Customer Reviews KEEN Portola

Comfortable shoes - I bought these for my husband, and he loves them. These shoes are stylish but also really support your feet as well.

Awesome - Comfortable - Great Looking Shoe - I bought a pair of Keen Newport sandals last summer because they were the "in" thing at this summer camp I worked at up in the mountains of western North Carolina. They were so comfortable that I looked for a pair of Keen tennis shoes. I found this and I thought they looked really cool. I bought the black ones and I can wear them to the office with a pair of khakis. THEY ARE AWESOME! These are by far the best looking most comfortable street shoe that I have ever owned or tried. I now own 3 pairs of Keens (I also bought the Gunnison for hiking). The quality of these shoes are so good that they will never fall apart. They will probably last my whole lifetime.

Great shoes! I bought these shoes initially because I liked the look, and I already owned a pair of the Keen Newport sandals, so I knew those were comfortable. These shoes have been one of the most comfortable pairs of shoes I have ever owned. I even hiked Half Dome in them! They are one of the few pairs of shoes I can rely on to stay comfortable in all day, so they're great for traveling and hiking. The only minor complaint I have is that there isn't any padding on the heel, and I am prone to blisters there, so they rubbed my heels a lot at first, but once they were broken in, they were awesome! If you are prone to rubbing, you may want to try a similar style of Keen that has the padding on the back of the heel, but I prefer the look of this shoe.

I want more Keens! This is my second pair of Keens, and money is the only thing holding me back from having more right away! These shoes are the most comfortable and supportive I've ever worn. I think they even improve my posture and put a little spring in my step.

Excellent shoe - These are very comfortable for wide feet and high arches. No blisters, no rubbing, no break-in. Great!

Fab Shoe - Super cute shoe. I was in the market for a comfy, cute jeans shoe and I found it! I have a list going of other Keens I want. And Zappos has the best selection around. With free over night shipping on some orders, its way easier than going to the mall.

Surprisingly comfortable - I swore I would never buy a pair of Keens because they looked so odd! But after trying on a pair of Keen Portolas I was convinced. This is a great urban shoe that I can even get away with at the office (I got the black ones). The molded footbed is so comfortable! Other reviews have warned to go a half size larger - but I ended up a half size smaller! I have borderline wide feet and sometimes I do have to order a half size larger to accommodate this. But not with Keens! The toe box is nice and roomy - I think these shoes were made for my feet! I did need a few days to break them in, as they slightly rubbed on the top of my foot where the shoe bends while walking. But now I am good to go - and I live in these shoes. Keen has earned a new fan!

Cute and comfy! This is my 4th pair of Keens - I really like the olive/orange color. I'm happy to have something hipper to wear than boring brown or black, but is also comfortable for high arched feet. Awesome shoes. And Zappos rocks out loud.

Keen Portola - Love, love, love my Keens. I now have 4 pair of Portolas, as I wear them nearly every day. Buy 1/2 size larger than you normally wear. Feet are well supported and are comfortable all day long. They're cute for casual dress - I'm lucky - I can wear them to work!

Keen Portola - I think I am in love. After reading several reviews on keens and trying to decide which color to get, I finally took the plunge. This is my first pair of keens. I normally wear Danskos. I was looking for support in a sportier tie shoe, and the Portola fits the bill. They fit great, was not concerned about ordering up because Danskos run small also. I wear 41 or 42 depending on the style. Keen 42 is a bit roomy, but can be tightened with laces. These shoes are worth every penny. I was on my feet all day and no back pain or break in time. As always Zappos is the first place I look for new footwear. They have largest selection, great price, and of course the free, lightning fast shipping. Thank you Zappos.

Brings happiness all around! These are fantastic little shoes -- and "little" is the key word! They make my feet look tiny, and, ok, they do look a little like clown shoes, but I love that about them. So, so comfortable, and no real break-in period except for the top of the heel -- the little orange ribbon along the top was a bit snug at first, but after a couple of wearings it was fine. You can't slip these off without loosening the shoe strings, but I bet that means they'll stay true to size longer. It's an excellent buy.

The best shoe ever made. I own five pairs of these shoes, all in different colors. I LOVE Keen shoes they make my feet happy. I have back and hip trouble and some shoes worsen those symptoms when I walk a lot. A brand new pair of Keen shoes out of the box feel like someone already broke them in for me.

Great shoe - As usual, I love my Keens. These are super cute and very comfortable. Lots of toe box room but still snug enough to support. The too-roomy heel is, yes, too roomy, but it doesn't slip up and down, there's just lots of room. And the shoe still feels great when walking, not like it's slipping in the heel. And the look is really cool: lots cuter than a walking/running shoe, and the colors are fantastic. I have the blue with orange laces, and the orange with blue laces. Love 'em.

Another great pair of Keens! This is one of the cutest shoes ever. It is a great "shoe" with a sneaker look and feel. I originally purchased a pair a half size bigger after reading other reviews and found that they were too big, so I had to exchange them for my normal Keen size. The toe bed is plenty roomy and the contoured insole is super comfy. As always, Keen and Zappos are the BEST!

Great for town and country - I love these shoes! They are the most comfortable pair of shoes I've ever put on my very high maintenance feet, plus they look good enough to wear with casual pants without looking like a dork with no fashion sense in sneakers. They do run short, though, so order a half size up.

The most comfortable of all my many Keens. The olive green is terrific (as is the navy I bought previously). I get my usual size in this shoe and it is perfect. Zappos is great-- selection, ease, service.

Comfy fun! I purchased the sienna/aquamarine color and it's fun and fab! Very roomy toebox, which is perfect for me. True to size, comfortable right out of the box, fantastic arch support. Wore them to work on a casual Friday and got many compliments. I plan to hike in them this summer; they seem very well made and in Keen tradition, no break-in period, no blisters. This is my third pair of Keens!!

Another great Keen Shoe - Love these shoes. Very comfortable right from the start! Highly recommend Keen shoes to anyone looking for the best comfort around.

One Comfy Shoe - Excellent shoe for comfort and walking. Recently traveled to Japan, where a lot of walking is required and my feet never felt tired. Also their stylish enough to wear from morning into evening.

Felt too short so had to order up 1/2 size - I have other Keen shoes (Sausalito, Presidio and Montreal clogs) and size 9 has always fit me perfectly. But these in size 9 were too short so I had to get 9 1/2's. These feel a little wide in the toe bed but at least my toes aren't hitting the rubber end part. I wear thick socks with them and they feel fine. Very comfy, nicely padded, but not as comfortable and cushy as the Presidio's.

Cute and comfortable - This shoe is incredibly comfortable and very cute (a real plus for me), but I will concede that I bought my normal size and the shoe is slightly on the snug side. As a result the heel was rubbing quite a bit, but some $4 heel inserts solved this problem and now I wear these everywhere. I love them.

Portola review - I enjoy wearing my shoe. I wear them to work and on weekends during my relaxation time. I will continue to purchase this quality shoe because of the excellent customer service I receive and the quality of your products.

My third pair of Keens. Love them. Love the bright colors. Love the comfort. I'm on my feet all day at work, and these really work for me. Would love another pair in another color.

Beautiful! I bought these, as my first pair of Keens, after trying on a keen brand sandal of my friends, and I remembered how comfy they were. These shoes are great. Walking through a muddy field, all the mud stopped right before touching the actual leather. Serious planning must have gone into those lugs. However, the heel rubbed my ankle raw, until I bought those heel inserts. Bad news is, with the insert, my toes are a bit cramped now (after buying a half size larger as suggested). So, I suggest a full size larger, and get some heel pad things. They still look great. Oh, and sweaty feet? Yes, I don't normally have sweaty feet, but with these shoes.. I don't know, something about them make my feet cold and sweaty. Hmm... still very cute, I will buy keens forever and ever.
