Customer Reviews KEEN Austin

Ready to wear right out of the box!

At first, i thought that i would have to return these because the tongue of the shoe was too long. It was jabbing me at the ankle. But not wanting to give up, i removed the laces one eyelet away from the top, pressed the top of the tongue back, and voila!, these shoes are PERFECT! My feet are very happy. Lots of room in the toe box. I can walk forever in them and not have sore feet.

Always reliable, plenty of room in the toe box. Happens to look great too!

Shoe feels fine, except half size too short. Am returning for size 10.5. Please return ASAP Thanks Eric Lalicker

I have extremely wide feet and went through a few different shoes and finally found the Keen Austin. Great for all you guys with those wide feet. They are a little bulky for my taste, but that is easily overlooked for the comfort and support. Excellent shoe and will purchase another pair once these are worn out.

Nice looking shoe, robust. Good arch support. Good for wider feet, nice wide toe box. My husband is recovering from plantar facitis and these are the only shoes he will wear. We always have two pairs on hand.

Sorry, the Gargoyle style was charcoal gray.

Comfortable shoe, ordered the Austin model expecting a brown shoe and received a charcoal gray shoe. Thought I was sent the incorrect model so I exchanged it for another Austin and got the same design. Charcoal gray with light gray border around the bottom, stylish green thread on sides and black sole. I ended up keeping because they were comfortable.

I am coming back a year after purchasing these shoes to review them because they are still in incredible shape. They are not only more durable than any pair of shoes I have ever owned, but they are also more comfortable. The style is a bit 'unique' - you won't win any fashion awards for wearing these around town. But you will be very comfortable.

Very comfortable shoe. Nice wide toe box and quite durable.

After an injury, these are the only shoes my husband will wear.

Great shoes. I love Keens, I've bought this pair of shoes twice now. I like the darker color grey better.

great shoe, good support and quality

These are great shoes. I have had many pairs. Zappos did an amazing job here. Had a problem with the first pair and the second pair was at my house the next day. I would recommend these to anyone for work or for pleasure.

Comfortable walking/hiking shoes.

I just bought my second pair of Keen Austin shoes. They are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn.

This is my third pair of these shoes. I absolutely love them. Most comfortable shoes for folks with big toes.extra wide up front. You will not regret buying these shoes.

I bought my first pair of Keen shoes a few years ago at REI. They were wonderful from the start. As they wore out I worried about a replacement pair. Couldn't find these at REI so tried Zappos. Took a while to identify but did and immediately ordered. Next day delivery and I discovered the same great fit and wear as my first pair. Well done.

Great shoes! Very comfortable, well made and sturdy. I had purchased the same pair a couple of years ago but wound up returning them because they squeaked terribly when I walked. These are much better, no squeaking and you can see the materials used to make these shoes is of high quality. I also had these same shoes in brown a few years ago and they really hold up and will last for years without showing a lot of wear.

This is my husband's second pair of Austins. He has the brown and wanted a black shoe equally as comfortable, so it was great to find they come in black. Comfortable right out of the box. He'll be wearing these daily on an upcoming trip to France and he expects them to be as excellent as his first pair. Durable, comfortable, easy on joints after long days of active travel. Perfect service from Zappo's. Every retailer should strive to achieve this level of service.

Great shoes. Comfortable, great support. My 2nd pair of Keens. I love them!

Both my son and my husband have these shoes and they love them. Keens are a staple for my husband.

Buying shoes for my husband is always a nail biting experience: I could write a horror movie about it. But though I ordered these with trepidation, it turned out to be one of those shining beautiful moments when it all worked. Keen Austin is unusually roomy through the toe box (a plus), and the lacing structure enables him to accommodate a very high arch while still giving him the support he needs. The low profile sole (no heavy lugs) works well for him, as does the wide heel stabilization. I ordered two additional shoes, the brown leather was equal to the black shoe, but the Gargoyle color for some reason didn't make his feet happy. Two out of three? Hurrah!

I ordered these shoes about 2 weeks ago and have been wearing them since. They are very comfortable and have plenty of width for my feet. My toes have room to stretch out, it's like Kramer's luxury lanes for my feet. So far I'm very happy with these shoes. I'd recommend them to others.

This is my sixth pair of Keens. These are the first all leather Keen shoes that I have purchased. I have only worn them one time so far and I can say the fit is just as I have come to expect and like from Keen. These are very comfortable shoes and despite them being all leather I can tell they will not require a long break-in period, on first wearing as they are comfortable. In the other Keens that I have worn I have had to use arch inlays because I have very flat feet and the Keens prior have not provided enough support. I am going to try these without for a while because it seems there may be a bit more arch support in this pair. Time will tell. Obviously this lack of support has not discouraged me enough to not buy more Keens. I really like their shoes.
