Great fit, support and very comfortable. I love the tread for muddin\' or snow/ice.\r\n\r\nOnly issue is a minor creak when new. It went away with wear on the asphalt.

Excellent construction, comfortable, easy on easy off, good treads that don't trap mud. They run a little small. I'm a 13.5 (which no one makes), so 14 fits me perfectly. Distinctive, slightly funky Keen style (which I like). Look and feel like they will last forever. Great!

These shoes are awesome. I love them. They’re comfortable, offer good support, have a rugged design, and best of all don’t require tying and untying. One thing I noticed is that they stretch out a bit as you wear them. Initially, I thought they might be a little too tight in the size I purchased, but they broke in nicely. I think it’s part of the package when you buy a slip-on style shoe... I’ve only owned them for a few weeks, so I don’t have a comment on reliability or life cycle. I’d recommend them and I'd probably buy another pair.

I picked up a pr of these from Zappos this past winter, and they are wonderful. I also own a pr of Keen sandals [which I love} and thought I'd give these a try as they looked perfect for slippery winter footing along with easy slip-on style. They were a bit tight at first but after a few long walks have become very comfortable. The construction is rugged and it appears they will hold-up for many years. Well worth the price.

Love this shoe -
I love this shoe. It has survived a brutal Chicago winter in style. I only gave a 4 for looks because my wife thinks they are ugly. Personally I like the look. Comfort is awesome, and they make a great everyday winter/bad weather shoe. Zappos is awesome. Their customer service is better than ANY company I have EVER dealt with. Buy them!

Love Them -
Very comfortable shoe, good grip and very warm. Have worn them for walks in 30 below temps and my feet were very comfy and warm. They go on easy without having to bend over. I had to go up a half size. This is my first "winter shoe" and I love them.

Once I got the correct size shoe, it is the most comfortable pair of shoes I’ve ever worn. The customer service at Zappos is the best I’ve ever encountered. I’ve never dealt with friendlier or more accommodating people anywhere.

Great winter shoe -
I am very happy with my shoe. It fit perfectly and has strong arch support. It looks great and has a very aggressive sole. I definitely would buy this shoe again.
Zappos service was fast and easy.

Can't go wrong with Keen for fit and comfort -
Bought these for my husband to replace his Red Wing Romeo slippers. He wears those outside, so thought I'd get something with more support and less slipper-like. He absolutely loves them for the fit and comfort, right out of the box. He usually wears a 10-1/2 and I bought 11, and they fit great. Problem is, Keens are ugly, but once you go Keen, you can never go back. I have five pair and they are my default shoe.

I've loved all the Keens I own so have not branched out into other comfort shoes.

Another Great Keen -
I am now the proud owner of three pairs of Keens. I have a hiking shoe "Bend", winter boot "Targhee II" and now the Whistler. They are in my mind true to fit...meaning I wear the same size in Keen as I do in all of my shoes...they are a snug fit forming to my feet as they should be. If they feel snug give them a chance to break in and you'll love them. Keen is an excellent shoe.

Me likey -
Pretty cool looking. Very comfortable. Kind of a roomy fit with thin socks which I'm sure was no accident. Easy to kick on but they feel very secure when on. Some other athletic slip-ons turn me off because they're a struggle to pull on.

Excellent Winter Slip-On -
I have been looking for a comfortable slip-on shoe for winter dog walks and relaxing after work outings. This shoe is it!! The shoe has great tracking on snow and ice and is tall enough that snow doesn't come in over the top, 3" or less, if more than that you're on your own.
The shoe also is nice looking that it goes just as well with jeans and it does khakis.
In all these are super comfortable, great traction, and warm for snowy walks and dashing around in the slushy conditions of winter.

Things to keep in mind to "Whistler" a happy tune -
I think I was one of the first people to find Keen's. And I've converted a lot of my friends into wearing them. I prefer the Providence shoe. As I am always on my feet, they are a joy to wear. The Whistler was fantastic too. Just do yourself a favor-get a half size smaller than you would normally wear. When they break in at your normal size (I have a wide foot) they will be slightly too big. Otherwise they will be very comfortable. I have found Keen's to last about 6 months, before I need new ones.

Awesome Keens for my Hard Working Hubbie!!!
These shoes are so wonderful for my husband to work in He is a nurse and on his feet a lot during the day so these shoes are the only ones he wears now Please make this style for women though because I want a pair for myself. Remember to always buy at least a whole size bigger than you usually wear!

Awesome fit as with all Keens -
These shoes feel great and are very easy to slip on and off. They're made for cold weather, so they're warmer than normal.

Keen Whistler -
I bought 2 pairs of these shoes, one for my Dad, the other for my husband. They both said that they were the most comfortable shoes that they have ever worn. Although, my dad said they are ugly, he will wear them all the time because they are so comfortable!!

love zappos.com -
I am very pleased with zappos.com. I ordered this shoe on December 23 and received them on the 24th. As a bonus the shoes are perfect in quality. The only thing that I would suggest is to pay close attention to the size that you order. I have wide feet and usually order a size larger to accommodate for the width. However, these shoes are wide enough that I could had ordered a half or even a full size smaller. I do think that this is not really a problem because Zappos.com is fabulous with returns. Otherwise, love the shoes, love zappos.com and love the prompt service provided.

Zappos is awesome; three different pair of Keens to get the right fit. Zappos staff were the best on the returns. Warm comfortable shoe.

Disappointing -
As a Keen fan, I was very disappointed to have to return these shoes. I bought them for my boyfriend and he initially thought they were comfortable, however, upon longer wear they began to rub the back of his heels. We had already exchanged them once for a larger size, so it wasn't due to an ill-fit. I was surprised, since the other reviews were quite positive.

Awesome!
Very, very, good shoe! They are super comfortable. The first day I wore these I was outside in 30 degree weather doing cart runs for 8 hours the day before Thanksgiving. My feet did not hurt one bit and they were warm and dry! I very much recommend them.

Keens are awesome!
I got these as a present for my Dad at the beginning of October and I don't think he's taken them off since we gave them to him. I got them for him because I have two pairs of Keens for myself and I love them. They're good shoes for people who are active, or who are working outdoors a lot. I even wear mine to work and I'm on my feet all day. The price on them is high no matter where you buy them, but they are well worth every penny.

Forget Your Old Work Boots -
I work as a carpenter in a large facility. When I'm not on the bench or a machine on the concrete shop floor, I'm running around on a combination of wood, tile or carpeted floors in the offices throughout the buildings. Although I have a good pair of "work boots" in my locker, I hate wearing them, so I try to find shoes that are comfortable, durable and good looking.
Well, I hit the jackpot with the Keen Whistler.
As soon as they arrived (the day after I ordered them!) and I put them on, I knew I had picked the right shoe. They fit perfectly and are probably the most comfortable work shoe I have ever worn. You won't need a break in period and they'll take forever to wear out.
I like these shoes so much that I'm ordering a second pair for home.

Comfortable loafer with durability -
I continue to be pleased with the wide toe box of Keen shoes. Again, with this shoe, however, size up by 1/2 size. This seems to be a trend of Keen shoes. I got the higher size just in case and guessed right. It is a nice durable shoe that will see plenty of the elements this winter.
I'd also recommend:
Clark's Privo black loafer that is lighter and less durable.

Keen's Whistler (Brown) -
Overall, I'm very happy with the look and feel of these shoes and they are every bit as functional and comfortable as I thought they'd be. I have the brown pair and I like everything about the look with the exception that I think the sole is just a little wider at the ball of the foot just before the toes needs to be, and it might look better if you could take off a total of a 1/4 to a 1/2 inch from the width of the base. Otherwise, they're awesome!
