Zappos is the best. This is my third pair of shoes that I have ordered from them. Two pairs were kept, while I couldn't groove with the third pair and sent them back without any hassle what so ever from the Z men. Simple. Easy. Smart. Keen is also the best. The Wichita is a light weight good looking shoe. Keen style and comfort is a no brainer. You won't go wrong if you purchase this shoe. For me, the size was perfect the moment I put them on. Another home run for Zappos. Thanks guys!

None. I'm smitten with Keen right now. They are great!

Just got these great looking shoes and they feel good right out of the box. I've worn several pair of Keens and I know they will continue to get more comfortable. One of the nice things about the Wichita is that it feels light. Will be a great warm weather shoe as well with the breathable mesh. Just a sharp looking and "go to" kind of shoe. It is just a shade narrower in the toe box than other Keens, like the Targhee, but then it is more of a hiking sneaker. I'm going to enjoy this shoe.

I am a fan of Keen, and the Keen Wichitas did not disappoint (but they also did not thrill). On the plus side, the shoes are very comfortable. I needed zero break-in time. The shoes are also very light-weight - much more so than any other Keen shoes that I have ever owned. On the minus side these shoes are not waterproof. It seems that Keen is getting away from their performance modeling and going towards style. These are the first Keen shoes that I have had that was not waterproof. All in all, these are solid shoes. They look good and feel good. I will give them an A. I am marking them down by one star for the lack of waterproofing.

Great quality materials and build. Very light and breathable. My only issue is something in the construction makes the fit kind of odd. It almost feels like the arch support is on the wrong side of the shoe... On both shoes there is some sort of "bump" on the outside edge of the foot support that is pretty uncomfortable over time. At first I thought maybe the insole was bunched funny, but i can feel it without the insole inserted, and trying the insole outside the shoe is perfectly comfortable. Adding some thicker aftermarket insoles helps, but still kind of weird and not as comfy as they could be if it weren't there.

Excellent shoes. Comfortable, light weight, breathe a little in the toe area. Note: the yellow exclamation point on the toe does not indicate they are steel toe/composite toe. They are "safety toe" in the sense that the rubber wraps the toes and prevents injury from kicking things. Works for my need and offers good protection from such events.

True to Keen products, another great shoe! I had foot surgery and could not get any shoe on my foot. Doctor advised me to try a pair of Keen's, and with these I am back on the trails and pounding the pavement! I now have 3 pair of Keen's!

These were great when I tried them on the one time. They fit well, and I liked the fact that they're low-tops. I just needed waterproof shoes and these aren't.

I just ordered my 2nd pair of this shoe. I bought a pair about 18 months ago to wear as a light hiker. I love them so much, I've worn them almost every day since then! These are lightweight, great for walking/hiking and look good enough with jeans for everyday wear. I have wide feet and need custom orthotics and these felt great right out of the box with no break-in required. They offer plenty of room for toes to spread out and lots of support on the outside edge of the sole.

These are great low cut hikers. They do require breaking in, but once broken in they're very comfortable. The one thing is they were shockingly oversized. I started with my usual size, then returned for a half size down and even it is still a tad roomy in the toe.

I bought these for my finicky husband. He's a professional photographer for now 34 years and is on his feet all day. These have become his favorite shoes! So comfy and supportive!

I have had these shoes for 24 days and have hiked every day. They are the best hiking shoe I have ever owned. I do agree with others that there is a weird backward arch support but can't really feel it when hiking. Anyway I like 'em, and Zappos is awesome too.

Very comfortable shoe and fits true to size. I love the way it looks, except for that yellow, yield sign looking triangle on the toe. Who puts a yellow triangle on the toe of a black shoe? Regardless, it will be my regular shoe now.

I've been a return customer of Zappos for years and their consistent level of customer service and expedient shipping never cease to amaze. I've been a Type 1 diabetic for 38 years and am extremely particular when it comes to shoes. The Keen Wichita, like many other Keen shoes I've owned, fit comfortably out of the box, are well made and will be worn daily for walking & hiking. The mesh upper may be an issue in wet conditions, but not a deal breaker. Very satisfied.

10 out of 10 for my feet. They run true to size. The medium width has more room in the toe area than other brands of shoes. I am on my feet all day, and these are among the most comfortable shoes that I have ever worn. I just ordered the Keen Tucson low steel toe shoes, as I am so satisfied with the Keen Wichita shoes!

Wonderful shoe! It is true to size, very comfortable and the quality is great. The one thing I always come away with when I get a Keen shoe is the fact that they just do make a bad one. I have at least 8 pair in my closet now, and it seems like anytime I wear a pair of my old shoes out I look to see if Keen makes something comparable. I have shoes from their work line with steel toes all the way to the sandals and I love them all.

Bought four pairs of these, two for me and two for my husband. Went traveling and hiking for two weeks. They were superb. So glad they aren't waterproof. Buying waterproof shoes of any brand makes them unbearably hot. Easier to waterproof with an aftermarket spray on. We have had to forgo other Keen shoes that we have had for years because we will never buy waterproof shoes again Thanks. Can't please everyone. Now how about making the beige color for men. Very versatile. Thanks.

Ordered these shoes 11am on a Sunday and received them 3pm next day! Are you kidding me?! Zappos is the only way to shop for shoes, period! You don't have to get off the couch to shop! As you can see these shoes are stylish and good looking. Notice the toe box is slimmed down a bit for Keens but still roomy. They were comfortable right out of the box and fit my size 10 foot perfectly. You'll look good in jeans, khakis or shorts. I'm very happy with these shoes!

These are my first pair of Keens. I also bought a pair pf proper boots from Keen, but they were very tight. Much unlike these. The Wichita feels a little roomier then most (all in size 14). I wear these every day for at least 8 hours of work on construction sites. I never have an fatigue in my feet. I wear them hiking, mountain biking, around town, and I can't get enough of them. I'll be ordering another pair of these shortly. I was a Merrell fan before this pair, I'm presently debating between the two makes for a new bootier type shoe. I can not make up my mind.

Love these shoes. One eyelet a little rough and had to fix it but otherwise comfortable from the get go. Great support for my injured foot.

These shoes are very comfy. The entire shoe fits just slightly looser than the size indicates. I actually like that because my left foot is happy. I'm told that one foot is usually slightly larger than the other. The arch support is just a bit better than moderate and is sufficient for a day of walking. I have not taken these shoes onto a trail but they are very supportive for all day wear around town. I've stood in a few long lines (2-3 hours) without any problem. Normally, this would be murder on my feet because I have horrible feet. These have become my everyday shoe and wish they came in a few more color options.

This shoe is not comfortable and is falling apart, not made for hiking on any kind of non man made trail, there okay for trips to Starbucks if if you want to look like you hiked!

I wish I could tell the review readers about these shoes, but I can't I don't have them. It has been nine days since I placed my order.....so much for the 4 to 5 day delivery statement they make on the website, POOR. As I am waiting for my shoes my daughter received a pair ordered off of another site, they were too small so I placed an order to exchange them and they arrived in two days! Zappos your losing a customer here. Back to the shoes, I'll place a review when they get here...whenever that is.
