Overall, I love these shoes. I researched a lot, looking for a comfy pair of mary janes that I could wear with anything, that weren't too 'girly' and that would help my back pain after toting and running after toddlers all day. These shoes are just perfect on all counts.

I bought the Port Royale color, which is pretty accurately depicted in the picture as a burgundy-purple. They are a bit darker than the photo, which is fine. And the color seems to match everything in my hippie-style earth-tone wardrobe. Too, they look great with everything from cargos to capris, and I could see them looking great with funky-styled skirts or dresses too.

I'd hesitated to buy these because some of negative reviews on a number of sites, particularly concerning the top of the shoes above the toes and the back of the shoe being sharp/rough.

The area on the top of the shoes, above the toe is not as spacious as the width of the shoe seems to demand. It felt odd the first couple of wears, but this area does stretch within the first few days to a comfortable level - or at least it did for me. My feet are tending toward narrow in every dimension. If your feet are unusually shaped, or wider at the top I can definitely see where this area might not stretch enough to be comfortable.

The heel of the shoe is not perfectly soft and does not have cushioning. If these shoes were to fit tightly, this could be irritating.

I am between a 7 and 7.5 size-wise, so ordered a 7 based on other reviewers comments. I probably could have gone smaller, but I think comfort would have been a sacrifice. The 7.5, which is more my normal size, would have been too big in this shoes; they do run at least half a size big in my estimation. The shoes fit me very much like slippers, they feel like slippers too - and they slide on without being unbuckled - because of the extra room in them and the wide width. They are very lightweight, are comfortable for taking walks around the neighborhood, and chasing after two toddlers outdoors. At the end of the day, the back pain I was experiencing with my old shoes (Birkis) is no longer there, so they definitely have a great deal more support than the clogs I'm used to wearing.

If you're looking for comfort and versatile style, and if your feet don't typically demand specialty shoes, I don't think you could go wrong with these.

My only gripe is that, like all things, they are made in China. For $75.00, I was hoping they'd have not been made in a 3rd world country by slave labor.

I've been looking for a good all-around travel shoe and finally found them. They are comfortable enough to wear all day; I'd say they are as comfortable as my sneakers but much better looking. They work well with shorts, capris, pants, skirts, and (in a pinch) slacks.

I usually wear a 9.5, but wear a 9 in these. They were a little tight on my heel at first, but were stretched to fit my foot after the first wear.

My only "complaint" is that they get pretty smelly (I don't wear them with socks), but I tossed them in the washer - they survived with no apparent damage and are much less offensive now!

Greetings form a Keen fan. I was so excited to have finally gotten these shoes and in the orion blue, but they literally cut into my heel - achilles tendon area - not cool. I am going to give them a good dose of leather softner/conditioner. I really hope it works. I have never had any problems with Keen products. I only gave it a three out of five stars just for that reason.

I bought these recently because I was looking for good, durable, comfortable shoes for work in some color other than black or brown. Unfortunately, I do not find them to be as comfortable as I had hoped. There isn't nearly the amount of padding I expected, the upper is stiff and rubs the back of my ankle and overall it just feels like it's cutting in to my foot in odd places.

I'm hoping they will break in a little and be better... but if I had it to do over again, I would go back to my Eastlands.
