Customer Reviews KEEN Cortina

Stylish and comfortable - I bought this shoe to wear with pants and jeans in the snowy country on ice and through the slush while still wanting "style and attractiveness" as well as comfort and utility. I am happy with the choice. I have other Keen shoes, but this one must be bought in a larger size; for example, in a normal street shoe, I wear a size 8 1/2. In other Keen shoes, I order a size 9; in this shoe I had to order a size 9 1/2. I'm on my feet a lot, and this shoe is very comfortable.

Great shoes! Perfect shoe for light, snowy, winter walks. If you wear thick socks, get a whole size larger as they're snug. I got a half size larger based on other reviews and I wear thin socks. Great value for the price!

Love these shoes! I am recovering from a broken bone in my foot, and these helped my transition from the cast boot that I had to wear for 4 weeks. Very comfortable, good support, plenty of toe room. I bought the red ones and I love everything about them! PS, I followed the advice of others and bought a full size larger than usual and they fit fine.

Awesome Shoe! This is my second pair of Keen's and I'm hooked! Love the comfort, Love the look and especially love the overall quality of the shoe. I recommend you order a full size larger than you normally wear. Zappos makes your online shopping experience a breeze! Try this shoe!!

A softer side of Keen- Zappos advises to order 1 full size larger that normal; I did that and it worked out. There's a lot more cushioning in this shoe but has the same great look. Keens are the best!

Had to buy 1 full size larger than usual.

Great for big feet. I love Keens because they make my huge feet look normal! I got the orange ones and love them. They are pretty comfortable, except they do rub a little at the back, but the right socks seem to have solved that problem. (I have a pair of the Bronx style also and do not have that problem).

Keen Fan- I love Keen shoes, this one does look a bit odd, and so unless you already know this about Keen shoes- you may want to rethink. It looks like a hiking boot when you have it on (my roommate thinks they look like baby moose). I really like them, but they are a less formal shoe than most brown leather shoe. Also, a whole size smaller than you usually wear, so order one whole size up.

These are seriously comfortable shoes. They look like hiking shoes, but are light as a feather. They are a bit funky which I was a little nervous about, but everyone at work loved them. Go at least a half size up. I now have 8 pairs of KEEN's and love them all!

Usual Keen Comfort - Keen does it again. Great shoe that is comfortable right out of the box. It appears that the Keen Cortina does not have as high arch support as past models like Santa Cruz, but they still feel great. If you have wide feet try Keens you will not be disappointed.

Another winner from Keen's - Keen's just gets better and better. The Cortina is very comfortable, good looking and is easy on, easy off. This will be my winter shoe this year.

In the running to be my favorite - The second I put them on I knew they would be great. The inside molds to your foot so well, you dont't feel the need for the usual "breaking in" time. I like the fact that the footbed is wider than usual in the toe area, because this allows for better stability. I can't wait to try them out on the trails.

Great Shoe - I feel this shoe runs short. Width is great, maybe a little too wide. I normally wear a 9-9.5 and the 10 was too short for me. Feels very comfortable and can't wait to get the new size though. Zappos is great for returns and very understanding. I have since ordered an 11 and am hoping this will do it.

Keen on these! As someone in a retail shop said, the toe area is a little snug. I can't remember the last time I deviated from my true size 10, but I might have found these a bit more comfy in a half size larger. Everywhere else, they fit like a glove. Took them through a rough and rocky hike along the Columbia Gorge in Oregon - and they were splendid on the terrain. If you want to buy, I would say - Go for it! I'm taking them to St. Lucia on my honeymoon. ;-)

Keen Cortina - I always wear a size 8 shoe and have a size 8 Keen clog but in these shoes, I HAD to order a whole size larger. The 8 1/2 was even too small but the 9 fit. These shoes run a whole size too small.

Longtime Keen Fan - I have a job that requires me to stand for at least eight hours a day. Keen shoes have been my feet's salvation. They are so amazingly comfortable that I would still wear them even if they didn't look as great as I think they do. I love them more now that they are available in colors like paprika.

I love the shoe. I had ordered it in a 9 from another retailer, but that was too small. They didn't have a 9 1/2, but I found a pair at Zappos. Its a great hiking shoe. I have an old pair of good hiking boots, but they are too bulky and heavy to pack for a trip. The arch support is not enough for me, but I have inserts that I put in all my exercise shoes anyway, so not a problem for me.

Seems like a great shoe. However, I am a solid size 6 and ordered a 6.5. This shoe felt like a 5 on my foot. I will need at least a 7. I recommend ordering at least 1 full size up. The heel feels strange and loose. Super lightweight yet tough. I love Keen and Zappos.

Keen Cortina - This shoe is very cute. I got the red color and love it; however the heel on the left shoe is stiff and makes blisters. I am hoping that it breaks in soon since I love all my other Keens. I am sold on the brand. They are wide enough for my feet and have a great arch support.

Great shoe - I usually wear a 6.5 or 7, and I had to go up to 7.5 on this one. They are really comfortable and held up well after a long day of walking around. I bought the red ones - great color!

Nice Shoe, but too undersized - This is a nice combination of fashion and practicality, but the sizes run small, so I am returning them to try another size. Also, shoe is a little low in the back, potentially causing some blistering

Best shoes I ever bought!! While on a recent vacation, I purchased these shoes...what comfort!! I can actually feel my toes, and I did not have blisters even after walking around all day the first day that I wore them. I would buy 2 or 3 pairs of these shoes. Feels like they will last a long time, and that they are of good quality.

Great, but not quite as comfortable as the sandals - I ordered a size larger as everyone suggested, but it slips a little on me. Not too big a deal because I intend to wear them with heavier socks, but a little surprising. They are comfortable, but not quite as comfortable as the sandals I bought this summer. They do make my size 10 feet look not so big though.

About the heel width - I read all the reviews before I purchased this shoe, and went up a 1/2 size. It felt great when I put in on at home and walked around on the carpet, so I laced them up and set off to work the next morning. My walk to work is one mile, and by the time I got there, I was limping from the shoe rubbing my heel. I had a huge blister, moved in to mole skin, then to heel pads, and even after the blister healed, the little pull tab is rubbing higher up on my heel. Also, once I started wearing them, especially walking up and down hills, I realized that I should have gone up a whole size larger, as my toes are hitting the end of the toe box when I go downhill. Now I have a pair of great looking shoes that will probably end up at the consignment shop. Having said that, I will consider trying again, taking into account the sizing needs, and starting off with heel inserts from the beginning.

I have 5 pairs of old model Keens that I LOVE and _all_ the newer model Keens that I have tried (at least 5 different styles)- including these- are far inferior to their predecessors. I have a slightly wider-than-average foot, but nothing extraordinary and I find that I can not wear a Keen style that has come out in the last year or so. It is HEARTBREAKING! Who are they listening to? What market forces are driving their designs? This shoe is absolutely 1 size smaller than marked- I usually wear a Keen (in regular) size 8 but ordered an 8.5 that smashed my toes- and it has so much leather and stuff in the tongue area of the shoe that it doesn't close any tighter than how it comes laced up. My feet look like big red criss-crossed buns. :( I don't even know what the point of ordering larger would be... so my feet could look like criss-crossed loaves?
