some people love Keen. I found their platform too rigid for my feet.
They are well made shoes and I sigh every time i see my Orange keens that i can't wear anymore. Do try them.

Anybody tried these?
Just got an email telling me what my REI dividend is and with the 20% coupon I'll have enough to get them. But my feet are picky. I would go to the store and try them on.
There may be better things to blow my div on.

Mimi, do you not wear a stiff bike shoe?
Also just realized I am not being specific enough. I mean the Commuter Bike sandals:

I just bought a pair of the Keen bike sandals from TE. Although I haven't gone out on any long rides on them yet, so far so good on my trainer. They're pretty comfy.
If I commute in to work tomorrow (15 miles each way), I'll let you know how they work out.
I use Eggbeater pedals & cleats, btw

Yes, I wear SIDI's, but I don't hike in them!
My feet are rarely too hot, so I have not gotten bike sandals yet. I was just referring to the foot bed in the Keens i have owned. My feet are not flat, just different from the "keen mold" whatever that is. I am very jealous of my girlfriend who CAN wear the keens, they are really cool.
So if they fit well, the ones you are looking at; I can guarantee they are a good shoe.
I have three pair of Keen summer shoes and one pair or Keen winter boots (I'm wearing them right now). I love Keens and find them incredibly comfortable...that said they can get a little sticky and stinky in the summer.

I am envious of those of you who can wear Keens. They are always too "high" for me (i.e. there is a lot of room between the top of my foot and the upper of the shoe). But they're really cool.
Mimi, what size are your Keens, if you don't mind my asking? I may be interested if they're the right size.

honey, no way are your feet as big as mine! These are size 9's, they are a slip on shoe, not a bike shoe.

So close! I wear a size 8 in most shoes. Though, I think the Chaco sandals I have are either a size 8.5 or 9. Hmmm... [Rubs chin, lifts left brow] If you are willing to part with the Keens, could you bring them to Knot's so I may try them? Just concerned if they may be wide enough for my hobbit feet.
Oh! oh! I could probably just go to REI and try the ones they have there. That would give me the perfect excuse to try the cycling sandals! 'Course if I do that I may not be able to walk out of there without them.

I've been doing so well not abusing my credit card of late. Now I'm wanting multiple pairs of Keens.
How are the women's Keen commuter sandals sized. Do they run true to size? I see TE does not carry them in 1/2 sizes but REI does. The size charts on REI and TE seem to differ from one another. I'm usually a 9.5. The only Keens I've owned are flip flops from STP and I really like them. The sandals are on my birthday list.
