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.

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!

I have had several pairs of the Keen Austins, but didn't realize how much my feet have shrunk since I have lost weight. The new pair appeared
the same as my existing shoes, but fit much looser, even with an insert. Nothing wrong except my feet are now very flat and narrow.

I've had several pairs of Keens, including a pair of these same shoes (the Austins) in the past. These don't feel quite as comfortable as previous iterations, but they still fit well, the wide toe box is nice, and they cup the heel well.

This is my third pair of Austins. I really like how Keens are wider at the toe, and once broken in are incredibly comfortable. I wish they could be resoled, because the uppers are in fantastic shape, not a loose stitch in sight.

second pair of Austin KEEN shoes and these aren’t the bungee cord shoe laces I’ve had in the past.

I have narrow feet, but they don't make many shoes in a size 15 narrow.
This shoe has a wide toe box. When I tighten up the laces to cinch down on the rest of my foot, they look a little 'clown-ish' with the wide box at the front.
Also, I recently spent the day standing on concrete volunteering at a vaccination clinic. The padding is very limited. Next time I will probably buy a different pair of shoes.
Lastly, the waterproofing is solid. Two thumbs up on that score.

Nice shoe. A little snug at first. Laces/ eyelets are tight with little give.
So far, I am very pleased

Love these shoes. I've ordered twice now. The most recent pair had awful laces that will not under any circumstances stay tied (even knotting them as hard as I can muster) so I've had to replace them.

The style of a Keen show is just that....Keens toe box is shaped funny. So know what you are getting when you hit submit. The shoe itself is very stout, after juts 1 day fo wear though they feel better. I have walked a little over a mile in them and they are wonderful so far.
The sole is very "grippy". I expect them to perform well in coming bad weather. So far, I'm quite happy with them.

These shoes are rugged and supportive with just enough arch and heel support plus plenty of toe room to let the tootsies breathe!

Nice shoe but runs about a full size too large. I ordered a 17 M, and it felt like a 17.5 Wide. Had to return it for a different style.

My Keens were great while they lasted - approximately one year. I appreciated the shape of the footbed (rather natural) but when it wore out, it made it hard to replace the insoles. They began trapping odor in spite of cycling my work shoes, and had to be "put down" after about a year's worth of wearing 3 times a week for 8 hour shifts. Could be better. I'd recommend Eccos.

A great fitting shoe. However, I found the tongue to be so stiff that the leading edge rubbed against the top of my foot enough that it caused quite a bit of discomfort. Too bad.

They seemed extremely well made and very comfortable. They felt like they would carry me for miles. But a medium width was just too odd for me to adjust to. If you've got wide feet you'll love these. If you've got normal feet or prefer medium width shoes keep looking.

Solid shoe. I liked the shape of it where the toes go. My pair lived for about two years before falling apart - if you can deal with that, these are decent shoes. If you're looking for greater longevity, look elsewhere. I wore them approximately 30 hours per week.

These shoes are unique. And well made. But they are shockingly heavy and wide. So I don't wear them as much as I thought I would.

A little thinner and less plush than some of my prior Keens. The tread seems to be a little better on the ice though.
