Keen Palermo Mary Jane SKU #7418469(View on Zappos.com Classic)

If it weren't for the strap. Everything about these shoes is comfortable, except for that darn strap! I love Mary Janes and have all sorts of different versions of them by other brands, and never have I had a problem with a strap like this. And even though I keep trying to wear them, it doesn't seem to stretch out.

I love the look of these shoes, compared to the Sydney that I wear for work (ready for pair #3). If only they had a buckle to adjust. The elastic can get tight, when the feet are tired and a bit swollen. I'd buy another pair if they take the elastic strap away, and replace it with a buckle closure!!

Comfortable, but so clunky looking. Next to my trusty sneakers, these seemed like the shoes of a giant--and I'm usually size 5.5/6. Three stars overall because they were a bit heavy.

Great buy - I love these shoes, but they do run a bit small. I bought 10.5 and had to exchange them for size 11.

Worth getting used to - My only real problem with these shoes is that the elastic strap on the top is very, very tight until they're broken in. I have narrow, skinny feet, so it's not that my feet were falling out of the top of them, but they are simply very tight in order to hold your foot in place. After a week or so of regular wear, they're fabulous.

They look good but that darn strap... OK. I love these shoes. They look soo cute. The footbed is comfortable. You can wear them without socks and your foot doesn’t get sweaty and gross. The heel is a little raised but really cute and comfortable. The look is just wonderful. I wear an 8.5. I have pretty average feet so I know that I don’t need anything special in order for a great shoe to fit. BUT, these shoes have a strap that is elastic and it really doesn’t give as much as it should. The strap strangles your foot. I dont have a high arch. I think it’s the construction of the strap. It’s too short and it doesn’t stretch as much as it should. Now, it does stretch a bit. But not as much as I expected it. I kept the shoes because I was determined to make them work. They are just too cute to return. But, the strap makes it so I can only wear them at most once a week. The rest of the time I am recovering from the red, raw welt it forms on the top and inside of my foot. (Where the seam is located). I still like them; I wish Keen would re-engineer these shoes. They would be sooo worth it if it weren’t for that stupid strap.

I work in an area where I have to walk from building to building often during the day and when it's cold and snowy my feet are just plain cold and feel damp all day. I think these will take care of that issue! Felt true to size with a little room left for hefty socks. Looking forward to next snowstorm (kinda!) to try these out.

Wanted a more refined look - I didn't walk around in these much but they seemed to fit fine. I like the look too but the shoe lost out to another, more refined competitor.

Great Mary Janes! I own several pairs of Keens. I bought these to replace costume shoes that I have to spend 10 hours a day in. These are a dream! I did get some sore spots rubbing where the straps are sewn - but I chalk that up to the amount of time I was in them at a stretch and walking vigorously. However, they are breaking in nicely.
