Customer Reviews KEEN Charleston Mary Jane

Love, love, love these shoes. I wear them all the time. So comfortable. Well worth every penny. Two causes of concern though. I normally take a size 10. I had to purchase a 10.5 (I think this may be common for the Keen brand?) Once I got over the shock and disappointment of having to go up a 1/2 size, I am so glad I got "over" my trepidation because this shoe rocks! Very comfortable. The adjustable strap is a little disappointing b/c no velcro or stretchy part underneath buckle but I get around that by leaving it slightly big so I can slip my foot in and out easily (must have all slip on shoes in my life!). Those two items are small in comparison to I wear these all the time. I do wear mine with socks though. I am overall not a fan of wearing shoes without socks. One unexpected warm day recently here in Chicago, I took my socks off to wear these shoes and my toes became black inside the shoe. :-( Even still I would highly recommend this shoe. My first Keen shoe. I will definitely buy more of this brand in the future.

I love these shoes. My dog chewed up my first pair. (When will I ever learn to not keep fallin for the banana in the tailpipe?) Anyway, when I tried to purchase a new pair, I was told that not only do they not have my size or color, they aren't even being made anymore! Devastated, I took a chance and went to Zappos. Not a problem. Got em for less and they had my color size. got em in a couple days too. They shipped right away super fast at no extra cost. And made me a preferred customer too! Guess that's from all the shoes I buy because my pet is the destroyer of footwear. Zappos ROCKS, dude. Thank you thank you thank you! xoxoxox

Ordered a size 8 (normally wear a 7.5) as Keen's run short. Fit was perfect. Just the right amount of arch support and the ankle (cut low) and strap cushioning allow for no blisters on first use. Toe box was wide enough for my bunions. Highly recommend for people who work on their feet long hours as I do.

I am a HUGE fan of Keen shoes; I have many pairs. This shoe, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!! They are narrower in the toe area and still fit just as comfortably. I didn't have to break them in at all; they were comfortable from the first moment I put them on. I love the look of them and would give them a TOTAL FIVE STAR rating!!! Thank you Keen!

I have 2 other pairs of Keen shoes, but this one I had to return was disappointed - shoe didn't feel as sturdy as other Keen shoes. The front of the shoe isn't as wide as some of their other shoes and I have a wide front foot - so, I had to return b/c the shoe rubbed on a bunion.

These are classic Keen shoes, very comfortable and true to size. Zappos is incredible with delivery, returns, and customer service. I can only wear Keens, and Zappos is the only place I buy them. In two words for both Keen and Zappos: absolute best!

A great casual shoe! I love this shoe, but it is a little wide. However, once I put my orthotics under the insoles, they fit just great. I wear a size 9, but ordered these in a 9.5 and the length was perfect.

Comfy and light - I'm really happy with these shoes. They're great for walking because they are so light - they weigh practically nothing. I'm not too crazy about the rubber going over the toe, and the stitching is pink, but I'm happy I bought them.

Charleston Mary Jane- Just What I Was Looking For - I ordered three other pairs of shoes of different styles, sizes, and brands, returning all of them until I put these on. So comfortable! I did not order a half size up in these and am glad I stuck with my regular size. I wear these all day, nearly every day. The toe cap is not as "elf-like" as some other Keen shoes and is more dressy. The black color is not a deep, deep black; more of a dark dusty charcoal. I am very happy with the water resistant feature-- In terms of comfort, I like these better than my Keen Newport sandals, which, oddly enough I am not crazy about. Zappos service is just great.

I love the presidio but wanted a dressier looking shoe for work. This is true to size and nothing fits like Keen.

Works with orthotics! The insole can be removed, and the shoe is deep enough to accommodate a fairly thick orthotic. Nice looking and fairly comfortable, too. Seem well made. I'm pleased with them.

Would love to have more - When I first put this shoe on it felt a bit short, but wearing for a while they are just fine. I am a merrell shoe lover, but I think the keen has them beat. This is my first pair of Mary Janes. Get lots of compliments on them. I need to use my orthotic in all shoes. Don't ever believe that you can use any kind of shoe to put an orthotic in... I have heard some Dr's say this. NOT TRUE. I am sure more of you could attest to that. I have narrow feet so I just use thick socks. They are a bit loose with just light socks but still ok... I am looking for some more keens... will keep buying them... Not too crazy about the look of the sandals. Have to look for a Keen that looks a bit better for the hot weather.

Girlie shoes for big footed big striding women - These shoes are feminine and walkable as well, unlike many current choices w/heels or platforms. My Keens are also waterproof. They buff off clean but look cute, not schlumpy.

Very Comfortable Shoe - Great comfortable Mary Jane from Keen. This style did come up smaller than the other Keen Mary Jane styles do. I did have to re-order a half size up from what would normally fit me. Other than that, I am looking forward to getting lots of wear from this show this fall/winter.

Cute shoes - I like the look of these shoes, a little dressier than lace-ups but not too formal. I like the comfort of these shoes, but they don't have quite as much cushioning as other Keens I've worn. I tried substituting Dr. Scholl's gel insoles and found that they were less comfortable than the insole that came with the shoe. On days when I'm willing to sacrifice a little comfort for convenience and style, these are perfect.

Perfect! I've been wearing Calistoga’s for awhile, but I've lost a lot of weight in the last year. When I bought a new pair, they were much too wide. I decided to try the Charleston and I've found my new favourite keen. These feel better than any of the other keens I own (seven pairs) - they arch support is excellent, the width is comfortable without being huge, and the low profile makes them look a little smaller and more delicate looking than the Calistoga’s. I'll be getting a black pair of them next week!

Perfect for Prescription Orthodics - I was looking for a stylish, everyday shoe and was thrilled to find this one! From reading other Zappos reviews, I was afraid that my normal size would be too small, so I ordered a pair in my normal size and another pair a half size larger. Not only did my normal size fit, but my orthotic works perfectly inside. My podiatrist told me to wear a slightly higher heel for my plantar fasciitis and this shoe's heel height is perfect, especially with my orthotic. I am really enjoying the fit and style of this shoe and would highly recommend it. How can you go wrong with Zippo’s great customer service?

Very comfy casual shoe - I wear between a M and W width shoe and this one fits the bill. There is plenty of room in the footbed and it isn't too short. The arch support is very comfortable and not hard like some other shoes. The rubber sole is non-slip too. They say the color is black, but I'd call them off black with a subtle red stitching throughout the exterior of the shoe. Nice walking and standing shoe.

These are great shoes and they run a half size smaller than normal size. I love the color, they are comfortable and stylish and good for your feet.

Finally a cute shoe for size 12! I love this shoe! It is a 1/4 size too small in the toe but I love them so much-I will deal! I have been waiting so long for Keen to make 12's. What a difference it is from the men's 10.5's that I have been wearing.

Charleston Mary Jane - When I first wore the shoes around my house, I thought it felt too big and not particularly comfortable, but decided they were worth keeping and taking a chance with. Keen shoes wear very well for me. Now that I have worn them to work all day, they feel comfortable and fit better. I have to wear Keen shoes a few days before they feel true to my foot.
