Customer Reviews KEEN Coronado

I almost returned these due to the stiffness. Glad I gave them a chance. I love these shoes more each time I wear them! They are very stiff at first, but you can kind of break them in by bending and mushing them with your hands. They get more comfortable with each wear, and neither my feet nor legs get fatigued in them. They have a really good cushioned insole and they are good quality without being ridiculous in price as is the case with some other hip brands. They do run true to size. Also, I noticed some people wrote that they had no arch support. They do. you can not see a dramatic arch in the shoe when looking at it, but when they are on your feet, you can feel it. Just bought another pair in black. You will be pleasantly surprised.

I REALLY love these shoes, and would give five stars but for the following: The heel was a bit stiff, took some searing to get it soft enough that I could wear them all day without blistering (even through socks). Also, though I've only had them for a few months, and only wear them a couple times a week, the canvas upper is starting to tear away from the toe rubber, leaving a little hole. I'm unhappy about this and will contact either Keen or Zappos about a possible repair or replacement. But these are super cute, super comfortable shoes.

Size 5 seemed normal. Toes rubbed against rubber front. Good color and style. Width good. Has better support than Vans or Converse. Sorry Merrell Rant won out.

These shoes are cute, but they are not made for slender feet. They cut my inner ankle a bit making them uncomfortable in that spot. The souls are nice to walk on though.

I own a red pair, a black pair, and a tan pair of these Keen Coronados and they are awesome! So comfortable! And I love the look. These blue ones are just as cute, but I've ordered two pairs and both pairs have a strange lift/bubble on the outer toe insole edge under the middle to pinkie toes. I thought it was a fluke in the first pair, but the second pair has the same bubble in the insole. It's really strange. Almost uncomfortable. Not sure if the bubble will soften or mellow with repetitive wear, but it's almost too uncomfortable to want to try to get to that point. Very saddened by this strange issue that seems to be unique to these blue pairs.

I ordered several brands of flat sneakers looking for something more comfortable than my Converse. These won. They are a bit stiff and they are heavy like chucks but they have a lot of cushion and bounce and a lot more toe room. The insole is removable but I don't think I'll be replacing it. I got the brindle and like the color a lot.

Like all Keens, these are a bit oversized in the toe, which I don't mind so much. These kicks are the closest thing I can find to the old Simple sneaks (Simple bought by Sanuk) so gotta go with what is available unfortunately. The fabric is very pretty on the Dress Blue Print color (turquoise, gray, navy, burgundy = pretty!) and has so far held up to the week in my lab. Two pairs of laces arrive with the shoes, burgundy and black. The white toes on Keen Coronados are always a bit too white, and as there is a lot of toe on these shoes Ijust immediately solve that problem by scuffing up the white up so it isn't so stark a contrast to the dark fabric. I wear orthotics so my feet slide around a bit more in these than the designer meant but I would say they run true to size. The insoles that come with these shoes seem very cushy and rather heavenly so I would think they would be very comfortable for non-orthotic wearers. Four Stars overall because of the white toe. 3½ stars for comfort as the soles are pretty stiff and hard when worn with orthotics (again, with the actual insoles comfort might rock). Four Stars for style because of the white toe. Couldn't they have made it cream colored?

I bought these shoes to replace my converse sneakers. My converse seem to fall apart after about a year, so I decided to try a different brand to see if they held up better. I've had my keens for about a week, and so far they feel much sturdier than the converse. They are a little stiff, particularly in the back heel area, but I'm hoping that they just need to be broken in a bit. The laces that came with the shoes are also incredibly short- I can't quite make a full bow knot with them. Other than those issues, I love these shoes so far. The footbed is very comfortable and they look great.

I love these. Plenty of room in the toes. Sole is fine, but I will probably put in some arch support. Super cute.

I love these shoes. I feel the same as others, they could use some heel support. But I still wear them a lot! How about some new colors? Like a dull, worn red or a sand washed blue.

Love Keens. And I love these. The ultimate summer casual shoe! The color is neutral and goes with a lot of different clothing.

When I tried these on, it felt like my feet were swimming in them, especially after swapping the insole for the more supportive ones I use. The edges also dug into my ankle bones. Keen shoes are usually pretty wide, which contributed to the poor fit. They're cute, but the fit is not for me.

Very comfortable shoes for wide-ish feet. Heel is a little stiff, but not bothersome. I ordered a half-size larger than I normally wear.

They are super cute, but are kindof bulky. I felt like to two was really large and not what I was looking for.

Round through the toes; wider fit. Sole is sturdy, kind of flat but comfortable. Fabric is nice. Came with two pair of laces; the second was a neutral color matching the fabric.

These are cute shoes that are definitely trying to copy the style of Converse Chuck Taylor low tops. They have nearly all the same attributes: thick rubber sole, cotton laces with metal rings holes, canvas material, etc. The only difference I can tell is that the insole may be a bit more padded and the tip of the toe has a shorter rubberized end so the tip of my toe touches the canvas instead of the rubber end. This makes it more comfortable than the Chuck Taylors for me. They are Vegan, which doesn't matter to me but may matter to some people. The brindle/port royale color is a really nice gray/off-white color and the off-white shoelaces match nicely. It also comes with a darker set of shoelaces to match the gray. There is no significant arch support in these, but that didn't matter to me because I could remove the insole the shoe came with and put my custom orthotics inside comfortably. These shoes were wide enough in the toe box to accommodate my bunions which was great. However, the heel of these shoes is low and hit my heel in an uncomfortable mid-heel spot and it rubs there as I walk. I definitely would never want to wear these without socks and most likely not with socks either. I'm sending them back.

Love them so far. Wish they had a but more arch support. My husband is bummed he wants a pair but the men's ones look nothing as cool as these.

Read all the reviews, then read them again...wasn't sure what to think. Went ahead and ordered them because they're so darn cute/reasonably priced. Out of the box and onto the foot? Initial dismay: zero support, like standing barefoot on concrete; also, razor sharp canvas. and very hard/no flexibility. But, adorable on! A great looking fun sneaker! Adjustments: get yourself some orthotics or similar Dr. Scholl-type inserts that support your arches, wear shorty socks, and hope the hard construction means long life. I've worn them every day for 2 weeks and like them more and more.

Keeping these, but it's a shame they are so much narrower than they used to make this model. I have older Coronados that are much wider and more comfortable. Wish they had just a little more arch support.

Very cute shoes. I really wanted a pair of vegan shoes that I didn't find ugly so in that aspect I am very happy. Wearing socks is a must if you don't want to get blisters. Like others have said, the back is very hard and will rub you raw. So just wear socks!

I really wanted to wear this shoe. I have three other pairs of Keen Coranados, and they all fit wonderfully. This shoe is a little narrower. The rubber sole isn't as wide as the others I own, making the entire shoe narrower. And there's no way to stretch them because of the rubber toe cap. I love this shoe, but it's just too tight to wear. Will try a half size larger to see if that helps.

I wear prescription orthotics so I absolutely LOVE Keen shoes. I bought what were similar sneakers to these about 8 years or so ago. Those fit perfectly. These were a half size too big. Exchanging them as we speak.
