KS86 Sneaker

I’ve had a few pairs of Keen shoes. I buy them because the wide fit, they’re really comfortable right out of the box. But these are too narrow and too long for the size. Disappointing, as I liked the style.

This is the first Keen shoe that I am a little disappointed in. On the plus side they look good, fit well and traction is great. I have found the cushioning of the sneaker to be lacking leaving my feet sore after a few miles. The material is not breathable at all, making them warm, not what I expected for a non waterproof sneaker, summer will be brutal. Additionally the upper material is firm, it makes a popping sound each step I take, pretty annoying. I own a pair of low Keen Hightrails that are better in every way, disappointed in these.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are my second pair of Keens. I have worn many brands, but these are the most comfortable!!

Shoes felt very harsh underfoot to me. I can't imagine how others rate these shoes as comfortable. Shoe runs long.

The KEEN Men's Ks86 is the best Keens I've had in a while. The shoe construction is old school, and these old feet appreciate something, cuz I can wear these standing for 10 hours straight at work. Please keep this design in production, because it's my new go-to sneaker. Tread is great, though occasionally squeaky which is to be expected with so many rubber cleatettes, toe box is supportive, but not as super wide as other Keens tend to be. Material is sturdy and cleans up. Arch support is there without being too much, and definitely not flat 'natural' (I don't want to stand for hours on concrete with 'no shoes' feel. ) Again, please keep this line in production!! And maybe bring in some other versions! Thanks

Wore my new KS86 Sneakers for one afternoon. Liked them so much I went back the next day for another pair. Recommended them to a friend who also loves them 👍👍
