Customer Reviews KEEN Portola

I love this shoe! This is, by far, the most comfortable shoe I have ever had on my feet. I wore these brand new Keens to a full 10 hour day of work and was ready for another 10 hours. Even though they are not labeled as a wide size, the toe box is wide. If you have narrow or near-narrow feet, this is not the shoe for you. As an owner of grand-champion bunions, I highly recommend these. To top it off, they are awesome-funky.

Yummy Shoes! I have bad feet and bad toes, and am an artist who stands for long stretches. These shoes are just perfect. They have a wide and high toe box, they're good on the arches, they're comfy, and they look good!

Great shoes - I ordered the Portolas, and they are sooo comfortable. They feel great. I wear a 7 or 7.5 and ordered a 7, they fit perfect. I am going to order another pair soon!

Keen Love - I have never had a pair of Keens that I didn't like. I have suffered with low-back pain for years and Keens are the only shoes that give me the comfort and support to stand and walk for any length of time! They are generous in the width and toe area and have anti-microbial footbeds so the shoes NEVER smell!

Keen Portola Hiking Shoes - I really like these hiking shoes. I work in a factory and wear theses shoes. They are very comfortable and stylish. I will be buying another pair once I wear these shoes out.

Love these! I slipped them on immediately and wore them the rest of the day. They are very comfortable and plenty of room. I read all the reviews saying they felt small and to order up a 1/2 size. I ordered my usual size and they fit just fine. The stitching on the back of the heel is a bit rough. I had thick socks on so it was ok, but with thinner socks it might wear a bit. They're very light, and super comfortable.

These boots are amazing! They are uber wide but they feel like cozy slippers. The treads are awesome, I usually slip and fall on the ice but I haven't yet. My feet are never cold walking across campus all day long in below zero temperatures. The laces are really long but I just wrap the around the top of the boot. I have gotten lots of compliments on them.

I LOVE these shoes!! I ordered a half size up after reading some other reviews, and they are a little big, but still super comfy. And I love the looks of them. I've gotten a ton of comments on them. I definitely recommend these shoes for anyone looking for good lace-up shoes. Or anyone looking for new shoes period.

These are the best!!! I have wanted a pair of Keens for the past couple of years, but could never bring myself to spending that much money on one pair of shoes. I am a huge bargain shopper and very seldom will I spend more than $25.00 for a pair of any kind of shoes. However I had to have some Keens. I bit the bullet and bought two pair!!! I absolutely love them. I bought the Ventura and the Portola; the Portola is my favorite though. They are so light weight. The first time I tried them on and walked around my house I was a little worried that I did the wrong thing. They both fit so differently from each other and completely different from any other shoes I have had. After about 30 minutes (yes just 30, no break time at all) I absolutely loved them both. They are both true to size and I can wear them all day without my feet hurting at all. I will most definitely have more Keens in my future!!!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE - I love Zappos for the quick free shipping!!! First time trying out Keen shoes... I checked out all the other reviewers and agree with what most say... these shoes are so comfortable! They are cute and funky looking and have a nice thick tread! I normally don't spend the money on shoes, but these are worth the price!

Fabulous, stylish shoes for casual outfits. I just received these and adore them! They make my size 10.5 feet look much less bigger than they are. I love the fit. They are roomy in the toe box and look cute with jeans and cords. My only complaint would be that I wish that the edges around the heel were a bit softer. Maybe even wrapped with some padding. It isn't that big of a deal, but even perfect shoes should strive to be better.

Great Shoe - I ordered this shoe for a trip where I would be doing a lot of walking. When I received it I started wearing it immediately as to "break" it in. It was very comfortable from the start, and is so funky looking it is cute. I did order a size up and it fits perfectly. I also order wide shoes, but Keen fits fine. I am at the point in my life where comfort trumps style and these shoes are great. I work in a school and now wear them almost everyday.

Love them!! These are great. I use them for walking around town. I need a heel lift because one of my legs is shorter than the other-- because the sole is removable I can just slip it in. Very comfortable.

Love my Keens - This is a new style for me. It fits just like the Briggs, except no padding around the heel. I love the look and I can tell this is going to be a new favorite. I also have the H2 and the Napa. I am on my 3rd pair of Briggs which I use for my work which involves being on my feet 10 hours a day- so it has to be comfortable. In my opinion Keens are quite simply the most comfy shoe on the planet.

Great shoe! I'm crazy about Keens! My only complaint is that all their shoes run about a half size smaller than normal. [I'm also crazy about Zappos!]

Good-looking, comfortable shoe - This was my first closed-shoe Keen; I have worn their Newports and Venice H2s and find them versatile and comfortable. I am a teacher and so stand much of the day and I have a narrow heel and a wider toe box and need arch support--just FYI if you are worried about fit. I always order 1/2 size up, and the fit and support work best for me that way. The arch support is not as great as a Dansko, but it's a strong shoe. And, it's really cute--I ordered two different colors.

Cool tennis shoe - This is a very cool, urban tennis shoe. It looks great and is very comfortable.

Great Shoes - My first pair of keens. I am a nurse on my feet ALOT and these shoes are comfy. Plenty of toe room and are overall true to size. I also get a lot of compliments on the cute style.

The Keen Portola is a comfortable and well made shoe. The shoe provides excellent arch support and is great when walking long distances. When you live in NYC and walk constantly, comfortable shoes are extremely important.

Perfect cushy shoe for wide feet and orthotics - I've tried a lot of different shoes, and for my feet, these are a winner. I have: wide feet, high arches, plantar fasciitis, supination/under pronation, tailor's bunions, weak ankles. They have: good structure, room for orthotics, removable footbed, plenty of cushioning, a nice wide toe-box. I'm glad I took the advice I read here to buy a size up from my usual size. I'm also charmed by the so-ugly-it's-cute style of these shoes. It's nice to have running shoe comfort in a more trendy style. I will be back for more Keens!

Great hiking and walking shoe - I purchased these for a trip in which I did extensive walking over very uneven surfaces. These were extremely comfortable and the large toe box allowed my toes to move around. They are quite big and boxy on my feet as they look in the picture but definitely did their job. Great Shoe!

I love Keens - I have two pair of these and I love them. I wear Keen's every day. If you have a short, wide foot as I do you will love Keens. I now have 9 pairs of Keen's from snow boots to sandals including cycling shoes and I love them all.

I ADORE THESE SHOES - I absolutely LOVE these shoes. I have considered buying them for the last two years and finally took the plunge and ordered them. I LOVE THEM and wish I had bought them sooner. They're so comfortable and I've gotten loads of compliments on them. I seriously wear them almost every day. I did order them a half-size larger as was recommended and am glad I did. They fit perfectly.
