Customer Reviews KEEN Calistoga

Oh boy! Decisions, decisions. Have purchased both the Keen Calistogas (so cute!) and the Winthrop clog. Can't keep them both. The clog is so comfy, my feet won't let them go. The Calistoga is a bit hard in the heel opening area with a thinner, rougher edge at the instep and heel. Sizing is weird; I wear a 10, which seem big, heels slips, ordered a 9.5, way too short. Seems more like a whole size difference than a half. The 10 fits better with orthotics and socks. The clogs are super comfy, but not the kind of shoe you can wear with skirts/dresses. I'm leaning toward these shoes in the hope they'll eventually break in and be a little more comfy. Arch support's not terrific, but I do wear the orthotics with them.

I ordered the size 11, and my feet were swimming around in the shoes. I then ordered a 10.5, and they fit much better. Cute shoes and I am glad I can put my custom insoles in them.

Very comfortable shoes after a few days of a breaking-in period. At first I wasn't sure, but now I am thrilled that I kept them. They do run very wide, but I was able to accommodate to this by buckling the buckle relatively tightly (which I needed to do despite my high instep). These are great shoes for traveling. They are comfortable and supportive for walking, but also nice enough for situations when sneakers won't do.

This is my second pair of Keens this summer, and the footbed/comfort can't be beat (as is the case with all of their shoes, basically). The Calistoga Mary Jane's aren't QUITE as comfortable as my other Keen shoes, though, only because the upper is more rigid (the heel area is actually rather hard, when compared to many other Keens which have elasticized-type material around the heel). Thus, these take some breaking-in, but once your feet are used to them, they're great. And again, you can't beat the comfort/support of the footbed. They're versatile, too, you can wear them with skirts/sundresses, shorts, jeans, you name it. In other words, you'll get your money's worth.

I bought these as a walking shoe for a trip to London. I bought an 8.5 but should probably have gone up a half size to 9 because my toes always felt a little smashed. My feet are narrow so I was afraid of the shoe being too big but I think with the adjustable ankle strap that would have make them fit ok in a larger size. My normal dress size is 8.5. For walking these were a very comfortable shoe, I never got back to the hotel at night with aching feet. I did have hot spot/blister issues on the heel of one shoe but once again could've probably resolved that if I'd gone up a half size. They were very stylish, not too clunky. They were the only shoe I brought. I wore them on the plane with a skirt and all around London with black pants and never felt awkward.

These shoes were a little too outdoorsy-looking for me. They looked cute in the photo, but the black sole comes up too far on the toe and makes the shoe look more rugged. Very comfortable though; I had to order a half size up.

Love the shoes. Cute and casual and sure to go well with hand knitted socks! They are fairly wide for my slightly narrow feet, but comfortable none the less. I did expect more arch support given the reviews I have read for Keens. I will probably beef mine up a bit with inserts.

I originally ordered a paid of Keen Portland Mary Janes and loved them, but they were too short, despite ordering up 1/2 size. Unfortunately, I can’t find the Portland anywhere online, so I ordered these instead. I was hesitant to order them due to some comments in reviews, but since Zappos has free shipping both ways, I didn’t have anything to lose. I was amazed that they showed up less than 24 hours after I ordered them. Zappos aims to please. I am a large, tall woman with feet to match. I normally wear a 10, so ordered these in an 11, due to the Portlands being too short. That was the right call. They are wider and a little sloppy, so I put in an insole, which is fine, and since I have some custom orthotics I use when plantar fasciitis flares up, it’s good that there’s some extra room in them. They do not look ridiculous on my feet or like "clown shoes" as some reviews have said. LOL! They are very cute, although a bit too wide. I do have narrow feet, but they swell due to autoimmune arthritis, so it’s good that I can adjust the buckle and that there’s some extra room. They have good arch support and would be fine for someone with plantar fasciitis. They are nice and lightweight, they are incredibly comfortable right out of the box. I still want to find the Portlands in an 11 though. They fit better.
