Customer Reviews KEEN Portsmouth

Finally a shoe that fits! Anyone out there like me who has a very wide forefoot, tall big toe, and narrow heel check out these shoes! These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. They may not say "wide" on the sizing chart but the shape of the shoe from the arch forward is perfect for me. Plus the look great and are waterproof. I may have to buy a few pairs in case they are ever discontinued.

Purchased these as a gift for my husband and he loves them! He especially likes the roomier toe box and the tread on the sole so they are great for walking on slippery outdoor surfaces. My husband provided the ratings since obviously, he wears them.

Very comfortable. Worn several times a week for a year or so now and the original laces didn't last long, and the soles have worn much more quickly than I would like. The shoes are very durable, though, and respond well to soap and water cleaning! Roomy: I found them closer to my true size than the usual Chinese product, which can often run a bit tight.

Excellent shoe, great for wet weather and yard/garden work. Weak point is the special laces - Keen has replacements but they tell me the greenish BISON color is not stocked - only the brown/black is stocked.

These shoes are comfortable right out of the box. Of course, over time the shoes will conform to the shape of your feet and feel even more comfortable. The toe box is roomy, which I like. The shoes are sturdy -- no problems with anything falling apart. I had my first pair for several years, although I didn't wear them every day. I am wearing my current pair on a daily basis, and I love them. For a casual pair of shoes, you can't go wrong with the Keen Portsmouth.

This is my 3rd pair of Keen Portsmouth shoes and my wife is getting tired of seeing them on my feet. I can't help it, they look and feel great and most importantly the size and fit is rock solid consistent.

This shoes are stylish and super comfy! Good for work, good for play. The brown is a little bit tricky to find a matching belt though.

Classic Keen comfort. Nice raised toe bed, very durable. My one mild complaint would be that the laces are leather and they loosen unlike traditional laces.

I bought a pair of Portsmouths in Fall 2008. At that time, the shoe was made with no lining at all (although I note that it is currently described as having a leather and synthetic liner) so they have always worn loosely and roughly. I would never wear them for an occasion when I had to walk far. Sometimes I put on an extra pair of thin socks (like hiking liners) to help compensate. Wish I had returned them. I own several other styles of Keens; these are the only ones I\'m lukewarm about.

As the Whistler is no longer made I went with the Portsmouth. Not a slip on but close. Just what I would expect from Keen. I ordered the same size as my old whistlers and these feel a bit bigger. They feel like I have had them for years. And as always, thanks Zappos for fast shipping and great customer service.

5th pair of Keen's I have owned. These I bought for bartending. They are the only brand of shoes I have ever owned that I can stand on my feet for 8 hours & my feet feel just fine. Worth every penny!

This is my second pair of these, I wear them every day. They are very comfortable, and wear well, as do all Keens. I would recommend them.

My son has worn these for the first time today, all day, and has not had one complaint. Lots of walking, shopping, playing with the dogs (this is rare).

My husband said "These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever had!" I have several pairs of Keens and wanted to turn him on to how wonderful they feel on your feet. I purchased his first pair last year. He is 60 something and is on his feet farming or working at a plant nursery. Needless to say, when his birthday rolled around last month, I purchased another pair! He was thrilled!

Always wanted to try a pair of Keen shoes. I discovered in testing them at retail stores that my normal size 13 felt small, so I ordered the 14 and it is OK. Generally, these are comfortable - a little stiff, but they fit and support well. I still like my Clark Muckers better.

Have other Keen shoes and all are superior to anything else that I wear! As far as service is concerned, Zappos exceeds everyone else. Thanks!

Very comfortable, but very poor sole - wore out quickly and separated even quicker. Sent back to Keen who made it clear they didn't care. Temporary repair with Shoe Goo actually worked surprisingly well, especially since Keen said absolutely no way to repair. My first and last Keens!

I own a pool service company in Florida and finding a good work shoe with good support as been a real challenge. I have been wearing these Keen's now for three years and have to tell you they are the best shoe/work boot around. I use a little mink oil to keep them waterproof and from drying out. They are the best. I use them when we go to Costa Rica and are hiking around. If anyone is looking for a lightweight, waterproof, comfortable shoe with very good support, this is the one.

I have some difficulties with my feet and can find few comfortable shoes, but the Keen shoes seem to be made for me. The wide front is shaped like my feet. I had a similar pair to these Portsmouths that apparently has been discontinued, so I took a risk buying these just before a trip to Spain. Without any break-in I wore these through two and a half weeks of some serious sightseeing and had no problems. I do believe that they are the best fit for my feet I have ever found.

Previously the most enjoyable shoes I have every had were a pair of Keen Sandals. When needing something more formal to wear to work I thought I would stick with Keen. These shoes are very comfortable and well made. They look a little left of center but maybe I am too. I am 46 years old and wear them to work and dinner three times a week and when not in these I am in my Keen sandals.

My husband is a chef and bought these to work in the kitchen. He says they are really comfortable shoes but in a kitchen environment are still considerably slippery.

Keens are the best! I now have 4 different styles in my closet. Wear one of them everyday. The fit is great and they are the most comfortable shoes and sandals out there. Got them all from Zappos with no problems and best of all Great customer service. Thanks Zappos and thanks Keen!

True to size unlike most Keen products. A little wide at first but I soon got used to the fit. Very comfortable right out of the box. If you like Keen shoes you are sure to like this one.

I just received my "One year ago, you ordered the following product from Zappos.com" notice. I love this shoe and when it completely falls apart I intend to order another pair. This shoe turned me into a lifelong Keen fan and since that initial purchase; I've bought four other Keen shoe styles from Zappos. Based on my experience, Keen runs a 1/2 size smaller than my foot size. The one and only gripe about these shoes is the rubber toe to leather body seal...it failed within the first week of use. I should have returned the shoes for a replacement, but they were so comfortable I didn't want to be without them. I chose to repair the seal myself with barge cement. Others have posted the same seal failure complaint and I've seen the same issue on my friend's Portsmouth's (which he's owned for 5 years). It only happened on one of my shoes and didn't prevent me from wearing them every working day this past year (+/- 250 days in the construction industry). I did recently replace the insoles with Birkenstock's Birko-sport arch support which has probably added another year's worth of life to these shoes (the soles are are still in excellent condition despite daily abuse). This hybrid shoe (anyone reading this should really give the Birkenstock insert a try...) is the most comfortable pair of shoes I own and I look forward to putting them on every morning I go to work. Hope this review is helpful. Cheers!

I bought the Keen Portsmouth's because I am rough on the toes of my shoes, and I liked the look. Has sort of a euro-clog shape which I thought was unique. One never can tell exactly what the quality of construction is on shoes until you get them, but these are clearly put together nicely and will likely last a good long time. All in all a stylish, durable looking pair of shoes to kick around in. Looks great with jeans or a nice pair of khaki shorts (even with my legs, which look like they belong on a table or a chicken). Anyway, can't go wrong with these. Go Zappos!
