The toe box is not like other Keen shoes I have purchased. They were narrow and had a composite toe on the inside leading to severe pain. I had to return them I loved the look and the show seemed comfortable other than the toes.

These are those sock type elastic bodied shoes, but they added rake laces? Not suitable for a job site.

My shoes are stylish and functional. This is the first time I've had slip-on shoes, and I love them.

I got these with the sites recommendation of get a bigger size than what you normally wear and when they arrived they were big. They also felt heavier than I thought. I will say I like the shoe and they were comfortable.

Great shoes as far as being protective and durable, however not the most comfortable shoes ever.

I've had many pairs of Keen steel-toe safety shoes over this last 10 years, all of them fit great and were pretty comfy. But I thought I'd try something different this time around, and the Arvada Shift Worker sneaker (with carbon toe vs steel) fit that bill. Turns out I can't believe how comfortable they are right from the start! Love that there are no laces to tie or a tongue that shifts around and never quite staying centered. These are just pure genius! Every morning when I put them on I'm just astounded at the fit (I wear a size 9 in 99% of my shoes, and the size 9D is perfect!). The laces on this shoe are elastic and integrated into the shoe so there is no tying of laces, EVER! Now when I go back and put on one of my older sets of Keen safety shoes for yard work and such I realize they are much heavier and certainly a much burlier shoe (still fit great tho). I just LOVE this new set, wish I'd known about them years ago!

Mostly I do remodels so not real heavy construction. The protective layer has already work off the fronts and its only been a week or so. Wasnt too excited about that. They are comfortable and I like the slip on/off compatibility and they look good. We will see how long they hold up.

While the length is great the overall shoe is too wide, from the toes to the heel. I ordered a regular width as I do in all my work shoes and other shoes but these are very different in the width.

These are new so I cannot comment on longevity. These are made in China now.. They are pretty comfortable and seem durable. They fit true to size as far as I length, I find Keens run a little narrow so I opt for wide., Ive been wearing them for 3-4 weeks and they seem good. They broke in quickly., They are breathe-able.

The shoes look good and they're wide enough for my toe splay. Unfortunately they're loose around the ankle and destroyed my heels. I tried to adjust the elastic "laces" but all that did was pull the laces out of the shoe with no way to put them back in. It seems like a really big design flaw to not secure the laces in place of they're not supposed to be adjustable. Or maybe they are and I can't figure it out. I emailed Keen 8/6/24 and have had no response other than a multitude of unrelated emails including this one to leave a review. So here it is. 3/5. I probably wouldn't buy from the brand again and absolutely not these shoes.

I have been wearing Keens for nearly 20 years and have never found a pair as unconformable as these. I do "shift work" and am on my feet for 13 hours a day building cabinetry. These shoes offer no interior support or cushioning and fit loosely. As it is a slip on shoe the laces are a mere illusion made of elastic, so there is no adjustment. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and wore them for a week at work (un-returnable at this point). My feet were not happy. These would probably be great for office work (i.e. putting in long hours designing shoes for flat footed trades people). I guess I will just have to ride it out until I can afford new shoes. I have ordered better insoles, cut the elastic bands off and have laced them with laces from my old keens. I will return, but I wont buy these and you shouldn't either.

Ordered a 12 because reviews said they ran big, but they were too small. Ordered a 13 and because theres no way to tighten these shoes, they were big and slipped up the back of my foot and caused blisters. This shoe does not work for me. If they had laces that actually worked, I likely would have loved these shoes. Unfortunately, it was a frustrating failure.

I have worn Keens for years and I been looking for casual slip on shoes and they came out with this shoe so I had to try them, so far they are working great.
