Our original climbing-inspired outside sneaker. As comfortable heading to the crag as it is cruising around town. With two sets of laces to switch up the look.

I purchased these for an upcoming trip to Europe and have been wearing them for the last week to break them in. The insoles are so thin it feels like cardboard. I wore them all day yesterday and have the worst blisters. They also run incredibly large (at least a half size).

I bought a pair of the KS86 sneakers for a trip to Morocco because of previous good experiences with Keen footwear on long trips and because of the great tread. I was NOT disappointed on my trip. I wore these shoes every day for two weeks with extended walking days on slippery cobblestone surfaces in the souks, through the desert, over ancient ruins, through the airport, you name it. I never lost my footing once and they were amazingly comfortable. I loved them so much that DURING my trip I ordered another pair in black for an upcoming river cruise in Europe in the fall!

I got my shoes, put them on & went for a walk. I had no issues with them. I like the bigger toe bed. I've worn KEEN shoes for years . Love them!

I wanted to love these shoes so much, I truly would have returned them if I didn't wait a few months before trying them on a wearing them (my bad!). Beware they are so much more narrow than regular Keen shoes!

I love my new keen sneakers! They are very comfortable and lightweight. Reasonably priced. I only wear their products for sneakers or sandals. I highly recommend this brand.

I bought the KS86s after coming to the store to try on the hightrails for hiking and they rubbed the crap outta my foot. I wasn’t in the market for a new sneaker and needed hiking shoes but ended up taking these home instead because they were so much more comfy than the hightrails. They are wide enough that they don’t hurt my bunions and have a nice amount of arch support without it being overkill. I have worn them for many miles and they don’t feel like they’ve worn out in the slightest yet. I have them in the Birch/Star White color. Would love to see that same color way with a contrasting K in the same color as the sole, and just some more feminine color ways like some of the hightrails would be cool too.

This style is so attractive and very comfortable. I ordered my regular size and it’s a perfect fit

I love these shoes. I own several colors and wear them everyday. I would love to see them in a medium to dark brown as well. 😉

These are comfortable and hold up well as this is a shoe I have bought several times.

I have worn Keen boots for years. Tried others and nothing else works as well. I wanted some more casual walking shoes and have tried everything. Whenever I know I'm going to walk a lot I wear my wonky ugly boots. Then I decided to look at the Keen site. I ordered these and they fit exactly like my boots. I am in heaven!!! I have gotten so many compliments on them. . . even my daughter!

This is the second pair of KEEN shoes I have tried (the Hightrail hiking shoes did not work for my feet). Overall I'd say these are sturdy and well-made. My first impression when I tried them on was that there was extra room in the heel, and that they rubbed up against the front of my ankles (my ankles sit pretty far forward which is sometimes a problem with shoes that don't have a big enough curve toward the front). These were roomy enough that I was able to put an arch support insole in them to raise my foot within the shoe a bit and that seemed to help the rubbing of my ankles. However, I noticed that if I walked more than just across a room (say outside walking the dog) then my heels would slip away from the back of the shoe. Thankfully that hasn't caused any blisters, but they don't fit as snugly as I'd like. Still, these are better than the other KEEN hiking shoes I tried, so I will stick with these for now.

Bought these for my mother who has been having issues feeling off-balance & unsteady in all other shoes save her Keen hikers. These solved the problem where all of the other expensive recommendations could not. They look great as well! Next pair will be for me.

I love the shoes. The fit is awesome. I have a narrow heel and the fit feels good when I walk or glide. They are pretty.

I love these sneakers. The toe box is wide enough to fit my forefoot which makes for very comfortable walking long distances.

Bought on sale and that’s the only thing I liked. The fi my is odmd with a large heal cup. The materials an odd feel to it and are SLOW to break in. The mix of lace holes and thread thru tabs are hard to adjust. This was a complete miss for me despite liking other Keen shoes.
