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.

When I first put them
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first put them on I thought they were too loose, send them back. I tried them on again and pulled the laces tight. Boy are they comfortable and they fit perfectly leaving a little room for my arthritic big toes. I had been waiting till you had Austin’s in stock. I love these shoes. I put some polish on them and gave them a USMC spit shine. Gotta love these shoes they look really nice with a shine and just what I need. They are so comfortable.

My favorite go to pair
Comfy, virtually no break in period needed. Look great with jeans or khakis! Still haven’t given up my old pair, just needed something newer for work and going out.

Lost Potential
I bought my first pair of Austins and thought I had found a shoe i could buy over and over again. With the generous toebox and general design they were great walking shoes. Then I bought my second pair. Unfortunately, there has been a drastic decline in quality. Similar to another review, I find the shoe stiff and this pair (same exact size) causing the tongue to dig into one of my feet. The leather on this same shoe discolored and they wore out much faster. This shoe could be a "go-to" shoe for many, but instead is an example of failed potential. Please fix the tongue, leather quality, and provide a tad more cushioning to lessen impact and this shoe will once again be what it first promised to be.

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.

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!
