I have several different types of Keen shoes (Newport sandals, Taos shoes, and Targhee shoes). For all of them, I had to order a half size smaller than I would usually take. I usually take a size 9 shoe, but in Keens I am a size 8 1/2.
I think it may have something to do with width. My feet are very narrow, and Keens have a bit more width than most shoes.
I love my keens! They have GREAT arches.
But the "bumper toe" is not the best for biking if you already have a bit of "toe clip" when you ride.

Snap - did they send you a men's shoe instead? Maybe a men's version got put into a womens box. I've found that 9 women's seems to correspond pretty closely to a men's 7 in Keens.

The label in the shoes says 7 - I don't think the Isabella comes in mens.

Very wierd. Is the UK size 7? (all my keens have 4 sizes listed in them) I'm just wondering how you ended up with the wrong size shoes. Yeah, definitely take them back to REI!!

I tried on a pair of Keens at REI, and the salesguy said he thought they ran small. I had to buy the Seattles I wanted (the urban assault Mary Jane style) one size larger than I normally wear.
When I was trying them on, another woman was doing the same, and absolutely could not stand them because of the high arch support. She said she had very flat feet. I have very high arches and they support my feet like no other shoe. Go figure.
