Customer Reviews KEEN Presidio

I have had these awhile, and cannot agree with the other reviews. They are not nearly as comfortable as sneakers. They run true to size, but not enough padding - a very stiff feel.

This shoe was so unflattering. My first reaction was "Flintstone feet." The toe box is very square and wide.

I have been wearing the burnt henna version of this shoe for several months and am happy with them. I just received the black version (which is a bit more expensive) and it does not have the partial leather lining (some fabric which may be okay but feels differently), the back collar is different, the laces are cheaper/thinner and shorter. I have not decided whether to return or not, haven't decided on comfort so will wear a bit more on carpet and decide, I have many pairs of Keens in various styles and am somewhat disappointed in these.

Earlier this year I purchased the Newport sandals and absolutely loved them. I thought that I would try the Preisdo for winter. I found them to be stiff and hard, and uncomfortable. And lacking in arch support. So they went back.

These are very nice looking shoes and very comfortable, however, the first time I wore them to work, I slipped in water near the sink and fell hard, severely bruising my leg. I am exchanging them for the PTC Oxford which I have worn in the past and have confidence in that I will not slip in a kitchen again.

I hesitated before buying this shoe because my last pair of Keens has always been a little uncomfortable at the heel. Decided to try it based on the rave reviews. I knew immediately this shoe had the same problem. The bulky padding around the top of the shoe rubs into my ankles and heel. The shoe is very firm also.Not at all like my first pair of Keens, which have been discontinued, alas.

Nice looking shoe, however for me they are considerably narrower in the toe box than my Toyah's I have had for a couple of years. I have flat feet and wide forefoot with bunions and a narrow heel, difficult to fit comfortably. I appreciate Zappos allowing me to try shoes and return without hassles.

I like the wide toe box of Keens but since I wear orthotics, the shoe is tight. I wish Keens came in wide so will return them.

The shoe is lovely to look at; it is both sturdy and light weight. The length is perfect but it is wider than other Keen shoes I've bought. I put in an additional insole but this style is simply too wide for me. [Below: If by size, you mean length, it felt true to length.]

I returned these shoes because of quality. The rubber on the toe box has come apart from the leather on the inner toe of the right foot. This problem has happened twice and both times the shoe was returned.

Great at first... These shoes have a sporty, outdoorsy, trendy look and were very comfortable at first. I bought them for walking on an upcoming trip to Europe and all was well until I decided to give them a serious workout. After only 20 minutes of rapid walking on my neighborhood sidewalks, the back of my heels were raw and bleeding. As others have said, the backs of the shoes are too high and stiff. I still have hope that they will perform better with the addition of some moleskin cushioning, but won't be able to find out until my feet heal and I return from my trip. Right now, I am very disappointed and don't dare wear them.

Good for the first 6 months - I loved the Presidio at first. It had far better arch support than most shoes, a wide toe box, and no break in time and good cushioning. I have a high instep and very high arches with the added plus of under-pronating so before the Presidio I was having a hard time finding anything that felt good and didn't look horrible. However, it's been around 7 months since I bought these and the cushioning in the removable insert is completely gone in the ball of foot area (and some spots where my toes are) and heel. I'm not that heavy (125lb) and don't do an extreme amount of walking. The bottom tread looks nearly new in both. It's been a pain (literally) experimenting with inserts that I can use and actually work and so far, I've not had much luck. I wanted to buy another pair, but can't justify only 6 months of comfortable wear out of shoes I'm not wearing all day, everyday.

This shoe is serving its purpose. I bought this shoe as a walking shoe for an upcoming trip to Disneyworld. I think it will be comfortable and keep my feet from being beat up. They are a bit on the casual side for me; I don't wear sneakers ever. But I am probably being overly sensitive and they are cute and fine.

Crunchy granola look and feel. The Presidio looks comfortable but falls short of feeling comfortable because of the stiff nature of the Nubuck around the ankle. I have worn these shoes several times and they have yet to soften up.

Heel issues - I like the shoe, for support and traction, but right heel gives me blister like pain after a few hrs.

Comfortable foot bed, uncomfortable top - The foot bed was great. I've had foot pain, and I didn't have any while I walked around the house. However, the top of the shoe hit my ankles and rubbed, which was not comfortable. I had to return them.

A bit snug - The shoe is okay, runs a little small and isn't all that comfortable at the foot bed. The material by the back of the heel wears the skin raw unless you have thick socks. Not my favorite pair of Keens, but they will do.

Keens not that great! I have several pairs of Keens...I find the sole is too soft and flexible on all of them, and I will not be buying Keens again. For walking, my orthotic expert tells me, the best bet is a firm sole! I do like the styling, which is why I have several.

I'd love to love these but I'm disappointed - I've had many Keen shoes now, each fitting my foot perfectly. These look great, a bit funky. This is the first pair that I'm not as satisfied with as the top part hits my ankle bone. I've only worn them once. I seem to reach for my other Keens before this pair. But I am going to try to wear them once again and maybe they will feel better.

Ouch!! I purchased this shoe after having worn the Keen Sarasota all summer long with no problems. I have plantar fasciitis, a flat foot and a very sensitive area on the side of my foot where a bunion once was. I love the look of these shoes; they are so cute to wear with jeans. They were comfy when I first put them on, but the longer that I had them on they started to irritate the side of my foot where the bunion used to be. I tried a second pair thinking that the first one might have been made wrong, (and based on how well the Sarasotas fit) but I was wrong! I spoke to the customer service rep at Keen and she told me that certain shoes, the Presidios included, are slightly narrower than others. Sure enough when I measured the bottoms of the Presidios against the Sarasotas they were approx a 1/4" narrower. This measurement is not listed anywhere that I'm aware of and there is no way to tell by looking at a picture so I'd be nervous to try a new shoe prior to discussing it with the people at Keen. I'm going to try the Portolas and the Briggs as she said they were slightly wider. Wish me luck!

Ouch! I bought these shoes last year for a trip where we'd be walking a lot. They were stiff at first, but I had no idea how they would tear up my heel. I had deep cuts on my heels and was too far from our base to switch shoes. I actually had to buy new shoes and haven't worn the Keens since. I may have rated the look higher if my feet were larger, but in a 6.5, the shoes are very stubby and blockish. Now they reside in my closet. My husband has worn Keens for several years and loves them so making the investment for myself was exciting. So sad!

Standardized Sizing Please! My husband has a few pairs of Keen shoes which he loves. I finally bought a pair of Presidio’s for a trip I'm currently on which requires a lot of walking. The first 3 times I wore them, my heels bled - even through band aids. The shoes themselves are very tight in the width and my toes rubbed together. My feet are of average width. I'm very disappointed and frustrated as these are quite expensive and felt fine around the house in preparation for the trip...So I'm stuck with a $100.00 pair of shoes that I can't wear and am wearing my running shoes out at night...

Cute shoe - I really like the way these look, but they are very tight where the upper part of the heel meets my achilles tendon. Was going to buy in other colors but I'm having a hard time breaking them in.
