Customer Reviews KEEN Ochoco

Keen's Ochoco - This is my second pair of Keen's and I'll probably buy more. Like all Keen's they run small, a whole size even. I've been using this shoe to run/walk long distances (10+ miles) and they remain comfy the entire time without hotspots. To me that's amazing! The support is exactly what I need.

Mango, the new black - I am an avid Keen wearer, I have them in most models and when I saw that they were making a running shoe I knew I had to have them. I am a runner who has forefoot trouble and a supinator. These shoes have great stability and the asymmetrical tying has solved my problem. A great running shoe and a Keen!! What more can you ask for especially in the great Mango color!

Keen - Ochoco - I have soooo many pairs of Keens and I put off buying this for several months. I finally gave in and I love this shoe. I wear it for just hanging around and found it to be very supportive and sturdy. I would recommend it to any one looking for a Keen fit with great support.

Great support - These shoes offer a very snug fit with great support. I have very uneven ground where we live and these shoes help with balance between dirt, rocks and gravel. Zappos has great service! I got my husband a pair and he really liked the fit.

Keen Ochoco - This is an excellent shoe. In fact, it is the most comfortable sneaker I've ever worn. So far, I haven't used it on any trails, but I have used it on long city walks and short jogs. Very comfortable and supportive. Some reviews that I read on Zappos said this shoe feels a half size smaller than marked. I typically wear a size 8, and I ordered both an 8.5 and an 8. The 8.5 was too large, and the 8 fit just right.

Sweet ; ) OK I am somewhat bias as I have KEEN shoes for every occasion. 3 sandal types, 3 Mary Jane types (I consider formal wear) and now a running shoe. An ultra distance runner both road and trail for the past 30 years I am impressed with this shoe. Brand new out of the box I enjoyed its comfort and performance from the Valley floor of Yosemite to the top of Half Dome and back (with a 3 mile unplanned detour) so roughly 20 miles (4,737 v. feet) of dirt and granite. The grip was excellent on the somewhat greasy granite.

Looks and fit - The shoe felt true to size and width. Ochoco has superb comfort and a feminine yet rugged style.

Good Trail Running Shoe. I have been pleased with Keen sandals, so I was interested to find they were doing running shoes. I run exclusively on trails and soft surfaces and this shoe is a good match. Very sturdy, cleans up easily, super no-slip soles that (and this is a plus) don't pick up gravel-sized rocks in the tread like so many others do. The offset side lace is very distinctive, cool looking and fun. Toe bumper is nice. I bought a women's ten, which is the same size I wear in other running shoes. I like the fabric, it's a wider mesh covered with a thin tighter mesh fabric, good ventilation without getting sand and grit in the shoe like pure open mesh shoes. Not much arch support in the native shoe, but I always replace running shoe insoles with Super Feet inserts, so it that's not an issue for me. Pavement runners may want more cushion, but I really like the feel on trails. Love the orange, but also got grey for those days when a trifle more subtlety seems appropriate. Pricey, but they appear to wear better than other running shoes.

Great all around shoe - Bought for the comfort at work requiring me to stand most of the time.

Love Those Keens! I had to reorder a half size larger than I usually wear. They were comfortable for a long walk the first time I put them on. I have enjoyed my other Keens, and these are going to be great. I couldn't ask for better service than from Zappos. I tell all my friends about them.

Great shoes - These are great shoes for running and walking. You can not pronate in these shoes. I wear a size 9 in Nikes and ordered a 9 in these and they are perfect. Very, very comfortable and great design.

Love the look! My feet are never happy in any shoes except Keen Cortina Mid, and I just bought a second pair of Ochocas. The Mango color is awesome, collected many compliments, but the folks at work were less than happy with the color - boring people. The look, overall comfort, semi-squooshy heels and offset laces all work so well together; I (obviously) would buy these shoes again.

Orange Ochoco - I love these shoes. I no longer have a problem with the top of my foot hurting from the laces being snug. I am an old woman and I love the bright color... too many running shoes are drab!

A Wonderful Fit! The originality of the shoe -- the style, from color scheme to trademark toe; the comfort, from the off-center lacing to the cushioned foot bed --is what Keen has spoiled us to expect. "Fits like a stylish glove" may be a cliché, but it is so true of this shoe that is anything but a cliché.

Great Shoe - I bought this shoe to add to my ever expanding collection of Keens and I have been wearing every day on the Elliptical Trainer. I will buy them again.

Keen scores again! I have flat arches and over pronate as a result. I purchased the Ochoco because of the motion control midsole. I really like the athletic style and it's very comfortable. It's not as wide as other Keen styles but still fits well. The Mango color is the BEST!!! Order a half size up.

Ochoco Trail Shoe Satisfation - I've been running over eight years and tried many brands and styles of running shoes. This particular shoe offers excellent stability and comfort while running on crushed limestone or asphalt. The unique side lacing does not interfer with fore-foot flexibilty and affords no slippage in the heal for a women's narrower heel. There is also built in extra ankle support with this lacing design. I love em!

Keen's Ochoco - This is really a comfortable, light weight shoe with a fun color and shape. I thoought it ran a little small though and had to return it for a half size bigger.

Different look- These needed a little breaking in. Overall very comfy, but the gray material around the toe area is a little stiff, and rubs a bit, especially on the left foot. It is getting better as I wear them, so hopefully it will be fine. Definitely order up a size. I ordered a 10, as I normally do with Keens (regular size is 9.5), and they just fit. I don't wear my thickest socks with these. I did get positive comments on the look and a few "those are interesting shoes"...

Great sneaker! If your want an AMAZING sneaker that is wide and comfy, pretty light weight and looks cool these are them. They are amazingly comfortable. I have the orange and they are such a great color everyone notices my shoes. The crossover laces are finally an amazing solution to the problem of the laces not hanging straight. My only complaint is that after spending over $100 on a pair of sneakers I didn’t expect the nylon fabric to tear where it meets the rubber sole after only 2 months of wear. But other than that they are great.

Sturdy style - I like this shoe. It is a bit stiff compared to prior running shoes, but is described as a trail shoe. So far I have just worn it on bike paths, but feel it will be great on rougher terrain. I have wide feet and this is my 5th pair of Keens. They are the best!

Peachy Keen - If it were up to me, I'd given this shoe a 5 star rating, but my second toe on left foot has a complaint ... so I'm letting her give her input ... seems she's a little sore from yesterday's workout on the treadmill, even though she scolded ME that I should've bought half a size bigger! So, for all you long toed gals out there, go up half a size. Otherwise, the conditioning and padding is typically Keen!

Rethink this as a running shoe - I ordered these shoes a few months back and was excited to get Keen's latest but these just don't fit the trail running bill. They are not designed to offer the kind of support one needs for trail running and you feel every pebble (not to mention rocks) under your foot. If you want high-priced tool around shoes for comfortable everyday street wear, these are fine; however, if you are a serious trail runner or hiker, you get much more for your money with the New Balance trail running shoes which are designed for real trail running use. Perhaps Keen has improved this with their new waterproof version of this shoe but I'd ask before buying them if you are a runner.

This shoe was very disappointing. I previously had Nike side lace shoes and they were my all time favorite. The Ochoco just did not fit properly.
