Customer Reviews KEEN Lower East Side Lace

These shoes are super groovy! And that's a good thing.

I love this shoe! It's fun and looks a little like a boxing shoe to me. The laces are a little off center which cool. I wore them to work and they were pretty comfortable considering I was on my feet for 4 hours. The only thing is they were a little small. I usually wear a 9 in Keens but these were tight. Could be because of the socks. I will get a half size larger and see if that's better. I love these Keens!

I should have listened to the other reviews...the shoe runs small, narrow and really has no arch support. Fun shoe for running around but no serious walking

I usually wear a 9.5, but purchase Keens in 10. This time I had to order 10.5, but I was determined to get a comfortable fit. These shoes are just so cool. I love the different tones and textures of the gothic olive color. I will be wearing these a lot this fall as they go with so many different colors. Wish there was more support so I could wear them longer at a time and when lots of walking is involved. But for just hanging out, they'll do fine.

LOVE the style of this shoe. And the foot bed was comfy. However, it ran small for my foot. And narrow in the toe box. I have a hammertoe on my right foot with a neuroma and must be careful choosing shoes. The only way I could wear it was with the thinnest of footies. I may try a half size bigger with this one the next time.

I was looking for an "elevated" tennis shoe with a removable insole so that I could wear my orthotics - and these are perfect! That said, I hit "buy" without looking at all the views so was surprised when I saw the variegated gray fabric panel on the big toe side of each shoe. It's odd but I've learned to like it as every other aspect of the shoe works for me. Be sure to look at all the views! They were a bit narrow and short so purchased a half size larger than my usual.

Very cute shoe, but not great arch support. My orthotic helps.The toe-box looks more narrow than it is; I was surprised that it accommodated my lumpy toes. The soles squeak, but that should resolve with wear.

It's definitely not a shoe that can be worn with socks. It felt a bit snug, so I'm sending them back. On the upside the asymmetrical laces are really snazzy and the shoe looks better in person than they do online.

I have mixed feelings about these shoes..... I absolutely LOVE the style, which is the only reason I kept them. They're not exactly comfortable.. I'm not super picky about comfort, but these shoes make my back hurt and stiff for the first couple days of wearing, and this had never happened to me before. I think the insoles are too padded, and more padded in front than on the heel. They make me lean toward my heels and cause the stiff back pain. BUT, I couldn't get past these super funky style, so I kept them, hoping they'll get better as I wear them more often.

Although I normally love their products, this style with the laces just off to the side felt uncomfortable . Foot bed was very flexible and cushy but no real arch support
