Men's Austin Shoe Wide

Roomy&Comfy

"I got these shoes and because of the wide toolbox and they offer wide sizes. I got the 13 wide and have been wearing them for about a week now. They have completely relieved my issues where my smaller toes were rubbing and causing pain. After wearing these shoes, I no longer have that issue. They are plenty wide and roomy and allow my toes to move around and not rub up against the side upper corner of the shoe. When I first put them on the leather seemed a bit stiff and slightly uncomfortable but after a week now they have softened up and they feel amazing. I stand in them for at least 10 hours a day without sitting down and they are very comfortable. I did replace the insoles because the ones that came with it although they were nice and well crafted they were just a little inadequate. But that has been typical with every shoe that I have ever worn. I am 6’1” 220lb. 46yrs. old, male, chef. I do not wear these in my work kitchen though. They are not slip resistant."

"The shoe was really stiff. The area around the ankle was uncomfortable and stiff."

Very Good quality

"Quality of leather and overall construction seems very good. Laces were kind of short but as I wear AFOs on both feet and the side strut interferes with the top eyelet soI don’t use it The laces actually worked out fine for me. Had I used the top eyelets the laces would have been too short. Overall I am very happy with my new Keen shoes."

Austin Shoes

"They work like shoes should work"

Some Modifications Necessary

"Purchased 11½ wide Austins which provide lots of room for my toes. Had to experiment with insoles — tried the insoles that shipped with these shoes, then the Men's Outdoor K-10 insoles that shipped from Keen, and then a third-party SIDAS product which seem to work the best for me. I also changed the shoestrings; switched to a round product which makes it MUCH easier to adjust the tension up and down the shoe. The as-shipped “flat” shoestrings are very difficult to move when you try to tighten them. Note: I think the overall appearance of the shoe is much better now— personal preference. Lastly, I changed the lacing pattern at the top of the show (see photo) for a little more comfort with my high instep."

"Wide toe box, comfy heel support, sturdy rugged steps. I'm 6'5", 320lbs. These shoes are great in the office and great for going out to job walks on construction sites."

Nothing better for you Feet.

"Best shoes I ever owned. Very comfortable and supportive. Stood on my feet 6HR. per day at my job. I have had 2 pair of brown and a black pair."

Great & long lasting

"Very comfortable shoe. I use for work and casual wear. I have very wide feet. Normally a 10. I buy these in a 10. 5 wide. Very long lasting shoe. I probably wore for too long. About 18 months. Uppers were still fine. The soles wore out. Mainly on the outside of the foot where I walk most. But I am very pleased and impressed at how long these last wearing for both work and casual. Only wish would be to make them with a carbon fiber toe for work. I have to wear low and flat shoes with not to much arch at all due to a Back issue. Other than that, love these. Just bought a new pair."
