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.

Gift for my Mum
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My mother loved them, she said they are very comfortable. She will use them to go to the gym and to go on long walks.

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.

So comfy!
These sneakers are so cute and comfy. I did though have to buy a half size smaller as they run a little big.

The Shoe I’ve been looking for!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shoe is so cute in white and tan. A great neutral color with style. It’s stylish AND, it is a well-crafted, super comfortable athletic walking shoe. I’ve been looking for months, and this is THE SHOE.

Grab a Pair!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It feels like I have been searching forever for a comfortable ‘tennis shoe’. One where the toe box is wide enough, one that does not irritate my plantar fasciitis, one where my feet do not go numb or feel like they are on fire. One that hits my arch in the right place and does not rub my heel. Thank you Keen for remembering how to make a shoe. We all do not want to walk on 6 inches of foam! Love the retro look and colorways. Sad that I found this shoe so late. Made well with great traction. Thank you for the extra laces and finishing the shoe (those with cross section foam showing on the tongue know what I am talking about). Made with the environment in mind too! If I could give 10 I would. Oh and one more thing, I have not had to size down to a 7. 5 in eons! I have worn an 8 for the past several years due to other companies making shoes smaller and my foot splaying with age. Another positive point for Keen. Keep up the good work.

Great experience, I wear these all the time!
I have to admit feeling less than happy with Keen shoes over the last few years. The Venice in leather has been gone forever and it was by far my favorite summer sandal. Then the true wide toe box shoes and boots seemed to disappear. However, this sneaker definitely celebrates those of us with wide toe boxes and bunions, so I'm happy to say I've found a new favorite shoe. Now, Keen, if you could just bring back that Venice. . . . . . . . . .
