Customer Reviews KEEN KNX Lace

It's a nice quality Shoe. Wish I ordered it a half size up to have a bit more spaces for my toes and more ease putting the shoe on. I'm a bit disappointed it arrived with some yellowing on the side and bottom.

They fit but the arch was too high. They were not going to be comfortable to wear all day.

I usually have a little wiggle room in the size I ordered, but my toes were crammed in this model. More importantly, there is irremovable arch support, which is a big bummer. I have flat feet and this shoe has a major hump just stuck in the middle of my foot. It's a bummer if you're looking for a wide toe box casual shoe that's adaptable to your foot.

These lack the support I’ve come to expect in Keens. The soles feel very thin- almost like walking barefoot, which is definitely not what I’m looking for when I’m buying Keens. I augmented them with a leather arch insert which seemed to help. Styling is ok - they don’t have the enlarged toe caps you see in most keens which can look a little goofy IMO. Perhaps because of this they do feel a touch small.

Soles feel very thin with little support. Almost feels like you're walking in just socks. Also the innersoles are not removable, so you can't easily swap them out for something with more support. A casual around-the-house shoe, not something for a walk or hike. I expected better from Keen.

It is hard to evaluate the comfort and fit when it was almost impossible to get my feet into these strange shoes. The opening was very small, the heel material was fairly stiff, and even with a shoe horn I struggled. Once I had them on, I found no support at all to curb my pronating feet. I am at the stage in life where I refuse to wear shoes that do not allow me to wiggle my toes. Keen shoes with this profile profess to have barefoot properties, but that is only for those who can tolerate a narrow to medium width. That leaves a lot of us out. Thanks, Zappos, for allowing us to experiment with different brands. I will have to strike Keen from my list.

I really liked the appearance of this shoe, but the footbed is uncomfortable. The insole is permanently fixed, so the shoe does not lend itself to using a substitute insole. I bought this shoe because I liked its style so much, but I should have accepted the other reviews that complained about how uncomfortable this shoe is. I had to return them.

I wear size 8 1/2 or 9, my whole life. This shoe in a 9 was surprisingly way too small. Even more surprising, in a 9 1/2 my big toes smash against the front inside corner of the shoes! A unique and unpleasant experience. I have owned a dozen pairs of Keens, and have 3 other pairs I wear now - they fit me (in a 9) better than any other shoes. If that is the case with you, these may not fit you - they do not seem like Keens at all.

They do not fit

Width was good. Too short. I usually wear size 13 and sometimes 12. I ordered a 13 and it was too small. Zappos does not have a 14 in stock.

I was sent men’s size 8 instead of women’s, and of course I lost my $20 off and they are out of stock now. The shoes are great as I own the other 3 colors if that tells you anything but this mistake is very irritating.

Zero arch support and no way to remove insoles for my orthotics. No-tie stretch lace system is horrible and I'm not going to spend the time to install the normal laces. Probably because shoes are too loose, they are uncomfortable because my toes are hitting in front. I own / have owned many keen shoes with no issues. These are unacceptable.
