Customer Reviews KEEN Paulina Mary Jane

I love them. They\'re cute enough to wear with a skirt, casual enough to wear for a jog, and insanely comfortable.

These shoes are very comfortable, and the foot bed is cooler than the ones on Keen fabric sandals so your feet don't get overheated. The shoes look great with skirts, dresses, and crop pants.

Couldn't be more happy! These shoes are great and meet every expectation I had. Keen is very dependable and the Mary Jane style rocks. Comfy for walking too!

I love these so much I bought them in 3 different colors. They are the most comfortable, cute shoes ever! Perfect for walking, look great with slacks or jeans or capris.

I love these shoes! I have both the black and the madder brown. I have foot and spinal problems and these are so comfortable for me . I wear them almost every day and wish there was another color!

Fairly comfortable-- just a bit tight around the edge of the front toe area. Breathable and lightweight.

The perfect little black shoe that goes well with capris, jeans, shorts, and skirts. Can be dressed up or down and keeps feet happy all day long due to excellent support and comfort. I love the fact that my toes are covered and warm in the cool Maine spring.

The shoes are so ugly they are cute. This color is so neutral that it goes with everything and is not showy. Very comfortable and easy to wear - I especially like the ankle strap and vented toe box. They are my go-to shoes and are great for my casual lifestyle.

Just got them today. Put them on and immediately loved them! They feel like I've had them forever. So comfortable with no break in necessary. I think I could walk in these for miles and not blister. When does that ever happen with new shoes?

First-time wearing was 10 hours at work, lots of walking, with no problems at all. No break-in period, no rubbing. I have a narrow foot, but the strap secures the foot in the shoe and keeps it from slipping to the end. The madder brown is orange and I think it works for spring through fall (and winter if you live in a warm tropical climate as I do).

I have another pair of Keens, and expected these to be on the heavy side, but they are nice and light-weight. The shoe does not cover as much of my foot as I thought it would, but they look great. If you are looking for a sturdy-but-attractive casual sandal, these are perfect. They seem to run a LITTLE on the large side, but in my experience, that's how Keens are. I ordered my normal size, but they are not so big that I would go a half-size down. I am flat-footed, so the arch support is sufficient for me, but if you have high arches, I would only rate it at moderate.

Loved the shoe but it runs at least a size too big. I am usually an 8.5 or 9 and went with the 9. So huge I sent it to my sister who wears an ample 9.5 She loves them.

Love this shoe, but wish it had a bit more arch support. The strap rubbed a blister after I walked all day long without wearing socks. Have not had a problem with normal daily wear, just when I was on vacation and walked and walked.

These shoes are comfortable even though they seem too long. I\'m a preschool teacher, and they work out great on the hot playground days. The black ones do leave your feet black for the first few weeks but then stop.

I bought these mainly to wear with skirts. These were super comfy right out of the box. However, I don't think they're the ideal proportion for my foot shape. I have a narrow heel and wide forefoot. With these shoes, I have to wear the ankle strap at its tightest position to minimize slippage on the back strap (but a bit happens anyway), and I had some toe numbness on the first few wearings from the tight forefoot - until I'd walked in them quite a bit and the leather stretched some. Because of my wide forefoot, I took these in a 6 1/2 because I doubt I could've even fit my foot into a size 6. However, my toes don't quite go to the ends of the 6 1/2. If you do have wide feet, you'll probably want to order true-to-size. Minor quibbles aside, I do love these shoes and wear them weekly. They're great, versatile, casual shoes.

This shoe is a more narrow last than other Keens. They are great for those of us with narrow feet. I usually wear a 10.5 in the narrower Keens (like Whisper and the old Amsterdam Mary Jane), but these in 10.5 were way to big. Like the style but in black they do have a terrible chemical smell. I figure that will go away (sure hope so) because these are very comfortable. The leather is rather stiff but the supportive sole feels great.

This is the first pair of Keen's I've kept. I've tried others but in my size (Women's 12B) most sales people direct me to men's Keen size 10D. Not so much. I'm a woman, right down to my feet and a D width shoe on my B width feet is an invitation to a twisted ankle. In these women's Keens, I went on a 5 mile walk on the first day and woke with happy feet the next day. I never made it off of the living room carpet in the men's Keens. So, many thanks to Zappos for wresting a women's size 12B out of Keen. I don't know what magic you used but I beg you to use it again. These are crazy comfortable shoes that fit very well. The color (Madder Brown) is ...well, bad is the best term I can use. Still, given the fit I'm willing to live with a less than attractive color. Zappos, please plead my case with Keen! Women's feet are different from men's feet, even women who wear a size 12 shoe. Encourage Keen to provide us more options and better colors. For the record, Zappos service was stellar, as always.

Update to my previous review, I wore these on a 3-week trip to Europe and loved the comfort and style. The black dye of the black leather came off on my feet each day (looks awful and doesn't wash off easily), even after three weeks of daily wear. Yuck! Note that this style runs narrow and long (I ordered one whole size down from my usual Keen size).

As a loyal fan of Keen shoes (7 pair so far), I really wanted to love these shoes, and I actually do except for one major flaw. The dye wears off on my feet-even after multiple wearings. My feet (and toenails) are black when I take them off-rather gross! Every time. Not a great shoe for when you want to kick off your shoes around others! Fortunately, the nice folks at Zappos customer service helped me out with a refund. If Keen would fix that problem I could recommend them wholeheartedly as they are very comfortable and less clunky looking than most Keen's.

I love Keen shoes, but these are nothing like the other 3 pairs that I wear. They do not have good arch support and the soles are very firm, not cushioning like my other Keens. I was very disappointed because I thought they would be the perfect crossover shoe between a sport sandal and a dress sandal.

These shoes ran really tight. I have a similar pair of Keen's - the "Carmel" - which had plenty of give and will stretch to your foot. This pair has too many restricting seams and runs shallow and narrow. Not for my feet unfortunately.

These shoes looked a little too clodhopper-ish for me, but I was willing to overlook that for the support I have come to associate with Keen shoes. But I am returning these because the toe box is very flat. It was hard to get my toes into it and I tried it on in 3 different sizes. I could have tons of room on the sides of my feet, but the top part of these shoes was cutting into me. And I don't have unusually bulky feet.
