Broke two bones in my leg and this was the only shoe I could wear for months. A gem.

This is the perfect shoe. Unbelievably comfortable. I always wear a size 10. Most shoes don't come in a 10 1/2. Often, my toe touches the front of one shoe, and if I go up to an 11, it's way too big. Keen offers this shoe in a 10 1/2, and the fit is absolutely perfect. Also, you might think this shoe would look clunky and huge in this size, not so. They are cuter than cute. Thank you. This truly is the perfect shoe. I'm in love. And as always, Zappos is the perfect place to shop. Couldn't be better.

And who will glove my pretty little feet? Keen. Wear Around Lace is as close to lambskin as a shoe can get and still have some structure. Instant satisfaction, no break-in, arch support properly placed and scandalously funky. So soft, the leather folds when I flex my toes. So soft, I may wear them to bed tonight. As perfect for stealthing the cathedral at Kirkwall as they are for dead-heading the daylilies at home.

Cute, comfortable shoe. I ordered at 5pm PST and received the shoe by noon the next day. I ordered a size 9 (I am between and 8.5 and a 9) and the shoe felt a little big without socks. Had I ordered them in winter, they would have worked just fine. I returned the shoe because they were not exactly what I was looking for.

Let me first state that I normally have trouble w/ Keens b/c my foot is narrow, however this shoe is snug and comfy so if you have a wider foot these most likely won't work for you. These are the most comfortable shoes straight out of the box I've ever worn. I wore them all day with no blisters, no friction or soreness at all and my feet blister with almost every pair of shoes. I was also walking on pavement for almost 8 hours and these shoes bore up very well will very little heel pain, another rarity for me. The inner sock is as good as wearing regular socks and the shoes breathe very well. Plus they are absolutely adorable. If you shy away from Keens b/c of the fit but long for the comfort do yourself a favor and get a pair of these.

Not for the wide of feet - I am a repeat Keen shoe buyer. I have had good luck with them because I have wide feet and they have a roomy toe box. That is not the case with these. This pair of shoes is very narrow compared to normal Keen width. However, I did give the shoes 5 stars because I like the style and believe that I would have been happy with the shoes had they been wider.

Another great Keen shoe - True to size and very comfortable. I like the look as well; it's a little different.

Most comfortable shoe - These shoes are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I bought size 10.5 and the sizing was true. I have a wide foot and I was worried that these might be too narrow but they fit just fine. It has moderate arch support. However, I use orthotics so this is not an issue for me. You may wear them with or without socks comfortably. I bought the blue and when I received them the color was a bit darker than I thought they would be. But they are still a nice looking shoe. I am so pleased with them I am going to buy another pair.

Really comfortable - Very comfortable with no break-in period needed. I've had both knees replaced so comfort is my number one concern. I love these! They look kind of funky but I don't care. I wear them with jeans and slacks.
