I cannot say enough about these super cute Keens and the great Zappos service. These were my first shoes that I ordered, so I did not know what to expect. I was surprised and delighted with the quickness and that they fit. Thanks!

My first impression when I tried these on was that they looked like clown shoes and were way too tight to be comfortable. However, after only a few wears, I am in love with them! Do not wear them with skinny jeans, they are best with long boot leg type of pants, or the wide toe box does resemble something from Bozo's closet. Thank goodness they do not come in red. I knew from other reviews that it is a fight to get them on, and that is no lie. When you eventually manage to squeeze your feet in, wear them around the house a couple of times. Each time they feel better and shape to your feet. After just a few trial wears at home, I wore them on my busy 12 hour shift, and they were wonderful on my feet. The snugness makes for good support and keeps the heel from slipping when you walk, or even run, as my job sometimes requires. The arch support was great and there is enough cushion to have a little bounce in your step. Also, nurses will appreciate the waterproof properties of these shoes. You know what I mean.

I adore these shoes. They are so comfortable and so cute with a pair of jeans or corduroys. Great details. Lots of room for my toes, excellent arch support. My feet don't hurt at all after wearing these all day at work.

I love these shoes. They were comfortable after just a few hours of break-in, and they are supportive and well made.

I listened to reviews and chose my actual size of 8 and it fit perfect. Although as mentioned it is a tight squeeze to get into the opening. Once in its a roomy toe box and the narrow opening has no effect. You'll figure out what technique works for you to get the foot in without pulling the sock tight against your toes. Would buy again in another color. I work on my feet all day and its a nice switch from a true clog.

Originally order a 7.5 but was too big. Got the size 7 yesterday an love them! Fit great, arch support is fabulous, and they are quite cute. Will know more as break them in. As others have stated, getting them on initially was a little tight but not bad. Also, my experience ordering through Zappos was very positive. The reorder was only 1 day and got the shoes earlier than expected.

I love these. I have a narrower foot, and I think that's why these work for me. I'm tempted to return for a half size bigger, but the length feel good and in the event that they may give over time, I don't want them loose. I'm just not sure I can wear socks with them. Leaving for Europe soon, and they really seem to be exactly what I'm looking for, style, comfort and walkability. Fingers crossed!

I love Keen shoe and wear a 7.5 in all other Keens that I have. However, the Kaci slip on seems too large...way to loose at the heel. Returning the 7.5 and ordering a 7 to see if that makes a difference. This is my first time ordering through Zappos so hoping this is an easy process.

I love Keen's! The shoes fit great the moment I put them on. I am an RN and am on my feet 12 hours straight. I get the support I need and the durability. I am still wearing other Keen's I bought 7 years ago! My toes don't feel scrunched in these shoes. Great shoe!

I had written a doubtful review the day my shoes arrived, but I have to amend it. These shoes are fantastic. I love the way they look and feel. They are sturdy but not stiff, great for navigating New York sidewalks. I have barely (and reluctantly) worn any other shoe since the day I put these on and walked outside. I had some concerns about the tight instep vs. roominess at the toe, but wearing them has resolved these issues.

These shoes were my salvation in Europe. Keen's usual extra width just in the ball part of the foot works great for my weird feet. My orthotics worked great in them. Unfortunately, the elastic on them only lasted a couple of months. It's a shame because it's a great shoe! I feel sad returning them.

I love how they fit on my extra wide feet! I even was able to buy them in my real size, 8.5. I usually have to buy a size 9 because my feet are so wide. They are a bit snug to slide your foot into, but I suppose thats what a shoe horn is for! If you treat the leather with a salve like I did, they turn a beautiful deep brown. I like that color better.

I'm an ER nurse and on my feet a lot at work so I purchased these at the recommendation of a coworker. Very comfortable shoe although I would use the term slip-on loosely. I have to jam my feet into them. But once on they are on it's like walking on a cloud. Ordered them a half size smaller than my usual size as they seem to run large.

The Keen Kaci has been my "go to" shoe for a couple of years now. It's easy to wear although as one person here noted it doesn't exactly "slip on" your foot! The old style of this shoe was a lot "sloppier" and did in fact slip on, but it also lost its shape a lot faster than the new style shoe.
I only wish this shoe had better arch support and cushioning on the ball of the foot. I sometimes get shin splints when I walk fast and wear this shoe, and I think it's because of the lack of arch support and cushioning in the design. And my heel is loose, but I get used to that and ignore it and it works out pretty fine.
Overall I think the Keen Kaci is a very good shoe especially if you are not prone to getting problems like shin splints; I don't know how it is for other foot problems. It's a sturdy shoe and lasts a long, long time. I would recommend this shoe for most people who need a wider type shoe and want a slip on (that you actually have to wrestle on and off a bit!). I've found I have to buy almost all Keen's a half size larger; I usually wear an 8 and I have to get an 8.5 in Keen's. These aren't the most beautiful shoes around, but they are good for basic comfort and walking and fit a lot of different situations, so I say give them a try.

Keen is my reliable brand for a cute utility shoe. These do not disappoint but they are a bit heavy.

Once you get these shoes on they are very comfortable and nice looking. However, there is not enough clearance to get your foot in without a shoehorn. A design flaw, but I got a shoehorn and wear them anyway.

Wonderful shoe. Extremely comfortable. I tried these on in a store and they were too small in my size. They fit in a half size larger. I bought them from Zappos in 2 sizes - the size that should fit and the half size bigger. The normal shoe was too small. It took all I had to put my foot into it. The half size the left shoe was awesome, the right still too big. I put in an orthotic and it made it better. A pain in the rear for the price. Thank god they were on sale. I love them though - extremely comfortable. Returning the other pair was so quick it was wonderful. No hassle.

These are the best shoes-IF you can get them on! Although they are called a slip-on they took me several minutes to force each foot into it's shoe, and I needed to wear thin dress socks. Once on, however, they are amazing! All the comfort of a Keen hiking shoe with enough style to wear them to church :). I normally wear a 10, and ordered a 10.5. It is a good thing because I don't think I would've been able to shove my foot into a 10. I would recommend a shoe horn with these. Overall they have great support and style and are worth the effort to get them on.

I love my Keen Venice sandals and wore them every day from spring until November (in NYC) when it just got too cold, even with socks. They were the only shoes that don't hurt my bunions. The Kaci Slip On is now my daily winter shoe and it is very good. The insole is removable so my orthotic fits right in and the toe area is wide so no problems with my bunion. My only issues are that they look a little clunky and if I wear them a lot, they slightly irritate the area on top of the toes where the shoe bends when you walk. (I should point out that I walk a lot - at least 30 minutes of city walking every day.) Regarding sizing, I wear a half size up in the Keen sandals but my regular size in the Kaci Slip On. Like other reviewers, I also had trouble slipping the shoe on the first few times without a shoe horn but after a few days I stopped having that problem. Overall this is a solid, comfortable shoe for walking and I would recommend it.

These are perfect for what I bought them for. I wanted shoes that I could wear if it is raining, slushy or snowy. They have a great tread/traction and they are waterproof, comfortable and warm. I have fairly narrow feet and they are wide, so they are not the most flattering shoes. They can be hard to get on since they do not have a zipper or ties, but they are just what I wanted for walking outside in bad weather.

These are extremely comfortable! A little tight to get on at first, but they loosened up nicely and now are the most comfortable shoes/boots I have.

Comfortable shoe and fairly stylish which is what I was looking for. This absolutely runs 1/2 size large. I ordered a 7 1/2 and had to return and get a 7.

I needed to replace insole so my heel would sit a bit deeper to stop the pistoning action at the heel. This was easily done with a boiled wool flat insole. After that, a perfect work shoe for being on my feet. I agree with another reviewer that there was something uncomfortable with the original insole in the shoe, but it is not glued in place. After this bit of customizing, great support, wonderfully wide toe box. The snug arch is already giving to make it easier to put on. Now that I know how to take away that "clog" fit, will definitely order another color.

I normally wear a size 10, sometimes larger in certain brands. I decided to order these in a 10.5 and it's a good thing because they're still tight. The toe is fine, and after a little wear-in, the heel (normally where I have the most problems with shoes) is alright now as well, but the middle is really tight. I've never had an issue with that before and don't wear wide shoes. Not so much a slip-on as a shove-like-hell to get it on. Once they're on, they're snug and if I have them on for awhile they can get a little painful. Unfortunately didn't realize that until I had already walked around in them or I would have returned for a size 11. As it stands, I'll just have to use a shoe stretcher for the middle section and then I suspect they'll be a nice comfortable, casual option. Seem very rugged. I'd recommend ordering up a size.
