Customer Reviews KEEN Owyhee

I've been a Keen wearer for years. Certain styles fit great, while others don't seem to fit at all, so I encourage others to try more than one style. These are perfect for me. Easy on and off, love the color, nothing rubs or pinches. I always wear with lightweight socks (for medical reasons), which take up a bit of extra room. Very comfy to wear all day.

Love these shoes. So very comfortable. They have great support and I love that they can be worn in the water! When was the last time you could wear a hiking shoe in the water?! Zappos was great to do business with...even with free shipping these shoes arrived earlier than expected. I just ordered a pair of Keen's for my husband!

Love these shoes, I have three pairs of them and wear them all day at work for 9 hours and they feel great all day. Thanks.

Yea! I finally found a pair of shoes that I could wear for several hours at a time at Disney World. In the past, even my most comfortable shoes gave me callouses on the bottom of my feet after a day or two. I preferred the look of the Keen Whispers (not so bulky and wide), but felt like the backs of my feet were always riding on the back of the shoe (even after I bought a bigger size). The covered heel on the Owyhee's made all the difference. It took 4 tries (between multiple sizes of the Whispers and Owyhees), but with the exemplary customer service provided by Zappos, I finally found a pair I'll be wearing for a long, long time.

These shoes feel true to size to me, seem very comfortable on my rather wide foot. Looking forward to bringing them to Acadia National Park to break them in!

I ordered these Sunday night and got them today! As cute as the picture. I ordered a half size larger as most people suggested, they fit PERFECT! I'm so excited to get out and put them to the test. Highly recommend these shoes. I will be buying more!

Very pleased with this shoe, use as my walking shoe, comfortable, with wide toe base. My 1st Keen purchase, won't be my last! Also fastest shipping ever, Thank you.

Love these shoes! I got the brown and the gray ones, and the fit is perfect. They are so lightweight and very comfortable.

Love these shoes! They were so comfy from the time I took them out of the box. These are my second pair of Keen's and I have no complaints! The color is a cool gray with blue stitching. I would recommend these to anyone. I ordered my true size and they fit perfect.

I found these shoes great for hiking on rocks, etc. Tried them in Maine. Went up the west face of Cadillac Mountain and they were wonderful. I bought a second pair too. The toe room is what I needed. Also bought Keen waterproof hiking boots the Gypsum Mids. Will test them out in the next 2 weeks at Mt. Rainier and Whistler.

Love these shoes. Could not find in my size anywhere and ordered from Zappos...free shipping both ways! Some Keens have been inconsistent size-wise, but these are perfect. Took them out of the box and have not stopped wearing them. Purchased to replace VERY old pair of Keen sandals. Wanted ones with a heel cup, but not too warm for summer. These were the perfect shoes!

Perfect fit. Kept my feet cool and comfortable. Great for our trip to Hawaii!

I'm wearing a Keen Owyhee on one foot and a Teva Ewaso on the other. The Keen is definitely lighter weight but the area across the tips of my toes is huge. I mean, there's room for my toes and several fingers, yet a smaller size would be too short. I'm used to women's shoes and sandals being too narrow. Because they're so roomy, I don't think these would be secure enough for hiking on irregular, slippery ground. These are strictly for Keen lovers who enjoy the Bigfoot look.

Comfortable, though length slightly shorter than expected, but it works. Usually Keens don't fit my feet, but this is a different type of shoe.

These shoes are super comfy. I really like the tie and how easy they are to put on and take off. I didn't like the colors at first, but they grew on me!

Very comfortable right out of the box. These are a good alternative to athletic shoes. I ride my bike, walk the dogs etc in them.

Really wanted to keep these because they were easy to get on and off, they were very well constructed, they had good support, the toe bumper didn't come up too far, and my toes didn't rub the top of the shoe. But they lack arch support and I couldn't fit an orthotic in them. The bumps on the insole are uncomfortable after a 20 minute walk on the treadmill.

I love these. I bought mine in Prague, Czech Republic after the other shoes I brought were killing my feet. We walked miles in the city, etc., and felt like I was wearing tennis shoes. I have wide feet and a long second toe on both feet, so it's hard to get comfortable shoes.

Very pleased on difficult feet. Surprised the 7.5 fit so well with toe room. Love the toggle lace up much better than typical tie. Good arch for me. Concrete surface gave blister on little toe & made Morton's neuroma hurt on both feet, on park trails wonderful.

Love the shoe... unfortunately, they were way too big! Probably a full size or a size and a half too large.

I love the look/color but even though I ordered it a half size too big to compensate for an orthopedic, it was still too small and made a blister on my toe but it seemed looser in the width. Very sad.

I was very excited about this shoe. It offered so many adjustments and another reviewer mentioned that it worked well with an orthotic insole, which I also have. It is a good quality shoe and I liked the style, but after wearing it a bit, I discovered that there is one part you cannot adjust. If you examine the image of the shoe, you will see the 'collar' or webbing at the top of the shoe, toward the ankle. This collar is a single construction of an elastic-type material, sewn into the shoe and cannot be loosened or adjusted. Perhaps the collar design has to do with this being a 'water' sandal, which was not the reason I wanted the shoe. The problem for my foot was that the collar was a constant pressure - it was just too tight against the top of my foot, especially at the bend of the foot and ankle. After about 20 minutes, I simply had to take the shoe off. I even tried a larger size but that did not effect the tightness of the 'collar'. Other people have not mentioned this issue and it may simply be my feet, but I thought I'd pass it along.

For me, these were way too wide. I feel they may have been made to fit a man. I had to go ahead and use them because I needed them, so I did nit return as I would have liked to do. Otherwise very sturdy.

Who shrunk the Keens? I have worn size 8 in Keens for many years. The Owyhee size 8 is teeny. As others have stated, it also feels flimsy and cheap. I love my many Keens, which have held up very well, so I will not be deterred! I will try another style.

This shoe is very cute but not very comfortable for walking any distance. I've worn them twice and have developed a blister (which I never get). Not a lot of padding or support. Other Keen styles have been much better and worth the money.
