Customer Reviews KEEN Boston II

Excellent Urban Walking Shoe - I bought this shoe on a friend's recommendation right before a trip to England where I would be doing a lot of walking - yes, I know, doing so has been a recipe for disaster in the past, but these shoes were perfect from the first day.

Comfortable work shoe - I work in a hospital and am on my feet all the time. I've found these to be really comfortable and am please to have found shoes that accommodate my orthotics. Only a couple of issues - the orthotics squeak in these shoes, and because they are very closed, not ideal air exchange = a bit more sweaty. Overall though, I'm very happy with them thus far. Ordered a half size up to accommodate the orthotics.

Keen's Boston II - I took these out of the box and put them on and was very surprised at the comfort! I took them to AK for vacation but packed a pair of tennis shoes just in case... I never took the tennis shoes out of the suitcase. Yep, 10 days of fishing, hiking, walking all over AK and never a complaint. My husband said I need to order a second pair for when these are worn out.

Sturdy shoe - I own 4 other pairs of Keens and was looking for a sturdy walking shoe. I bought these and as I have very wide feet with a high instep I almost couldn't get my foot into these shoes. I have to use a shoe horn to slide my foot in and am still in the break-in phase with this shoe due to my high instep. I've been able to wear them for about 2 hours at a time and I believe they'll be all broken in by the time I plan to take them to the UK with me this fall.

Keen Boston II - The Keen Boston II shoes are great. I bought a second pair so that when the ones I bought 2 years ago wear out, I will have a new pair. These shoes are comfortable, attractive, and virtually indestructible. These shoes have seen rough duty: I do fieldwork in remote areas of Mexico, and have taken these shoes with me twice, where they have been dragged through the mud on rainy days, thoroughly soaked, and used to walk on dusty paths for days or weeks at a time without being cleaned. Once out of these conditions, the shoes have cleaned up beautifully. They don't look new anymore, but they are in great condition (still perfectly intact, although a little worn) still look good enough to wear around town as casual shoes.

I am looking for my third pair of these shoes. The innersole comes out, my orthotic goes in, I am good for all day.

The usual Keen quality - I ordered these shoes as I already had a pair. I wore them out of the box for a multiple hour event and all was well. I knew to order a half size larger. I have flat feet so I can't really comment on arch support.

Great, versatile comfortable shoe - These shoes are some of the most comfortable I've ever worn. I love Keens, and these and the Briggs are my favorites. I also love the look of these shoes and can wear them with lots of things, even a casual skirt. Highly recommended.

Trading in my Borns for this Keen! This shoe is comfortable right out of the (very nicely designed) box. My toes have room to move and no part of my foot rubs anywhere. I'm a little concerned about the back of the heel/ankle area but so far (less than a week) so good. I think they're attractive--if a bit funky--and I like the rubber toe. I'd previously ordered a pair of Born's and kept trying to convince myself they were comfortable (my little toes kept going numb) because I liked the look of them but once I found these, there was no question. Zappos service as always was excellent!

I Love Keen Shoes - I just love my new Keen shoes!!! Have other Keen shoes and boots!!! I am on my feet all the time on cement floors and these keep my feet very comfortable....they are not tires at the end of the day, of 8 hrs plus.

Comfort with Style!!! I've been looking for this shoe for a long time! comfortable, hold up to a long day on my feet, walking the streets of NYC or hiking the trails around my house but look good enough to wear with Khakis in the office!

I LOVE KEEN!!! I love this brand!!! I bought another paid at REI and they didn't have this one. I loved this specific pair because you can wear them with jeans and look super cute!!!! These shoes are extremely comfortable to wear!!!

Looking for a hiking/walking shoe - Comfy walking shoe for my wide foot (I usually buy "wide", but this fit just fine). Seamless inside so there is no rubbing on my bunions. But do order a 1/2 size larger than you normally wear.

I love the look and comfort of this shoe - This shoe is one of the most comfortable shoes that I have ever worn. The size is just right for my foot, even though I have a narrow heel. I love these shoes. I have gotten many comments from friends and co-workers. I wear them with jeans and can even wear them to work with my khaki pants. I would recommend them to anyone who likes a very comfortable shoe.

A wide feet must! Just as everyone else says, Keens are awesome for so many reasons. I just want to add that for people who have a difficult time finding shoes that fit their WIDE FEET, these are a find!

Finally, a well-made shoe with GREAT arch support - I love my Keens!!! I love the great arch support and leather interiors. Everybody in the O.R. wanted to know what they were and where to get them. Great lateral support which helps keep knees aligned and reduces foot fatigue. I ordered half size larger to accommodate a nice wicking sock because my feet tend to get a bit warm [nothing uncomfortable]after a 12-16 hr. shift. I got the olive colored and they call them my "leprechaun shoes" because of the upturn to the rubber toes. They are cute and rugged.

If it's Keen, you should buy it! Absolutely my favorite pair of Keens, out of five pairs in my closet! Great with jeans and khakis, good for every day and sometimes to church! Really, outstandingly comfortable and just plain cool looking! Buy them, you won't be disappointed. Exceptionally comfortable, even after running around after my 2-year-old all day!

First pair of Keens and not the last! These are my first pair of Keens and I'll definitely be buying more! I was amazed that they were basically broken in when I bought them and didn't hurt my feet at all the first time I wore them. There is a squeak but it's not all the time and it's not enough for me to give up the shoes.

Keens are AWESOME - I just ordered these and will be my 6th pair of Keens (2 pairs Sandals, 2 pairs Shoes, 1 pair flip-flops). I have ALWAYS had a hard time finding shoes and these fit comfortably as soon as you put them on.

Comfortable & good-looking - I am very happy with these shoes -- they are very comfortable and look nice. I have no problems with squeaking, as some of the other reviews mentioned. They also seem as padded in the footbed as my Keen sandals and boots. I did not need to size up like some people do with Keens, but my foot is on the small end of the size I wear. I definitely would recommend these shoes.

Seemed Small - I normally wear an 8.5, but I'm going to have to send these back and try a 9. I've never worn a 9 before, so I'm really hoping they'll work b/c I hear rave reviews about these shoes.

Love 'Em! These are my fourth pair of Keens, and like the three before them, they are awesome! There is virtually no break-in period!

Great shoes - These are the best. Comfort, size, looks. I love them.

Keen Boston II - Very comfortable right off the bat. Felt true to size and width. I bought these shoes for a trip and walked alot the first day. Not too bad for breaking a new shoe in.

Keen Boston II - I found the Keen II to be very comfortable and lightweight. I was just as pleased with this Keen shoe as I was with my sandals over the summer. I do recommend ordering a half size larger.
