Keen Arcata SKU: #7893342

Anonymous

I have bought Keen shoes in the past but only the water sandals. This is an adorable canvas and leather walking shoe. The blue-green is a beautiful color. The shoe feels supportive and I love that the liner can be removed for washing. I was looking for a fashionable shoe for walking through Italy this summer. I had to go down half a size in the Keen brand.

These are great. Very roomy in the toe box, and great arch support. I wore them pretty much non-stop for a 4-day trip to Vegas, brand-new out of the box, and they were so comfortable (and cute...went with everything)!

I got these shoes because I needed cute, everyday shoes that were quality shoes that would last and also have the support I was lacking in my current shoes. I chose these because I know Keen is a great brand, and I also liked the style. They aren't quite as bright as they are in the picture online. I could also use a tiny bit more arch support. However, they overall seem to be great, quality shoes. Be prepared to break them in just a little. The opening of the shoe is a little stiff - they chafed my heel a little the first day. No problems since then! Also - buy a half size up! Keens run a little small.

These sneakers are cute and comfortable but they do not seem to offer quite the level of arch support that some other Keen styles, like the Toyah or Presidio, do. I really do love Keens and will keep these Arcatas for wearing during the warmer months but wish they offered a little more support. As for sizing, I generally wear a 9 in Keen oxfords, an 8½ in Keen's dressier shoes and an 8½ in other brands. I ordered these shoes in an 8½ and they fit slightly roomy when barefoot and exactly right with thin socks. The width is traditional Keen, a little on the wide side but not excessively so. They are nice shoes, that I would buy again.

This is one amazingly comfortable shoe! Has a cool removable cushion insert; you don't feel like you're wearing a flat soled shoe! Nothing to break in, no rubbing. I wear a size 10 and I had no problem - true to size. Great style! Looks great with jeans or shorts. So glad I purchased!

Love them. So comfy. I usually wear a size 8, but because the height in the toes is narrower than usual I had to go a half size up. Great with socks but a little loose without socks. The shape doesn't make them look too big on my short legs. I love the width of Keens; nice and wide!

First off - I love Keen shoes. I worked in them two or three days a week. But having said that, I really wish Keen would make a good canvas shoes with some arch support. I love how these look but I'm sure I will add some kind of insert later. Also the first time out, I got bad blisters on the back of my heels. Looks like I will be taking my time breaking these in.

I am super bummed about this shoe. I usually wear an 8.5, and really debated about ordering a 9 because sometimes Keens run small. However, I have narrow heels, so ordering large usually backfires for me. I ordered an 8.5 and for the 1st couple wears (inside the 1st time so I could return them), they seemed to fit great. Then, mysteriously, I put them on a 3rd time and my toes are rubbing against the front. They really are not as comfortable as they should be for the money, and I can't return them now, because I wore them out. Keen really needs to get it together on their sizing.

I bought these shoes to wear with jeans this spring on days when it's not warm enough to wear sandals yet. They are super cute. The inserts are removable to accommodate orthotics.

I've started wearing my Keen Arcata shoes as soon as I got them. They were just what I was looking for, casual but comfortable. I have a long narrow foot and appreciate the fact that Keens carry a 10 1/2 size. I wore these on a trip to California and walked all over San Francisco and found them to be very comfortable.

I get lots of comments on these shoes whenever I wear them. Everyone thinks they are so cute! There is not as much arch support as I had hoped and the heal tends to rub. I hope that gets better as they break in.

These arrived the day before our Spain vacation. Wore them, along with my Paradise Sandals and Venice H2 water sandals. All my travel shoes are Keens! Comfortable, stylish...we walked everywhere and my feet were still happy at the end of the day. True to size, no problems from day one. I wear them with lightweight no-show socks.

I first ordered these shoes in gray, to wear while working in the garden. Neighbors passing by were commenting on the cute shoes! Instead of the flowers. They were so comfortable from the get-go that I ordered another pair in turquoise to wear around the house. The best thing about them: flat shoestrings that stay tied!
