Customer Reviews KEEN WK450

I have high arches and wear these shoes for longer dog walks on sidewalks. These shoes are so supportive at the arch and takes the pressure off the pads of my feet in ways other shoes don't. They feel both firm and soft with a great spring back. The shape of the shoes feels weird at first, but actually do as they say and really help with propelling you forward. I personally wouldn't wear these for errands or as a daily show, but they are a fantastic walking shoe.

Narrow footbed and toe box, and runs a 1/2 size longer than the size I ordered. The rolling heel feature extends my heel down (reverse high heel action) to the point I feel unstable and the carpel tunnel in my knee flares up. Not for me. I like traditional Keen hiking shoes with the wide toe box: Kaci or Voyager. These might be good for my aunt who likes to say that she has feet like a pair of canoes. I find them to be lightweight, unstable, narrow and too long for my foot.

No break in period; put them on and walked for miles. Got lots of complements too!

KEEN shoes is the best shoes , it helps my neuropathy and plantar facitis gone away , even my husband, daughter and son in law

These are fun, cute, and my feet dont hurt!!!

comfortable shoes for long walks

I like these a lot. Perfect fit and makes walking easy with my arthritic foot. I did purchase a half size larger than I normally wear.

These were well made shoes and fit true to size. Unfortunately, they were not the shoes for me. I needed a more rigid heal since having knee replacement.

I have purchased 3 pair of the walking shoe. I broke my ankle which is now fused. I need something that rocks. Initially this shoe was perfect, but after several months it breaks down. This is a severe problem for me.

Has great arch support but could use more cushion especially in the toe.

I almost exclusively wear Keens and these are my new favorites! They are super comfortable and I love the purple color.

I had such high hopes for these shoes. I have flat feet, bunions and hammertoes and my feet are generally a mess. I walk about a mile a day and need good comfortable walking shoes that won't further damage my feet. I had been wearing Altras because I really need a wide toe-bed shoe. I wanted to try something different and stumbled across these in a google search for "good shoes with bunions. " The first thing I noticed was that the ball of the foot area was much more narrow than my Altras, these are definitely not wide toe-bed shoes. They hurt my bunion on one foot the first several days I wore them. They must have stretched out though, because that pain went away. Now what I think I don't love is that the soles aren't flat. I'm not prone to falls / poor balance, but I absolutely will not be wearing these shoes if it's rainy or icy. Less contact with the ground feels like I'll have far less traction. I live in CO and typically only swap my sneaks for boots right after a storm and I'm walking through inches of snow, but I switch back to sneakers when there's just a bit of leftover ice. No chance I'll wear these in that scenario given that only ~ 30% of the sole touches the ground. I do think the appearance of these shoes is cute - I love the color way. Although these are noticeably longer than my previous pair of sneaks and make my feet look enormous. I wear a size 10 women's shoe and am always self-conscious of my large feet, these truly look like men's shoes sitting at the front door. Totally on me for having big feet, but some shoes amplify it and some don't; these definitely do.

I purchased these as replacements for my Keen walking shoe style that is no longer available. These are even better than the old style and I loved those. Light weight, comfortable from the first wearing. Would highly recommend.

Very comfortable. Great fit. I needed shoes for working retail.

Love

This shoe, in my opinion, is as it is stated, a walking shoe. For me, it is not a shoe to wear for everyday use. The sole with the rocking feature was not comfort for me to wear running around doing errands or even housework. But, again, it is a walking shoe. Its well made as all Keen products are. I have many types of shoes from Keen, and have been extremely happy with all of them.

I am a huge fan of Keen shoes but these were the worst I have tired. It feels like you are walking on poles under each arch. I could not get used to it. I really need a supportive shoe and I decided to splurge on these because they were not cheap. I immediately returned.

They rock a little when you walk and it feels more energetic for some reason. They feel good

love these shoes; the arch support I needed.

These shows are delightful to walk in. I feel propelled forward by the tilt of the shoe. It took a sec to get used to, but it feels great while walking. I took the shoes out on a long hike and felt great afterward. Very well supported. And I love the colors!

I have a wide foot and I had ankle surgery which gave me nerve damage to my toes. I need a large toe box along with a rocker bottom shoe. I'm a woman but I purposely bought the men's because I figured they'd have a larger toe box and be a bit wider. I love them! Maybe you should give the men's a try

Cant say enough on how comfortable these walking shoes compared to other brands I have owned. The design is very effective. And the shoe is very stylish. So happy I made this purchase.

I walk 3 miles each day and this is an extremely comfortable shoe!
