Customer Reviews KEEN Presidio

These shoes were just ok. They are cuter in the pictures than they are on my feet and look a little like bowling shoes on me. They are fairly comfortable and even a little wide on my feet that are too wide for some regular width shoes but not wide enough for wide width shoes. There is a little bit of gaping between my foot and the top of the shoe that I couldn’t fix with lacing. I bought these to compare with the Dansko Paisleys for an upcoming trip to Europe. Dansko Paisley won for even more comfort and better fit.

I'm disappointed at the quality of these Presidios. My previous pair was made of thicker leather, and the lining was also leather (not cloth). I am wishing I'd just re-soled the old ones, as the new ones are showing massive signs of wear (hole in the lining at the back of my heel), tear/ separation of leather at the stitching at the top right.

I had these in black and ordered the Tandoori Spice. The newer shoes feel a bit tight, which I hope will ease as the material is broken in. I like the color of these, and love the fit and comfort of my black shoes. One of the best things about Keen is the nice wide toe box.

Stiff, unyielding material. I couldn't even gauge the fit by trying these on.

Despite a very generous toe box, the design doesn't work for my crossover toes. There is painful pressure in just the wrong place even with all the wiggle room.

I have two pairs of these shoes and they are wonderful - I ordered a third to keep on hand, but I must have gotten the new "improved" model because they aren't the same. The design is slightly different and not as comfortable. the insole is now mesh which tends to wear thin in Keens, unlike the leather-look insoles in my other two pairs. The arch support in this new model hits me at the wrong spot - and I am SO disappointed because these shoes saved me from some severe back and hip pain. Oh well. I will have to try another style. Too bad that Keen can't keep making something that works instead of changing it up and making it worse. I don't know if they did it to save money or just to have something "new" but it was a mistake.

I have a pair of these exact keens but in blue i bought a year ago. i like them so decided to buy another pair. the orange ones were on sale so decided on them. got them, too big. they are supposed to be the same size as got last year, i bought a size 9 last year, and bought a 9 again. too big, foot sliding completely out of the shoe. second issue, but did not care so much, was the color, they are supposed to be an orange color, like the picture shows, i get them and they are red!. my theory, zappos puts the defected items on sale because every time i try and buy a "sale" item/shoe, there is something wrong with it. returning them which is too bad; cause if they fit like they are supposed too, i would have kept them, cause i liked the red. (if they are red, zappos should say they are red, not show a picture of orange.)

I adore Keens, but these seemed tighter than usual.

This show felt stiff and clunky. My ankles slipped when I walked in them. It was hard to tie these shoes tighter to prevent the slippage.

Lovely, well-made shoe. Unfortunately, the toe-box was too narrow for my feet. Very disappointing. I have an older pair of Keen Presidios in size 8 that fit me perfectly. I was looking forward to a second pair in another color, but alas, the styling of this version is much different. Bummer!

The fit was good. I have narrow heels and have learned a different lacing system to help with that, which I really needed with these. The shoes felt stiff, but after I wore them in the house for an hour or so I realized that I didn't like the color, and since Keens last forever, I thought I should return them and buy a different pair, which is what I did. So how long would they take to stop feeling stiff? I don't know. Stay tuned.

Heels are wide - slpped as I walked, even with thick socks.

The size is fine, but it is too stiff and hurts my ankel bone.

I LOVE the style and color of this shoe! I also like (and need) the wider toe area in front. Sad to say, I found the leather too hard on my feet. I have thin, bony feet and the leather interior pressed uncomfortably. I am so disappointed, I've had to return them. Regarding the fit, hard to answer with a simple true to size, too small or too large. I have a bunion on one foot that causes that foot to need about ½" more room. Typical athletic shoes have some give to them, but the leather shoes do not. So with the inflexible leather, one shoe is bound to fit well, the other a little too roomy or tight. But that's the oddities of my feet, not something wrong with this shoe.

Seams across the top hit a bone spur. Very uncomfortable

I have been wearing Presidios for years and always loved them. Something has changed with this new batch though. The leather is so stiff that my foot barely bends them and the leather over my hammertoe which has always been supple and roomy enough for real comfort feels like a plastic sheathe is rubbing it. I'm still hoping they will soften up a bit with wear but am not counting on it. Now I have to find a new favorite shoe and am not happy about that at all!

Unfortunately have to return. But will try another size. Shoe is not as flexible, as comfortable feeling as previous shoe. It appears that Keen has changed the quality of the leather. Leather was smooth on previous style of this shoe. This shoe is stiff. Very disappointed. I hope the next size will work. If not, I’ll have to find another replacement for my current Presido.

I tried these on and put them right back in the box. I love Keen's but these are the stiffest thing I ever put on my feet. They wouldn't bend to walk with them on. They are very heavy, I mean heavy. The style is cute.

These felt too big and bulky for me. My foot was fatigued after wearing them around the house for just a few minutes. Granted, I prefer minimalist/barefoot style shoes, so these were just way too much for me. Not flexible enough and too heavy. Style and color were very cute, though. Fit true to size for me.

I like the looks of this shoe, but it does not work with the shape of my foot. It was a little tight through the toes and too large in the heel area.

First, thanks to Zappos. The best on line shop, period. I have a pair of these in size 8 grape. The fit pretty well-- I have weird feet- my left foot is about a half size smaller than my right, and I also have bunions. The grape color has the leather foot bed. I wanted to try the blueberry color. I tried a 7 1/2- a little to short on my longest toe, then I tried the 8. I couldn't keep my heels from slipping especially on the left shoe. Tying the shoestrings tighter hurt the tops of my feet. I'm glad a got a pair in the grape color. They fit much better- a little wider in the toe box and slightly narrower in the heel. My conclusion is that the Presidio's with the leather foot bed fit better than the newer version.

This was to be my fourth pair of the Keen Presidio. Like other reviewers, I miss the old leather tongue (but came to enjoy the new, thick tongue) and the sides rub my ankle bones. Even so they've been the most comfortable shoe for my sensitive feet. That said this pair arrived and the toe box is not as high, making my usual size too small. Also, the brown tops turned out to be two-toned and not very attractive. I'm returning the latest pair and will search for shoes, like Topos, that are more consistent.

These shoes are cute! However, I have to return them because they are slightly too short and the heel is too wide. The leather is extremely stiff and I'm sad I have to let them go!

They look cute and sporty, but I felt they were kind of on the wide side and a bit heavy/clunky. Maybe they are a little closer to a hiking shoe than a sporty sneaker, but I am returning them.

I ordered these and Keen Presidio Sport Mesh WP in size 9.5. I liked the style of these BUT they were a bit too small...smaller than the Mesh WP!
