Customer Reviews KEEN Boston II

This is my third pair of Keen shoes. I purchased these after I found out the first two pair were great walking shoes. Great support. I have an issue with my left heel after walking long distances. After using these, my heel can still keep going. I will definitely purchase more.

Not long ago, I purchased these shoes from Zappos and have loved them ever since. They are extremely comfortable and have a great casual look to them. While I've not had them long enough to test this out. I believe these shoes are very well made and will last a very long time. I would recommend them to anyone who needs comfort balanced with casual good looks. My experience with Zappos was just as satisfying. They have great prices and you cannot beat their shipping offers. They are quick, I mean real quick and I really appreciate that as well.

I believe this is the most comfortable shoe I've ever owned, maybe with the exception of really good athletic/running shoes. Plus I love the look. Very cool. My new favorites.

I really like this shoe but as with most leather shoes it needs a little breaking in, a little stiff. I also wish it had more comfortable padding. I know you can add comfort with inserts but I wish it came with a little more. Overall I like the shoe and the style. I almost wish it was a slip on.

The Boston is my third pair of Keens, They are just as comfortable as my other shoes, but not as breathable. Nonetheless I am satisfied with the shoe.

Pros: I like the look and they fit well but it ends there. Cons: no arch support. Had to put insoles in because there was no cushion at all. The heel of the shoe separated from the plastic base of the shoe within a week of purchase. Had to glue it back together. Overall: you don't always get what you pay for. I've had Keens before and they were more expensive but they also didn't have these problems.

Great shoe. Fits well, but they have a manufacturing problem. I had to return my first pair after a couple of days of wear because the stitching down the center of the shoe began to unravel. My replacement pair just arrived, and the seam down the center is crooked on one shoe!

I am so sad that the KEEN Boston II is no longer being sold! I bought a pair in 2009 and wore them every day for 13 years. So comfortable! That first pair that I bought in 2009 has finally worn out enough that I want to replace them, but can't! The cynic in me wonders if they were discontinued precisely because they lasted so long!

This is the third pair of Keens I have owned. I had a pair of sandals and a pair of casual shoes. They are outrageously comfortable for me while providing sturdy support. They are dressy enough for my work and look a little edgy, too. I wear mine with "work" socks as opposed to dress socks. These Keens keep my feet plenty toasty without my feet getting sweaty- this may actually be the feature that I like best about these shoes. I treated mine right out of the box with some Dr. Martens Shoe Balsam. The results were fantastic and long lasting. Not certain that I would wear them for hiking, but they are great for work- especially if you are on your feet for extended periods of time.

Needed a pair of shoes for all activities one might do in Europe. This was perfect for our 2 week trip...hiking...snow...rain...cobble stones...took them all in stride. Very comfortable...nice deep treads. Highly recommend!

I love this shoe. Such a simple footbed and so comfortable. The rigid sole is great for walking. If only that feel could be incorporated into something I could wear with dressier clothes.

I bought a pair of shoes like this but taller (2" or 3") I would say half a boot. I bought them like 9 years ago in Zion Utha. I cannot find another pair like that with the stitching down the center of the shoe. If you got this model I will buy you two pairs.

This is one of my favorite shoes...but it's an older model and my local store does not carry it in stock. I was happy to see that Zappos has it. I recently received my second pair I've purchased from Zappos...and when they wear out, I'll be back. Maybe I should buy several pairs the next time. Zappos gives excellent service!

Comfortable, you can wear with slacks or jeans. True to size and width.

I bought one pair of Keen and one pair of Born shoes. I've had several pair of Keen and always have loved them. This is my first pair of Born. They are very comfortable also. I will buy both brands again. This is my first purchase from Zappos.com. I ordered one day, they shipped the next and I got them much quicker than I expected. Very happy with this company.

My feet seem to tolerate Keen shoes more than any other brand. Zappos is the only place I will buy shoes since finding them. They are first and utmost customer satisfaction driven. Not to mention that both their written and verbal communications are refreshingly, "real", "fun", even perhaps, "sassy" (I mean that in the best way possible...all while providing excellent products and (as I have already mentioned) fabulous customer service. Zappos = WIN!

I wear the Boston II to work building houses. They have unbelievable grip, support, are lightweight, the Buffalo hide leather upper is bulletproof, don't get smelly, and you can walk up a roof twice as steep as any other shoe I have ever seen! I'm on my second pair and I walk about 4 miles a day, 300 days a year, rain or shine under extreme conditions and the first pair lasted me 4 years, longer than any other shoe or work boot, hiking shoe or cross trainer or even my Red Wings. All other shoes lasted at the most 6 months. Then my new puppy chewed the top off one of them. I bought another pair and keep them up off the floor now when I'm not wearing them! Gotta be the best designed shoes ever made!

Bought these to replace my old pair that I bought in 2007. I used those for day hikes in the Rockies and as an outfitter in the ADKs. Great durable multipurpose shoe with nice traction as well.

After 12 years in Sanita clogs, I broke my ankle. Forced to find a comfortable work shoe where I'm standing for 12 hours, I came upon the Dawson. I loved my Newports, so I bought these. I am happy to say, as much as I hated to give up my clogs - I truly love these. Comfortable and most important - nice and stable heel. I generally buy two pairs and have had 3 pairs of clogs I rotated. I purchased the Boston and with my VIP, had them the next day. I love the Dawson and the Boston as much as I love Zappos.VIP, that's why I'm ordering the Portsmouth tonight.

I'm now on my 4th pair of the Keen Boston shoes. They fit me like a glove and provide plenty of support. Nice enough for work and tough enough for hiking. They don't breath super great - so they can be hot in the summer - but they are waterproof. Must have shoes.

These are my favorite shoes. They give my toes room to move, and while the sole is thick and protective, it's flexible enough that I can feel what I'm walking on. After 2+ years of regular wear, they are showing their age, but they are still held together well. Will buy again.

I love the look of these, and apart from that, they are the most comfortable shoe I've ever owned. I'm inclined to buy several pair to keep on the shelf in case they ever discontinue this style. Really nice-looking casual style, and you can be on your feet in them all day. Terrific arch support.

Excellent shoe. Wore them right out of the box for a 13 hour shift (I am health care professional and on my feet literally all day). They felt great. I have had several pairs of Keens over the years. It is hard to find a brand that does not hurt my feet during a 12 or 13 hour shift. I still get tired but not sore. Keen are the best brand I have found for my situation and I have had great luck with durability as well.

Love this shoe. my husband bought the same one about 3-years ago, and wears it pretty much every month aside from summer. He loved it so much, there was no shopping required. We looked for the same shoe.

The shoes arrived in time before Christmas & my son loved them. We bought him a different pair from Zappos.com last year & he liked them so well that he asked for another pair this year. They are very comfortable & wear well. We highly recommend them, a good value for the money.
