Not quite -
I ignored other reviews and ordered my size. It definitely felt at least a half size larger than marked, and is a very wide shoe. The closure is elastic and non adjustable. Although I thought it was really cute, I decided not to order a smaller size because I felt it would still be too wide and loose.

A good shoe -
I was looking for a comfortable Mary Jane. I love the Sienna, but wanted something in black. The Barcelona was the next best choice. I have very painful feet, so comfort the moment I put it on is a must. Although not as soft and comfortable as the Sienna, it is a close second. It is more sturdy and rigid than the Sienna. My thin 3/4 orthodic works great, too.

I think the "order a half-size smaller" advice is right-on.
These are quite comfortable, even though they feel a smidge too big on my feet (next time, I'll follow others' advice and go down a half-size). The day I got them, I wore them to a concert where I was on my feet all night, and my feet never hurt or got so much as a blister. A few weeks later, I wore them on a trip to NYC where I was walking all day, every day, and they proved great for that, too. This is my first pair of Keens, and I'll very likely be trying another pair next time I'm looking for something like these.

Satisfactory -
I originally ordered these half a size smaller as per recommendations and ended up re-ordering my actual size. It's a big wide, but not so much that it makes it difficult to walk; it just makes them comfortable. Very cute, comfy shoe and I get lots of compliments. Only con is that they don't breathe so well in the heat and the sole is somewhat hard, but an insole helped with both problems. I love them!

Fun red Keens -
The shoes look great and I've gotten comments on them from other people about how cool they are. They are comfortable enough in how they feel when I'm just standing. I just think that they look/feel a little funky when I walk. I'm not so into the strap that doesn't go straight across.

A bit too wide -
The shoes are sooo cute, but my feet are sooo narrow. I put my orthotics in them and heel cushions and they are still kind of wide. I may try wearing them with tights this fall. If a B-width is kind of iffy for you, try Keens on in the store first.

Keen needs to work on quality control -
I ended up trying several pairs of these shoes in the same size (different colors) and each one fit differently. I think Keen needs to work on that. I don't find the shoes to be amazingly comfortable - maybe I just didn't hit the exact perfect pair (the one that was the wrong color fit the best, of course!). I wore them on a trip and had to buy a couple different sets of padding inserts before I got them to not rip up the back of my heel. With the extra padding and more breaking-in, they've gotten to be better, but I don't know if I would buy another pair of Keens - I would definitely allow time for size exchanges if I tried it. The look is a little bit earth-motherly to me, but can be cute with the right outfit.

Love this shoe -
This shoe is terrific. I think I've worn them just about every day since I purchased them (about 2 wks now). I've worn them mostly w/o socks and they are very comfortable w/o any slippage or blistering. I ordered my size and they fit perfectly. I also purchased a pair of the Sienna ballet slipper in the same size. They required a bit more breaking in, I needed to wear a heel blister bandage to prevent chafing, but that was resolved after about 3 days of sockless wearing.
Both shoes are great if you find yourself on your feet a lot during the day.

Great everyday shoe -
I wear these shoes almost every day. They're very comfy and go with jeans, sweats, etc. I also love that I can slip them on and go without having to worry about laces. I have them in two colors. I highly recommend them.

So comfortable... like slippers -
I commute on foot. I walk an average of 2 miles a day and have found these shoes to be great. They were incredibly comfortable, right out of the box. There was no "breaking-in" time and no blisters. I ordered a 1/2 size smaller as recommended and it's a perfect fit, though it should be noted that I wear them sockless or with tights/stockings. They would be long enough, but not wide enough, to accommodate thicker socks. They're also super cute!!! They can be dressed up or down. As always Zappos was awesome. I received my order within 24 hours!!!

Marvelous MJs!
I LOVE these shoes! I have a pair of the RYKA Versas, which I also love, but they have velcro that wears out after awhile. I wanted to try these to avoid the velcro problem and they deserve all of the raves they have gotten! True to fit (order down 1/2 size). Comfortable from the get-go. After a few days of owning them, I taught kids ALL DAY on my feet and felt great!

Great, but not good for thick socks plus rec'd insole -
I love those cushy Thorlos socks Zappos sells, but these shoes do really need a nice insole for arch support & padding and that makes the space in the shoe snug for wearing thicker socks. Other than that caveat, I'm really happy with these guys and the apple is such a happy color.

Worth every penny -
I was told about these shoes by a district manager for my company. I am a hairstylist and, as you know we are on our feet pretty much all day long. I needed a shoe that was comfortable without the orthopedic look. These shoes are perfect if you are on your feet. I couldn't believe that I could order a shoe online and have it fit right. As stated in other reviews you should order a half size smaller. I have a wide foot and was concerned about this. I am glad I listened to the reviews; I was able to start wearing my shoes the next day when they came in. Thats right they did come the next day as stated. This is a great convenience for me. I will be purchasing another pair this month; again they are worth every penny!!!!!

These shoes run a little big (just a little) but are perfect with little thicker socks. They are comfortable from the beginning. Great shoes!

Love It -
This is such a nice shoe. It's very light, very comfortable right out of the box, and my usual size 8 fit perfectly. I wear it barefoot or with light socks, but could wear slightly heavier socks with it. It has support and I'd say moderate arch support; not as much over-all support as the Presidio, but that really is a sturdy walking shoe. You can walk a lot in this, too (and I am a walker). Also makes your foot look small and very dainty. Yet the toe box is roomy enough to be completely comfortable. They remind me of traditional Chinese shoes, a great design. My heel stays in and doesn't slip out. Just wore it for Christmas Eve dinner (with bright pink socks) with friends. Forgot I had them on, just like slippers with an outdoor sole and inner Keens support. Am tempted to buy another pair. That says it all.

Love these Mary Janes!
I have hard to fit feet, flat arch, and went from a size 10 to 10.5 because of this. These shoes were perfect right out of the box. I have a medium width foot and they were a bit big, nothing a pair of socks didn't fix. I ordered these in black and tan, sent the tan ones back - too plain. Love the black ones! Perfect weekend shoe!

Barcelona Mary Jane -
I love these shoes! I walked around Disney Land for four days in them without any problems! I would definitely purchase them again. I did order a half size smaller as suggested.

Finally an "over-the-counter" shoe with a European toe box! I confess I actually tried on this shoe in a local store because I was desperate for something to be easy on-off in the airport. I also have notoriously wide feet and generally only buy European shoes. Oh, did I mention that I also had a broken toe at the time? This shoe met all the stipulations! I was extremely surprised and pleased! I came home and ordered it from Zappos because they had the color I wanted in the size I needed and got it to me the next day. (My local store said I needed to wait 2 weeks that I didn't have to wait.) I am very pleased to have found both Keen and Zappos!

Almost better than barefoot -
Best Keens ever, no clown toe, but still roomy enough in the toe box. Comfy right out of the box. Great for high arch or slightly narrow heel and wide toe box people.

Crazy Looking Arch Under the Insole -
I like the idea of Keen's but have discovered they are not for me due to the pronounced arch. These have a big hill shaped arch, covered by an insole with a large heel section creating a heels higher than toes fit that I didn't expect from a casual shoe.

Cute but comfortable -
Probably the most comfortable Mary Jane around. Cute enough for casual day at work, but comfortable enough for a day's shopping.
I did find that the horizontal seam on the heel rubbed me a bit (I have narrow heels), but a little moleskin over it took care of that. I have high insteps, but the strap doesn't dig in at all, and neither does the toe box.
Good arch support, and the shoe accepts other inserts if you need them. The suede is soft and flexible, which keeps the edges from rubbing too much.
This shoe does run long--I normally wear a 9, but needed an 8-1/2. That felt a little short in the toe at first, but it quickly loosened after wearing them for a day.
I bought the black, but am thinking about getting it in red, too!

Very comfortable shoe! The only complaint I would have is that the fit can look a bit loose and therefore very casual. If you don't mind that - this is a great shoe. I had the same style in red and went down a size for my new pair. They run big.

Look but don't touch.
I love Keens in so many ways, but these are the MOST disappointing pair I've tried to date. I bought them because of the fabulous reviews I read and since I knew my size from previous sizing, had no problem.
However, they are so uncomfortable. My feet have blisters on the sides and my heels were so cut up they bled all over the back of the shoe. There is no support and no comfort. I have an older model Mary Janes of Keens and had no problems like this before. VERY disappointing. I will take a lot more time in dropping nearly $100 on Keens in the future!

 |  | Wow...Thanks for the expedited delivery of my recent order. What a pleasant surprise! A friend admired my walking shoes over the holiday weekend. I looked online for a vendor of the brand and saw Zappos. I remembered seeing an interview of executives of successful customer centric companies and seeing Zappos among them. My niece was visiting and mentioned that she regularly orders shoes from your company. Her recommendation passed to me and I introduced my friend with the timely delivery of her surprise package. Online shopping has become my shopping method of choice and I expect to use your site regularly.
Surprised and Happy,
