Customer Reviews KEEN Austin

My 28 year old son has a hard time finding size 17 shoes that are cool enough and comfortable. He loves this pair!

My husband loves these, and he's 72 with changing/picky feet. He says this year's model is more comfy than 2 years ago. They're actually wide enough for his usual 4E width! The contoured footbed is what makes the difference.

My husband loves this shoe, and he's very picky about fit and comfort. He has a wide foot, usually 4E, but these Keens are plenty wide! The footbed feels good and supportive, and has that contour shape. They aren't cushy shoes but his feet are comfy for a long time.

My 3rd pair of Keen's. Great shoe, takes a beating at work and last's. Comfortable all day.

I know the product and I will be happy with it for years.

Excellent shoes, very comfortable and wear well. Good arch support.

Ordered 2 pairs, one brown and a black pair. This is the 4th pair of this style of Keens I have ordered for my husband. They wear well. He wears them for garden work, moving rocks and as dress shoes with jeans. Definitely multipurpose shoes. He has a wide foot and the Keens fit well.

Third pair. Love the fit and finish. Wear then to hike Costco and Home Depot. Veey comfortable in all situations.

Got these for my husband, who's been wearing mediocre shoes most of his life. Him: "I can't believe how nice these are!" Got them after getting some Keen hiking shoes for myself, as those have been wonderful also.

These are my third and fourth pairs so obviously I like them. Perfect fit and comfortable for all day walks. They are casual shoes however in black they are pretty stylish.

I have worn Keens exclusively for over the past 10 years. The wide toe bed and durability are awesome. It is also a big deal to me that they are assembled in the good ol’ USA!

Great casual shoe style, a step of from the Keen hiking shoes that I love. Very comfortable for everyday use. Gray strip looks great. Gargoyle color is kind of light brown with a hint of green.

Bought these for my husband and had to purchase another after he wore through his first pair. Very comfortable and nice looking shoes. Held up to a lot of abuse and still looked great and they did last a long time. Worth every penny! Love these keens!!!

I love these shoes, they fit true to size and width.

It's great! I keep buying new ones when my old ones wear out.

They are comfortable and last a good amount of time. This is my second pair that I have bought. Love them!

I have two pairs of Austin’s. One pair is at least five years old and the second pair a few months old. I recently took a suede/nubuck brush and rejuvenated the unbuckle, which had turn shiny. They look so much better and still wear well, too! The only worn spot is on the inside back of one shoe, where my Achilles’ tendon would touch the shoe. It’s worn as I tend to not untie my shoes and just slide my foot in. I have terribly flat feet and have had surgery on both feet at one time or another, so I know good support is critical! I love these because they easily accommodate my rather wide orthotics very easily and at very comfortable with a wide toebox. These support me well and fit like a glove from trying them in the store. When you try on a pair of shoes and they feel right at the moment, you buy them, because that’s not always the case. If my feet pronate with my orthotics in place, I know the shoes are not made very well, at least for me. I’ve had many pairs of shoes over the years and these are among the best, even compared to Mephistos!

Great shoes! I sometimes have trouble finding comfortable shoes. These were great in my usual trouble spots. If I didn't think my feet might change, I would buy another pair.

I really like the look and feel of these, although they take a few wears to break in. I also tend to use different insoles which make them more comfortable. This is the second pair I've bought this year, in a different style so that I can wear them for work. The soles are thick and rugged enough for uneven terrain, but the style is nice enough for business casual.

I work full time for a huge retailer and we have to wear black lace up shoes, no sneakers. I am on my feet 9-10 hours a day, 5-6 days a week, not just walking but climbing ladders, lifting etc. I am a larger female, close to 60 yrs old, diabetic, arch and heel pain, and my ankle turns out. These shoes have saved my career! I have medium women's width feet, but these in a men's Medium width I can remove the insole and replace it with proper arch support or custom orthotics, heel cups and a wedge for my ankle. I am also able to march in parades, hike for an hour, stand in one place for 5+hours at a time, and just in general live life - and work - to the fullest. I've met 3 different ups drivers with the same shoes. I would highly recommend to anyone spending lots of time on their feet! Today I'm purchasing my 3rd pair.

I have very hard to fit feet (13 wide with wide toes). These are the shoes that have fit my feet for the past 5 years. I have worn out my first pair and recently bought two more. I hope that Keen doesn't discontinue this design. So far I have not found a pair of hiking boots that fit as well as these, even from Keen.

These shoes are just what I was hoping for. I stand most of the day for work and these are very comfy.

I have been buying womens Keen for many years. Recently, I have found that the several styles that were so comfortable right from the start (Presidio is one) do not fit any longer - the leather is so stiff now that the shoe doesn't bend or the heel is so wide that my heel practically slips all of the way out. I thought I would try Keen mens shoes. The Austin leather is similar to what the womens Presidio was - good quality. The arch support is excellent and the heel fits must better. Keens men shoes for women is the way to go!

This is my third pair of the shoe. I’ve owned all of the different color variations over the years and they make excellent shoes for traveling. I wound up wearing out the last pair traveling around the US and purchased this pair for an upcoming trip to Europe. They are stylish enough to where you only need to bring one pair of shoes with you on a trip.

comfortable and durable
