Customer Reviews KEEN Charleston Mary Jane

Runs short - I wish this shoe fit! It was really comfortable when I put it on--with the exception that my big toe was squished on my "big" foot. I bought an 11, and wear between a 10 1/2 and 11--often, 11's are big for me. So, this felt like a 10. Also, the black had red stitching--something I didn't notice before buying...just something to be aware of.

Good with thick socks - I like these shoes very much. They are my first Keens. However, they are sloppy big on my narrow heels, causing uncomfortable rubbing unless I wear thick socks. (I am a long slender built person with a size 11 foot; it has been hard until now to find women's Keens that were long enough!) I will experiment with adding heel cushions, but am not hopeful this will be sufficient to wear the shoes without socks, which I would be delighted to be able to do. Other than that, they are great! Very light weight, and cute.

Like the look, is comfortable, but a bit more narrow - I like the look of the Charleston and bought it in a size 7. I also recently bought the Calistoga in a 6 1/2 and it fits fine with a nice wide toe area. I am able to fit my orthotic in both, but the Charleston seems a bit more narrow so not quite a comfortable… but very nice.

Another Great Keen Shoe... I have another pair of Keen shoes similar to this- Keen Carmel- Wore them for the first time in San Fran and they were awesome. I love them. I bought the Charleston for a trip to Cape Cod and wore them a few times before I left...they gave me blisters. I rectified this by wearing the socks that are small slip ons that are not seen in these types of shoes. Now they are completely fine. They can be worn sightseeing, light hiking, shopping or out to dinner! I am also getting the Chamoiux and the Palermo for Winter.

These shoes are so cute and they actually came in my size, which is 12. Keens usually run small for me as my usual size is 11. There's a lot of room for the toes and they are great with pants as well as casual skirts. I've already received loads of compliments.

Fit is good, but the black dye came off on my feet. Called the company with concerns over the dye and they have had other calls. Suggested replacing the insole with OTC ones.

This shoe is a bit short. I would agree with quite a few reviewers here. I should have taken the advice that it runs short and doesn't have the "Keen" feel. I was hoping they were wrong. I don't generally find that shoes reviewed as small are small, but these are small. My toe nails would catch on the seam (and I keep them trimmed very short). I didn't find any difficulty with width, although I could tell that it would rub uncomfortably across toe bridge, but is that because it is short? Who knows? It is a cute shoe, but a no go for comfort. I would continue to recommend Keen, but not this style.

OUCH! I want to love these shoes. They are very lightweight, look to be functional, but are so uncomfortable. The toe and heel are very stiff and need to be broken in. Order up in size.

Blisters!!!! I'm an avid Keen wearer and I'm completely disappointed with this style. I got horrible blisters and the keen quality of a comfortable sole is what I was looking for and did not find it. They also seemed very narrow.

At least 1/2 size too small - Liked the Rust color, but shoes were waaay too small. I love the Sydney II and ordered the same size. Will re-order a larger size, I hope they work!
