Men's Austin Shoe | Chocolate Brown

Not happy at all. The tongues dig into the ankle, rubbing as i walk. I wear a 9.5 in the Targhee and love them, but this 9.5 is st least a half size too big. The first sbd last time i order any sort of clothing on line.

The Casual hiker

After experiencing my first pair of Keen's in the Targhee IV hiking mid boot, I have been looking for something that I could wear to the office with the same comfort. The Austin comes very close. I would think it would be really hard to match the Targhee in terms of support and comfort, and it is, but the Austin is a different type and purposed shoe. I can wear it with casual semi-dress slacks in the office. It looks good. No, its not a dress shoe but for 90 percent of what I wear a shoe for, it is great. I like the leather, its good quality. I am happy with the purchase. I still love my Targhee IV's more!

Returning for a replacement

I have been wearing Keen Austins for a number of years now. They are my favorite shoe by far. I bought this pair online in the same size as all of my other pairs. There are three spots where my ankles are being rubbed at the point where they first contact the shoe. I have manipulated those spots a lot with my fingers, and worn the shoes on and off for a week, but no change. So I’m returning them for the same thing hoping for a different result. Always a possibility with shoes, one of the reasons I normally only buy shoes in person, but my luck up to point has been good with Keen. Hopefully no issues with the next pair!
