Customer Reviews KEEN Hush Knit CNX

Looking for a less athletic, neutral color summer shoe with good toe room. This crosses off everything. I don't like having to break in shoes. These are very comfy right out of the box. Very smooth insole and all stitched areas. Fit nice without socks which is probably how I'll wear most of the time. I don't like a heavy dark color shoe in the summertime. I like something more neutral at the bottom of my legs :) As you would expect with that Keen style toe there is nice wiggle room for my toes. This shoe has a partial rubber cap with suede so it's not quite as klunky as a traditional Keen toe. The mesh is a little wrinkly behind the toe cap. Admittedly, they're not the most stylish. They have a funny look BUT i am looking for comfort and don't mind being the girl with the weird looking shoe. I'm keeping.

This shoe is really light, cute and fits well. The fabric has a nice texture and interesting, slightly 2-tone coloring. I wish the sole were a little more substantial, but of all the Keens I've tried, it's the best walking shoe I could find (I wear Keen hiking boots all the time but wanted a lighter, more compact shoe for traveling). I'm going to add some kind of insole to get a bit more cushioning, but all in all, this is a great, light, comfortable, attractive shoe.

Keen shoes are famous for their wide toe boxes and wide foot bead. This Keen design is very narrow and would be great for someone who has narrow feet and could never wear Keens in the past. However, for a Keen lover, like myself, they are WAY TOO NARROW. I have included a photo to show a typical Keen sole on one of my many Keen shoes. And next to that this Hush Knit CNX. As you can clearly see, the Hush Knit is much narrower. Returned. Thankfully the other Keens I received are the normal Keen wide width and I am keeping those.

This shoe is working out well for me. I ordered a half size larger than normal size and needed it. The one drawback is they do not have removable insoles. There really isn’t much arch support but I still find them comfortable to wear all day.

i really wanted these to work...i wear a perfect size TEN 90% of the time. i ordered a size TEN...they were very uncomfortable in the toe box that is cut straight across...i ordered a size 10.5. the shoe fit pretty well, but now the toe box was too long. :(

The fit of these... ridiculous. Felt like a narrow. At least a half size smaller in fit, but hard to tell because they are so narrow. My feet measure 9.5 regular at the ortho store, and these felt like something made for a small child. I thought they were cute, so I'll give them style points for that. Really disappointed in the Keen brand lately, but not ready to give up on them yet. I've chosen them so often for their roomy toe space, and the last few purchases have missed the mark.

beware the toe box that is cut straight across. 95% of the time i wear a size 10...the shoe felt really good except for the toe box -- i couldn't even try to make them work. i am returning and ordering a 10.5. we shall see.

Fine fit but SUPER slippery bottoms

They have a slippery sole as noted by other reviewer so I was careful at first and walked outside to scuff them up on the sidewalk which worked. Arch support is lacking so I purchased arch supports which normally isn’t needed for keen. They are lite weight and with the arch support comfortable.

The shoes are adorable! I do not think they run small. I am an 8 1/2 and that was they size that fits. The arch support is lacking but even though the insoles do not come out, there is room to add another. Zappos was GREAT in helping with the exchange of one size for another.My new shoes came in ONE day and I am ever so grateful. THANK YOU Zappos!!!

Just received my order -- very nice shoes but they run wide and half size short. I normally take size 10B in closed toe styles, and ordered size 10 in this show. My big toe hits the front of the shoe. Going back immediately. Thanks Zappos for easy n free return shipping! :)

I have narrow (AA) feet but can usually wear medium-width tie shoes with my orthotics in them and socks, but these were way too wide, especially in the heel, and I practically walked right out of them. This is good news for wide-footed people, but not for us narrow ones. I had to return them, which made me sad because they're very cute.

Sizing and fit runs wide and short. I own Keen styles, and liked this shoe bc it's cute. I normally wear 9.5M in sandals, and 10M in closed toe shoes/sneakers. I ordered size 10 and was VERY short on me -- it felt like a full size too short. Returned and re-ordered size 10.5M, which was again too short - like a half size. At the same time, the 10.5 size was so wide that when fully laced, the top of the shoes were folded up and looked terrible. Again returned the shoe. Maybe these will work on wide feet. So disappointed....

So lightweight, so flexible. Very thin soles — almost to where I could feel the tread of the shoe underfoot when I stood or walked. This gave me concerns as to the durability of the shoe. More disappointing was the narrow footbed. I wear a 10.5 wide, and Keens usually work well for me, but I could see the bones of my feet poking out through the sides of these shoes. Also, my big toe rubbed right up against the end of the shoe. If you have the option, I suggest ordering a half size up. These don’t come in an 11, so I had to return them. What the hell, Keen? We used to be friends.

I went up a half size and the fit is perfect. Very comfortable with a gel like cushioning. Light weight and good for traveling. The sole does have a bit of tread for longer wear.

Doesn’t bother my broken ankle with a too high or arch that pushes up on broken bones, I can tell you for someone with flat feet and really flat on my left foot; I love that there is no inside that is going to roll up under your foot, I love the little rubber bumper at the toes. Wore them 3 days in a row and on my feet all day, and no discomfort. After a few hours on any other shoe my left ankle is killing me. Not with these. I am a size 11 in this shoe but most shoes I’m a 12. That is why I’m saying runs 1/2 size larger. Or could be these are accurate and all the other shoes I’ve had and own are wrong. Work, play, with jeans or skirt they are super cute. Dried like a dream too. And no smells.

I like these shoes in black...especially because they have a black sole and don’t look so much like running shoes....I bought them for a trip to Spain in May....the only problem I had was the sizing...as someone mentioned before, they do not have a removable insole...so I really debated about 9 or 9.5....and I kept both sizes for a few days...I finally decided on the 9.5....I am hoping they don’t stretch out!

Because of the rubber on the sides, these shoes were just not comfortable enough. Tried a half-size larger hoping that would solve the issue but it didn't. Disappointed they didn't work.

I've ordered and returned these several times because whenever I get them, there always seems to be a flaw somewhere on the suede. Anyway, these are immediately comfortable... they feel like slippers. But, I walked around the house a bit and am afraid that the toe box will be bothersome. It's weird, they fit perfectly, even in the length, but my toes somehow feel like they're hitting the top or front of the shoe when I walk. Next size up (9.5) was way too big.

These feel so comfortable -- like slippers with shoe bottoms. They're also really cute. The sizing seems a bit odd in that the 10 felt too roomy and the 9.5 too short, but that might just be me. I'm going with the 10s so that I am sure to have enough room with thicker socks. For a woman with pretty large feet, these shoes also seem to make my feet look like they aren't especially big. I really like that aspect. It's hard for a size 10 foot to look cute.

This is my second pair of Keens and so far I'm quite happy with the brand. I have wide feet so this brand is good for me. I wanted a pair of solid black casual tennies/shoes and this pair fits the bill. They're cute on, don't make my feet look too big and are soft and comfortable. After I wear them for awhile and see how they settle in, I might buy another pair in a different color, as the style is one I like for my lifestyle.

Loved a lot about these Keens but had to return- they are too narrow, not the typical generous Keens width. I've been wearing Keens for many years, have many pairs, because they are comfortable on my wide feet. Not sure why they are making so many of their shoes narrow these days, but this pair is definitely a traditional "medium" width, so disappointing...Otherwise, these are soft, lightweight, cute (in a funky way) little sneakers- wish I could have kept them.

Super cute, wanted to love them...but the back of the heel came up so high it cut into the back of my ankle. I mean literally cut into my skin! I am a big Keen fan and I have never had this issue with other Keen shoes. Sadly, I had to return these.

The fit and the size were great, but the only thing that I didn't like was they were slippery when I walked in them. So, I am going to have to find something to put on the bottom of them.

These shoes are wonderful. the color is great. I love the fact they're mesh but have support. I love the fact that they have a tie. I love the fact that they look dressy but also casual. Can you tell I just love them
