Almost!
A loose fit that might work for some people but didn't for me. I liked the footbed. I liked the look. I just didn't like the sense that I could pivot my foot inside the shoe; I have a narrow foot with a high arch. The shoe seemed to be the right size, so I think it's just personal preference. If I hadn't ordered other pairs to try out that I liked better I might have gone with these... I would at least try other styles before giving up on the brand.

No problems here -
These Keens came out of the box and onto my feet. They're just as comfortable as people told me they would be.

Any Keens, it just depends on your taste in style. They're the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned.

Fantastic shoe!
I've gotten several compliments on this great shoe and it was my first Zappos experience. I ordered the shoe at 4 PM and had it in my hand when I got home from work the next day. Wow!
The shoe is incredibly comfortable and offers good support throughout. I got the Ember color because it was on sale and love orange and find that it adds nice a nice touch to the shoe. This is my first pair of Keens and I can't wait to get more!

Excellent!
Very comfortable, supportive, and good looking also. Love the wide toebox and super-cushioned insole. Keen is the fit that my foot has been looking for! And Zappos shipping was lightning quick!

Keen Rules Again!
I must say that I am so hard on shoes, and the Keens keep coming back for more. I weigh over 400lbs and I have struggled my whole life to find shoes that give enough support. Well the Keens are amazing; I never have sore feet after wearing my Keens, especially the Austins. They are a great fit. I now own 6 pair of Keens and I am looking as I write this to buy another pair.

Great shoe!
This shoe fits perfectly (order 1/2 size larger than Keen sandal size). No break-in period required--very comfortable and supportive right out of the box. Love the look for work and travel.

Excellent ...as expected from Keen!
I & my family own many pairs of Keens, typically we have worn the Newport H2 variety, but also the Yogui as well as the Targhee; the Austin style was purchased as I thought I was purchasing the Bronx style. Having already read the Bronx reviews, I expected the shoe to run small. When I tried the size 12 it fit just right, so I was very pleased as that is my normal size. Unlike the Bronx this shoe is true to size (at least in the larger sizes). This shoe fits like a glove and requires no break-in.

My boyfriend loves these -
I recently bought these for my boyfriend in the brown with burnt orange trim. He loves them and wears them all the time! They have a very cool, casual, rugged look and feel to them- I would def. recommend them.

Keen Austin "finally a shoe that fits"
As usual I went to a local REI to try these on before I purchased them on the internet and found that they felt for me a little larger than the size indicated. I had a few issues with my right heel rubbing a little (which is quite usual for me, nothing a couple of bandages couldn’t temporarily fix) from the first wear. Maybe after a couple of times walking around the neighborhood they began to loosen up to a perfect fit. At first I was a bit skeptical about the WIDE toe bed, but after you get use to the look the feel is awesome, my toes actually lay naturally as opposed to being all scrunched up. Great shoe, now we’ll see how long they last. If these guys are durable which I have a feeling they are, I have a feeling these will be my new brand of shoe! I would recommend them to everyone and I have! Oh a plug for Zappos, they rock on fast shipping and a quality product!

Perfect fit AND comfort!
The Keen Austin shoes are possibly the best shoes I've ever worn! While the look of a Keen is a bit unconventional (and takes some getting accustomed to), the fit and comfort--all-day comfort!--is unmatched. I attend trade shows for the art materials and hot-rod industries, where you're on your feet ALL DAY EVERYDAY...Keen is NUMBER ONE! I have two pair of the Austins, and FOUR Keen sandals. I just wish they made golf shoes!!! Hopefully soon...are you listening, Keen??

Works for me!
I have narrow, flat feet and wear custom insoles with almost all of my shoes. I however kept the original insoles in the Austin and they work beautifully. These shoes were extremely comfortable right out of the box. Great arch support.

Great shoe -
I just love these shoes. The fit is great, and as soon as you put on the shoe it feels like an old pair of jeans. This is my second pair of Keen's. I've had my first pair for three years and their still going strong. These will be the only shoes I buy. I've even got my mom buying them she loves them too.

Most comfortable shoes I've ever owned.
I typically wear Vans, Docs or Simples, but these Keens are by far the most comfy I've owned. The factory insoles are very springy and supportive. I normally wear a size 15 in most shoes, but the size 14 Austins fit me like a glove. I have a wide foot (about an EE or EEE width) and the large toe box is a welcome accommodation.

These are awesome shoes. Light-weight, comfortable, and good looking, I forget at times I am wearing shoes. Like Keen shoes in general, they are a godsend for those who spend time on their feet.

Great!!!
I have only worn them since receiving them a couple weeks ago. But, I wear them every day all day. They are awesome and comfortable for my, size 13, wide foot. I tend to wear Smartwool socks with medium padding.

I first saw these on a friend and was jealous. Then I bought my pair. Wore them to work and on long days of site seeing in Europe. Did plenty of light hiking in them. Every once in a while I bought new laces and applied shoe polish to get them looking as good as new. Eventually, they served as my mountain biking and yard work shoes. After 8? years and untold miles. It was time to replacewith a new pair of Austins, of course! Love these shoes! Very versatile, comfortable, and great looking with jeans or khakis.

Tightly constructed and quite comfortable. Hopefully the shoes will soften with some use while the tightness does provide additional support.

I've been wearing this shoe for at least a couple miles a day 5 days a week since November and I think they are almost perfect. The toe is perfect, its stiffness is perfect and it looks great. My feet do not hurt when I get home and I walk everywhere in these shoes when I am off work as well. I used them on my bike the other day and they were great for that; really cut the wind on the feet. I am hoping for a waterproof non-slip version. Well done and thank you. I have yet to find a pair of Keen's I don't like.

One of the most uncomfortable shoes that I have bought in a long time. I have owned 5-6 other pairs of Keen shoes and was very happy with them. This pair was not comfortable when I first put them on. I figured they would be better after breaking them in, but after a year of wear no such luck.
I am still a fan of Keen shoes. But when I buy shoes from this brand in the future I will no longer assume that they will get better with wear.

this shoe has the stiffest leather I've ever encountered on a casual shoe. this alone made the shoe uncomfortable, but then the unyielding tongue was jabbing into my ankle. the product has been returned.
