Everything I was looking for; comfortable, durable and they don’t slip
I love these shoes! I’m a woman who finds men’s hiking boots/shoes fit me better than women’s. I have to use corrective custom orthotics and I need a shoe that holds its shape. I can’t wear sneakers or slippers so I basically only wear hiking boots/shoes. I need a wide toe box and Keens in general have roomy toe boxes. I’ve had Keen ankle high boots for years and I love them but they’re not exactly good house shoes. I wanted a pair of hiking shoes that I can wear only around the house and that I can slip on and off. I tried several other brands before finding these and they’re by far the best and most comfortable for me. The toe box is roomy, my orthotics fit inside perfectly, they’re relatively light weight (compared to my Keen hiking boots but I wouldn’t say they’re the lightest hiking shoes I’ve ever worn. They aren’t the heaviest either.) and they slip on and off easily without being so loose that they slip off on their own. They’re true to size too. I’m a men’s size 9. I bought a size 9 and initially they were snug but they’re leather so you want them to be a bit snug because they’re going to stretch some. I’ve been wearing them for several hours daily; they’re perfect now and very comfortable. It didn’t take long to break them in and I’m sure they’d be too loose if I had bought a larger size. I have worn them without socks briefly (just when I need to answer the door quickly and I’m not wearing socks) but they chafed my skin around the top of the shoes (just under my ankles) so I wear socks with them most of the time. My foot fits fine with tube socks, ankle socks and thin wool socks but very thick socks would probably make my shoes too tight and I wouldn’t want to stretch the leather. The leather is now supple and the shoes are very durable and comfortable. I’m very happy with my purchase and would absolutely buy them again.

It's a good shoe
This is my first time trying Keen shoes. They look good, they're rugged and comfortable. I wish they had more arch support. I suffer from terrible plantar and heel pain, so I require more support. For the average person though, I'm sure these would be great I can easily put an insert in them.I do recommend them though.

Comfortable on long walks
I ordered my normal size 10, and they fit my toebox-wide feet perfectly. They are great in the rain and sun. My feet cramp with shoes that don’t fit quite right. Not with Keens.postscript:I just returned from a month-long trip. My Keens stayed dry and comfortable throughout.A couple of stitches came undone on the upper right side. Keen paid me the price of new moccasins, though I said I could get them repaired for $25. So, now I will also have Keen Brixen moccasins for colder weather.I did manage to sprain my thumb when I first put them on. I hope Keen suggests using a shoehorn, at least at first.

Perfect after a little stretch, remember these are actually leather.
I absolutely love these shoes. They are the most comfortable to walk around in for long periods and no rubbing. They can be tight out of the box, but I've found for me (size 12), when I get a new pair I just shove a water bottle into the shoe for a few days to stretch it a bit. After that it fits perfectly and never have an issue for the life of the shoe. Proper way would be to use a standard shoe stretcher, but same deal. Don't write them off just because they feel tight up front or uneven. Real leather means they won't be perfectly consistent after sitting around in unknown climate, it's on the user to break them in.

Not new as ordered.
The shoes are great and although I ordered new, these are either used or have been returned (missing packaging material and box was damaged).Though I really like the shoe, for almost $102.00, I would’ve preferred to receive new (as ordered). I’d return, but needed these and don’t have the time.
