Customer Reviews KEEN KNX Lace

I have been searching for a long time for some casual soft leather sneakers that are both cute and comfortable. Finally, I found these! I love them so much I bought them in two colors. I have a bunion on one foot, so finding a shoe that is wide enough and flexible enough is challenging. These fit the bill! NOTE: I am a reliable 7.5 but these shoes truly run a half-size too small. The size 8s fit perfectly. Also, while there is good arch support, there is not much cushioning. I purchased some cheap foam inserts, and they provide enough cushioning for standing/walking for long periods of time. Highly recommend, and to KEEN: Don't stop making these (but perhaps correct the sizing and add some more cushioning as well as additional colors)!

Great shape that doesn't squish your toes, soft leather and nice overall. Unfortunately they don't offer enough protection from the ground for my super-picky feet. The endless search for comfortable shoes continues.

Not the great Keen that we've grown to love. I'd say zero arch support and insoles are glued in (didnt try ripping them out so dont know if it is possible). Would prefer the covered toe of the old keens (which have lasted me many, many years). The leather feels soft and the color was decent, but without support and the Keen styling Ive loved, they were returned. If they would put back the OLD insole with great support (and removeable), and add the toe cover, I'd try them again.

I have Bunions - always need wide shoes. These fit okay. I typically wear a 10, but my toes went to the front of the shoe. Returning for a 10.5

These felt very comfortable out of the box, but a too little roomy in the midfoot. The toebox part felt like the right amount of room for my toes, and the heel was fine. They're interesting to wear, a bit lower in the heel than the toe, not quite as pronounced as my old Earth shoes from the last century (which may not be for everyone, but I really loved). I was going to swap the stretchy laces for the included regular ones to see if that would help make them fit better on my foot, though I hated to lose the slip-on aspect of the shoes. So before doing that, I tried making the elastic lace on each shoe a little more snug, and that did the trick. I'll spend some more time with them around the house, but for now they seem to be a keeper.

These are great cute but casual sneakers. I wanted something a step above tennis shoes, and these fit the bill. Wider toe box which I need. As others have mentioned, not a lot of cushioning, so you probably don’t want to walk miles in these. I’m on the search to find these in another color!

I love these shoes so much I got them in two colors! I've been looking for a nice casual "lifestyle" soft leather sneaker for ages now, and nothing I found was both cute and comfortable until I found these. I have a bunion on one foot, so I need shoes that are flexible (soft leather) and that have a wide enough toe box. These shoes fit the bill! A few notes to make these shoes work for you: I'm normally a very reliable size 7.5, but these are a true half-size too small in length, so I recommend ordering a half size up; the size 8 fits me perfectly. There is nice arch support, but not much padding on the sole, so I suggest buying some cheap, simple foam insoles; those give just enough support/cushioning to make these shoes comfortable for extended standing or walking. And to Keen, please don't discontinue this style! I'll want to buy more in years to come!

Loved the shoes but they were about 1/2 size too small so hoping the next size up fits.

Not enough arch / foot support. I love the feel of these, wide roomy toe box, super soft leather. Love the look - very cute trainers. Very comfortable on my wide feet. However, the barefoot style means there is minimal footbed support, and because the construction is glued you cannot easily fit your own orthotic. Very sad to have to say no - too pricy to not be able to wear for more than brief outings.

NO REMOVABLE FOOTBEDS. This is my first pair of Keen sneakers that you can't remove the footbeds. The jury is still out as to if I'll keep them as I added my custom orthotics on top, They are cute and wide as Keens always are. Like other customers, the glued in footbed has very poor cushion. AND, they squeak on my hardwood floor, doesn't bother me but might someone else. They do come with laces which is great - so they don't have to be slipped on only.

These shoes were really cute, but extremely uncomfortable. They weren't supportive or soft to wear. I like Keens, but these had no give. Sadly I'm returning them.

cute shoes but lacks the firmness of the Keen brand

This is the second time I bought a pair of Keens and upon trying them on when they arrived, right out of the box- Did Not Take Them Off ALL DAY. They are so very comfortable for those of us that need support. I thought of buying another pair just for indoors. Keen is fantastic! That last pair I bought, 5 years ago, still look great and have held up beautifully. Can't go wrong with these Keens!

I was hesitant to pay so much for shoes. I have wide feet, high arch and high instep; finding shoes that aren’t clunky and look nice is a challenge. I got a US 10wide and they fit perfect. They are comfortable to walk in. I like that they are leather and I can just wipe the dirt off. They come with an elastic lace that allows you to slide your foot in and also regular laces if that is what you prefer. So far I am pleased.

very comfortable and enough toe room to accommodate big toe hammertoe. that is hard to find.

Size 10, white leather. I have wide feet and didn’t see wide when ordered. I love Keen brand. I like the shoe, the foot bed is comfortable for my high arch, I can slide my foot in with the elastic laces, I have a high instep too. It came with the elastic laces and regular laces giving a choice. There is a cap of sorts under the leather at the toe area. It will keep the toe area smooth looking. I wish they were about 1/8 to 1/4 inch wider where the inside edge of shoe where my big toe is on both shoes. I’ll keep them in hopes the leather stretches some. Wish they came in wides.

I normally wear size 7.5, but I ordered an 8 based on reviews from other people. The show felt 0.5 to 1 size too big. It's a great shoe, but I don't recommend sizing up.

I have a wider foot and these fit me quite well. Comfortable and cute.

Nice soft leather. I'd prefer real, tie-able laces but that's an easy fix. Width is good but too short.
