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.

Hybrid Sneaker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great looking shoe that is very comfortable to wear around town or uneven terrain. Works for casual as well as business casual settings.

A Sneaker Of Delight

I haven't worn sneakers for at least 15 years. My footwear of choice are Keen Rialto sandals and a Keen Oxford style shoe who's name I don't remember. At one time this Oxford style shoe was also made with a bicycle cleat option. To save my last pair of Rialto sandals for the summer & bicycling season. I also needed appropriate footwear for the gym. As a very senior, senior citizen with a limited income I purchased the Keen KS86. Yeah! It was an on sale color. Comfort and function are what matter. Very comfortable. The arch and comfort of of the inner sole is truly "keen. " The outer sole is flexible and its pattern allow for a firm grip on all surfaces (even light snow). Although the sneaker appeared to not have Keen's famous wide toe box, it was only a perceptual defect in my brain. Joy for my feet and a spring in my step.

Excellent Sneakers From Keen!

These sneakers are so comfortable and stylish too. I'm on my second pair. . . . the quality is top notch. I love the roomy toe box. I stand on concrete floors all day long and my feet never feel sore after a shift. . . . my favorite sneakers EVER.

Comy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are my second pair of Keens. I have worn many brands, but these are the most comfortable!!

Comfort Fit . . . . Needs Better Sole Life!

Love the fit and comfort. . . . probably the best fitting Keen shoe ever for me. Soles wear very fast. . . . kinda disappointed that the sole is almost completely gone in less than 3 months. Love the grip and tread. . . just needs to last longer

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.

Ks86 Men's Sneaker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fit is great but after wearing them for a few minutes thet get very hot. Definitely needs more breathing room.

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

Toe Box Too Narrow

Really liked the look of this series until I bought these online. They do not have the usual Keen wide/round toe box, but taper in like many other shoes. Wore them for about an hour and realized they were hurting the outside of my big toe because of the taper. One of my favorite shoes is the Keen Austin, and have had many pairs of shoes and boots from Keen over the years. Wish they would bring back the leather sneakers from years past, loved those. (They looked like Jack Purcells). Went through a couple pairs, so was really disappointed with the KS86.

Comfortable.

They are very comfortable. Well cushioned. Look good. Toe box is noticeably narrower than my other Keens, but my duck feet still fit in it. Only my first day wearing them, and i really hope they last. This was a good buy.

Not The Traditional Wide Toe Box

I own many pairs of keens and wear them daily. Work, play, everything. My kids also wear keens. Typically they fit my foot very well. Unfortunately these shoes are the first that do not fit like a keen and the first that I dislike. The toe box is far too narrow, and this is the first pair of keens to give both me and my son blisters on a very simple hike. Good quality shoes other than the fit is far too narrow.

Comfortable Shoes And I Like The Look.

Dicks always has a good selection of shoes in size 14

Men's Ks86 Sneaker

Lightweight, comfortable, nice looking. A nice addition to my Keen shoe collection.

Men’s Ks86

I have a wide right foot and the sneaker at 11. 5 fits pretty good. A perfect fit would be a 11. 5 for right foot and 11 for left foot. Do you sell different size for each foot
