Great work shoe! I work on a cement floor cutting meat in a grocery store, 8 to 10 hours per day, six days a week. They get wet everyday, but my feet don't. My last pair of these lasted me 15 months under those conditions. This is truly a great pair of shoes!

Great comfortable shoe. I work on concrete all day and these are so comfortable. The tongue was a little stiff the fist few days but broke in well.

Love this shoe. I wear these everyday and they are simply the most comfortable shoe I own. They're durable, good looking and comfortable. I'm an elementary school librarian and I'm on my feet all day working with kids or squatting to shelve books. Nice and versatile. I'll buy Keens again for sure.

Terrific shoe. I need rigid support in the mid-foot and room for custom orthotics. These are great for walking, although I will buy the next pair a half-size smaller. Keen is my favorite brand.

These shoes feel great and so far are holding up very good. Some people don't like the style and say they look like Dutch wooden shoes, but I'm okay with that!

These are very comfortable shoes for me...I'm on my feet a lot in all sorts of weather. The soles are great for slippery snow and ice conditions. They age well and like most Keen shoes I've owned will last for many years. Zappos is great for the no shipping policy in case they don't fit.

One of the most comfortable shoe I have ever owned. Great quality footbed and outer construction held up after 1.5 years of almost daily wear. Just bought my second pair. You can't go wrong with this shoe.

I work 11 hour days on cement floors so I need a good sturdy pair of shoes. I have found that anything made by Keen works great. Very comfortable and lightweight.

The most comfortable and stylish shoe I have owned (I have a black and a brown pair). I've worn a pair all around Italy and another pair that I wore in Czech and Austria in the winter. They are my best traveling shoes and great for hiking around on the streets of Europe!

Great, classically styled shoe. I hope Keen never stops making them. Wider than most shoes, but that suits me fine. I use them with higher arched insoles, as they seem a little flat for me with the provided foot bed.

I have been wearing the men's Keen's Boston for years. For me, they are the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn! They are nice and light. Great support. I have high arches and my feet love 'em! My feet also enjoy the somewhat wider fit. I would caution others to order them a half size larger than normal. I normally wear a size 9 shoe, but order these in a 9 1/2. There is no break-in time needed. I waterproof them and wear them all the time. I wish Keen would remake the Boston Chukka! Additionally, the heels on my Keen's wear out, so I always buy them in multiples. The rand on the toe, which some people may not like, keep them from getting scuffed up. They are my all-time favorite shoes. I've probably have had about 2 dozen pairs. My yellow lab loves 'em, because when she sees me lacing them up, she knows we are going for nice long walks.
I'd also recommend:
Only the Boston 2, because the other Keen's narrower and not as comfortable.

This is my first pair of Keen shoes. I am impressed with the quality of the construction and the comfort. I have wide feet and these shoes have plenty of room. The footbed has plenty of support and does not aggravate my periodic plantar fasciatis. The styling is sort of funky, but is perfect for outdoor activities. I have become a fan of Keen shoes!

I am very happy with my transaction with Zappos. The Keen shoe was as expected as I have had Keen shoes before and find them very comfortable and made well. I had to make some size adjustments and free shipping both ways was a great benefit. The speed of the arrival of the replacement shoes was impressive! I called Zappos around 10:00 PM, and the shoes were on my doorstep by noon the next day...amazing! This is the stuff that makes for great PR for a company. I am amazed that more companies do not treat customers this way, as word of mouth recommendations hold much weight, and we certainly remember when friends report unacceptable customer service from some retail establishments. I have shared this delivery speed story with many people, who were also much impressed. I will buy from Zappos again.

This is a great shoe! I am fearing that Keen may be discontinuing this style, since it was hard to find. It is one of the few shoes that I can actually put on my difficult-to-fit feet and have no real break in period.

This is among the best shoes I've ever bought. Fits my wide foot well, comfortable from day one, and wears like iron. Keeps water out, has good traction and cushioning. Just bought my second pair because one of our dogs chewed the top of the heel on both shoes. I've worn them a lot over four years or so, and the uppers are still in great shape except for dog damage; the soles show some wear. As for style I guess you have to say they have a style all their own! Basic leather shoe with that seam down the front. I'm considering buying pair #3 just so I know I will have them a few years from now when I want a new pair, in case I can't find them then. - a woman who prizes comfort and value.

After enjoying a couple of pairs of Keen sandals, I thought I understood how great they are, then I stumbled upon a pair I thought would be great for work. And they are awesome! As a flight attendant on my feet, it's all about my footwear. And these are the best work shoes ever! I purchased the Boston II's for my recent Parisian vacation, and again, great choice. I am now, completely addicted. And Zappos? I am amazed by their greatness. After ordering my vacation shoes, I realized, I was going to miss their delivery. Customer service canceled my first ordered, and sent another pair to my folks as I was visiting them before heading off to France. And they arrived on the same day the original purchase was promised. Oh, and upon my return, I received a hand-written note from Valerie, the customer service rep, just saying 'hi' and hoping I had a great vacation. A hand written note!

Comfortable out of the box. Roomy toe box. Can wear with mid-weight socks. Black version is slightly"dressier" but still looks fine with jeans.

I am a woman and wear this shoe every day and love it! It fits me better than any of the woman's styles because of the large toe box. This shoe is for everyone. So comfortable.

Love these shoes. Bought my first pair last June for a trip to London. I wear them all the time. I wore them out. Very sturdy with good arch support, and felt like I owned them forever from the first time I wore them.

As a person prone to bouts of plantar fasciitis, l have found Keen's Boston II to be my shoe of choice. The leather cushioned insole is very high quality, as is the entire shoe construction. Zappos price on Keen shoes were lower than other sites, so I ordered a pair. The service was excellent! My shoes shipped the day I ordered them, and arrived within four or five days!

None, this is my third pair of Keens!

One of if not the most comfortable and best shoes I have ever owned. Over the past 7 years these have been around the US, but on several continents as well. Look great, hold up well, waterproof, it's now that they are starting to look a little scuffed so I'm ordering another pair. I am very happy with these.

Great fit. Comfortable from day one, that broke in feeling right out of the box. My fifth pair of Keen shoes. My first pair of Boston IIs. I was upgraded to one day shipping by Zappos.

I love these shoes. Zappos had my size 14 to me in 1 day with standard shipping. They feel great and my toes have lots of room. I've had them for about a month now and I wear them at least 4 days a week. Nice traction and front bumper. Kind of has that dutch clog look, but in a good way. I dig 'em!
