Customer Reviews KEEN Explore Waterproof

I like the look of the shoe but was expecting something more roomy across the widest part of the foot. Keen is usually very comfortable in the toe box but this shoe was a little narrow. Maybe I will return them and try 1/2 size larger. These shoes were better than the Keen Terradora WP I also ordered. The Terradora was VERY narrow

Firstly I got these overnight even in the midst of this pandemic- unreal- anyways so I usually buy keens in a size 7, got these to wear to work as a nurse . They feel a bit long and also the toebox is even roomier than usual- but with my custom orthotics, they fit fine despite wiggle room in the front. I don't want to deal w returning sting the lockdown so I will wear them. One silly comment is that they make my small feel look large I think because of the heel which has extra sole extending from the back of the foot. I wouldn't want to hike in these as they seem more like stiff casual shoes for indoors- also not alt of flexibility in the sole - kind of blocky. Overall a nice shoe with some drawbacks.

Keen shoes use to always have a great footbed and arch support . this shoe is flat inside and before you put it on you can see it is leaning to the inside . when you walk in it you are walking with your ankle bent in . Not for me

I really wanted these to work - they are ultralight and would make a terrific shoe for traveling. But, unfortunately the size 9 was a bit short and my foot slid forward in the 9-1/2 so my toes hit the end in them also. I have been having this issue with multiple brands lately. I think the width was pretty true, maybe even a little narrower than usual for Keen but not right for my in-between feet.

Great idea--light hiker/sneaker--very good looking, comfortable except the front is just a tad short--not like a full 1/2 size, just enough to make my feet feel cramped in them. A bit narrow, but will probably stretch with wear as all Keen shoes do. But shortness will not stretch out. Heel very roomy, so I did not bother to size up as it would be too big there. But worth a try--they are beautifully made and comfortable otherwise. Hope Keen rethinks the last on this one.

The shoe was very stiff right out of the box. Perhaps with longterm wear it will feel broken in. I decided to return because the shoes didn't feel good on my feet.

I am so sorry that Keen has changed their general fit. Used to have roomy toe box and snug fitting heels. Perfect for me. Now shoes are shaped like the box they came in! I will continue wearing my 3 pairs of old beloved Keen boots!

This shoe looks great and I like the waterproof feature. The problem is the pleat which attaches the tongue to the body of the shoe is positioned so that it sticks out and rubs on the side of my foot causing friction and pain.

I love Keen shoes but lately my luck has not been so good choosing the right shoe for me. The length is fine but way to big in the heel. Even with thick socks my heels slip. Will be returning unfortunately

Totally regret buying and want the old Keen fit back. Something is just off with these shoes. When you put them on it’s like they are two left feet- unnaturally straight and stiff. I guess if you had super straight feet without any arches at all...? Keen used to be the go-to for my family because of their roomy toe-box,but they’ve altered their fit and it’s like they’ve swung the other direction. Super disappointed.

The shoes fit well, are waterproof, and look great too.

These are pretty much what I was hoping for. Almost a hiker, like a heavy tennis shoe: versatile. I have really liked Keen's wide toe box & this style cuts it close, but does work in allowing enough width for my big toe without having to go a size too big, which never works out well.

I wear 8 1/2 medium and they fit perfectly. (Note, I also wear Skechers 8 1/2) These might possibly be the best and most useful shoes I have ever worn. They are waterproof, they look very nice, they are sturdy and have held up well in daily use and also when I am doing chores in a barn. Just wipe them off. Very, very comfortable for long periods of standing and walking. I bought them on sale a while ago, and wish I could find more KEENs on sale. I love them. I thought being waterproof, the main reason I bought them, I would have limited places I would wear them. Wrong, they look great with regular daily wear of slacks, or jeans for shopping or travel.

Very comfortable and although a touch on the bulky side we liked the look / style.

I'm pleased with these shoes. I walk dogs and needed something that would keep my feet dry and these work well. Size and fit are perfect.
