## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are these very breathable? My husband is worried about his feet getting too hot.**
A: Going on 4 years later, and the answer is the same: NO, THESE ARE NOT BREATHABLE.  Your feet will sweat and it's not recommended to wear these every single day without giving them a day in between to air out/dry out.  It's a foot fungus incubator, as well.  It's due to the fact that the leather upper is pre-oiled and "water proof" (they're resistant, BTW - not water proof).

**Q: Where can I get replacement laces and insoles for these shoes?**
A: Hello,
  Like most companies, Keen does not offer replacement "components" for their shoes.  The lace length is 36-45", which you can usually buy at drug stores or grocery stores.  The insoles pull out of the shoes easily, but again, you'd be buying a replacement "over the counter" .  We like the Pinnacle style by Power Step.

**Q: Are these shoes good for those with high arches?**
A: I have high arches and Keens are the only shoes I can wear without an orthodic.

**Q: I wear a size 12 4e, and i was wondering how wide are these shoes in say a 11 1/2 d? could anyone let me know if they can about this width? jb-nv**
A: I wear a 15 2e to 15 4e athletic shoes (Nike, Adidas, Rebock, New Balance). Keens tend to run wide. I bought them in a 15D and the fit perfectly. With my Keen hiking boots I went with a 2e so that I can utalize wool socks in the winter months.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent
*by C***S on 16 January 2026*

Brilliant shoe fit is excellent and extremely comfortable

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Terrible quality
*by J***D on 23 February 2026*

As others have said: very stiff, incredibly uncomfortable, and they started falling apart after a couple of uses: the glue loosened around the edges.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Strong - supportive and comfortable even on stony ground
*by F***N on 10 April 2024*

I bought these for my elderly Husband who was having great difficulty in finding the right sort of shoes to suit his needs. He has given them a good trial and has pronounced them a success. The shoes are a broader fitting than most, are very well made and sturdy with plenty of support. I can see that he is walking so much better now and is happier on his daily walk. The inside of the shoes are free from the protrusions that are the bane of the elderly when feet inevitably become sensitive to poor seams. One grumble that is a bigger problem than it sounds - the shoe laces are way too short - please manufacturer realize that shoes need to be easily and firmly tied or they are dangerous I did not drop a star for this omission because I did not want a fallen star to detract from the quality of the main subject ( the shoe) laces can be changed - and that is what he did. Yes - my Husband tells me that he is happy to recommend Austin by Keen.
