Customer Reviews KEEN Presidio

Keen Presidio - I have a wide foot with a narrow ankle, and a very high arch--the Presidio worked just fine for the width and the arch/instep. Unfortunately, the high sides of the shoe rubbed my ankle bone with every step and I therefore had to send them back. As far as sizing goes, I wear a 9 in the Keen Newport and ordered a 9.5 in the Presidio and the length was perfect.

A Little Wide - I love this shoe, especially the lining which is smooth and soft. It is a little wide for my foot and it pinches where the shoe bends at my toes. I am a little worried about finding shoe polish to match the tomato red shade.

I really like these shoes. I bought them because I needed something water proof for riding my bicycle. I can wear them if I put my arch support orthotic in and luckily it fits nicely. Otherwise, I don't know why people say it has good arch support. For me, on a scale of 1-10 the arch support is worth 3 points...

A few minor issues - The Presidio would have rated a 5 for "Comfort" if it weren't for the thickly padded sides that seemed very high and rubbed just below my ankle. I tried extra padding in an attempt to raise my foot; unfortunately it didn't help enough to tough it out. With thick socks it may not have been as irritating. However, I feel the shoes would have been very warm and I didn't want cold weather shoes. In addition, I didn't realize that the stitching was blue, because of that I rated it a 4 for "Look". I called Zappos to order a pair of the Keen Napa and was thrilled to receive them in less than 24 hours! The Napas resolved both issues that I had with the Pesidio. The lady whom I spoke to at Zappos was a gem. I wish all companies had representatives as professional, courteous and as efficient as she was to me. Thanks Zappos!

Not sure yet - I ordered a ½ size larger than usual & glad I did. So far I'm having trouble breaking them in. I'm also disappointed I still feel the need to wear my orthotic heel cups.

Very comfortable with one minor glitch - I'm retired and do lots of walking, hiking, etc. I bought these shoes for a month long trip to Europe where I'll be walking 6-10 miles on some days. These shoes are perfect except the sides come up a little too high, slightly hitting my ankles. I love the way the shoe looks and feels otherwise. The design of the shoe accommodates my bunions and orthotics. I've received lots of compliments on the look of the shoe. I wear them around town for running errands and hikes under 3-4 miles. I'll take my Merrell Jungle Primos to Europe and leave these shoes home.

Great support - These shoes fit great and offer wonderful support. I have foot and knee problems and I was able to wear these for a full day of walking right out of the box. The only problem with them is that the stitching is blue (it looked white in the pictures), so they don't go with as many colors as plain black would have. Overall a great shoe. I love Keen shoes, but these are some of the best Keens I've had.

Keen Presidio - I thought these were cute and comfy. A little stiff initially, and I got a blister on one heel, but my heels are pretty blister-prone. I got the green and it's a softer green than it appears on the site. Each leather panel is a slightly different shade and texture, which I think is my favorite feature.

Almost there - I heard that Keen was a great shoe. I bought three pairs (Presidio, Briggs, & Zoe) planning only to keep one to see which would win out. When this shoe came, I was really excited because I got the Camo color and it is a beautiful color. The heel is a very soft silky feeling and was very comfortable. It was very difficult for me to decide not to keep this shoe because I really wanted to. The reason I decided not to keep the shoe is because it is big and boxy looking, which didn't bother me too much, but it would only look right with certain outfits and was not versatile enough for me. I think this is a great shoe and very comfortable. The color I chose was beautiful. I just wanted a little slimmer shoe. (FYI - I wanted these shoes for a big vacation. All three Keens in the end lost. I am still looking. A pair of Naots are what I am hoping will come through for me.)

Keens great but pinch heel a bit - I like these shoes overall. Very good support for the arch and comfortable for walking. They do run small (I ordered a size larger than usual). The heel pinches a bit -- it comes to more of a V shape than the U shape of my heel. It is stretching out but requires a break in.

Comfortable - I bought these shoes because of their comfort reputation. I had a pair previously which I bought in my normal size and they were a little too small. Get a 1/2 size bigger than you normally would. I like these shoes because I can walk all day in them and my feel still feel great. The only thing I would change is the rubber sole that goes up over the toe of the shoe. I realize it is designed to prevent water/dirt from getting on the shoe, but it looks a little ugly. I don't have wide feet, but these are very roomy in the front. It's a classic shoe to have. Everyone I know that owns a pair of Keens loves them.

Keens - Def order a size up. I ordered a half size and I still think they're a little short. They are wide shoes, but fit great. Very comfortable but not particularly warm for New England Winters, which was a little disappointing.

Cool looking, comfy shoe - This is a great shoe! I am a loyal Dansko wearer and these are my first pair of Keens. They are really comfortable right out of the box and they look great. Easy to wear on the ice (not like my Dansko clogs) and I can see wearing them into the spring and again next Fall. Highly recommend!

Yin/yang shoe - Runs a bit small, I am a solid size 9 and had to get a 9-1/2. The front of the shoe and the arch support are wonderful. The back comes up higher than most of my shoes and is very hard, thus I developed nasty blisters on my Achilles after one wearing. The forefoot and arch comfort are so good, though, that I am going to try and tough it out and callus up the Achilles area and hope for the best.

I purchased it in red and love the look of the shoe. The arch support is very good. My only complaint is that it seems short compared to the size. I would suggest buying a half size larger.

Keen Presidio - I love the look of this shoe, and the color Tomato which is bright and happy. Unfortunately, the sizing is "off" from my other Keens. I have several other styles of Keen, which are all a size 10. After reading the reviews on this style, I purchased a 10. They fit a bit tighter than I prefer. The 10 arrived and fit much too tight. I returned them, and had to change my color choice as my original color was not available in 10.5. New shoes arrived, and they are still a bit tight. An 11 would have been a better fit. I have NEVER worn an 11 in any shoe, any style. There were no colors available that would make me happy in an 11 so I kept my 10.5 tomato. I love the color, and will just wear them for shorter periods and with thinner socks and without my orthotics. (I could not bear sending those fun tomato shoes back for good.)

A slight departure from the hiking boot look - I wanted waterproof comfy shoes that didn't scream backwoods hiker. And I really wanted that green! I tried these on in a store and thought they were sleek and practical. I ordered them from Zappos because they run a size small and I needed a size 11, not often carried in stores. When they came, they were the wonderful green I remembered but the sole seemed thicker. They looked more like a hiking shoe than I originally thought. Nevertheless, I have been happy with their casual look, especially being a fan of big round toes. For the first couple of days, the heel rubbed and the front left rivet pressed on the top of my foot. That has gone away now. I put some moleskin on the heel. They've been good in the Northern California rain. I am happy with them.

Shoe Review- I think they are a little wide in the toe area but they will work. A friend of mine advised me to order ½ size bigger which was the right thing to do, however they are a little wide.

Keen Presidio comfort - I have very bad feet but the first time I used this shoe it felt great. My orthotics fit in really well. I show dogs in obedience and shoes for walking are a must. These worked well for me. I was also glad for the waterproof in the early morning grass and on a drizzly day.

I love Keen shoes! My only complaint with this shoe is that I had a bit of trouble getting two shoes that felt the same size. Because of the multiple panels that have to be stitched together, there seemed to be more size variation among shoes than I've experienced with previous Keens. So, I had to order two pairs to find a left and a right that felt similar enough. But they're great now that I have them!

Keen still is the best! I needed to purchase one size larger than normally worn. Otherwise I have no complaints. This is an excellent wearing as well as looking shoe.

Very casual - This shoe is a great cross between a sneaker and a shoe, the only complaint I had is the back of the shoe rubbed the bone above my heel so I had to get a heel liner to improve the comfort.

Needs more arch support and narrow sizes! Then I'm down to wear these all day at work.

Vamp still too short Color was awful, not like previous shoes that were too small and I returned. I would have kept these but the color is like faded liver.
