My new Keen Presidios ROCK!!! I just got these shoes for my birthday and I LOVE them. This is my second pair of Keens. I also have the Providence clog which I also LOVE. They are both 7 1/2 and I usually wear a 7. I think Keens seem to be marked a little bigger than they really are. My son has some Bronx and it was the same thing. He does NOT wear a size 11 but that's what they say. Anyway, these shoes do not seem or look as wide as my other pair of Keens, they look really good if worn barefoot with shorts so you don't look like a duck. And they have the anti odor anatomic footbed so your feet don't, well, get stinky. I am so excited about these shoes. The only thing is, I don't know if it's because they are brand new, but they are digging into my ankles a little bit right now, just on the outsides. I am sure as they get broken in it won't be a problem.

Too comfortable - This is my first pair of Keens. I put them on and wore them for 12 hrs. shopping with my friends. They were extremely comfortable even with thin socks. I especially liked the "wiggle room" for my toes. I have a bad knee and plantar fasciitis and didn't need my insoles at all for perfect comfort. I'm sold on Keens. I usually wear a 9.5 but the 10 fit better.

I fell in love with Keen shoes after buying a pair of Bronx IIs last year. I pretty much wore them every single day since then, so naturally it was time for another pair and I settled on the Presidio. The fit is great, never any sore sports or blisters like I experience in any other shoe, and they're just soo comfortable. I normally wear a 6.5 but I have to go to a 7 in Keen shoes to get enough height in the toe box without sacrificing fit anywhere else. The Presidio feels a bit stiffer, or more supportive than the Bronx. Also, the new shoelaces in the Presidio seem to stay laced tight all day, unlike the Bronx which always untied after a few hours. Truly a great shoe.

More comfortable than athletic shoes - I wear New Balance athletic shoes most of the time, for comfort, support and ample toe room. The Presidio is the first shoe that is going to make me abandon athletic shoes. I put them on and forgot I have shoes on at all. Great

Very casual - This shoe is a great cross between a sneaker and a shoe, the only complaint I had is the back of the shoe rubbed the bone above my heel so I had to get a heel liner to improve the comfort.

Love, Love LOVE these shoes. I'm an over-pronator, and have trouble with my back when my shoes don't give me really great support. I'm also a mom with four very active children, and am on the go with them all day long. I own custom orthotic inserts for my shoes, and usually need them. Well, not so with the Keen Presidio. The insole that comes with them works very well on its own; but if I want some more serious support, I take out the insole and replace with my orthotic. If I were to use my orthotics with them all the time, I'd buy a thin, flat insole to give my toes a bit of cushioning. I've worn these shoes all day long and then some, and they're great. No foot fatigue, no back pain. I ordered the brown pair, and while I was initially disappointed that they weren't all suede (the top of the shoe is regular smooth leather), I'm no longer disappointed. That leather is tougher than the sides, and despite a lot of hard use already, they still look great. The generous rubber toe has seen plenty of bumps and scrapes, and still looks good as new. Long story short, great fit, excellent support, and rugged upper make this a favorite of this mom with small kids. These are my first pair of Keens, and definitely not going to be my last!

My new favorite pair of shoes - The only reason they don't get a 5 on comfort is because there was a rough seam in the right heel that rubbed my Achilles tendon until I smoothed it down. Other than that, these shoes are perfect.

I just got these yesterday. I was looking for something that felt like my Asics GT-2100 running shoes, but with solid sides. (I live in Seattle, where wearing well ventilated shoes results in soggy socks.) I have had a hard time finding shoes with a toe box as big as the Asics, and these are the best I've found. All the Keens have big toes and narrow heels, but the Presidio is lightweight and doesn't have a buckle point at the bottom inside eyelet like some of the other models. The heel will probably take a little time to break in, and I would have preferred less-contrasting stitching, but they're still very comfy and rather cute.

Cute shoe - I really like the way these look, but they are very tight where the upper part of the heel meets my achilles tendon. Was going to buy in other colors but I'm having a hard time breaking them in.

10 hole all the way. My alltime favourite Doc boot. I have worn DMs for years now, but always come back to the black ten hole boot. Stylish, whatever you wear, wherever you go, if you're on your feet all day, Doc's do the job. If I had to give one piece of advice to anyone it would be, "Buy a pair of Doc Boots" You will not be disappointed.

The best boot ever!! I've had my Doc ten eyes for almost nine years now. I picked them up while in Europe while in the military, and they've been my all-purpose footwear. They're still in great shape, and have only gotten more comfortable as the years have rolled along. These shoes have endured countless miles of travel, and show no sign of giving up. If you do not own a pair, you have no idea what you are missing.

I am 50+ and Docs are not just for the young!!!!!! I bought mine when I was driving Big Rigs with my husband and could not find a good work boot small enough.(4.5 boys) I have had mine now for about 8 or 9 years and they still look great.

Disappointed. Over all, Doc's are by far the best deal out there. But I was disappointed that they didn't even last 18 months. Which is about twice as long as most other boots have lasted me. After wearing the soles near flat, they formed cracks and the leather insole started ripping appart.

Another great pair - Just got a pair of new Docs days ago, and this being my upteenth pair in about 14 years. Nothing, and I mean nothing, beats a good pair of Docs. I've been reading some reviews where people balked at how long the break-in time is. Lemme tell a little secret folks, it's called mink oil. 8/10/14 eye, all great all recommended. Also want to give "kudos" to Zappos for making transactions the easiest one could hope for. thanks.

Doc Martens 10 eye boots are the best I have ever had - I bought my first pair of Docs about 20 years ago when I was 15. I have worn Docs ever since: 8 eye, 10 eye and 14 eye. Of all of them I find the 10 eye the most comfortable. They take a little breaking in. After that it is incredible hard wearing comfort. The soles seem to mould to your feet. They also look great. I don't wear anything else

Doc's Rule - I have bought nothing but Doc's for the last 12 years now. I'd have to say the best of the bunch would have to be 10's with 8's coming in a close 2nd. I'd rather walk bare foot when wear anything elsa.
