Customer Reviews KEEN Calistoga

Wonderful, but squeaky - I bought these shoes in a 10.5 and they fit almost perfectly. However, whenever I wore them, they would squeak very loudly, even with socks. I sent them back hoping that maybe a larger size would squeak less. I just ordered them now and am hoping they work! Oh, and it came from Zappos in all of about 14 hours - amazing!

Orthotic friendly & cute, too - I am sick of wearing sneakers to work everyday just because I'm hindered by an orthotic! These shoes are not only cute, but fit with my orthotic. I had a bit of a rubbing issue across the top by the end of the first day, so I took a day off from wearing them. I hope Keen and others continue making shoes that accommodate inserts and don't look like old lady shoes! As for Zappos, they have the finest customer service and delivery turn-around of any company!

This shoe felt good on my feet at first, but soon was cutting across the top of my foot. The comfort was good, giant toe box (thus the look was a little “clownish!”). I'll keep trying with other Keens until I find one that fits my foot.

Great shoes - I love these shoes. They are very cute, even better in person because you can see the little flower cut outs. The only problem I had was the comfort level for work. I am on my feet 10 hours a day and they are comfortable for a few hours, but they just don't have the support for the long haul. BUT, for everyday use like shopping, working without being on your feet all day or any other wear, they are wonderful!! This is my 4th pair of Keens, and the original pair was the best (for work) but they have all lasted and I will be buying more!! Please make more fun colors!!! Thank you...

So comfy - This is the comfiest shoe ever. I stand on my feet all day long and I was desperate for something that would look halfway cute and allow me to not limp home at night. These are pretty cute - I'm sort of sick of mary janes. Why can't someone revolutionize shoe design? We need something casual/super-comfy designed for standers at work. I am so over Crocs and Danskos are not really comfy. These shoes are so incredibly comfortable and are cute, but I'm ready for the next thing...

Overall a good shoe - Very cute shoe, pretty comfortable. Wish it had more arch support. I was surprised, after reading other reviews that I had to go a half-size smaller for this shoe. Even compared to the other Keens that I own, these were bigger. Thanks to Zappos, it didn't cost me to make the exchange. Oh, and my bare feet squeak inside these shoes, (but maybe that's a personal problem!).

A great pick for my vacation! I bought these based on other recommendations and I'm glad I did. I took these on my recent trip to Australia and New Zealand and had absolutely no problems. No blisters or rubbing in the wrong areas. I originally ordered a 7, sent it back and got the 6.5. It's perfect, with or without thin socks. They aren't the cutest things on the planet but not the worst either.

Comfy, but beware of blisters in the beginning - The shoe is cute and comfy, but I had pretty bad blisters on my heels and right where the buckle hits my foot. They are starting to be broken in, but I have to wear band-aids when I have them on. My friend told me hers were the same way when she got them, but then after maybe a month they broke in and now they are fabulous.

Awesome shoes - I love these shoes. They are very comfortable, and they look nice too. Casual and at the office. The only problem I have... they tend to smell if you wear them all day without socks like I do. Recommendation: take out the soles and wash them periodically or invest in some foot powder. Their only fault! (Or maybe it’s just me).

Cute, but ... I bought these and although they felt comfortable around the house, I got blisters on the back of my ankles the first time I wore them out. I hope they break in and stop giving me blisters. I haven't been able to wear them again without band-aids yet. They are very cute.

Cute duck feet - I needed a shoe that would let me hike on Vancouver Island and also stroll down Main Street in Vancouver, BC. This shoe will do it - the sole is rugged enough for dirt trails and the look -- while a bit "duck-billed" at the front -- is feminine. It's wide in the toe but fits well at the heel. I ordered my true size and it fits. I worried that the strap would be too short for my high instep, but it fits well on the longest setting. I do need to add higher arch supports, but the insoles are probably fine for most people's arches. I wish I could use the red - but went for the quieter driftwood color.

Too wide - I bought these because my plantar fasciitis makes it difficult to find anything comfortable. They're too darn wide especially with thin summer socks and I could live without the little flower cutouts. I have a never-ending love-hate relationship with my Keens.

Keen Keens - Love the look and would give them 5 stars for comfort if I wasn't still suffering from the blisters I acquired breaking them in this weekend...the way it goes.

Great for walking - I took them on my trip to Washington, DC. They were very comfortable, but my feet do swell, and after a while, the top started cutting into my skin. I hope with a few more uses they will give a little and that will not happen again.

A Really Nice Shoe! This is a great shoe! I have a wide foot and a very high arch and these fit great except for a little rubbing right across my instep, but I think that will break in as I wear them more. These are a really cute shoe and look to be very well made and durable.

Comfortable, but wide - I found this shoe to be comfortable but quite wide. If you have a narrow foot, just be aware. I found the length good, but overall the shoe just seemed too roomy. I was disappointed, because I like the look and comfort.

Great look! I love this shoe. It looks like it was made for me. However, it took ordering a half size up (thanks to Zappos for the generous return policy and free shipping!) after trying my normal size to find the right fit. I ordered these to wear as my main shoe on an upcoming trip to Europe because I know I'll be doing a lot of walking. I've heard great things about Keen's comfort, so I wanted to give them a try. I have wide feet and these fit well width-wise (even at a medium width, so those with normal feet may find them too wide), but the edge at the front of the area between the toe box and the strap was just too tight. I don't consider myself to have a high instep, so this surprised me. When I received the pair in the 1/2 size larger, I still noticed a slight bit of discomfort there, but decided to keep them and see if that would wear in. After just a few wearings, they feel perfect now. That was my only issue. I also tried the clog style of this shoe, Keen Berkeley, and found it ultra cute, too, but my heel slipped up too much while walking, so they went back. Thanks again, Zappos, for having such a large selection and making it easy and risk-free to shop online! With a few tries, I got exactly what I want.

Great Shoe - I bought the Calistoga because of the look of the shoe. It is a very cute shoe indeed! I took the advice of other reviewers and ordered my regular size and it worked fine. Usually I have ordered one size up with Keen, but with this shoe it is more true to size. Not as much arch support as with other Keens I have, but still very comfy and the strap is adjustable, so it helps with getting a perfect fit. Highly recommend the Calistoga!

Cute, but I like "Seattle" even better - Whenever I have bought Keens before, they are comfortable right out of the box. These feel like they need a little breaking in around the back. I have a pair of the "Seattle" which is very similar and love them, but needed a fresh pair of Keens so I decided to try these. I was a little disappointed because these aren't cushioned around the back or have the one handed adjustable strap (very handy) like the "Seattle" style. I didn't look at those two details online beforehand.

Cute shoes, but not quite for me... With regards to the shoes: I ordered both the size 5 and 5 1/2. The size 5 was a perfect fit, if I didn't wear any socks. But, since that wouldn't be an option, I tried the 5 1/2. It seemed a little too big, even with socks...So, I ended up returning the shoes. I ordered the driftwood color, which I didn't care for too much. But, the insole was comfortable and the overall styling (except the color) was nice. With regards to Zappos.com - a great website for shoe shopping, especially for women who wear a size 5 to 5 1/2. It's becoming difficult to find those sizes at the department stores these days.

Great, but not a great as I thought - I was hoping that these Keens were going to be as comfortable as the Seattle that I wear every day, they are not. They are cuter, but not as cushy. I wore them so I cannot return them, now I just have to make my mind up to try to break them in. I still recommend the Seattle!!!

Cute shoe - Very cute but it runs a size small. I typically wear an 8.5 and that's what I ordered but it is almost 1 size too small. It also runs wide which doesn't look good on my narrow to medium width foot.

Cute & Comfy - I got these in red, they are very comfortable. Nice for casual wear, and great for capri pants or skirts. The detail and stitching I really liked. Tread makes for good walking shoes and arch support.

Cute, comfortable shoe with many wardrobe applications - I had tried on a similar Keen style in a local store to get my size and ordered accordingly. I would have ordered a 1/2 size smaller in this particular shoe as it turned out to be a bit bigger than the previous style I had tried. It will work well for winter and thicker socks, but will keep it from being a good summer shoe for me. The look is that cute Keen look that works well with casual clothing, but can also work with casual professional or casually dressed up going out attire. The shoe is very comfortable with a good amount of cushion. The rubber sole had a decent tread so it's a stable shoe in slippery weather. It's cute looking -- the stitching and flower cut outs really add a little feminine flair to the shoe.

A bit wide - I love Keens and their styling, but this one is a bit clunky and wider than usual.
