Great shoes! After having foot surgery, I needed a good arch and stability/motion control. These provide both - love these shoes!

I first purchased Keen sandals, so I decided to try these shoes for work. I manage a retail tire and automotive center. I walk on concrete all day long. In the past I have had problems with arch support, but so far these shoes seem to be doing very well. This is the third pair of Keen brand I have purchased, and I have been very pleased with all three pairs.

Everything about my shoes and about Zappos has been perfect. I ordered these shoes on a Saturday, selected free shipping and got them on Monday afternoon. I needed them in time for a trip and they came in very handy. Zappos is consistently the best online shopping experience going. On the shoes themselves, this is my 3rd pair of Keens. On the trip in question, I wore them to some semi-dressed up events and to some more casual events and they looked good in all settings. I also hiked through some pretty awful rainy cold weather for several days and they kept my feet warm and dry, and they still look good. My new favorite pair.

I bought these for my husband and he loves them. He actually said he was going to wear them everyday at work until I got him the brown ones, too! He said they are comfortable and he doesn't realize he's wearing them. He has a professional job but is on his feet a lot during the day so these fit the bill perfectly!

Bought the Keens and they fit perfectly. No bad break-problems. The shoes arrived in a timely fashion. Very pleased with the entire process.

I bought these shoes for my husband. He has 2 pairs of KEEN sandals and dreaded not being able to wear them in the winter because they were the only shoes his feet & back (spinal fusion in 2003) LOVE..... He absolutely LOVES his KEEN Boston and I also got him a pair of KEEN Austin. He is on his feet all day long at work & told me that if these shoes ever go on sale..... he wants me to buy him 10 pairs. So, yes, 5 stars!! I only say wider than marked because KEEN width runs wider than other brands.

This model is to me the classic style and comfort that makes Keen shoes my favorite brand. I wear them to work and out at night; they never let me down. Also the rounded toe design makes even my size 13 foot look small when compared to other brands. Thanks for another great shoe!

I've been wearing my new Keen Boston II for a few weeks now, and couldn't be happier. Other people have commented that they squeak, but so far mine have been quiet; I also found the Boston's to be true to size.

This shoe is phenomenal. I live in it when I work. Do a lot of standing and walking and feel great at end of day. A movie star referred this shoe to me! And told me to go to Zappos to find it. This is a lasting shoe; this is my second pair. My first ones, ~ 3 years ago, are still in great shape, wanted to have a pair to hike in and one to work in. I have stopped wearing tennis shoes to work; these are better. Love this shoe.

This men\'s Keen Boston II is a good option for women trying to replace their own worn Keen Boston I or II shoes. The women\'s shoe is no longer available (sob!), but I am finding the men\'s to be an acceptable variant.

I tried a variety of different Keen shoes before going with this version. Every Keen style I tried on was ridiculously comfortable, but a lot of the soles didn't look like they would hold up over time (which is just stupid since they are a pricey shoe). These had the sole that I think will last a while. Great arch support. Roomy. I have narrow feet, however, so if you have caveman feet, take this review with a grain of salt. I'm a chronic toe-scuffer, so the exaggerated rubber toe is ideal for me. The only drawbacks I can think of are that the cuff area took a couple of weeks to break in and that there were no color variants to choose from. I'm guessing that's because they are built to last. As far as the style, it's very eye-of-the-beholder. My wife likes it. I like it. The shoes are comfortable as can be. Highly recommend.

Supportive, but wide -
Very comfortable for all day wearing. True to size. Wider than most for plenty of toe room. Would like it offered in polish leather.

Great shoe!
This is a great, good looking walking shoe. It looks better than I expected, it's very comfortable and fits very well. I spent several hours yesterday walking around the French Quarter in New Orleans and my feet felt great at the end of the day. I highly recommend this shoe.

Knee Pain Gone!!
On my feet most of the day - - dealt with chronic knee pain for years. Gone the day I put on the Keen's and hasn't returned since. Wear them nearly every day. Perfect shoe for walkers. Re: fit - - if you wear the Keen sandals (which I recommend, too) then they are the exact same size for these shoes. I wear a 10 in both. Normally I need a slightly wider shoe, but not with Keen. Cannot believe that Zappos customer service is so incredible! I will not shop anywhere else for shoes now. Will have to check out the rest of their offerings, too.

Boston II / Keen shoes -
Bought my first pair of Keene shoes in October, it’s the first pair of shoes in a long time that provides comfort and is stylish at the same time. The fit is great and provides the necessary support and comfort required. Being that I am a diabetic the shoe fit is very important. Will be buying another pair soon.

Keen Boston ll -
I was desperate for a pair of these shoes, did not have my size in ladies, so when the men had them, I opted to purchase a pair of them. These shoes are too comfortable!!! Great arch support and very well made. I have many pairs of keen shoes already-these are so true to what I am used to in the others. These are a tad big as I bought a 7 in men's, but since they are lace up, they still fit my heel and ankle, I can wear my thickest winter socks and still have a lot of room for toes gone wild! Good gripping non-floor marking soles. Love the shoes...as anyone who has even one pair of keen's already knows. If you know you are going to be on your feet all day? Good for cold rain, sleet, snow or walking anywhere. If you want comfort and rustic style, these are truly the shoes for you...they will not disappoint!!

Great shoes -
Comfortable shoes the fist day. Very comfortable shoe after two days. My favorite pair of shoes are the Keen Briggs but the Boston II are almost as comfortable and they look different. Very impressed with Zappos. Their service is second to none. I will always check them first for availability of what I am looking for. They are fast and nice and they always try to please the client.

I LOVE PROPET SHOES. Now granted they are no where near Jimmy Choos (sp?) but I have a foot swelling problem and these support my feet while they expand and contract. I get compliments all the time re: the wash and wear slip-ons. I am now ordering my 5th or 6th pair since discovering Zappos. They are classy and comfortable and a really good buy for comfortable shoes.

Cushy - Very comfortable right out of the box, good arch support, accommodates my high instep also. Wide toe box allows toes to spread naturally while walking. Thanks Keen, and thanks Zappos for the usual great service. I never buy shoes anywhere else.

I love these Keens!
I was always a believer in Dr. Martens and wore them for years, but the quality and fit was starting to slip. I thought I would try something new and the Keen Boston II was the choice for me. I am blown away by how much more comfortable these shoes are than the Docs - these are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn, including running shoes. They felt like they were molded to the shape of my foot from the fist moment I put them on. The arch support is great and the toe box has just the right amount of wiggle room. I love these Keens!

Comfort and beyond... after 4 years, my second pair -
I have what is called a "high instep" which can be a problem. Five years ago I ran across these shoes, bought them and loved them. Twice I have walked all over Scotland and four times I have walked all of Grandfather Mountain, NC. These are quite comfortable and with the unusual toe, keeps my piggies wiggling and not cramped at all. I love them and wear them at times to my law office with a sport coat. As you can see, I am quite impressed with these Keen shoes. They are recommended without any hesitation whatsoever.
