Review: I think they are worth the $. - These are decent shoes, they are pretty durable, I have an old pair I use for mountain biking and have had to glue the sole back on a few times but they aren't really made for hiking and mountain biking. You probably will have to glue the sole a few time because it will come apart after some wear. I still love this shoe though, If they had a one piece sole they would even be better. Lots of room in the fore foot area if you like that. I still give them a 5 because they are better than those foam soled shoes that are only comfortable for a short time, comfort is good with these for a long time. My old ones are still comfortable and I've had them for about 5 years with lots of hard wear, hiking biking walking and even working some in the yard. They are made of full grain leather so are durable, the sole will wear through after lots of wear but nothing lasts forever in this world. That's why I give them a 5 because I've already had a pair of them before.
Review: First impressions - I bought a pair of keen shoes many years ago and I was really satisfied with the comfort and quality, they lasted a long time. My only complaint was that they were a little heavy. Recently I had the need to buy a pair of comfortable walking shoes and began researching my options and reading reviews of the few that I liked. I decided to buy the Keen Austin, and I just got them yesterday. My first impressions are very positive overall. True to the size, I’m a 10 and sometimes depending on the brand I have to buy an extra 1/2 size up, but not in this case. The last pair of sneakers I bought were the adidas Terrex Swift R2 GTX, and even though I bought a 10 1/2, they were still a little narrow for my feet. The Keen Austin feel wide enough, but firm. I read in some of the reviews that the shoes take a little long to break them in. After walking a few hours with them I would agree with that. They are comfortable, but they are not soft (yet). Today I’m hitting the parks in Orlando, so I’ll be able to provide a more accurate information about them later. The temperature today was 46° F and they felt comfortably warm. So far so good. Update: The same day I got my shoes, after wearing them for a few hours, I decided to return them and get them in 1/2 size bigger. My toes were touching and rubbing against the front, and the width of the left shoe was too narrow. I’ve been wearing the 10 1/2 now for 2 days and they fit perfectly. I’m still in the process of breaking them in. But as far as comfort I still give them 5 stars.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are these very breathable? My husband is worried about his feet getting too hot.**
A: Going on 4 years later, and the answer is the same: NO, THESE ARE NOT BREATHABLE.  Your feet will sweat and it's not recommended to wear these every single day without giving them a day in between to air out/dry out.  It's a foot fungus incubator, as well.  It's due to the fact that the leather upper is pre-oiled and "water proof" (they're resistant, BTW - not water proof).

**Q: Where can I get replacement laces and insoles for these shoes?**
A: Hello,
  Like most companies, Keen does not offer replacement "components" for their shoes.  The lace length is 36-45", which you can usually buy at drug stores or grocery stores.  The insoles pull out of the shoes easily, but again, you'd be buying a replacement "over the counter" .  We like the Pinnacle style by Power Step.

**Q: Are these shoes good for those with high arches?**
A: I have high arches and Keens are the only shoes I can wear without an orthodic.

**Q: I wear a size 12 4e, and i was wondering how wide are these shoes in say a 11 1/2 d? could anyone let me know if they can about this width? jb-nv**
A: I wear a 15 2e to 15 4e athletic shoes (Nike, Adidas, Rebock, New Balance). Keens tend to run wide. I bought them in a 15D and the fit perfectly. With my Keen hiking boots I went with a 2e so that I can utalize wool socks in the winter months.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great...I think
*by S***G on October 15, 2012*

I purchased these from Amazon after trying on a different Keen in a retail store, I figured that Keen would be across the board with sizing. These aren't available where I live. I ordered a 12 and they were a half a size to large. I sent them back and exchanged them for 11 1/2. I received these and they fit perfect. The box toe is something to get used to, I am coming from Merrell's and never owned Keen. Here was the big issue. I have never had an issue with Amazon like this, maybe this was a fluke. The right shoe looked like it had been worn and something splashed all over the shoe and it stained. I tried to wipe clean with a wet rag, no go. It was very noticeable. I called Amazon already having a Prime account, I requested these be 1 day shipped for this mistake. The rep placed me on hold for a few minutes then came back and said she will email me the results. I advised her that if it can't be 1 day, just refund. SO, in a few minutes I received an email saying they refunded me. I think this is pretty sorry on Amazon's part. Blessing anyway, the chocolate color was available on another site for 79.95, a full 30.00 dollars cheaper than Amazon. Bottom line, watch for used products to be shipped. I read feedback when I was shopping for buzzers recently, customers were receiving used buzzers. This order of mine was fulfilled by Amazon, someone didn't check both shoes prior to re-shipping them out from another return. And you may want to do a quick web search before buying. You may find a blessing of your own. What little time I had the shoe on, it seems comfortable. I can tell there is some breaking in to do, I would hope they break quick. The box toe is roomy, but not too much just make sure you get the correct foot length fit. They seem like they will be rather comfy. Another plus is the footbed is removable and not cloth. I have found non-cloth insoles wear longer, and fend off odor causing bacteria better.
