This is the first time I have ever bought this brand and in particular this style of shoe, and all in all I am very pleased. I wear a 10B and there is a nice, wide foot box so my toes have plenty of room to breathe. I can see if you have a very narrow foot, these shoes might not be for you because even though they have a small buckle, they don’t get much tighter. It’s a loose, comfy fit with plenty of length in the back and even though I was afraid my heel would hang off as sometimes they do in other shoes, this was a great fit. Granted, they are not the cutest shoes you will ever wear, but I have gotten some nice compliments from women who are now more into comfort than style. I am 50, about 5’9” and pretty rubenesque and yet these shoes give me wonderful support. You can easily take out the insole and put your own orthotic in if necessary and no one would ever know. I am on my feet sometime all day and it’s nice to wear shoes that don’t make me cry. I picked these because I needed something other than my Birkies when I go out to meet people... I have not been disappointed.

Third pair of Keens. Had originally ordered the Winthrop slip on, which I loved, but had to return because the stitching came out. The Berkley is a bit snugger across the toe area than my others. This translates into a less clunky look. They have not necessarily stretched out as much as I thought they would even with daily wear. Would have liked the back to be a bit higher. My right heel tends to hit the edge. They show off hand knitted socks nicely. I was also looking for better slip resistance as I had worn the bottoms smooth on my last pair of Keens (worn virtually daily for 3 years!). These are typical of brand new shoes for slip resistance. The Winthrop's were marked slip resistant and were clearly better.

fantastic!

I've got bad feet - plantar fasciitis comes and goes - so I wasn't too convinced when a friend suggested I try Keens. She specifically recommended the Berkeley which I found online at Altrec. I ordered them essentially sight-unseen, and hoped for the best. I am AMAZED at how much my feet love these shoes! AND they look great! The comfort of the soles really has blown me away. I'm on my feet a lot at work, and I climb 4 flights of stairs multiple times per day. I have yet to have painful feet at the end of the day when I wear these Keen Berkeley's. I'm back, ordering two more pair of Keens, and can't wait to be surprised all over again. Keep the new styles comin'!

I bought these shoes in both colors. I wear orthotics for my high (and age related problems) arches. I also have a bunion on my right foot, which makes finding comfortable shoes a problem. This is a rather recent and aggravating issue. These are the shoes I put on first thing in the morning and slip out of them at night. Two words: odor eaters. I know; gross, but as I'm wearing these constantly, I find that product very effective. These shoes are, for me, a godsend.

MY FAVORITE BRAND OF SHOES

Rating:*****
I was so excited when I found KEEN's Berkeley shoes. They are just like their Calistoga style, except they are like a clog version. I love the way they fit, the arch support is perfect. Both styles compliment so many outfits that I wear and I continually receive compliments on them. I have both styles in black and brown and I hope KEEN soon offers other colors. These shoes by far, are the favorite shoes in my closet.

My favorite everyday shoe

This is now my third pair of Keen Shoes, and I just thrilled to have them in a new color. They are very comfortable and roomy in the toe, so you can wear them with or without socks. I wear them to work, since I am on my feet all day, and they are just heaven...my feet are not as tired at the end of the day and I swear it is because of the these great shoes!

Very Happy

I bought both the black and brown pairs of Keen women's Berkeley Shoes for my wife and she loves them. Her comment after having them on all day was not only how comfortable they are but that the Berkeley's are the first pair of shoes that she can remember that did not give her blisters after wearing them. She is a teacher and has not had another pair of shoes on since they arrived to the house.

Keen Berkeley - I have just used my Keens for a couple of weeks and find them very comfortable. My feet are barely a B width, are flat, and they are skinny from top to bottom. In order for them to fit, I had to put a shoe insert into them and I wear socks. This is not uncommon for me. I have shopped for hours in these and they have been very supportive.

Berkeleys are noisy! I love the look and fit of the shoe with both skirts, shorts, or pants. I love being able to step into them. This is my 4th pair of Keens. I hate the embarrassing squeaks and grunts the insoles make when your foot tilts inside of the shoe. Despite this complaint, I shall remain brand loyal. Perfect for being on my feet all day. No more plantar fasciitis.

Krazy For Keens! This is my second pair of Berkeleys. I liked the first pair so much, I ordered another in a different color. Very cute, comfortable, and easy to slip on and off. I usually wear an 8 1/2 or 9, but needed an 8 in this style. This was my 12th pair of Keens. I highly recommend you try a pair. And Zappos service has always been great!

I have been a bit disappointed with these and would have returned them, but I was wearing them around the house and forgot to take them off when I ran out the door to pick up kids from school! It may be because I have a high arch, but the top leather (where the little flowers are) is a bit stiff and runs into my foot in an uncomfortable way. The support is pretty good, but not as good as my Danskos, which I should have just stuck with, but the rubber soles and the flowers got me. I do wear these (mostly for short walks or bike trips to the store) but I can't use them when I have to walk for any length of time.

Look like clown shoes on my size 10 feet - I thought these shoes were super cute in the photos, but when I got them, I discovered that they just don't look cute on larger size feet. I have several pairs of similar styled shoes (slip on Mary Janes) that flatter even my size 10 feet, but these just make me look silly. I think they would be fabulous looking if you have smaller size feet, but wouldn't recommend them for size 9 or 10.
