Customer Reviews KEEN Boston II

I bought this shoe last year looking for something to wear with jeans, I thought it was a great looking shoe and it was moderately comfortable when I tried it on. After two weeks the shoe had two issues. First, extemely hot. There is zero ventilation in this shoe. Second, the shoe smelled REALLY bad like a chemical-almost like super strong urine (not smelly feet). Whether it is how Keen treats the leather or (as my dealer suspects because they confirmed the issue) the antimirobial treatment inside the shoe-major issue. People could smell my shoes while eating dinner-happened twice. So I had to exchange them. Really a shame because they are great looking.

This model is to me the classic style and comfort that makes Keen shoes my favorite brand. I wear them to work and out at night; they never let me down. Also the rounded toe design makes even my size 13 foot look small when compared to other brands. Thanks for another great shoe!

I've been wearing my new Keen Boston II for a few weeks now, and couldn't be happier. Other people have commented that they squeak, but so far mine have been quiet; I also found the Boston's to be true to size.

This shoe is phenomenal. I live in it when I work. Do a lot of standing and walking and feel great at end of day. A movie star referred this shoe to me! And told me to go to Zappos to find it. This is a lasting shoe; this is my second pair. My first ones, ~ 3 years ago, are still in great shape, wanted to have a pair to hike in and one to work in. I have stopped wearing tennis shoes to work; these are better. Love this shoe.

This men\'s Keen Boston II is a good option for women trying to replace their own worn Keen Boston I or II shoes. The women\'s shoe is no longer available (sob!), but I am finding the men\'s to be an acceptable variant.

I tried a variety of different Keen shoes before going with this version. Every Keen style I tried on was ridiculously comfortable, but a lot of the soles didn't look like they would hold up over time (which is just stupid since they are a pricey shoe). These had the sole that I think will last a while. Great arch support. Roomy. I have narrow feet, however, so if you have caveman feet, take this review with a grain of salt. I'm a chronic toe-scuffer, so the exaggerated rubber toe is ideal for me. The only drawbacks I can think of are that the cuff area took a couple of weeks to break in and that there were no color variants to choose from. I'm guessing that's because they are built to last. As far as the style, it's very eye-of-the-beholder. My wife likes it. I like it. The shoes are comfortable as can be. Highly recommend.
