Why We Like The Austin Shoe
The Austin Shoe is an all-leather style decorated for urban adventures. Its upper is mostly full-grain leather for durability, and nubuck leather panels around the collar and lacing create a unique pattern. Keen lined the shoe in mesh for breathable ventilation.

The area around the ankle
The area around the ankle has been re-designed and sticks out and cuts into ankle. I have been purchasing the Austin shoe for over 15 years. It should be okay, but will take time to break in so I do not get blisters on ankle.

Tongue is too long. Inside support collapsed.
the tongue is too long and digs into you Leather is far too stiff. Inside support of the shoe collapsed within a year of regular use, Please go back to the way you used to make them.

3rd Pair
This is my 3rd time getting the Austin’s. They are comfortable and I can wear them for just about any occasion.

Love these shoes, NEVER DISCONTINUE THE AUSTINS!
Keen: NEVER DISCONTINUE THIS SHOE!!! There are thousands of us out there who will just keep buying this shoe as their go-to for everyday wear. The one suggestion I can make for improvement is that it would be nice to get a version that is Gore-tex lined. For obvious reasons, I would never hike in them, but on a few occasions, I got them wet and ended up dealing with mildew issues that I was never quite able to resolve (tried everything). With today's shoe tech, this could be an easy solve. These shoes are comfortable all day and are the only ones that go with everything I wear. Perfect timeless design!

Cons now outweigh Pros.
Love the way they feet and feel. But the laces that come with them don’t last long, and the “two part sole/tread” separates, making them noisy on wet surfaces, and slippery. I’m also disappointed they no longer make a waterproof version. I’m on my 3rd pair, but don’t plan on buying more Austin.

Keen changed their sizing
I have owned Keens for years. My last few purchases have been too narrow. I know my feet haven't gotten substantially bigger because I found a pair of shoes from years ago with the price tag still on them, and they fit fine. I read that the Austins have the original fit, so tried them. My original size is too narrow. A half size up is better in the toes, but too narrow in the middle. I might be able to stretch them, but before I void the warranty I am going to try 1 1/2 sizes up. Meanwhile, my original size of some styles of Keen sandals still fit. Love love love them. Keen support confirmed over the phone that sizes changed recently. So in general Keen is smaller nowadays and pretty inconsistent with its sizes. Since my feet are freakishly big, I guess they wanted to appeal to the norm more and increase sales. But I wish they'd kept some models with the original sizes and shapes.

The tongue is too long
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have bought so many pairs of these shoes for my Husband , He loves them but the last two pair have been so uncomfortable because the tongue was digging in to the top of his foot that I had to restructure them to pull the tongue down. By the way he is a diabetic so his feet are very important. I would say we have purchased at least 6 pairs of these in the past and they were fine til the last two. I hope you address this problem because he did love them. Thanks

Not for Me
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes were not for me. Wanted a shoes a bit more dressy than a traditional hiker. They were very stiff and the fit was off. Going back to the Targhee Oxford.
