Customer Reviews KEEN Calistoga

Like it, but not enough to keep it - I had high hopes for this shoe, but I had to send it back. It was too wide, and overall I think it was a 1/2 size too big. I also felt like the strap would cause pain with walking for long distances. Maybe breaking them in would alleviate some of the pain, but I didn't feel like making the effort. Zappos, however, has been amazing, and I will continue in my quest for the perfect walking shoe!

Not for narrow feet! I loved the look of these shoes (the photos can't do them justice) but had to send them back. Despite the adjustable strap, they're just plain wide, especially in the heel. Even with a taut strap and heavy socks (which really would not be a great way to wear them); I slipped out with every step. I was very disappointed but ordered the Sydney II instead. They're somewhat similar and fit perfectly. Wouldn't it be nice if Keen made, say, a B width and a D width? The Calistoga struck me as D, for sure. I have two pairs of Amsterdam's, however, which are more like an A width. Strange Keen fit--but when they fit they're the best thing on earth.

Not for narrow feet - I love the look of Keens and the theoretical comfort, but I've never found one shoe style that works for my narrow feet.

I so wanted to love these shoes, I just couldn't. The toe bed is clownishly large (just my taste, no offense to anybody!). I still might have kept them but the top of the shoe (not the strap) cut into the top of my foot. Why it was so tight when the toe area was so spacious, I know not. Couldn't wear these around the office for a test spin even.

Calistoga's did not work for me - The size/length was the right fit, but the top of the shoe dug into the top of my foot. If I went up another 1/2 size, the shoe would have been too long.

Didn't work for me... My second try of Keens. I tried the Saratoga IIs first and they were a little small and tight in my size. So I exchanged for these. They are kind of cute, my husband liked them (in the green), but right off the bat, I could feel digging into my heel and the top part (not the strap) into the top of my foot. I have thick feet I guess, not wide and not too flat, just thick (from floor to ceiling) and these do not do well with thicker feet. Otherwise comfort and arch support would've been nice. Had a nice look for the "hiker" type. It has a fabric insole that is removable, so none of that squeaking goes on. I guess I'm done trying Keens for now though. I even ordered 1/2 size up to make sure they'd fit and they were long, but didn't have any give for the tops of my feet.

Not what you expect from Keen - These were very, very rigid on the top. They cut into my foot and I am not patient with having to 'break shoes in'. All my other Keen shoes--awesome. Not so much for the Calistoga. Thank god for such easy returns with Zappos!

Too clunky for me - I liked the construction of the shoes--seemed very solid and able to hold up well to much wear. But the shoes are really clunky and big. And the rubberized toe not so flattering. The sizing also seemed off--at least a half size large and wide, too. Returned these and will keep hunting. Love Zappos!

Not impressed. They look a little clunkier than I thought they would be. Sort of like Minnie Mouse shoes. Also, they hurt the top of my foot where the rim rubs.

Didn't work for me! I have normal size 10 feet, not wide, not narrow. I got an 11 because I heard reviews about it being tight. Well that just made them super long, and they are SOOO tight, there is no breaking them in on the top of my foot. The top of my foot squishes out and looks gross, it has no give whatsoever. They are cute in a tomboy sort of way, but won't go with anything I have. The green is an army/olive green. The strap is uncomfortable too and they squeak when you walk and sound like rubber moving. Not for me at all! I was looking for arch support. It also rubs in the heel area and looks too industrial. Looks like a shoe for hiking: that's it!

Butchered Keens!!! I do not like the new version of the baby doll shoe by Keen. WHY DID THEY CHANGE A GOOD THING!!!? The old version with the wide toe box and slide adjust strap was wonderful!!! I hate the narrow toe box and ankle strap!!! If I had wanted a "dainty" non functional shoe then I would've picked one of the numerous homogenous others out there! The old version of Keens' baby doll shoe was extremely functional, unique in styling and attractive!! I really don't like the new version of shoe and I'm tempted to send it back. I wore my old ones everyday for the past 4 years before breaking down to buy another pair. I received numerous compliments on them and women approached me all of the time to inquire about where I bought them. If only I had known that they would change a good thing, I'd a bought a number of the old version. Now I will not get anymore of them unless they bring the other version back or do custom orders. I have narrow feet, but the new ones look awful!! Please get this to their design team, what were they on when they came up with the new pinched in sawed off version of the original baby doll Keens? Who does one talk to get back the "duck toe" box style of Keens??
