I ordered these shoes after purchasing and returning a pair of Top Siders that were a terrible fit. After having to send back a pair of similarly-styled shoes, I had some concerns ordering these even though I have had very good luck with Keens in the past. I am extremely glad I took the chance and order these shoes. They are comfortable, fashionable, and a very high-quality shoe.

Fit:
I have a high instep and high arch and these shoes work very well for me. The fit can be adjusted by the leather ties on the top of the shoe, so the shoes could be made more narrow if needed. However, like many Keens, I don't know that I would recommend them to people with an extremely narrow foot. If you can wear normal-width shoes, these will likely fit. The toe area also comes up a bit farther on your foot than some similar shoes on the market today, which I like a great deal because it provides more support to the ball of your foot.

Size:
These seem to run true-to-size. I have many styles of Keens in 8.5 so I order these in an 8.5 and they fit perfectly. They are a bit more form-fitting than the Keen hiking shoes, but I have found that to be common in the Keen fashion shoes. I would not recommend ordering up a size for these shoes.

Comfort:
Especially for fashion shoes, I have been very impressed with the level of comfort. The footbed is well-padded and, after only a couple of wearings, is already forming to my foot. Unlike similar shoes, I have not had problems with these shoes cutting in at the heel and causing pain. I have worn them now for average daily wear and to teach (which requires hours of standing on cement) and have had no problem with the support. The sole might seem a bit strange when you first see it, but the shoes are very flexible and the soles offer excellent support and grip. The leather on the outside also softens very quickly, becoming very comfortable.

Style:
I have only worn them a couple of times and have received a number of compliments on these shoes. The leather looks nice and the two-tone color is striking. I purchased the navy, which has the area around the foot in deep brown. The colors in the pictures are accurate, so the navy is deep. I appreciate that these are a traditional boat shoe with better interior styling than many boat shoes.

Overall:
I would highly recommend these shoes. The fit is good, they are comfortable, and they look very nice with a variety of different clothing options.
