Austin Shoes

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.

Extremely stiff shoe reminds me of shoes I bought 40 years ago. Bought about 3 weeks ago and takes about 50 hours to break in; the shoe appears to be built to last and provides great support. I wear them 8-10 hours at a time. Wide toe box, a typical feature with Keen is roomy and allows for natural toe spread. They don't have the built-in cushion of a sneaker or pliable walking shoe and the removeable insole is flat and offers no arch support but that's the case with most shoes these days, easy to replace with an insole of your choice. Lack of a lug sole is a plus; I get tired of tracking mud and stones into the house. Overall, a great shoe, hope it holds up as well as anticipated.

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.

Great shoe for light hiking or just leisure wear. Well made with medium heft--not too clunky. I added gel inserts for additional comfort.

What an awesome shoe. The support is excellent, the toe box is perfectly wide. Wish it was less lippy in the front to look more formal. Size is true to my size. Haven’t hiked with it cause I want it for casual dress, but probably would hike reasonably. Its not as flexible as a true hiking shoe. Liked it so much I bought the other color.

Best shoes for comfort, stability, strength, rain, and look good in any situation. The wide toe box provides enough room where other brands are lacking. The front raised rubber helps with toe space, and provides protection. I was dropped a 37” tire on my toe and didn’t feel anything. Their high arch sole that is sold separately is another best in category. Would like to have the option to buy either their standard arch sole or their high arch, however it’s worth the additional price regardless.

I have previously had this exact shoe three times before and wore them for years each time. They fit great and were very comfortable. This time I wore them every couple of days (alternating with a different style of Keens for heavy rain days: I live in the Pacific Northwest) for just three months, and starting last week, whenever the pavement is even slightly wet my socks are immediately wet! Not stepping in puddles, not even actively raining, just walking on wet pavement. First time a supposedly decent pair of shoes have "worn out" and started to leak in so short a time. No longer recommend.

Son anchas de delante, por lo que son muy cómodas. Desde que he descubierto la marca Keen y la forma que le dan a los zapatos y sandalias, cada vez estoy más convencido que serán prácticamente los únicos zapatos que compraré.

Great shoes! I'm on my third pair and will buy a fourth if they still make them when the third wears out. I have D width flat duck feet but these are quite comfy.

The leather finishing isnt as expected as it looks as if it is robbed with dust or used even. For the first time to see size EU 49 equivalent to US17. It should be US14 or 14.5. Just a good offer i got it.

Buen precio y muy buena calidad. Las tallas vienen bien

Un peu bec de canard, qui ne me dérange pas. Super confortables, bien finies, agréables à la marche...but recherché !!! Très satisfait de ces chaussures pour un premier essai après mes Timberland et mes Columbia.
