Reviews

Too Narrow

"I’ve had a few pairs of Keen shoes. I buy them because the wide fit, they’re really comfortable right out of the box. But these are too narrow and too long for the size. Disappointing, as I liked the style."

— Matt (2/5)

Okay shoes but some flaws

"This is the first Keen shoe that I am a little disappointed in. On the plus side they look good, fit well and traction is great. I have found the cushioning of the sneaker to be lacking leaving my feet sore after a few miles. The material is not breathable at all, making them warm, not what I expected for a non waterproof sneaker, summer will be brutal. Additionally the upper material is firm, it makes a popping sound each step I take, pretty annoying. I own a pair of low Keen Hightrails that are better in every way, disappointed in these."

Great sneaker, really comfortable straight

"Great sneaker, really comfortable straight out of the box."

The toe box is not

"The toe box is not wide enough"

— Ionut A. (3/5)

Looks good feels harsh

"Shoes felt very harsh underfoot to me. I can't imagine how others rate these shoes as comfortable. Shoe runs long."

— Scott L. (2/5)

Great for my feet.

"The KEEN Men's Ks86 is the best Keens I've had in a while. The shoe construction is old school, and these old feet appreciate something, cuz I can wear these standing for 10 hours straight at work. Please keep this design in production, because it's my new go-to sneaker. Tread is great, though occasionally squeaky which is to be expected with so many rubber cleatettes, toe box is supportive, but not as super wide as other Keens tend to be. Material is sturdy and cleans up. Arch support is there without being too much, and definitely not flat 'natural' (I don't want to stand for hours on concrete with 'no shoes' feel. ) Again, please keep this line in production!! And maybe bring in some other versions! Thanks"

— Dave A. (5/5)

Solid!

"I'm very selective and love the fit of the K86 - bought the Black and Birch on Amazon to save a bit. I'm springing for some upgraded Sofsoles and love the grip and feel of this Keen! Bought my first Keen's via LLB."

— JD J. (5/5)

Monster comfy

"Love Keen period. These new sneakers did not disapoint AND fit my FASION vibe!"

— Stephen M. (5/5)

Amazing comfort

"I like the look of these, but they are amazing at keeping your feet fresh. I wore these a full day in Disneyland where I did 15,000 steps, probably half of which I had my 3 year old on my shoulders. I didn't even think about my feet till after we got home and my wife commented how sore her feet were, and I was like whoa, mine feel perfect! Definitely wouldn't have been the case in my previous sneakers. I think that says it all!"

— Ian P. (5/5)

The perfect sneaker!

"Fits perfectly and I have not been able to say that about any purchases from other brands in YEARS! Thank you"

— Brian B. (5/5)
