Customer Reviews KEEN Versacore Speed

I tried on this KEEN shoe in REI in my size and was able to get the color/size I wanted directly from KEEN web site to save a few dollars, using a first-time discount coupon. The black/grey mix is good for me as my other brand of 'running shoes -- that I use for walking -- all seem to be coming in brighter and brighter color combinations and mostly white soles. These KEENs are good with jeans when I want to walk (at beach, parks, neighborhoods) a bit and may end up in a place (coffee shop, restaurant) where I don't need to be wearing neon colors (or the like) on my feet. In REI, they were categorized with other hiking shoes, vs. running and seem to have good cushioning, but perhaps less 'spring' than running shoes I own and walk in. I wanted to try a new brand. KEEN seems to be a quality shoe and nice fit (size 9, wide enough toe box for me).

Nice sneaker . Quite comfortable wide enough toe box and I can easily fit my orthotics in them. The only down aide is that they dont have the extea cushioning that many of the newer sneakers in other brands have

I have bought Keen sandals for years and this is my first time buying this type of shoe. Love the color, shoes are true to size and very comfortable.

Was unable to find this style in local stores, so ordered online, since two family members like this brand. I wore them around the house several times, and out to get the mail, too. Footbed is very comfortable. However, the way the upper back of the shoe rises rubbed on my tendon and was painful while walking, no matter which socks I wore. Returned them. If Keen's ever design a walking shoe that is lower profile around the ankle and the back, I would try them again.

I was very surprised at how well my foot tolerates the tapered toe of these shoes. Normally any tapering causes misery, but these shoes' uppers have good stretch and accommodate a painful bunion as well as the silicone toe spacers I use.

I like the shoes, and they fit fine, but when I walk, especially down hill, my toes cram into the front of the shoe and its painful.

Very comfortable shoes. Need longer shoelaces and flat ones that will stay tied. These are not long enough to double knot, and they continually come untied.

My old pair of NXIS needed replacement, and I'm glad I made a switch to Versacore. Like NXIS, Versacore fits my wide toe box, but with more cushion in the heel while staying light in weight. If you are looking for a neutral color, the black/magnet shade is a good pick. The gray laces and soles contrast with the black mesh and the the lighter cushion. Although the cushion looks bright white on the screen, it's actually a light grayish white and doesn't show much dirt.

Very comfortable show with a wide toe area. I added inserts for extra support and am happily walking for miles.

Fantastic

I love the color so much! The fit is nice and it works great as a walking shoe for me. Extremely comfortable. I ordered a size 10. I might have been able to get a 9.5 but have mixed feelings on whether it would have been to close to my toes in the front. I wanted to use it on an obstacle course initially, but never attended the event. I have the NXIS that are great too. I feel these have less of an arch which it is nice to switch between the two. I feel there is good air flow and not overheating as I do in some of the waterproof options from keen. I find that not having the rubber over lapping the top makes for these to seem like they are larger in size fit than the NIXS. They are squishy, comfortable and are easy on my joints with some spring to it. Will buy again next year another color. Love Keen shoes!!

As always, these sneaks are supportive, comfortable from the git-go, and just what I wanted and expected. Except for the laces, which I have had to replace. Round rather than flat, and artificial materials rather than cotton, they simply will not stay tied

I do a lot of trail walking and these shoes have been great from day one. They have a nice roomy toe box, but they don't look wide from the outside. They are lightweight, have good support, good tread and, in my opinion, just enough padding. Too much padding can make your feet hot, but that's not a problem with these shoes. Very happy with my purchase.

Great fit and support.

Wonderful shoes! I wear them 30 hours a week as a nurse and they keep my back, legs, hips, and feet comfortable!

Shoes run big so I really cant give a great review. They were very light shoes, not a lot of support

Got these for my wife for her birthday and she said she will never buy another shoe except these. Good company. Would definitely recommend them.

On all kinds of terrain grass, earth, pavement, even and uneven Comfortable, supportive, unusually broad footprint for unequalled stability and in a sneaker!

I researched and bought these shoes because I wanted comfort and some degree of a waterproof shoe. They are very comfortable. Easily wore them all day with no foot pain or issues. However, they offer zero protection from the rain. Even in a light rain, my feet were soaked in minutes. 3/4 people in my family bought this shoe with the same results. The one who bought Vessi stayed completely dry.

I had high hopes for these as I absolutely love my Keen boots! These are a different story. I only like the looks of these. There is no arch support and run big and no cushion to them. I really regret not returning them. I just bought insoles with arch supports so maybe I can at least wear them on occasion, they cost to much money to throw in the back of the closet where they have been. The lounge is also too narrow, it always exposes your socks and shifts to the side.

Most comfortable tennis shoes I have worn in a long time!!

I love these shoes...they are lightweight and perfect in the summer heat, plush they with last a long time.

My feet are really skinny..shoes were a bit wide and my foot slipped around in the shoe. Added a cheap insole and they are great!

Love these shoes! Ordered another pair in a different color. I have a bunion and a hammertoe so its hard to find shoes that I can wear but these work. I can also use my custom orthotics in them! Good arch support too!

I wear these tennis shoes to exercise, walking and every day wear. I love them. I had your tennis shoes before; bought 3 pairs at a time, then couldnt find any of your tennis shoes. I had to buy another brand; paid a lot of money for them and couldnt figure about why my toes were hurting and my ankle was sore. I thought I hadnt broken them in or I was wearing them too many hours in a day. I finally realized it was the shoes that was the problem. Sadly, I had bought 2 pairs! That company wont even respond to my email. Luckily I found your tennis shoes again and love them. I also have your water shoes. I love them also. The fit is great; I love the wide toe area. Glad I found your tennis shoes again.
