Customer Reviews KEEN Kanyon

Another great Keen. I've had the Newports and the Venice before, this one is much lighter but without I feel losing support. Little bit narrower than Venice. Color note: they look kind of brown in the picture, they are totally grey, no brown at all.

Bought these for my son to wear during spring and summer months. He says they are very comfortable. I like the fact that his toes are protected.

This didn't work for my husband. The width seemed a bit narrower than usual for a medium width shoe and so the sides of the shoes rubbed uncomfortably against the toe area. So we sent it back and will try out another version of this shoe because the look and arch support was great.

I was/am a fan, but i confess I expect everything to last forever! I bought a pair in spring 2011 to replace another brand that smelled extremely foul after 2 weeks of use and I was quite happy with the keens UNTIL the heel section pulled out from between the footbed and the sole ..no obviously easy way to fix that .but I got nearly 4 years of moderate use out of them and the tread was somewhat worn.

I love Keens. I have shoes and boots. But though I bought three sizes to get it right, even the smallest was way too long. I bought a 9.5 golf shoe. The 8.5 Kanyon was an inch too long! Wassup with this?

Favorite shoes of the summer. I was going to return them because I thought they were a little narrow. I am 3-4E. I let them sit and tried them again a month later. Don't know what I was thinking. I loved these and will definitely buy again. That said, they may run a bit wide.

I have wide feet and high arches so these Keens are one of the only styles of sandal that fit my feet. Thank you Keen and thank you Zappos!

I bought these for my 16-year-old son. Because his feet were still growing, I have resisted buying expensive sandals for him for the past few years, but this year, since his old ones had consistently rubbed his heel, I figured it was time. I knew Keens were great because my daughter, husband and I each have a pair and we all love them. They are comfortable right out of the box and perfect for hiking, exploring or just walking city streets. My son told me several times on his first weekend wearing them "Mom, I love these sandals!" He finds them very comfortable and he is pleased with the way they look too.

I purchased these for my husband who said, "why do I need these?" but in a matter of days he was wearing them daily. He wears them to walk, on the boat, when it rains and tooling around town. He says they're very comfortable and I find them to be better looking than most of these kinds of shoes -- the burnt sienna is a great color! I'm thinking of getting him a second pair in another color. Great purchase!

The Kanyon is simply excellent. I still have two pairs of my almost 12 years old Keen sandals which are perfectly good after a decade of heavy use (on land and in ocean. The Kanyon is very comfortable, light and flexible. Good for walking.

This is my 3rd pair of keens. They are great, comfortable and fit the same every time. Zappos is great, just get online order, and they arrive. Great.

Finally shoes I like! Fourth time is a charm. I just wanted a hardy sandal or "open" summer sneaker that I could walk comfortably in under normal circumstances (not hiking). I am a woman but wear size 12 or 10.5 mens, so it is difficult to find shoes that are both comfortable and nice looking. Though these aren't beautiful by any means, they are comfortable and adjustable to an extent. I actually think the closed, hard toe is clever, because I intend to wear them in in a place where I could use the added protection. Also, I was concerned that a shoe like this would cause "foot farts" while stepping (trapped air under foot) but thankfully this barely happens.

Great sandals. Supportive and easy to wear loosely for a stroll to the store or to tighten up for that walk up the waterfall. I recommend that you take a few days of break-in so they were good to go all day in the wild.

I am very disappointed with my attempts to find a new pair of Keen sandals. I love my old ones, which are a discontinued model that I have had since 2007. I tried two different pairs of these Keen Kanyons - the first had a ridge running lengthwise in the left one, and the second had ridges running widthwise on both shoes. These are ridges that I could not feel with my fingers or see, but they were very noticeable under the ball of my foot when I put the sandals on and stood up. They would have killed my feet to walk around in them for any length of time. Also, Keens used to be known for their roomy toe boxes, but Keen sandals and shoes alike now seem to be no more than average width. I've marked "true to width" below because these are supposed to be D width, but they are narrow compared to my old Keen sandals and the 4 pair of Keen shoes I own.

Let me state first I am 61 and need shoes for work that are comfortable and don't make my feet sweat. Too many sneakers wrap the foot up and don't allow for air flow so my feet get really hot and uncomfortable which is why I selected this open air concept. It works pretty well. The draw string allows me to tighten them up nice. They are comfortable enough but I wish the foot pad was thicker and softer.

So to start I will say these are very comfortable, so the problem for me is that I am. 6'3" football player, I brought these on vacation to the Caribbean and they could not stand up to the daily abuse of a big guy, price was right, comfort is great, durability falls short.

Great outdoor/water sandal/shoes! We just returned from vacation in Jamaica where I purchased these for running around the island and climbing The Falls.... Worked great!! Comfortable, supportive, & light-weight!

I bought these with the intent of replacing slider sandals for lake trips. Never worn a keen shoe before. I have a wide foot and a high arch. The shoe may run a shade large but not enough to change down a half size, pretty true to size. Width is great, I have a EE foot. Bottom line, if you are considering buying the shoe, GET IT! It is fantastic. I wear the shoe as much as I can to the point that I really don't care if it looks to casual at times. Comfort is what matters!

I bought these for my husband after shopping around for a year...he would not buy them for himself. He LOVES his Keen's! We both enjoy kayaking and going to the lake and river, so these are the perfect shoes for outdoor adventures!

I bought these to replace my two sets of Mion shoes that I wore for six years. They have been fantastic. Very comfortable and light. I walk an average of 5 miles a day in them and have had no problems of any kind. I intend to buy another pair in the near future.

These were great for a recent trip to the Galapagos Islands. Many of our landing were wet, with subsequent hiking. My feet were comfortable and well supported.

Very happy with the product. Ordered them for my husband for Christmas. Perfect fit, great price compared to other sites, order came very quick! This was my first time ordering from Zappos, and I'll certainly do it again!

I wear these shoes for kayaking. They have a sturdy, firm sole for good support both in the boat and while launching and landing. Their waterproof nature is a big plus, feet dry quickly.

I bought these shoes for my trip to Costa Rica and wasn't disappointed. The first time I wore them, I went on a hike through the rainforest then down to the beach without problem. They fit great, didn't require any breaking in, and were easy to clean with just a rinse in the ocean or shower without getting stiff or discolored. The tough but flexible sole took on the CR volcanic rock like a pro while the shoes upper saved my feet from scrapes and scratches. Though this style shoe isn't something I would typically buy, they were well worth the money and will be a great summer shoe on the my city's streets and I may even wear them in this year's Warrior Dash.

I have been a fan of Keen sandals ever since my 1st pair of Newports. I have worn them under all sorts of conditions in both North and South America. When my old pair finally started to show signs of wear I bought a replacement and switched models from Newport to Kanyons. The Kanyons are made of nylon webbing rather than leather so probably will not stretch quite as much. They are comfortable but are smaller and not quite as supportive as the other model.
