My favorite Shoes!!! Perfect for Duck Feet! |
| Rating: |  |
| I wear a size 6.5 and have a foot about as wide. Having this issue limits my shoe selection. I usually end up buying up to an 8.5 just to fit my duck feet into them. Keens are the best thing to happen to my feet! These are so cool and absolutely comfortable and they are really my size, I don't look like a dwarf in clown shoes. This was my first pair, I bought them about a month ago and have now purchased 3 other pair of keens! Please note, I do purchase a 7 because these do run small! I was worried about spending this much on a pair of shoes, but decided to take the leap and will buy keens and no other from now on! |

Great shoe after the break-in period. |

| This shoe is pretty wide even though it says Medium. It's good for me since I have wide feet. I bought a half size bigger and they fit perfectly. The shoe is a little hard unlike a regular tennis shoe, definately not a sneaker since it makes noise on my hardwood floors. I think they need an insole for cushion. I wore them on a two mile walk and my feet were really sore on the bottoms from the hard soles. I wore them in the rain and they kept my feet warm and dry. I bought the black and really like the way they look with jeans. They are my "go to" shoe whenever I wear jeans and I'm definately buying a second pair in a different color. |

cute comfy shoes |

| I've only had these shoes for about a week but I love them! They are super comfy, I've worn them to work to stand in for 8 hours with almost no foot/knee pain, which is difficult for me to get from a shoe. They're great for walking. Also awesome for rainy/soggy days; the high sole plus a coat of scotchgard keeps your feet dry. I think they are really cute and have gotten a few compliments but they are kinda clunky (clunky-cute). I ordered my usual size (6) and they fit perfectly. The toe box is wide but that just makes them more comfortable! I also got them in green, my favorite color, which makes me happy! Love them! |

love the Keens |
| Rating: | |
| I bought these for my wife and she loves them. I love keens! Since my first pair three years ago, I have bought nothing else. I am super hard on shoes, and the keens hold up very well, but more important is that they feel GREAT. I can wear them all day and hardly notice I have them on. One thing I have noticed that makes a huge difference is that they seem fitted 1/2 size to large. Normally I wear 10 1/2 in men's. My first pair of keens were 10 1/2 and felt just a little sloppy. My next pair (and every pair after) were 10's and they fit perfect! |

| I had fallen in love with my Newport Sandals which were a recent purchase, so decided I would try another Keen shoe. When I found the Altrec website and read the reviews of women who had tried the Portola I knew I would have to try a pair. Then we took a trip to San Francisco and the only two pair of shoes I took were my Keens. Walked all over and never had foot problems, which I usually have. Thank you! And I ordered the 1/2 size larger as the reviewers suggested! I am sold on Keens! Comfort and support! |

Keens! |
| Rating: | |
| This is my third pair of Keens. I usually wear an 8-8.5. My first pair of Keens was a 9, my second an 8, and these an 8.5 (but I might have ended up in an 8 if I'd tried them on.) My other pairs didn't need to be broken in and these definitely do. I ordered the Brindle thinking they might be passable for my dress-casual work environment, but I don't think they'll pass. They're more like a sneaker on steroids. Still, they make me smile. (Yes, there's extra room in the toes. They're Keens. That's the point.) |

I love these shoes! |

| I normally buy shoes at a size 8 and sneakers at 8.5...everyone said to get 1/2 a size bigger in the reviews so I wasn't sure if I should get the 8.5 or the 9. I went with the 8.5 and I love them! I love to walk around the city and they are comfortable to walk with or run and keep my feet dry in crazy rainy weather! I targeted 3 pairs of shoes I would replace if these were as good as everyone said and they are! And they are cute! :) |

Best Shoes I've Ever Owned |
| Rating: | |
| I just purchased my second pair of Keen Portola's, and look forward to sporting them around town or at the office. They are extremely comfortable and practical, especially for those who spend long periods of time on their feet. There are some who will say the toe box makes your foot look chunky, however I have found the opposite. I wear a 9.5, and family members have noted this shoe makes my foot look smaller. If you are looking for comfort, Keen is the way to go for most people. |

| What a relief to fine these shoes.. I was involved in a bad head on collison 4/8/05. I had almosy lost my right foot.Know shoe would fit me and very uncomfortable.........My sister bought a pair (oh how ughly!) Now I have a pair, they support my ankle and alot of room for the mashed toes. Even my othro Doctor love them and took the name down. Thank you so much for giving me pain free walking again,even though I'm still in reh, They sure help my balance. |

Sizing different than normal KEEN sizing |
| Rating: | |
| Great shoes, hard to figure out sizing. I own a pair of Keen sandals and Keen boots, both in an 8.5. In other brands I usually wear an 8. I ordered an 8.5 in these Keens thinking the brand was consistent. They were huge! I exchanged them for an 8 and they fit so much better, maybe even just a tiny bit too big. Other than the sizing issue, they are cute and comfortable, and will likely be durable like my other Keens. |
