    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.

    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.

    I'm wearing my Keen H2 sandals right now. I like them better in the winter with wool socks, than in the summer. I get hot under the ball of my foot in these. So I only wear them in summer at the river or when I don't care if my feet stink!

    That's kind of hard to answer - your best bet would be to try them on.

    I take a 41 in Dansko clogs & sandals, and 41 in Eccos. I got the Keens in US size 10 which according to their sizing is the equivalent to Euro 40.5. So my guess is the Keens run reasonably true to size. In women's Sidis (which run notoriously small) I take a 42.5.

    If that helps any ...

    *stamps feet*

    I want my REI dividend now too! Guess they take a little longer to make it to the East coast

    *end of tantrum*

    I'm still intrigued by these - I'll probably try them, provided they carry them locally and I can see if the fit is good Of course, I'll have to be really careful to keep them out of cat range - mine love to eat elastic

    How about putting insoles in them? That would also alleviate any stinky problems.

    Great idea Zen! I find that I have the same problem with my Keens. Mine are just a smidge too big and that would definitely help. Especially in the summer when socks are not necessary.

    Same here, Queen - except I have four pair of shoes - no boots. I wear them all the time.

    I don't know if it gets cold or wet where you live but the Keen Targhee boot is light as a feather and dry dry dry!

    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.
