KEEN Women's A86 TR Hiking Shoe

I love Keens (especially the hiking boots) and have several pairs in different styles. These are the first I've tried that are a bit pointy in the toes, like a new balance sneaker, so they squish my toes a bit (disclaimer: my toes are squared-off, not tapered like most people's, so I tend to have problems with pointy toes in general, but never before in Keens). Because of the odd lacing pattern (which my teens think is way too trendy for this middle-aged mom but which I think makes my size 11 feet look smaller), it was a bit difficult to loosen things up in the toe area, but I think I'll keep them even though my toes go right to the end. As with all Keens, I would suggest that people unfamiliar with the brand size up. Even people used to Keens may wish to go up a half size if their toes aren't naturally pointy. These are not soft-soled running shoes but they do have a bit of bounce for walking around, and are pretty comfy--except for the toes, they fit me like a glove. I don't like all the artificial plastic-y stuff on the outside--my other Keens have real leather accents and the plastic on the heel and toe makes these shoes look cheap. The sea blue/mimosa color scheme is attractive although my critical children think the Keen name in bright yellow is too much. My feet are pretty flat and the minimal arch support in these is OK for me but may not be enough for people with higher arches--you might need to add an orthotic (in which case I would definitely size up).

This is my second pair of Keen A86 TR Trail Shoes. I used the first pair till they wore out, at which point the arch support wasn't so good and my feet began to hurt after wearing them for awhile. I don't remember how long I had that pair, but I'm sure it was longer than you're supposed to keep a pair of running shoes! This pair I have had for a long time now, but haven't been running as much so they are still good. My favorite thing about these shoes is how light they feel, and that they don't have such a thick sole that you feel all clumsy while wearing them. The color options are a lot of fun, too. Although they are a trail shoe, they are fine for running on pavement, too. The versatility is nice because I am not a serious runner and can't see myself purchasing two pairs of running shoes.

Bought for my wife in size 9. She said it is good in the heel but very narrow in the toe. She has never worn anything bigger than a 9 but didn't think going bigger would really do much to resolve the issue. Her feet are of a normal width. Comparing them to her other shoes, the toe is much more pointed. The material in that area is stretchy but not enough. She is going to wear them for a while and see if they stretch out at all, but says as of now after a half hour that three of hers toes are asleep on each foot. She has already ruled them out as shoes she could ever run in.They do look cool. She got the purple and black. Materials and build are also nice. Hopefully they will loosen up enough to be day to day shoes.Not sure what is up with the rest of these reviews. It looks like 3-4 different shoes types, if not more, are getting lumped in here including a bunch of other keen sandals and even a merrell sandal type. My review is of the A86 trail shoe.

Ok, this is a funky looking shoe, with the opening for the laces curving instead of going straight. It took a little getting used to this design, but I am liking it. The fit was good plenty of room for the "awful" feet. Long enough and tall enough in the toe space. The lacing pulls them nicely around your feet and feel secure. The bottom have a bumply (excuse the made up word) but it is all I could think of to call it. I feel no slipping or anything with this surface and I am not bringing in imbedded dirt. I am giving this a 5 and since I haven't really done any long walks with them, so I guess the jury is still out. But I believe these will work out fine. As I search for the perfect shoe for the "awful" feet.

From the moment I put on these sneakers, I knew I had to purchase more. As I need to wear orthodics, it is very seldom that I can find a nice, fun pair of sneakers that orthodics will go into without a problem. These ones provide a great variety of colors, fantastic fit and are light and breathable for the summer. Purchased one in each color available in my size plus additional sneakers for my girlfriends. My husband loved them also, so I purchased 2 pairs for him. He wears them every single day.I just had back surgery and the light weight is greatly appreciated as the belt that I have to wear is pretty heavy. Do not need additional weight of my sneakers.Actually I loved the fit so much that I purchased two more pairs in leather for the cooler weather. Highly recommend them.

This shoe feels like a non-shoe. I forget I'm wearing it, but yet it seems to offer the support I need, which is important because I have foot injuries. The insole is not heavily padded, but the fit feels so custom that all details are at least satisfactory, if not very good to excellent.Also, I am not able to wear most retail shoes, because the back of my foot is tender and seems to get rubbed/scratched easily. I feel like over 90% of the shoes out there are unwearable for me, but I had no problem with the back of my foot when I wore this shoe all day for the first time, yesterday. Based on how my feet felt at the end of the day, I went online and ordered two more pairs. No kidding. I absolutely recommend this Keen shoe.

I listened to all the reviews which said to order 1/2 size larger so I did & the shoes are a bit large but I can put some type of liner in to fix that. Unfortunately I didn't get the color that was advertised but it's such a problem for me to get out & about to return them so I'll just keep them. That's the reason for 3 Stars. This type of thing has happened to me before where the item shown is not what you'll end up getting. It's very frustrating to say the least but I don't know how it will ever get fixed; very unfair to the consumer. But I'm a steady customer so I'll just have to wait & see if this type of occurrence keeps happening. All in all, I love Amazon.

配色がおしゃれでとても軽いです。甲の部分はメッシュなので夏向きかも。はだしではいても気持ちよさそうです。ホールドはしっかりしているので、軽いハイキングで多少の山道なら対応できます。あまり底は厚くないのでドライブにも使えます。

ロゴが派手かなと思いましたが、履いたらそんなに気にならず作りもおしゃれで、その上長時間はいても疲れないので、いい買い物でした
