I bought these on clearance at a DSW in America. I immediately wore them walking 4 miles and I do really like them. Comfortable from minute one. They seem to be water resistant too? Cause I walked into a puddle and my feet didn't get wet. I have a low arch/flatter feet with pronation and these are very comfortable for me. They are stylish too. I love the deep trending as well. However, the sizing is confusing. I am a women's 10. 5. but these say size 9US/42UK. I think this is going by their gender neutral sizing?? Why are we doing this? It makes sizing unnecessarily confusing. I want to their website cause I wanted to buy more of these but idk what size to get now. Their sizing guide says women's 10. 5 is a UK 41. Their women's 11 is a UK 42. And their gender neutral is US 9 /UK 42 which is what these shoes are. But all their sizing on the shoes are not in the gender neutral category. It's all women or mens. Idk what size I need to get!! I can't answer if they are true to size or are wide or narrow because I have no. idea what size these shoes truly are with the "gender neutral" size on them.

I used 3 coats of leather conditioner on these before going outside, but they stained almost immediately from just water/dew. They look terrible after only about a month of wear. :(

I purchased these for an upcoming trip to Europe and have been wearing them for the last week to break them in. The insoles are so thin it feels like cardboard. I wore them all day yesterday and have the worst blisters. They also run incredibly large (at least a half size).

I wanted to love these shoes so much, I truly would have returned them if I didn't wait a few months before trying them on a wearing them (my bad!). Beware they are so much more narrow than regular Keen shoes!

I have worn Keen boots for years. Tried others and nothing else works as well. I wanted some more casual walking shoes and have tried everything. Whenever I know I'm going to walk a lot I wear my wonky ugly boots. Then I decided to look at the Keen site. I ordered these and they fit exactly like my boots. I am in heaven!!! I have gotten so many compliments on them. . . even my daughter!

This is the second pair of KEEN shoes I have tried (the Hightrail hiking shoes did not work for my feet). Overall I'd say these are sturdy and well-made. My first impression when I tried them on was that there was extra room in the heel, and that they rubbed up against the front of my ankles (my ankles sit pretty far forward which is sometimes a problem with shoes that don't have a big enough curve toward the front). These were roomy enough that I was able to put an arch support insole in them to raise my foot within the shoe a bit and that seemed to help the rubbing of my ankles. However, I noticed that if I walked more than just across a room (say outside walking the dog) then my heels would slip away from the back of the shoe. Thankfully that hasn't caused any blisters, but they don't fit as snugly as I'd like. Still, these are better than the other KEEN hiking shoes I tried, so I will stick with these for now.

I love the look of these. They are roomy in the toe Box. I ordered a 1/2 size up and would stick with your normal size. Comfortable for general activities and and running errands.

I have psoriatic arthritis and to be honest these are the only shoes that I can comfortably wear. Ordering my 2nd pair. Thank-you. Debora Ellingson

This is the second pair my daughter has owned (she grew out of the first pair). These shoes are very comfortable and are durable. Highly recommended.

The arch support is great the wide toe box wonderful. I bought these for my son's kidney transplant hospital stay so I was well supported and in comfort while also stylish.

Wow ! A life saver ! I am going on a vaca to the midlands of SC and then the Outer Banks of NC and my English hiking boots had just given up the ghost after 8 years of faithful service ! I should mention I’m a serious walker ( about 4/5 miles a day is a comfortable stroll for me ) I go at a very fast pace and I’m a heel striker and have high arches and a wide toe box ! I’ve also just gotten over my 5 th lumbar spine surgery ! So I’m super sensitive and very aware of my bodies balance and how one thing can affect another ! So I was desperate to find a good hot weather , stable glide ,decent arch support with a wide toe and a sock liner that doesn't feel like I’m walking on cement , shoe ! And a shoe that isn’t pulling my heel down ( which after back surgery is not even imaginable) unless you want to end up in the ER! And as a bonus doesn't look like look like you on walking on a Unicorn marshmallow cloud or your GrandMoms bunion boot ! Keen retro style sneakers to the rescue ! Attractive yes , but it the fit that is the key ! A higher heel drop then most sneakers , a hiking or walking shoe tread , a slightly softer sock liner but a good solid foot feel ( no cute tricks to try and make your foot or body do something it doesn’t want to do ! ) Just a classy looking , well fitting well preforming shoe , just enough midsole flex to respond to what you want to do but you won’t slide in these if it’s wet ! Good old fashion ties , none of that slip in nonsense ! And the most surprising is that exchanged a pair of Keen ladies Tar ghee 4 that were suppose to be perfect for all my issues but had no arch at all and were not only heavy but pulled my heel down to where after a few miles I had to come in and remove them for exhaustion of my back pain ! These shoes ( my Keen sneakers ) at least for my summer into early fall have saved my season and my vaca ! Will be looking for hikers for fall but these are going to be my go to walking , everyday exercise walks and my Carolina exploring shoes ! In fact I’m trying to get my size in every color ! Thank you Keen for these ! And for anyone out here that’s interested these sneakers also have a comfortable but secure heel ! I usually wear a women’s 10 wide ( D) but in most Keens all I need is a regular 10 ! Don’t hesitate to try these if you are in search of a great sports / walking / athletic shoe that doesn't look or feel trendy !

KS Leather is attractive shoe but runs large in heel and not enough toe depth in regular size. Others have commented regular size runs wide. Not plush enough on bottom of feet. Wished it could have worked for me.
