Customer Reviews KEEN Sydney II

Great walking shoe - The Sydney II not only looks cute, it serves its function perfectly. Worn for walking long distances, shopping, work, just about anything. Like the wide fit at the toes. For a middle-aged woman who abused her feet for years, this shoe is a lifesaver!

Love at first fit. These shoes are remarkably comfortable. I have a narrow foot and they are a little wide, but with a pair of socks they are perfect. The service from Zappos was fabulous - I received them within two day delivery. Would definitely purchase another pair. I will get all my shoes from Zappos from now on - they truly have customer service.

Great shoes! These are very comfortable and cool looking as well! They are even cuter than the picture. I ordered the blue and have had many compliments. While there is decent arch support, I used my orthotics and my feet felt better. Very lightweight, good for traveling. I plan to get another pair in a different color.

Shoes fit pretty well, a little stiff to start, but the strap has a bit of padding which helps w/ break-in. The heel is deep enough to comfortably accommodate my orthotics which really helps with support. I would buy these in another color.

Wanted to love this shoe . . . Zappos' service is perfect - ordered last night, had the shoes when I came home from work today! Zappos consistently provides excellent service. Keens are usually excellent too, but this pair just didn't feel good. I put them on, sat at my desk, and my toes promptly went to sleep - the arch strap and toe box pressed down, and the edges of the shoe rubbed on the inside top edge at the top of my foot, and at the heel. For the past three years I've only worn Keen, and never had a complaint, but the last two pairs I've bought (Calistoga sandal, and Sydney II) have harder, less comfortable foot beds and less arch support than the Carmel, Bali, Monterey, St. Bart, and Saratoga. I'm returning the Sydney and going to try a different Keen style.

I Love My Shoes! This is my third pair of Keens. I liked the look of the Sydney II shoe on the website and like them even more on my feet. They're comfortable and just this side of funky that I get lots of compliments when I wear them. I'll probably look for Keens #4 pretty soon. I'm hooked on them. PS: The Zappos staff is awesome!

Favorite shoe - I ordered my first pair of the Sydney in a green last fall. They arrived the day before going to Disney, walked for 5 days, no socks, no blisters just pure comfort. I am afraid they will be discontinued so I just ordered 4 other colors! However the Barley color is just slightly different, toe cap comes up a little higher and they felt very different even the arch was in the wrong place so those went back. Too bad great color.

Compliments for my feet! I have had so many compliments on these shoes that I bought a second pair. Thank goodness for Keen... at last a shoe manufacturer that makes shoes for wide feet; all the styles I have had have been comfortable. The other feature that is really great is that they wear so well. I have several pairs of different styles and have worn most of them for around two years and they look like new!

Sydney - I bought my second pair of Keen's Sydney II a few weeks ago. I adored my first pair and literally wore them out. The new pair looks great, but as is always the case with me, my old and worn out pair seems so much better. I like the more rounded look of the first pair. Probably no one but me notices the difference- but I do and frankly that's what matters. I remember with my first pair (bought in fall of 2005) I put them on and I wore them everywhere. I purchased them for a trip to Asia and I wore them walking everywhere. There was no breaking them in- they fit and looked great instantly. The second pair looks the same, but the shape is slightly different and frankly it is not as comfortable. I don't have a particularly wide foot, so I am not sure what the story is- nonetheless, they are my preferred shoe- but I don't understand why shoe companies change and discontinue quality shoes. I am a consumer that does not require constant fashion updates and change. I wish I had the financial resources to buy ten pairs of a shoe that I like, to avoid the inevitability of it being changed or worse unavailable when I am ready to replace it. I am resigned but wish shoe companies thought about consumers like me.

Very satisfied! Great to walk in. No size issues when I got them out of the box and tried them on. I went with my true size for this style of shoe (10.5) and they fit perfectly. They are adequate for my wide feet. I got a pair in this unique bluish color (which I adore) and also a pair in black. Very nice!

Cute and Comfortable Shoes - I bought these for something "dressier" than my Keen Amsterdam shoes. I had to buy a half-size larger than I normally purchase in Keen and Ecco shoes. So the first pair had to be returned. The shoe is comfortable and cute, but does not fit as well as the Amsterdam.

Excited about Zappos - Just discovered Zappos last night and was very happy to find they carry this style of Keens. I have 4 different Keens, one of which is a Sydney II that is so beat up and faded I use it only for gardening. They are so sturdy they will never die! But of all my Keens these Sidney’s have always been the most comfortable. The problem is that stores no longer carry them so I thought I would never have a new pair. That's why I was so excited to find them on Zappos! I wear a 9 W in most shoes, have lots of problems with one foot, and need to wear orthotics most of the time, so I ordered a US 9 and they fit great with or without the orthotics. Now I want them in another color too... I ordered them at 8 last night and they were here this evening at 7. Best service I've ever seen.

Keen On Keens - This was my first pair of Keens and I’m really happy with them. I’m used to a little more arch support, but they are still really comfortable and sturdy while being really flexible, too. They are a little tricky to slip on and off easily, but I’m too lazy to do the buckle, so I do it anyway. Overall, I would highly recommend them.

Keen shoes - These are very comfortable. I have them in green so was happy to see a blue pair. I have been wearing the green ones for almost 2 years now. They are still in great shape and worth every penny.

Comfy Shoes - These are very comfortable and great for walking. I have them in two colors and prefer the brown, but these are nice too.

Keen Sydney II - Love everything about these shoes except that the strap can only be tightened so far and then the little pad on the strap gets in the way. I plan to wear these a long time and am worried they will look sloppy. Other than that, great shoe!

Nice but - Shoe looked great and strap adjusted for my narrow foot but not enough toe room for my oddly shaped feet. Appreciate Zappos great customer service.

Comfort straight from the box! These shoes are like a dream come true! I have two pairs of Keen sandals (Newport’s) and a pair of Presidios. We are going to Europe in three days and will be walking at least 12 hours a day. I don't do shorts-I wear skirts in warm weather-so I needed something that is good for walking and for comfort that looks good with a skirt. The kicker is that I have to wear a heel lift. It is small-maybe 4 mm-but it means I can't wear backless shoes. I first ordered the Calistoga because they are so cute, but they hit the top of my foot funny and were quite painful. The people who reviewed the Calistoga who had the same problem recommended the Sydney so I gave it a shot and I am so happy I did. They arrived in less than 24 hours and as soon as I put them on they were comfortable. They feel good on my feet and are supportive, and I can fit my heel lift under the footbed. My feet are wide and they accommodate that as well. I can wear a 7 or a 7.5 depending on width, and the 7.5 in the Sydney fits perfectly. Glad I ordered the larger size as people recommended. The one issue I have with these is that the leather is a tad tight across the top of my foot. It is not uncomfortable and certainly not painful-just noticeable. And I know that in a couple days they will have stretched a bit and will be totally comfortable. I am very pleased with these shoes!

Keen Sydney II - I just ordered this shoe in brown for my trip to France. I love how comfortable they are. I can walk around in them all day no problem. They are also a cute yet stylish shoe. I wouldn't wear them with anything really dressy, but they're a step up in style from a walking tennis shoe.

Very cute and comfy - I am big fan of Keens in general, and have several different pairs and styles. I particularly like the Calistoga maryjane, so I was excited to try the Sydney. I ordered them a half size bigger since several reviews said they may run small, but I had to return them for my normal size 8 since the 8.5 turned out to be too big. I love them now, they are cute, comfy, and you can wear them with just about any thing. And after I took out the original insoles and put in my Superfeet they were even greater. I am considering ordering another in another color.

Great walking shoe! I don't like sneakers...This shoe is a great substitute! I have a small narrow foot (size 5) and these shoes fit perfectly. I have the brown, but plan to order another color soon.

Walking all over the globe without foot pain. Finally I found this good looking, comfortable shoe for traveling and walking. I have been searching for years!

The best shoes! Comfortable, stylish, virtually care-free--- and they offer a lot of support. They are the best!

Cute and sporty - These are some super cute shoes! They are really light weight and comfy. I also own a pair of Ventura's by Keen and find them just as comfortable to stand in all day. I can wear my Sydney II's with thick or thin socks without pinching.

Love this shoe - Very comfy and great with dresses for work. Have to stand most of the time at work and these are great. Got them in brown want them in black so had to buy from another vender and cannot wait for the black ones to arrive. Very cute style.
