KEEN Portola Shoe - Women's - 2007 BCS

I bought these shoes a year ago and have worn them daily. I was a little discouraged at first because my heels were rubbing to the point where it was painful, but once I got them broke in they were wonderful and still are. They have good arch support, which I need, and once I wore them down I bought inserts so I could continue wearing them. I'm on my feet 8-12 hours per day and these are the only shoes I've worn where my feet aren't aching by the time I'm done with work. I don't always wear socks when I'm out-and-about and after a year these shoes (and my feet) don't ever smell. They look different but I've gotten a lot of compliments on their unique style. I am very satisfied.

I first tried on a pair of KEEN shoes 2 years ago and should have just bought them. But at the time I couldn't justify the money and so I let them go. My feet have been dreaming of those shoes ever since.

I read a lot of reviews and followed the advice to purchase a pair 1/2 size up from what I usually wear. When the shoes arrived I slipped them on and knew immediately that they were too big. What a disappointment!

I sent them back with no problem (at my expense because I live in Canada... $$$) and ordered my regular size. I waited for those shoes. I dreamed of those shoes... and after some border delay... they arrived just in time for our holidays.

I LOVE THESE SHOES! My feet love these shoes. They are the first pair I reach for in the closet. I can't wait to order my next pair in a more neutral colour.

No hesitations to recommend a pair of KEEN shoes. If you have the chance, I'd suggest trying on a pair in store just to make sure you have the right size. There was nothing worse than watching my husband walk around in his new KEEN's while I shipped mine back and waited for a new delivery.

I'm an average 9 1/2 size in casual shoes, but I got a size 10 in these and they were a bit too large. So I sent them back for a 9, which worked out. I've had a couple of people comment that they look like "clown shoes" though. However, they are comfortable!

I'm a professional photographer-----we wear Keens. The Portola takes me everywhere, does everything & are charmngly dorky looking. ( Only Keen style I will wear)Worth every cent as they are really well made.
At the end of a long day of shooting, my feet are ready for anything.
But it is hard to find them---they seem to fly off the shelves. My only complaint is that I cannot believe Keen is discontinuing all the great colors---this year's models are black & sludge.

I always wear keens - i have back problems, knee problems, you name it, and keens help a ton. These are Keens with good support and nice sturdy soles (some keens have wimpy soles). In addition, they are cute as hell - i've gone thru 2 pairs of the green/green portolas and get so many compliments every time i wear them. (and i'm about to buy them in another color.)

the only issue i have is the top edge of the heel rubs and so i can't wear them many days in a row (but i have a pointy tendon/ankle/heel bit there so this may not be a problem for others.)

These are not wet weather shoes. They're nice and breathable, good for my hot feet.

I bought these shoes for work, and they are very comfortable. The bottom of the shoe says it's anti-slip, and I've noticed that I seem to have better traction on slippery floors. I always wear a 9.5, but when I tried these on they seems a bit too big. I ended up ordering a 9, and they fit perfectly! These shoes are very high quality and I've ordered 2 more pairs of Keens!

This is my second pair of KEEN shoes and I am delighted with them. I found a pair of KEEN Presidio's on a clearance rack and bought them because they fit ok and looked fun. After a few hours, they fit great. After 6 months of wearing them every day and even a lot of 12 hour night shifts, I can happily say that they fit still great and I LOVE them. My foot is sometime hard to fit but these do a great job. I got my Portolas in the mail today and I'm already wearing them for a 12 hour shift. After a few years of 12 hour shifts and clogs, it is wonderful to find shoes that don't leave my feet and joints sore at the end of the night.
