Customer Reviews KEEN Calistoga

I have a high arch and the front stitches on the shoe are tight and dig into the top of my foot, but as I wear them more they are getting better. I will be wearing them a lot on a trip to Europe. I like the style, because they can be worn as casual and a little more dressy.

Love, love, love these shoes - I stand on my feet from 10-12 hours per day on hospital floors (concrete/tile) in an ED. The Calistoga is my second pair of Keens and I love both that I have. The first pair is still comfortable and supportive after 2 years, but I was searching for a different look. The Calistoga is so cute. I had at least 5-6 comments my first shift on how cool they were: what they were and where did I get them? I did buy the 1/2 size larger this time and they are actually more comfortable that way than my first pair. I can wear thicker socks with these whereas I cannot with the first pair. I also have wide-ish feet and these are perfect. Will buy Keens as long as they are made!

I love these shoes, even though my husband has pronounced them "Dorktastic." I like the clunky look and they are great for my wide feet. They are perfect with socks and loose with bare feet, so I stole my Superfeet insoles from my Tele boots and stuck them in. Works great.

Keen Calistoga - This shoe doesn't need any more high praise, but I ordered them at 7pm last night, and they were here before noon the next day! I am floored by the amazing service from Zappos and the shoes are awesome!! I am usually a size 8.5-9 in running shoes, so after looking at some of the other comments, I decided to go with the 8.5's, and they fit really well with thin socks. The 9's probably would fit too, but I am happy with the 8.5's. I also have a neutral arch, and I feel that the insoles are perfect for spending all day on my feet.

I like these shoes - I ordered a half size larger. And got a perfect fit. Working in a retail situation makes it necessary for me to find something comfortable to wear all day. They look good with no break in time.

Cute and comfy - I love these shoes. I have at least 10 pairs of Keens and have been looking for a brown pair for weekend clothes. The flowers are adorable and they will be great for Colorado fall, winter, and spring when the snow is less than ankle deep. They have Keen comfort. I would like them even better if they had a heel notch in the back, but so far I have not gotten a blister on my heel.

2nd pair for wife - Got these as a gift for my wife who says she has "happy feet". She replaces the standard insole with her orthotics which fit perfectly. Order a size larger for most people. She has used them for extended walking in the U.S. and Europe, even playing golf in them more than a few times. In regular women’s shoes she can barely walk a few city blocks, but her Keens are a different story.

Best yet - This is my sixth pair of Keens (going on seven) and they're my new favorites. I put them on and couldn't even describe how comfortable they are to my husband. Love them, lots. The top doesn't even need stretching to be comfy, like the Seattle’s did!

Another Great Keen!!! I purchased these shoes in Driftwood almost 9 months ago. I purchased them solely for wearing to my job as a retail merchandiser. I am on my feet all day and in and out of dirty back rooms of retail stores. These shoes have worn like steel and still look great. I wore them in the winter with socks that I color matched to the shoes. In the summer I have been wearing them with no socks. They have not stained as of yet and still look great. The only wear that I am noticing is that on one shoe the stitching is coming a little loose at the heel. This is probably due to me being lazy and not opening up the shoe when I put it on. I have started using a shoe horn when I put them on now to preserve the heel so I can still be lazy and not unbuckle them. I am a 9W and the size 9 fits perfect. The top of the shoe fit a little snug right out of the box, but it only took a few wearings to mold to my foot and fit perfectly. I love these shoes and am considering getting a second pair of this style in another color.

Keen Calistoga - Have been looking for shoes to take to England next month, and wanted something to wear with jeans, khakis, capris, as well as with a skirt. I have a wide forefoot and a very high arch, besides being diabetic, so I needed something that would provide good support, room for my toes, and no pinching. I ordered these in my usual size, and they fit perfectly right out of the box. The support felt good, though I did add my usual Superfeet insoles. I have tried them out during workouts, treadmill walking, and around town and have had no problems with rubbing, pinching, etc. Absolutely no break in needed, which is a first for me. Delighted with them!!! Despite what some have said about their appearance, I think they're really quite cute. I've had lots of comments from people saying they loved my shoes, and asking what kind they were and where I got them.

Shoes made the trip through Alaska and Canada! I needed a pair of shoes to wear on a vacation to Alaska and Canada (land tour for 7 days and cruise for 7). I have foot issues and needed a shoe with a wide toe box and good support for a lot of walking on uneven terrain, etc. These shoes were perfect without having them look like a hiking boot. They aren't the most beautiful, but they are cute with a “maryjane” type look. I will be able to wear them this fall and winter with jeans and khakis! I highly recommend these shoes for people who have problems with their feet (bunions, Morton's Neuroma, etc.) or back problems. The strap across the foot makes it easier to fit if you have somewhat of a narrow foot because you can adjust the width. A GREAT SHOE!!!!

LOVE these shoes! Where have I been?? I've only recently discovered Zappos.com and I love them. The reviews from other people were really helpful in making sure I got the right size shoe and knowing what to expect. I wear these shoes religiously and they're soo comfortable. Even without stockings. There is no break-in period, you just put them on and it's like you're walking on clouds... I've been careful not to get them scuffed or soiled as I'm not sure about cleaning them, but I'm sure the information is available either on this site or on the Keen site. Zappos customer service is outstanding. I put the wrong delivery address on the order, and even though the shoes had already been shipped, the C.S. gal was able to reroute the shoes to be delivered to me at work. They arrived the following morning. Thanks, that was awesome!!

Keen hasn't disappointed me yet. This is my sixth pair and won't be my last. I always size up in Keens, even though they are always a little too wide. Now that I've worn my Calistoga’s about 10 times, they've stretched and I think I could have taken my usual size. Likewise with the Berkeley, they stretched. I tend to wear these shoes barefoot or with very thin socks and even still, they're pretty big. You still can't beat their comfort, though. I keep them on the tightest strap setting and haven't had a problem so far. I was going to buy the Carnelian, and then I saw the Rum Raisin. :) So cute; when I have disposable income again, I'll buy myself another pair!

Wonderful shoes - I own two Keen Berkeleys that I absolutely love and they fit right out of the box with no break-in time. So I bought these in the Carnelian color, which is a great color. I have wide feet with a high instep and for some reason this shoe cut into my left foot the first time I wore it. I just think it was a small variance in the pair of shoes as I didn't have this with the Berkeleys at all (which are just same as this in a clog style). I normally wear a 7, but I need to wear a 7.5 in Keens. I think they are the best brand of shoes and plan to take them with me when I travel to the UK and Ireland in the fall.

Great Shoes!!! I bought these shoes so that I could have something to wear that would give me comfort and support, yet still look good with both pants and skirts. These are great looking AND comfortable! I can wear my orthotics in them, wear them all day long and they don't hurt my terrible feet. They go with everything. I love them! They may be too wide for some feet. I have bunions and the shoes are wide enough not to hurt them.

Awesome Shoes! I have really enjoyed wearing these shoes! They are so comfortable that even after a 12 hour shift on my feet, they still don't hurt. Not only that, but my co-workers have commented on how cute they are. They go great with jeans or can be dressed up a little with some tights! Great shoes!

My new favorite work shoes!!!! I've been looking for months for a casual shoe to wear to work, that was comfortable. I have to walk some distance to get to the office and summer flats were not cutting it. My niece in California came to a family reunion wearing these shoes. I went online and purchased them that same day! Zappos was the only online store that had Women's 10.5 in stock. I have several pairs of Keens because they fit my foot and accommodate my orthotic. My comments on sizing and width relate to this. Keens run wider than most other shoe brands. Their strap designs are excellent for keeping them on your feet.

Great shoes! The Calistoga shoes are stylish and extremely comfortable. They carried me over many miles of sightseeing in Germany and France.

Great Shoe! Everything you expect from a Keen. Comfort, function, and style.

Very comfortable - I love my Keen Calistoga’s. At first they felt a little big, but after wearing them a bit and adjusting the strap they fit quite nicely. They are very comfortable and took practically no time at all in breaking in.

Injury-free - These shoes are excellent for runners that need shoes to prevent injures when standing/walking all day.

Happy marriage - After years of searching, my feet have finally found the perfect shoe! These are by far my favorite Keens (I've tried 4 styles and sent 2 of them back) and without a doubt the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. And they are cute! From the moment I tried them on, I was in love. These shoes fit like slippers - soft and cozy, yet supportive, firm, and very durable. There was NO breaking in needed; right out of the box they were comfortable. I'm a college prof and walk great distances on campus. These shoes are the perfect style - practical, professional, and did I mention the comfort level? I loved the black ones so much that I bought a second pair in the driftwood color. Don't be surprised if I have them in red by the holidays... Unlike my other Keens, the Calistoga’s fit true to size so I got my regular 8.5. My feet aren't wide but I have low arches and these shoes leave my dogs feeling great at the end of the day. My feet ache after wearing my Newports for long periods, but not after wearing my Cals. These shoes are amazing; I can't believe how much I am in love with them! I highly recommend them.

Keen Calistoga - I love my new shoes. They are super comfortable and I am going to wear them a lot when I start teaching again this Fall. I usually wear an 11, but ended up getting a 10 1/2 and they fit perfectly, even with socks. This was my first time ordering with Zappos and I will be ordering again and telling all of my friends.

Great looking and comfort - It is my pleasure to comment on Keens... This was my third pair of Keens and I plan on ordering more in the near future...Great for work and styling... I wear them every day while working...I stand all day, 5 days a week...

Best shoes on Earth - Keens are my favorite shoes on the market. They are extremely comfortable, versatile, and aesthetically pleasing. People stop me everywhere I go to ask about my shoes. I have 5 pair at this point and plan on expanding my question. I buy them for my kids and husband as well! They are indeed the perfect shoe!
