10yrs. I have bought in between other Keen shoes. I think I have like 5 different pairs from shoes to boots. They are ugly so be aware. Wide open toe box and make them look like smurf shoes. But it is the price you pay for having short and wide feet. For people like me, Keen is the brand that is perfect match. Enjoy!

I have purchased over 20 pair of Keens over the years and have and have extra pairs in my closet of the ones I like in case they stop making those. I have Sandals, regular shoes and a pair of casual Keens. My wife has bough 6 or 7 pairs over the years.

Tremendous roduct I just love and always get asked what kind are those and where can you get them, as we have traveled to probably 30+ foreign countries.

Like all Keep shoes it is a great quality product. The leather is nice and thick and with time, will soften and fit rather than just wear out. There is enough cushioning for a comfortable all day use and has a grippy sole for hiking on wet days.
I must agree with one of the reviewers in that the leather lining has now been replaced with cloth and that is bad.....a sure sign of cost cutting. The in-sole is thick but soft and provides no arch support at all...at least it comes off and can be dumped for a better one.
I am very pleased with it and will buy again.

Schöner Schuh, der sehr gut für breitere Füße mit hohem Spann geeignet sind. Die hochgezogene Kappe schützt den Schuh und die Zehen. Die Schuhe fallen absolut größengerecht aus. Sie gefallen sehr gut, weil hier Sportlichkeit, Robustheit, Tragekomfort und der persönliche Geschmack vereint sind. Ich werde sie sicher nochmal bestellen.
