Great design, horrible product pictures
4 Stars
Great design, horrible product pictures
I bought the gray shoe. It's not gray. It's greenish-brown. (what I bought is officially called "Color: Gargoyle/Neutral Gray") The first picture is flat out false. The first picture shows an all-black sole, and the eye holes are on a black accent color on a light grey upper. But the second picture shows the black bottom and grey/tan sole and the upper is all one color. That second picture is more accurate. This second picture is right except for the lighting. The second picture still makes the upper look grey. but it is not grey. It's clearly brown, with a decent amount of green hue.I love the design. The toe area is very roomy which I think helps a lot when kneeling (which the large toe cover is obviously made for). I was a little disappointed that the toe cover appears to be a second piece, separate from the bottom sole. So in theory the toe could separate from the bottom sole. I see others have various durability complaints, but that is not one of them. I will update if I have anything break.Despite the toe being roomy, the midfoot is very snug which I like. And the arch seems high enough for me. I prefer the fit of running shoes, Narrow with a high arch. This is why I prefer hiking boots over work boots. This is my venture into "work shoes" that are really hiking shoes. I don't want the weight and angle discomfort of books, but I don't want to break my sneakers. Plus on both sneakers and boots, I have issues with the toes falling apart.Amazon suggests "Fit: True to size. Order usual size." I totally DISagree. I tried this on in some fancy outdoor store I had never been to, and the 10.5 were on the big side (I did not try on the 10s, it think they did not have any). They would have worked, but I figured once they were broken in I'd wish I had 10s. In Nike, and in most shoes, I fit a 10.5. In Under Armour, I am usually an 11 in running shoes, and 10.5 in casual. With these KEEN Austin shoes, I ordered a size 10, and they fit great. I think I have enough track record with consistent sizing to say, these run a half size big.
