Cool and Easy Going- just like the town it's named after - I really enjoy my Austin’s. They are extremely comfortable and look cool too.

Good shoe - This shoe looks different from the picture. It laces higher on the foot than other Keen shoes. After all that is said the shoe is great.

Brands I'd also recommend: Any Keen shoe, have traveled and wlaked all over Europe in these shoes.

Excellent shoes - These are awesome shoes. Light-weight, comfortable, and good looking, I forget at times I am wearing shoes. Like Keen shoes in general, they are a godsend for those who spend time on their feet.

Most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. I typically wear Vans, Docs or Simples, but these Keens are by far the most comfy I've owned. The factory insoles are very springy and supportive. I normally wear a size 15 in most shoes, but the size 14 Austins fit me like a glove. I have a wide foot (about an EE or EEE width) and the large toe box is a welcome accommodation.

Works for me! I have narrow, flat feet and wear custom insoles with almost all of my shoes. I however kept the original insoles in the Austin and they work beautifully. These shoes were extremely comfortable right out of the box. Great arch support.

Perfect fit AND comfort! The Keen Austin shoes are possibly the best shoes I've ever worn! While the look of a Keen is a bit unconventional (and takes some getting accustomed to), the fit and comfort--all-day comfort!--is unmatched. I attend trade shows for the art materials and hot-rod industries, where you're on your feet ALL DAY EVERYDAY...Keen is NUMBER ONE! I have two pair of the Austins, and FOUR Keen sandals. I just wish they made golf shoes!!! Hopefully soon...are you listening, Keen??

Quirky & Shy - For a $100 shoe Keen has missed one mark: decent shoe laces. This is my first pair of Keen. I became interested in Keen after seeing my trendy friends sport their sandals. The Austin looked like it fit the bill for around town comfort, and it does with almost flying colors. This shoe has quirky good looks while providing rugged wear, and that makes it a nice package. But, something about this shoe isn't right with the width ~ it seems to run narrow, and thereby seems to barely cover the topside of the foot. The laces too are barely long enough to tie a decent knot. After changing out the laces and some breakin all is fine with this shoe. However, what's with the short laces?

Keen Austin "finally a shoe that fits" As usual I went to a local REI to try these on before I purchased them on the internet and found that they felt for me a little larger than the size indicated. I had a few issues with my right heel rubbing a little (which is quite usual for me, nothing a couple of bandages couldn’t temporarily fix) from the first wear. Maybe after a couple of times walking around the neighborhood they began to loosen up to a perfect fit. At first I was a bit skeptical about the WIDE toe bed, but after you get use to the look the feel is awesome, my toes actually lay naturally as opposed to being all scrunched up. Great shoe, now we’ll see how long they last. If these guys are durable which I have a feeling they are, I have a feeling these will be my new brand of shoe! I would recommend them to everyone and I have! Oh a plug for Zappos, they rock on fast shipping and a quality product!

My boyfriend loves these - I recently bought these for my boyfriend in the brown with burnt orange trim. He loves them and wears them all the time! They have a very cool, casual, rugged look and feel to them- I would def. recommend them.

Excellent ...as expected from Keen! I & my family own many pairs of Keens, typically we have worn the Newport H2 variety, but also the Yogui as well as the Targhee; the Austin style was purchased as I thought I was purchasing the Bronx style. Having already read the Bronx reviews, I expected the shoe to run small. When I tried the size 12 it fit just right, so I was very pleased as that is my normal size. Unlike the Bronx this shoe is true to size (at least in the larger sizes). This shoe fits like a glove and requires no break-in.

Nice but a little off - These look cool, and they have the same ergonomic footbed as other Keen shoes, but the size is inexplicably just slightly off. I wear a 13 men's and my feet are wide. Keens are just about the only shoes I can squeeze my feet into. While the Bronx fits me like a glove, the Austin is a little tighter- so much so that I feel some fatigue at the end of the day. My question is, why?

Great shoe! This shoe fits perfectly (order 1/2 size larger than Keen sandal size). No break-in period required--very comfortable and supportive right out of the box. Love the look for work and travel.

Keen Rules Again! I must say that I am so hard on shoes, and the Keens keep coming back for more. I weigh over 400lbs and I have struggled my whole life to find shoes that give enough support. Well the Keens are amazing; I never have sore feet after wearing my Keens, especially the Austins. They are a great fit. I now own 6 pair of Keens and I am looking as I write this to buy another pair.

Brands I'd also recommend: The Bronx, Targhee, Newport H2, Ashland cloggs, I can imagine any Keen.

Excellent! Very comfortable, supportive, and good looking also. Love the wide toebox and super-cushioned insole. Keen is the fit that my foot has been looking for! And Zappos shipping was lightning quick!

No break-in period, feels like heaven, as cool as casual men's shoes get.

Bob Weston of the Shellac of North America band suggested these shoes. He claimed they were very comfortable, rugged and wide. I now agree.

This is a very comfortable shoe that is very well made. I need a very durable casual shoe. In the past I have worn several Columbia models, but I have found the Keen Austin a wonderful alternative. I would but a Keen shoe again and receomend it to my friends and family. Once I find a shoe that fits me well I tend to stay with it until it gets discontinued (ha, ha) and this one fits the bill for now.
