I really wanted to love these, as they check almost all of my boxes: Wide toe box, no toe spring, casual, minimalistic style, can be dressed up or down... Unfortunately the "arch support" is pretty extreme and presses into my plantar fascia. I have a pretty average arch (not high or low), so I found this REALLY disappointing. Since the foot bed isn't removable, there's nothing I can do to adjust them. I personally don't subscribe to the "barefoot" craze (the notion that less supportive footwear is better for foot health)... But the idea that our shoes should be more "foot-shaped" makes so much sense — and these Keen KNX's generally adhere to that idea without compromising too much on structure and support. What I really want is Altra-like shape & comfort, but with a bit more support and cleaner, classier style. It seems like that should exist, but most shoe companies just aren't doing wide toe boxes... And the ones who are, only make gaudy, neon-splattered monstrosities with minimal cushion or support. Keen came SO close with this one — but that super-high arch is gonna hurt, and that's a deal-breaker. :(

Love these shoes! I have already purchased two pair and when the cream colored ones come back in stock I will buy them. I love the wider toe box and I have high arches and these were a perfect fit for me. Super comfortable.

Good looking shoe, but in my usual size my toes were cramped up against the inside fo the shoe. The width was right, but the length was too short. The insole is also completely glued in, and not particularly padded- an issue if you wear orthotics.

Material is soft and flexible out of the box. Sole is rather flexible, would not be good for use on rough surfaces like hiking, nor for people with foot problems, but for most feet it is nice.

Very comfortable with excellent arch support. Run small - had to reorder 1/2 size bigger - in the past the size 10 Keens fit me.

I've only worn these for a few hours but they seem very comfortable, light-weight, and fairly easy to get into and out of. Both hands are usually required but the compensation is that, once on, they fit well and don't come off when you don't want them to.

Stylish and comfortable. Like most Keens, they break in nicely after a day of wear.

Beautiful shoe but a bit undersized.. I am hoping to stretch them out so they are more comfortable.

light durable comfortable shoes. They run short for me. Toes hit the front of the toe box and at my size there are only whole size increments. I need to size up to a 12. 5 but it doesn't exist.

I ordered 3 pairs of women's shoes, which were returned because none of them fit well in the toe box despite being "original fit". I then ordered 3 pairs of the same shoes in men's sizes, original fit that also had the same problem of being tight across the width of the ball of the foot and toe room. None of the shoes chosen or other style options were available in a "wide" or I would have tried them. It's obvious that my go-to Keen's are no longer what they used to be. They no longer have an ample toe box or any arch support. I will have to find another shoe brand from here forward.

Very lightweight casual shoe. No arch support but after inserting an insole, the shoe is much more comfortable. Nice style. Keen used to have more casual shoe/non sneaker styles similar to this. I have multiple Keen casual shoes from the past that I have worn in trendy places that did not allow sneakers.

Shoe feels great, I wear them constantly. But after a few months the wear on the sole is flat on the ball of my feet. For the price, this just feels like they should have taken longer to wear through as much as they did.

I bought the men's KNX leather in black, my normal Keen size is a 8 but was told to go half a size larger. Had to send it back because my toes hit the end of the toe box so I ordered a 9 and the fit nicely, although I do have to use a shoehorn to slip my feet into the shoe. They are extremely light in weight and comfortable, wearing around the house to break them in.

I really like these shoes. They're very comfortable and they look great. My only complaint is this; the sole is noticeably wearing already. I'm worried that they're not going to last.

I really want to like these shoes, but unfortunately, the durability falls short. I purchased a pair last year and, despite moderate use, they've developed holes in the midsole before even reaching a full year of wear. For the price, I expected better longevity. Poor quality.

I like the sneaker and goes well with different pants. My only suggestion would be to give the heal more stability.

Before ordering this product, I had been VERY happy with three pairs of Keen sandals and one pair of Keen low-cut hiking shoes. This model does not have the arch support of my other Keen products, so I returned them.

Still trying to find the right size. I've increased the size twice and still too small. Gonna give it one more try. Love the look and feel of the shoe, but it fits very different than other Keen shoes of similar style. Love the Mosey Derby's I have. Wish those were still available.

There is a gap between the laces and the toe box so the shoe wrinkles up and looks quite odd in that area. Otherwise I would love these shoes as they are a nice soft leather and I can put my orthotics in them & they look great-simple clean lined. I hope that they make the lacing closer to the toe so that these shoes can actually be adjusted for the width of the persons foot. They would be absolutely ideal with that small change.

For a show that's meant to be wider than the average shoe, my pinky toe is running up against the seam of the toe box. Also, the arch support is very uncomfortable.

(Same review as for the KNX Chukka since they're really the same shoe. )
They're really comfortable. And I have "delicate", quite bony feet; I always have to add insoles to make shoes wearable, but not with these. They look sharp. And added bonus: I wear a size 13 and am often sort of embarrassed that my feet look so big. But something about the design of these makes my feet seem quite a bit smaller. Score!
