Customer Reviews KEEN Toyah MJ

These shoes look cute but the quality is not what I am accustomed to with Keens. The shoes are flimsy compared to other Keens. They do not fit securely. I would not buy these again.

I had another pair of Keens, which were super comfortable after an initial breaking in period. When I wore them out, I thought I'd replace them with this pair, based on the positive reviews. Like my first pair, these didn't feel comfortable at first, but I thought that they just needed some breaking in. After wearing them several times, I realize that they'll never be comfortable. They feel too wide in general, but pinch around the toes. I do have bunions and the shoes press against them, but I think they could bother even someone with less problematic feet as they tend to pinch the top of my feet also.

I have had this pair for six months and now the elastic strap has frayed and worn. I am in the process of reordering this same pair as they are so comfortable. Keen is honoring the warranty and so far so good. Hopefully, the next pair will not do this.

These are cute. The black olive is an interesting neutral almost charcoal. They pinched at the metatarsal and the side was a little high on one foot so I reluctantly returned them. Keens often are too narrow for me. I kept the Merrells that I ordered at the same time. They fit perfectly.

This shoe runs so large I was not even able to keep them on with a pair of thick socks. They look great with jeans but the fit is way off from my other 2 pair of Keens

I love Keens and was really suprised to find this pair actually too big! I always wear a 9 sometimes a 9.5 but I think I would need an 8.5 in this shoe and I had on fairly thick socks!

Typical Keen with a super wide toebox, good arch support, and instant comfort. It didn't slip, despite my somewhat narrow heel. However, it's beefed up style makes it seem bulkier than it needs to be--maybe because it's waterproof? I want a more streamlined design, so I'm exchanging it to try the Naot Kirei and Born Aronica.

I bought these for travel. Three weeks into the trip the elastic strap was frayed to the point of breaking on one shoe and half way frayed on the other. Keen used to be a favorite and I was loyal. The last two pairs that I purchased were garbage. I will never buy Keens again.

I bought these shoes not even a year ago -- they are very comfortable and fit well. However, the elastic that holds the buckle onto the shoe has been stretching the entire time and has now broken on both shoes. In less than a year. I'm having them repaired right now, but am still upset and expected more from Keens. I have purchased several pairs of Keens in my life and have never had something break so quickly on these shoes. I still need to mention how comfortable these shoes are, which is why I'm investing more money in them to have them fixed.

I love these shoes. The only issue I have had with them is the elastic on the strap giving out. I have already replaced one side, and the other side is now giving way. Other than that, they are absolutely fantastic!

I really wanted to like these shoes - and I am a fan of Keen, so I thought nothing could go wrong. Trusting the reviews, I got an 8.5 (normally wear a 9), and the shoes were too small. Had to return them, got a 9, and it was just huge. Unbelievable - got blisters just testing these shoes out at home. I don't really get what's wrong with this model, but it's just not up to the standard. Would recommend that Keen fans avoid them!

This shoe was quite comfortable, but it is actually of poor quality. The left side is already messed up; elastic band is broken already. I'd rather buy Clarks which are fine even up until now (1.5 years later) whereas these fell apart in less than 3 months.

Keen seem to be struggling with their shoe sizes this year. I have tried each of the MJ styles and none of them fit me correctly. I am normally a size 6.5 or 7 but ended up buying shoes that were an 8! Crazy.

Quality materials. A bit clunkier than it appears. The sole is solid with good grip. I couldnt give it a 5 for comfort because the shoe is too stiff, stiffer than I like a new shoe to be. More importantly, the buckle on the side or the way its stitched is rough and gave me a blister, socks are a must.

I bought 2 other Keens and they were too small and this style was too large. The shoe is heavy but I think I would get used to that. The leather is also fairly stiff. I don't know if that would loosen up in time. I liked the color and style.

These are very comfy shoes, but they have a significant design flaw: the elastic that holds the strap in place was completely shot after a couple of months of wear, making the shoes too loose to walk in. Luckily, my local shoe-repair place is replacing the elastics with leather, but they told me the buckle and the shoe both put too much of a strain on the elastic. I'm surprised the designers of this model didn't take that into consideration. So, if you don't mind paying to replace the shoddy elastic, this is quite a nice shoe; I especially like the wide toe box (Keens are practically the only brand that doesn't pinch my toes).

Even though I usually wear a 7 1/2 in Keens, my usual size 7 was plenty big in this style. I like these shoes generally - they are reasonably comfortable, but they have to go back as they press down on top of my biggest toes. If you have low profile toes (apparently I don't), these could be very comfortable, cute (though typically Keen clunky) walking shoes for you.

These shoes would probably be good for anyone who isn't broad around the ball of the foot. The design is flat across the top though and digs into the top of my foot. It's sad because everything else about the shoe is made for foot-shaped feet.

I had high hopes based on all the positive reviews, but these shoes did not fit me well. I took the advice of other reviewers and ordered 1/2 size smaller than my other Keen shoes because these run more true to your regular shoe size than other Keens. The length was fine and I like a wide toe box, but the heel area was way too wide and was slipping up and down even with socks on. The big problem was that the top of the shoe cut across my big toe right where the toe is sensitive from a mild bunion. They were also stiff and did not have enough cushioning for someone who has had extensive foot surgery. I also thought these shoes were a bit more clownish looking in person than on the website -- not the European travel shoe I wanted. I love my Keen sandals but these shoes had to go right back. Thanks to Zappos, as always, for letting me try so many different shoes for my very picky feet! Your service is tops!

Ordered the Keen Toyah because the Dansko Kate was not available. The Toyah is very wide and the toe box felt like it was cramping down on my toes. My heels also slipped in the back; the heel box seemed very wide. I had to return the Toyah.

These are good quality shoes that look good as well. The only problem I have with them is that I bought these to help out with my plantar facitis and it did not help at all. The insoles are nonexistent and it seems to irritate my feet by the end of the day.But this is nothing insoles could not help, I guess.

I love Keens but these were short in the footbed and my toes were bumping up against the shoes. I had to return them.

I bought these based on the review that they are so comfortable. They were ok, but not great. The description says that they have good arch support, but I found my pair to be rather flat. After wearing them every day for about two weeks I developed plantar fasciitis. The shoes were the only thing that I changed in my daily routine, so I really think they were the problem. After my feet healed, I tried them again and at the end of the first day of wear, I was in pain again. This was a lot of money to spend on shoes that I cannot wear. I am so disappointed.

These shoes were great except when the straps started falling apart less than 3 months after I purchased them. I think it was about 3 months. I felt they also seem bigger than the size marked too. Luckily for me, when the straps were falling apart, I emailed Zappos and was given a full refund for return of the shoes. I loved the shoes as they were so comfy but not even a year passed when the straps started to fray apart - in the actual elastic itself.

These shoes were not only wide in the toe box, but wide all over. I have a narrow heel so they won't work for me.
