I ordered these for my husband because I thought they had a nice look, not a dress shoe but not an athletic shoe. He really loves them. They are really comfortable. We ordered his usual size and they fit well. The brindle color is nice too, it will go with either black or brown. Hightly recommend!

These shoes are really comfortable, in fact I am wearing them right now. It took a couple boxes to find the right size and I ended up with an 11 when I usually wear an 11.5. Zappos was awesome about that however and played ever so nicely with me. Thank you!

I bought these for my husband for Christmas and he loves them! I was looking for a shoe (not a sneaker) that he could wear with jeans or casual khaki's. These fit the bill and he says they are very comfortable.

I've owned multiple pairs of Keen shoes and they've all been great. This shoe is no different. Very comfortable out of the box and fits pretty true to size. I bought these to replace a similar pair that were slip on that I basically wore through over 4yrs. I don't have arch issues, so the support seemed fine for me.

These shoes are great. They fit true to size. They were comfortable right out of the box. They look great with jeans or chinos. I wear them for work and I am on my feet most of the day. They are so good in fact, I am thinking about buy another pair and storing them away until the pair I have now wear out.

Good fit and feel as expected from Keen. I've owned many pairs of Keen but was VERY disappointed that the rubber heel covering came unglued after only 6 months. I wouldn't recommend this style as it doesn't hold up well for the long haul.

This pair is a replacement for an older pair that I considered the most comfortable shoes I have ever had. This new pair does not compare. They are uncomfortable even after a couple of weeks trying to break them. It seems as if the leather on the new pair is very stiff which contributes to making them uncomfortable.

This is the second pair of Portsmouths I have purchased. The first pair became my everyday shoes. The laces don't hold up well, but good replacements are only a couple of bucks. Even though I have always liked changing shoe styles fairly regularly, I'm thinking of buying another pair to put away for when I need to replace this pair; just in case they discontinue the style. These are supremely comfortable shoes. Be aware, the suede-like finish will eventually become smooth and darker. They still look nice, however.

Super comfy with a big toe box. I have had several pairs of keens and these seem like they will have the same quality that will lead to a long happy relationship between me and my new kicks.

These are one of, if not the most comfortable pair of shoes I have ever owned. They fit great, as my feet are a little wide, the slight extra width of the toe box makes for a good fit. Look good too.

I love these shoes! My new ones are my second pair of this style. Because of the comfort of this shoe it encouraged me buy a pair Newport sandals for the summer. Keen shoes are so well made and durable that they have a lifetime fan! Greg

It's either my changin. Great!g feet or a changing size, but I had to go a half-size larger on these. They are the only shoe I have found among Keens, New Balance, or Merrell that has any style whatsoever

I am on my 3rd pair of these shoes...best shoes I have ever owned. I wear them every day and they have held up very well. They are a nice casual shoe that I can wear to work or with a pair of jeans and are very comfortable. My kids make fun of me, as I keep buying the same shoe. I am almost due for my next pair and have considered buying 2 or 3 pairs, in case they at some point no longer make them. I love the brand and my kids have been wearing them since they were infants. Great customer service if there is an issue with the shoe and they stand behind what they sell. And no I do not work for them.

I'm a Keen addict and these are working great. I will say that I have the Briggs (no long made sadly) in 10 and I needed 10.5 in these even though same sole. I do like these particularly for travel in mainly towns etc. One note, I had to find longer laces, these were way too short...but found some. All in all if you like Keens and the Keen fit...these are great.

I bought this shoe for my guy who has become a huge fan of Keen shoes. He was looking for a style to go with cotton dockers. They have good arch support, super good looking, well made, extremely comfortable, beautiful suede leather, the top stitching adds so much to the overall style and they have the protected toe which does not distract from the casual / dress style. Bottom line...he loves them and they look great on him as well! As always, Keen shoes are well worth the cost.

Bought these shoes for my husband and he loved them. All his keens are the same size and seem very true to his everyday shoe size. They looked great with jeans and slacks. He was very impressed with their comfort as he works long weekends on his feet. The only downfall is the suede type material was very difficult to weather proof. We figured it out, but still had issues with spots and such on the shoe. Unfortunately, after only a few wears the laces broke and the sole started to tear from the shoe. Of course with Keens warranty and the wonderful customer service at zappos I was able to return them. Great shoe.

This is my second pair of the Portsmouth. It is a great shoe with a nice wide toebox. As usual, Zappos handled everything perfectly.

Bought these for a trip to Moscow, in winter. Needed comfortable, waterproof, good looking walking shoes. These were great. Took hardly any break-in time, my wife likes the way they look on me and as always, I'm a huge Keen fan! Thanks Zappos!

I purchased these over a year ago and have loved the way they feel ever since I put them on. They take a little while to get broken in but once they are it's a very comfortable shoe. I use them for work because they are versatile and can look good with jeans or khakis. I have a job that requires walking around outdoors sometimes and sitting in an office cubicle and these seem to handle both while feeling good on your feet. I have waited this long to write a review because I wanted to see how the sole stood up to my use. I usually rub the bottom outside of my shoes off because of my walking style and am forced to replace shoes after a year of use but these show very little wear from my walking. They must have some good soles on them to last that long. I would recommend them to anyone needing a casual work shoe for mild weather.

I love these shoes. And for the record, I've waited about six weeks to write this review. A lot of times I'll read reviews where the purchaser has had their product in-hand for a day or two at most. In this case, I've walked around in them for a long time, and increasingly, I've stopped wearing my other shoes. They're just really comfortable and look great with both jeans and khakis. I initially gulped a little at the price, but I'd happily spend the money all over again. My two only concerns about the shoes are 1) (of course) they don't breathe at all since they're leather and 2) I had to return the first pair to get a half size smaller. I'm especially thankful that I made that exchange, since after wear, they've gotten a little more loose in the heel, and I almost could have gotten away with ordering a full size smaller. Still, these are small detractions. I'm glad for the purchase, and I received excellent customer service (twice!) from Zappos.

I like this shoe and have liked Keen for some time now, but I can say allow time for break in. It's a stiff shoe and perhaps because it is waterproof. I wear them to walk in for exercise, but I'd say it's best as a comfy casual.

I bought these shoes as a gift for my dad. He is pretty particular with the shoes that he wears. He absolutely loves them! Although they aren't the most fashionable shoes out there, he does like the way they look with jeans. No complaints!

Probably the most comfortable pair of walking shoes I've ever owned. Plenty of room in the toe-box and just super comfortable!

Excellent shoe choice for both my son and his dad. They wear these around town and walking the dogs in the snow, and they warm and have great tread. Typical wide fit that Keen provides is great, may be a little bit of a rub on the heel as it breaks in but I would highly recommend these.
