Customer Reviews KEEN Austin

Im 70 and the Austin shoe series are the only lace up shoes I can wear comfortably. I have owned 3 pair and wore them out, and have 2 newer pairs I now use. I also wear the sandals during summer.

I am a finicky shoe buyer. I do not like my feet to ache, even for fashion, and I have had a horrible time purchasing shoes that "will break in". These shoe fit from the minute you put them on until it is time to send them to the "away place". The first pair lasted many years and this pair went on a five mile walk straight out of the box. I also enjoy the look, not too tactical or too professor. Keen will always be my first choice in shoes.

These are really nice shoes, but they were too small. My toes rubbed against the end of the shoe. I liked the style and color, but had to return them. All the reviews say this runs small, but I wear 12 and think 13 would have been too large.

I really liked the style and color of this shoe, but it was too small. My toes rubbed against the end. The reviews said it runs small, but I wear 12 and think the 13 would have been too large. As other reviewers point out, it also has a stiff tongue that rubbed on my ankle as well as other stiff parts around the ankle in the back. I had to return them.

This was my fifth pair of Austins if you include two pairs of canvas style. They are simply the only shoes I can wear. Always comfortable, they virtually walk themselves. Please dont ever stop making them. Id need a wheelchair. Do you make any other styles with the same bed? Of course I would need wides to make up for the generous toe box on the Austins. And I must mention the veterans discount which allows this creaky old vet to get multiple pairs of my absolute favorite shoes. Hope I didnt get too mushy. Thanks.

The tongue has gotten longer. A little irritating until broken in.

This my third or fourth pair of Austin over the years. Each time I noticed a slight change that I don't like. Through the years, the sole got cheaper and they don't last as long as before. The first ones, I got through the shoes, the last pair, I got through the sole. But the worst is the insole. At the beginning there was a very comfortable insole with high arch. On this brand new pair, there is a cheap flat insole that doesn't even touch my arch. I had to buy an insole to find back my beloved Austin shoes. That is why I removed a star. Keen: why changing a winner? STOP THAT!

Fourth pair of Austins so far. Would love to be able to wear slim dress shoes but not any more so will settle for comfort and reliability namely Austins and long may they reign.

These are my 'go to' shoe for walking many hours a day on hard surfaces. Great as a travel shoe.

very comfortable shoes.

2nd pair of keen shoes so comfortable

From heading out on a date, working construction remodeling my home to flat pedal mt. biking, this shoe does it all with style. Now put a hiking sole on it and watch out! Ive owned at least 5 pairs of these over the past 6 years!
