Customer Reviews KEEN Elsa Sneaker

These shoes are stylish and fun. When I put them on they felt wonderful - with plenty of toe room. However, after I walked a mile or two while on a trip, they began to rub on my little toe and I finally had to take them off. I haven't tried to wear them again...I'll give them another try on a shorter outing and see if they work better for me. I hope they do because I really like the way they look.

Super cute!!! They are tight so you have to wear them in :) overall I’m pleased!

I have super wide feet and it's very hard to find shoes that fit me properly (which is probably a good thing because I'm kind of a shoe fanatic and I can just imagine what my closet would look like if fit were not an issue!) These Keen sneakers are super cute and (mostly) fit comfortably. Yay! There is a slight rub on the back of the ankle, as one other reviewer commented, where there is a lot going on with the construction of the shoe. I'm hoping it softens up there. For now, I can wear them at least 2 hours and my ankle still feels good enough. I often buy shoes size 7.5 because I need the extra width. With these Keens, I ordered both sizes and went with the 7.

I have wide, flat feet with bunions and these fit well. I need a shoe with A LOT of support and these only provide moderate support, so I won’t be able to wear them all day, but they will be good for a few hours. I’m just psyched to find a shoe that I can wear that is not a running sneaker, hiking boot or Medicaid Mary Janes.

-felt very large but the look is appealing

I do like these sneakers but happy I ordered a half size up and will wear a thinner sock because they do fit width-wise but just about! The look it very cute! I will keep them - just wish they didn’t just fit!

Keen is my go-to for quality, comfort, and durability. I was looking for a stylish, casual shoe for everyday wear. As someone with flat feet and ankle issues, I need a shoe with good support or removable insoles so I can put in my own arch supports. While I liked the overall look of the shoe, it unfortunately lacked the support and structure that Keen typically offers. While I was not expecting hiking boot stability or construction, I was not wowed with these shoes. Ultimately, I knew they wouldn't work for my feet. Thank you, Zappos, for having unbeatable customer service so I could return these and try a different pair.

Nicely made, sturdy sneaker but way too wide for my foot, especially throughout the toe box.

The insole is massive. I'm planning on finding a thinner insole, which I think will solve my problems. It's like the shoe is built to have a thinner insole, then they stuck this beefy slab in here. It feels like the rest of the shoe doesn't hit in quite the right place unless you put all your weight on one foot and squish down the insole. As is, it hurts a bit around the opening if I wear them too long. The shoe is also a lot heavier than what I'm used to, but I think that's just me. My daily shoes are the Keen cortana bow, which pretty much don't weigh anything. It's super cute, though!

These are more comfy than the other design but they're still tight when new. They need to be broken in.

Fit great once I put my orthotics in for more arch support, but not quite thick enough sole for my plantar fasciitis, which is bad right now.

Like all Keen shoes, the sizing is consistent and the comfort is immediate. These canvas shoes are a little stiff in the heel so they rub a little bit but I expect they will soften with wear. They are flexible soles that qualify as minimalist which is exactly what I was looking for but have more cushion than other canvas sneakers. I am very happy with them, I only wish they came in a shade of blue and a true red rather than the pink.

Unfortunately, I need a 1/2 size bigger but I wear an 11 and that is as large as Keen goes for women. I was so excited for these cute, comfy shoes but now they have to get sent back :-(

I was able to use my custom orthotics in these which was a huge plus. The insole that comes with the shoe is so thick that my orthotic fit easily with enough room for my hallux limitus. I did need to exchange because the toe cap on the right shoe and left shoe were of different widths in my first order.

I wanted these to work so badly. I've been wanting a cute pair of white sneakers and thought these would fit the bill. But...they rub too much on my heel. I normally wear 9.5 so I ordered that and a 10 just in case. Neither were a good fit. So disappointed.

So happy to find a canvas sneaker that accommodates my custom orthotics and has a wider toe box. My feet are short, wide and high-arched....shaped exactly like a size 36 Birkenstock with a narrow heel. The size 6.5 Elsa does not pinch my toes the way the Coronados did.

Loved the look and style of this shoe but sadly will be returning. Where the tongue is sewn to the shoe it rubs against my foot with every step I take. Unfortunately I don't see any way to prevent this from happening. Too bad cause otherwise they're perfect.

I wanted to like these sneakers. They are very cute. But I found them hard and uncomfortable. The padding at the heal is almost non-existent. For those of you who loved Simple Shoes: These are not a replacement.

Love this shoe! I went half a size up and didn't need to, so I exchanged them. More supportive than other brands of shoes with this style.

I love my Keens but these just didn't do it. They are very heavy and not as comfortable--I like to wear my Keens without socks but these were a bit uncomfortable in the back. They were stiffer also than other styles I have gotten in the past. Very disappointed. I do love Zappos though--they make it so easy to return.

I ordered a half size up, so they fit okay lengthwise, but were a little snug in width for my wide feet. They also felt stiff and unforgiving. They'll probably soften up with wear, but I'm not going to take that risk. Bring back the Coronado!

I'm a 65 year old woman and I have to smile every time I look down at my feet. These shoes are cute and a comfortable fit. I especially appreciate the removable insole which allows me to insert my orthotics.

I really love the looks of my new Keens. They are a little narrower in the toe box but still work for my wide foot. I always order a size 6.5 in Keens and these fit just fine. The insole is removable so I can add my custom orthotic. While I would not recommend this shoe if you are on your feet all day long, they are fine for most activities. I am very happy with my purchase and I love the green color.

Super cute, but about 1/2 size to small and a narrow toe box.

These made my feet look really wide unlike other styles of shoes like Converse which make your feet look pretty narrow by comparison. They didn't feel like they were too wide, it's just the way they're styled they just LOOK wide. It bothered me enough that I decided to return these...
