Comfy shoe for walking, traveling. I was looking for a multi-purpose shoe for traveling for work. I needed a closed toe, comfortable shoe that looked presentable enough for meetings in rural Cambodia, but that I could still walk around in all day and if I got caught in rain or mud wouldn't be the end of the world. This one did the trick. Usually Keens are way too wide for my narrow foot, but and this one was a bit wide, but still stayed on my foot. I did try a smaller size (I am between a 6.5-7) to compensate for the width of Keens, but found the 7 fit much better. Good shoe!

I absolutely love these shoes. They are cute, quirky and comfortable! They have great flex and I wear them just about every day: to work, at home or out. They are very versatile. I own a lot of Keen shoes for all of these reasons. They are a bit pricey, but it comes down to, you get what you pay for. Period.

The shoes are very comfortable, nice and wide across the toe, but a little large in the heel. One small issue: the first time I wore them I was unfortunate enough to step in a mud puddle. When I cleaned the shoes, the color faded significantly in the area where I rubbed with a cloth. I think some shoe polish will fix the issue, but it was kind of disappointing to have that type of a problem.

I like the look of this shoe, a much trimmer and dressier style than my Sydneys. However, the rubber bumper rubbed the top of my big toes in the 7.5, and the 8 was too long; my heels slipped out as I walked. I sent them back and will continue looking for a nice-looking flat or ballerina that's comfortable for all-day walking when I travel.

My order arrived in two days, how cool was that? This a cute pair of comfortable shoes. Needed something a little dressy, but not a high heel. They are comfortable with enough arch support I can wear them for several hours. I haven't worn them all day and walked the mall in them, but were just what I needed. I could have used a 10.5, but the 10 will work and the insole is removable if I want to wear my orthotics.

Love Keens because some of their styles are wide. These shoes are wide and very comfortable. They were comfortable from day one. They look good on. Will buy them in other colors.

I ordered these in both the black and brown in my usual size 8. If my feet were any bigger they would not fit. I wear them with little socks that are almost like hose so they don't show. Any sock thicker than that will make them too tight on my feet. They are very comfortable and look really cute with jeans and shorts. I love them!

I get lots of compliments on these shoes, and they are super comfortable! I wore them with bare feet easily the day I got them, because the seams and edges are so soft. I heard Keens run 1/2 size small, but these fit me true to size.

The Keen Erin Ballerina is adorable, but it seems to run about half a size large, or maybe it\'s just too wide in the heel. I walked right out of the right shoe twice and the left one rubbed a blister on my heel, but at the next smaller size, my toes would be hitting the end of the shoe. I was hoping these would fit like the Keen Amsterdams, which are the most comfortable shoes I\'ve ever owned, and I\'m so disappointed.

I really like these Erin Ballerinas. I was a little nervous the first day I wore them because even though they were the right size, the connection between the mesh and the leather seemed to be rubbing my foot in a way that was hurting. I wore them for about an hour and took them off. The second time I wore them all day and they were fine. I'm not sure if it just needed to be a bit stretched from wear, but they are great now. I really wear these quite often and they go with so much. Definitely wish I'd bought them in more colors, but I suppose there's time for more colors in the future. I usually run between a 7.5 and an 8, and I got these in an 8. They fit well with a bit of comfort room, but if you like a snugger shoe, perhaps order your normal size.

Shoes are comfortable. Boyfriend thought they were cute. I have wide feet so they fit great. They rub on the top a little bit but that will probably go away as I wear them more.

The shoes are cute and comfy, but definitely size down. I bought a 7 1/2 and after wearing them a few times they freely slip off my feet. If I hadn't given them a trial run, I would have returned them for something with a strap.

I have wide feet with bunions and no shoe is ever comfortable or fits well right out of the box. I read the reviews on this shoe and thought I'd give it a try. I got them in red and in my normal size. I thought that even if they hurt a little I can still wear them as casual weekend shoes. I bought a different brand at the same time too. Well, they arrived the next day and I loved them immediately! I loved them so much I sent the others back, with ease, and got a pair of Keens in black too! I alternate colors and wear them at work every day. They are so comfortable I wear them everywhere now, not just for work. Thanks Zappos!

Maybe it's the Seattle girl in me (my hometown), but I love Keens. These are quirky and still pretty. I think that Keens run about a half size small, but are great for a wider foot. This shoe is great with dresses and leggings!

These shoes are great! They are much lighter than they look, and don't make your feet as hot as a lot of other flats do. The meshy-stuff helps them breathe, but I wish they made it out of a little less scratchy and more stylish material. They have good arch support, and they are comfortable even after walking long distances! I have yet to be let down by Keens.

Great, comfortable walking shoe. Unlike most comfortable shoes, looks okay with a denim or other casual skirt. Good for narrow heels; doesn't slip.

I ordered this shoe in the cadet blue, which is fabulous. However, I had to return the first pair I ordered because they were so loose I couldn't keep them on my feet, and exchanged them for a smaller size. Even with the smaller size, they are still slightly loose. They must run quite wide compared to Keen's usual sizing, as I have gotten ballerina-style shoes from Keen before and not had a problem. Although I am disappointed with the fit, since Keen shoes usually fit incredibly well, I've kept them as I just love the color and the style is cute and fun. If buying this shoe, I'd suggest ordering a half size smaller than usual.

too short -
I ordered this shoe in an 8 and I can sometimes wear a 7.5. The shoe is just too short. My big toe scrunches against the end. UGH... I want to keep them but have to return them. I assume that the rubber toe will not expand.

Cute, but uncomfortable. These look better than they do in the picture; the XXX stitching does not stand out at all, which to me is a good thing. They feel very comfortable until I start walking in them. The fit around my baby toes is very awkward. I've only walked around the house on carpet and hardwood floors and they are very slippery and don't grip well on the hardwood floors.

I truly like this shoe, and I hate to send it back, but the length of the toebox is just a little short. I\'ve learned over the years that a little pressue on your toe can become a big problem. I have this problem with some other brands as well, so it\'s likely just my anatomy. The support and comfort of the rest of the shoe is great. I think the heel may run a little wide.

This shoe is extremely comfortable. I have a wide foot and usually have trouble finding a shoe that is this comfortable. The shoe is cushioned and almost feels like a pillow. The red color is very cute, too! Extremely satisfied with this purchase. I wear an 8.5 to a 9, and the 8.5 fit me just fine.

Well, I needed a comfortable ballet flat to wear with skirts and thought this would be a good one. It is! But I did order my usual size and it was too big, sent it back and got the correct size (1/2 size smaller) the next day! Best service and that alone will keep me coming back to Zappos. Thank you. Anyway, the Shitake brown color is going to be great for the fall. I am happy.

I have had these shoes for a few months now, and I can't imagine how I got by without them! I wear them all the time. I have a large (10 1/2 or 11, depending on the brand), wide foot, and based on the reviews, I got the 11, but those fell off my feet. I exchanged them, and my smaller size has worked great. I have never had a lot of success with ballerina flats (they can be very uncomfortable), but these are just wonderful. They're cute (I particularly like them with skirts or skinny jeans) and very comfortable. I work on my feet, and these shoes have done just fine (I'll admit that they're not as supportive as my other Keens, but my other Keens are also not as cute and feminine). One final note regarding comfort: I have a developing bunion, and many shoes can really cause pain. The innovative little mesh "bumper" (the strip that goes around the inner edge of the leather portion of the shoe) is perfect for accommodating the tender region. These have been a really valuable addition to my wardrobe, money well spent.

\r\nThis is my first purchase of Keens and I found them to be cute and comfortable. They go quite nicely with cropped pants and I also wear them to work where I am a practicing esthetician and massage therapist. I will say that next time I order this particular shoe, I will order a half size smaller as they are starting to stretch and are not as snug. I will be able to wear them with a pair of socks this winter though so am satisfied with my purchase.

i\'ve been looking for a closed toe flat to wear with prana capris on cool days (most of this summer). these are the first wide, comfortable, sporty black flats i\'ve found. i usually wear an 8, and these are a bit big (7.5 was too small). i\'m planning on wearing these for museuming, shopping, site-seeing and schlepping to the grocery store.\r\n

 |  | Dear Zappos, My friend Tim (Concord OH) told me you were THE place to buy shoes and boy was he right! I returned the one pair of New Balance 608's today at the post office. When I filled out the return form online last night, I also ordered another pair in 4E and it arrived at 3:30 pm today! WHAT SERVICE!!! I will be keeping this pair as they fit great! I have an awful time buying shoes, and I appreciate your free return policy. I will be sure to tell everyone that Zappos is THE place to shop online! Thank you again, Thom S. |  | ~ Thom S., September 23 2009
