Keen KS86 Sneaker - Women's

I bought these on clearance at a DSW in America. I immediately wore them walking 4 miles and I do really like them. Comfortable from minute one. They seem to be water resistant too? Cause I walked into a puddle and my feet didn't get wet. I have a low arch/flatter feet with pronation and these are very comfortable for me. They are stylish too. I love the deep trending as well. However, the sizing is confusing. I am a women's 10. 5. but these say size 9US/42UK. I think this is going by their gender neutral sizing?? Why are we doing this? It makes sizing unnecessarily confusing. I want to their website cause I wanted to buy more of these but idk what size to get now. Their sizing guide says women's 10. 5 is a UK 41. Their women's 11 is a UK 42. And their gender neutral is US 9 /UK 42 which is what these shoes are. But all their sizing on the shoes are not in the gender neutral category. It's all women or mens. Idk what size I need to get!! I can't answer if they are true to size or are wide or narrow because I have no. idea what size these shoes truly are with the "gender neutral" size on them.

I used 3 coats of leather conditioner on these before going outside, but they stained almost immediately from just water/dew. They look terrible after only about a month of wear. :(

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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 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 keens and really wanted to like these but they hurt the back of my heel and I just never got to break them in. They are sitting in my closet taking up space unfortunately

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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.
