Why We Like The KEEN KS86 Shoe
A new style for 2024, the KS86 has reimagined an early KEEN running shoe by transforming it into a casual suede sneaker. That blend of traditional trail traction and contemporary sneaker comfort adds up to a versatile everyday shoe, and it's PFAS-free to keep forever chemicals out of the environment.

love the grippies
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these shoes! The no break in time I expect from Keen plus grippy bumps on the sole that helps when walking up old marble steps in Paris or steps down into a BART station. Really nice looking too.

First Pair of Keen Sneakers
I’ve only worn Keen shoes for several years; they’ve been very good to my aging feet and knees. This is my first pair of sneakers. I was looking for something with a bit more cushion than my usual Presidios. I love the firm cushioning of these sneakers, but was disappointed that the toe box isn’t the typical Keen width, such as with the Presidios. That said, they’re the best sneakers I’ve ever owned.

Great shoe!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shoe passed the test! I’m taking a trip to Ireland and wanted a good shoe I could wear all day and still be comfortable on my feet all day.

Adorable ankle bone killers
Really wanted to love these but they brutalized my ankle bones on both sides to the point of bruising through thick socks. I’ve never had a pair of shoes hurt my ankles like this. The wide toe box is perfect and I’m so frustrated that these don’t work.

Love these shoes!
This is the second pair my daughter has owned (she grew out of the first pair). These shoes are very comfortable and are durable. Highly recommended.

Traditional not trendy saves the day !
Wow ! A life saver ! I am going on a vaca to the midlands of SC and then the Outer Banks of NC and my English hiking boots had just given up the ghost after 8 years of faithful service ! I should mention I’m a serious walker ( about 4/5 miles a day is a comfortable stroll for me ) I go at a very fast pace and I’m a heel striker and have high arches and a wide toe box ! I’ve also just gotten over my 5 th lumbar spine surgery ! So I’m super sensitive and very aware of my bodies balance and how one thing can affect another ! So I was desperate to find a good hot weather , stable glide ,decent arch support with a wide toe and a sock liner that doesn't feel like I’m walking on cement , shoe ! And a shoe that isn’t pulling my heel down ( which after back surgery is not even imaginable) unless you want to end up in the ER! And as a bonus doesn't look like look like you on walking on a Unicorn marshmallow cloud or your GrandMoms bunion boot ! Keen retro style sneakers to the rescue ! Attractive yes , but it the fit that is the key ! A higher heel drop then most sneakers , a hiking or walking shoe tread , a slightly softer sock liner but a good solid foot feel ( no cute tricks to try and make your foot or body do something it doesn’t want to do ! ) Just a classy looking , well fitting well preforming shoe , just enough midsole flex to respond to what you want to do but you won’t slide in these if it’s wet ! Good old fashion ties , none of that slip in nonsense ! And the most surprising is that exchanged a pair of Keen ladies Tar ghee 4 that were suppose to be perfect for all my issues but had no arch at all and were not only heavy but pulled my heel down to where after a few miles I had to come in and remove them for exhaustion of my back pain ! These shoes ( my Keen sneakers ) at least for my summer into early fall have saved my season and my vaca ! Will be looking for hikers for fall but these are going to be my go to walking , everyday exercise walks and my Carolina exploring shoes ! In fact I’m trying to get my size in every color ! Thank you Keen for these ! And for anyone out here that’s interested these sneakers also have a comfortable but secure heel ! I usually wear a women’s 10 wide ( D) but in most Keens all I need is a regular 10 ! Don’t hesitate to try these if you are in search of a great sports / walking / athletic shoe that doesn't look or feel trendy !

Versatile White Sneaker
I ordered these as a travel sneaker. I wanted a neutral that could walk, hike, be casually worn with almost everything, and was ready to go when we planned our next trip. I did order a half size down and they fit perfectly. There is room in the toe box but they still look sleek. They have enough cushion, but I wouldn’t describe them as “cushiony”. I feel solid and stable wearing them all day. Love the style. I hope I don’t wear them out before we go again.

Awesome
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are a great fitting shoe really enjoyed wearing them. Very comfortable for long periods of time seem to be really durable. I would like to see if I can get these shoes in different colors.

Just what I wanted
I love my Keen sneakers and these are no different. I do replace the insoles with firmer ones with more arch support.
