Customer Reviews KEEN Toyah MJ

I've been wearing Keens for about 3 years now, but this is the first time I've tried this style. I find it very comfortable and supportive. I'm a hairdresser and I stand all day so this is very important for me. The only thing I would change about this shoe is the strap closure -- in this day of velcro and magnetic snaps, I have become lazy and I don't like having to "buckle" my shoes!

This is my third pair of Keens, and I think they're so cute. I picked them up on sale a few weeks ago and can't wait for the weather here to be cool enough to wear with socks. I haven't thought to wear them sockless, as I'll have them on with jeans mainly as my weekend shoe. Keen shoes are the most comfortable for me, with feet wide in the toe area and skinny heels, these are always great for a day of walking around, and so far these feel the same as my others. It's nice to have a pair of shoes that don't need breaking in to be comfortable.

I bought this shoe to wear during a long weekend trip to NYC. Walking around the city usually causes severe blistering, but not with these. I wore them a couple of times before traveling to break them in, but it wasn't necessary. They were good to go right out of the box. The weekend was an all-weather adventure-- hot and sunny, then cold and rainy. Without socks, with tights, with socks -- this shoe was comfortable and cute. It was especially good in the rain--my feet never got wet or cold. It doubled especially well for daytime wear and evening/Broadway show wear. Some have said that the left shoe fits a little differently than the right, and I did notice that. It wasn't enough to bother me, though. It's hard to find a shoe so versatile and comfortable, so I was willing to put up with a very slight quirk in the sizing (so slight I wouldn't even bother with a sole insert). I'm looking forward to this shoe being great for all seasons in South Texas.

These shoes stretched out in about 4 hours to the point that my back heel would slide up and down. They are chunky in style and if I don't have long jeans they look dorky. But I got some mean blisters on my heals from this shoes. The soles are super chunky and ugly. Just not a cute shoe. I was very disappointed and returned them.

I love Keen's but these are too stiff and tight for me. Sorry, as they look so nice.

I was looking forward to having these shoes for work because Keen's offer great support, but they were like boats. I have wide feet anyhow and these were even wide on me. They are the second pair of Keen flats that I've tried that have been super wide. I would have tried a narrower size but they don't offer it.

Some are saying that these feel big. It is my opinion that they fit just like Keen sandals, not like you would expect a Mary Jane to fit. I work hard, on my feet, usually 8-10 hour shifts sometimes with almost no break. I have been rotating these with two other pair of work shoes (another set of Keens and a Sanitas) since July. They are awesome, supportive, and easy to clean.

Don't buy a size larger as is often recommended with Keens. I wear a size 9 in other brands and bought both a 9 and 9.5 (which is what I usually wear in Keens). Even the 9 felt a tad too large but not so large as to warrant a smaller size. These Keens actually do have better arch support than others I have bought in the past which was a definite plus. However, the heels were loose and gaped, in fact, the entire shoe just seemed...wide. I wouldn't feel comfortable wearing them with shorts or capris because of their width but they would be okay with jeans. They were very comfortable shoes and the bronze green shade I bought was very pretty. The toe box had plenty of room, as is common with Keens. I was torn on whether to keep them or not, but the gaping heels and overall wideness just made this cute shoe unflattering on me so I reluctantly returned both pair. If you have a narrow foot, I would definitely recommend against these, otherwise, they are a great Keen shoe. I am still a Keen-lover for life!

I love the look of these shoes, plus the fact that the insoles are removable so that I can use my orthotics. But I have a somewhat narrow foot and this shoe is better suited to someone with wide feet. The heel especially is a bit loose on me.

These ran a little smaller than the Whisper sandals I bought last year. I gave them to my daughter, who is on her feet all day, and she loves them.

I now have two pair of these, three Keens total, and am so in love with the brand. I have never worn a more comfortable shoe. The Toyah did feel every so slightly wider than marked, but it's still extremely comfortable to wear. They also felt a bit larger than marked. Both issues are small and easily fixable. This shoe is wonderful!!

I bought these shoes because of their multi-functionality. They are durable and comfortable to take on long walks, yet professional enough to wear to a conference or work. The shoes rubbed my heals a bit the first day of wear, but were broken in quickly after the third day of wearing and walking. For me comfort and functionality are key, and this shoe does the job!

My friends who I consider way, way more fashionable than I were blunt & confessed they think these shoes are ugly. No other compliments either. I guess they are not lookers but the reviews caught my attention and I can also vouch - these shoes comfortable! Walked in the rain a long distance last night after a concert and I couldn't have been happier. Not a dressy shoe, but I do consider them the ideal alternative to gym shoes when needed.

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.

I love Keens. I have two pairs of sandals, insulated hiking boots and urban boots. Most of them are size 6, except for the boots which ran small and are 6½. After reading the reviews I bought two pairs, 6 and 6½ figuring that I would return one and even the 6 seems a bit loose. I am definitely returning the 6½ which is huge and now considering trying a 5½, although with socks the 6 should be fine. I love the shape and the leather inside as well as out. Also I was looking for shoes with a buckle, not a hoop and loop closer which would make a mess of socks.

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

Love these shoes! They look professional enough for work, but are comfortable enough for me to be on my feet all day. I can wear them with skirts, capris, or pants. I use orthotics which is one reason why I love Keens because I can take out their insoles and put in mine.

Beautiful shoe. Great color. But runs really large and this one is wide, too. I ordered two pairs of Keens - both 8 mediums. This one was too big and the other was too small! Keen makes great shoes that last, but the sizing is inconsistent.

I just bought my second pair. I travel to many countries across the world. I take two pair of shoes, hikers and the Keen Toyah. I love them because they serve as my "dress" shoe and you can walk all over in them as well. I use an orthotic and the shoe accommodates that quite well. They have been washed after travel and just keep working at home as well.

I loved these shoes as soon as I took them out of the box. The left foot was fine but the tiny little bunion on my right foot "screamed" as soon as I put it on. The 8M (I normally wear 7 1/2 - 8EE) was wide enough but the vamp cut right across the bunion and the leather felt very hard. I was so disappointed because the shoe was otherwise very comfortable, even without socks, and they would have been perfect with any of my crop pants, jeans and shorts, especially on rainy days. I would absolutely recommend the Keen Toyah if you're looking for comfort and don't have "testy" little bunions.

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.

Super comfortable footbed. There was some wearing on the back of me heel at first, but I was wearing them straight for 3 days on a trip. The tread is really good and grabs when I am riding my bike. Really happy I purchased these.
