The best shoes ever!!! I have owned some keen shoes before & loved them. These keen jaspers are the most comfortable shoe I think I have ever worn. Right out of the box they felt like I’d broken them in. I liken them to wearing lace up thick socks. The first thing I did after purchase was walk 3 days for 14 hours each at Disneyland with my 10 year old daughter. At the end of the day my feet were fine. Thanks keen & Zappos for providing me with a wonderful shoe & top notch service.

Fun, comfy runaround shoe! This is a great shoe!!! I got a pair for my husband and when I saw them, I liked them so much I ordered a pair for myself. They look great with jeans, khakis or workout clothes. I've already received lots of compliments. One word of warning--I found that this particular shoe runs incredibly small. I usually take a 1/2 size larger in Keens than I normally wear, but in this instance I went a *whole* size larger. On the whole though, another hit for Keen!

Another winner - The footbed on this model is not an anatomic one and is somewhat flat… maybe it just takes time to break in. This is my 10th or 11th pair of Keens. Have wide feet and a wide heel to forefoot. Most shoes are too narrow in the heel to forefoot area, Keens do a much better job. I am very pleased with this shoe and may buy another pair of Jaspers in a different color. Styling is great.

Almost barefoot...almost.

Very little sole between foot and ground, just the way I like it. Size 10 fits my 9 1/2 wide feet perfectly. They don't seem like they would hold up well even as light hikers, but around town they are great. Time will tell I guess. I have 2 pairs of Keens now, these along with a pair of Venice sandals and both fit me the same. Looks like Keen has won another loyal customer.

Great Shoes - I don't know how Keen manages to make casual shoes that feel like tennis shoes, but they do it, and do it brilliantly. These shoes were comfortable right out of the box, with no break-in time needed. They looked exactly like the photos on Zappos.com too. This is the third pair of Keen shoes I've owned, and each pair fits exactly the same, no matter the style. They look cool as well.

KEEN makes good shoes! I'm a fan of KEEN, and they fit my feet well, so my review is biased. If you have worn KEEN sandals or shoes, and liked how they fit, you'll love these shoes. I've worn them almost every day since I got them in the mail. The long lacing insures that you can tune the fit of the shoe. I really like these shoes!

Great, low sole, extremely comfortable !

Rating:*****
This is as comfortable a shoe as I've put on my feet in decades. It feels like you have nothing on your foot, in a good way. The sizing feels fine. Even though there are lots of laces these are easy to get into because of the lower profile. There's NOT a lot of cushioning, which I like and believe is better for my foot health.

Just not quite......for me.

Rating:****
Based on length problems (short) from others, I opted to try a 13 on my 12 foot. Not bad, but the height & narrowness of the toe box made the material rub the tops of my toes. No doubt this one works well for many others, just not for me. Looks like it would last a good long time. Great price from STP too!

yet another great keen product

Rating:****
As always with Keen you have to pick a pair half size bigger that you'd normally wood. Overall shoes are great, except for a little stich, that I had to trim, so it wouldn't rub against my feet. Also, the sole is somewhat thinner than I expected so, by no means theese are hiking shoes. Perfect for casual/city wear, though

good buy

Rating:****
the shoe was a good buy with the additional 30 off, leather is very soft and comfortable. the only bad thing is that there is no arch support but can fixed by buying an insole with the support but have to get one size up. overall is a good buy at [$]. got 2 pairs.

Negative Reviews:

Not Up To Keen Standards

Rating:**
OK, I am a huge Keen fan. I have 8 pairs because I work on set 12-14 hours a day standing. The Metatomical footbed insoles that are in many Keens are not here, and that is the problem. The Jasper shoes are comfortable, for a while, but for long hours of wear, no way. In fairness, I don't think these shoes are meant to be as wearable for long hours as say, the Briggs or Bandons, or others with Metatomical footbeds. Buy these for style. Buy other Keens for long wearing comfort. Yay Keen!

Not Quite

Rating:**
I'm a huge Keen fan. In fact, I have five or six pairs in my closet already. These just don't make the grade however. They looked cool online, but in person the gray is way too green, and the approach/climbing shoe lacing just looks awkward. The shoe also has virtually no support. Unfortunately, these are going back.

KEEN idea, Only fair execution

Rating:***
When I first tried this shoe on, I really liked the low, thin sole. It's very comfortable. After wearing it a week or so I noticed my right knee hurting, perhaps from my heels siiting lower than on my other shoes; I can't say for sure. The soles seem really positive on rocks, or until you're on a wet surface. Unlike other Vibram products, these soles and water are a bad combo. They are wholly inadequate on wet surfaces; very slippery!
Bill Brout at Mountain Gear on 10/07/2009

Too narrow for a Keen

Rating:***
My husband loves Keens. He has a wide foot, and they have always fit him well. When I opened the Jasper Shoes by Keen, I could tell the minute I opened them that they would be too narrow, and I was right. He couldn't get his foot in there, and they are a 10.5 which I always get him. I had to send them back.

Sittin' around shoe

Rating:***
Good-looking; almost a cross between a skate shoe and an approach shoe. Very soft uppers make it pretty comfortable, but lacks significant arch and footbed support to make me want to keep it. Might be good as a shoe to hang out in a hammock in, but won't carry you too far.

Nice looking and very comfortable

Rating:***
I just got them and they fit great right out of the box. Very comfortable. Not really sure how they will stand up in the durability department, but no loose threads or ungluing seams yet.

They’re okay - Good looking but as far as support and comfort (cushioning) not so much. If you're willing to sacrifice comfort for looks, then this is your shoe. Not typical of keen.

OK for Keen

Rating:***
they feel great when you put them on but I immediately noticed that they didn't have the usual Keen foot-bed w/ the arch support I've become accustomed to.
