This is my second pair and I love them. I bought the first pair for a trip to Europe. I pack light and they were the perfect shoe, they work with pants or skirts, and are really comfortable if you plan to do a lot of walking.

I have only worn these shoes two weeks. So far, I really like them. I try to wear all natural products that use no animals but don\'t always find a good shoe. I prefer flats and something with support. I believe our feet are very important to our over all health. I reccomend these. They are not navy blue.

I am very pleased with my Keene Sydney II shoes. They are very comfortable. Also pleased to receive them promptly so I was able to take them on a trip. Didn\'t have to break in the shoes--great from the start.

I found these ran true to size, or even a tiny bit large, in my case. I do have pretty narrow feet. I bought the 7 1/2, which is my usual size for street shoes. It\'s comfortable (no break-in required), a little roomy but doesn\'t rub anywhere uncomfortable. I like wearing them with nice or handknit socks, to show them off. \r\n\r\nThey\'re cute (in a bigger-than-most-shoes sort of way), good for walking (I\'ve gone a mile or two in them at a stretch), and seem well made. They seem to have good water resistance, though of course deep water or slush would come in the top.

I love this style of Keens! This wasn't my first pair of Sydney II so I knew that I'd wear 7.5 (about 1/2 size bigger than other brands). Since I wear orthotics the removable footbed is great. These were comfortable right out of the box and I love them!

As usual, great shoe from Keen. It takes about 2 wearings to get the leather around the top of the foot soft, but once you do, it is a very comfortable shoe. Good for standing all day, like when teaching a class or walking around the city. Cute enough to wear with slacks. True to size. Suggest wearing with socks unless you have a very wide foot.

This is my second pair of this style of Keens. I have bad feet and these are comfortable right out of the box. Lots of toe room and they are wide enough but not doofy looking.

I liked these shoes very much and found them to be comfortable from the start. I do wish they had more arch support, though. In the long run, I\r\nwill find them useful for travel and just everyday use. If you have a bunion problem, they provide plenty of room in the toe box area. All in all a good shoe. I appreciated Zappos return policy because I had ordered 3 other pairs of other brands searching for the most comfortable shoe and fit. It turned out to be easy!Thank you.

Very comfortable right out of the box. I wore them for two days of extended walking and had no blisters or other issues. The length was just right, but the width is a little big for me (my feet are between widths AA & B) but is manageable by wearing medium weight sock liners. There's also room for the extra cushioning insoles that I use to ease lower back pain caused by my high arches. An all-around good shoe!

After buying at least 8 pairs of Keens for myself, I bought my mom a pair for her birthday. Now she has 3 pair of the Sydney II and she won't wear anything else; all of her other shoes lie dormant in the closet.

Great for wide feet. Have hard to fit (wide, with bunion) feet and these felt great as soon as I put them on and continued to the entire day. Wear 8 in Keens, sometimes go to 8.5 in other shoes, e.g. New Balance. This style is wider than the Sienna Mary Jane, and wider than any other Medium I've tried, also somewhat stiffer than the Sienna (Sienna stretches a bit; like it, but it's a bit snug on my bunion, unlike these Sydney II). The design of this MJ shoe is perfect for my wide foot, instead of cutting straight across the foot, the asymmetrical top slants over and covers the bunion area, without irritating it. Do look like Minnie Mouse a bit.

I am a waitress and I needed a shoe that would comfort and support my feet for hours. This shoe does just that. The toe box is roomy. The heel is not as narrow as it may appear in the picture. A big plus, I can wear it with or without socks. The arch support is medium, which is perfect for me. My only complaint is that the shoe is more comfortable when moving than when standing still. But that discomfort is waning, and must be part of the breaking-in process, as I've only had them for two weeks. Right out of the box I put them on and walked three miles with no problem. Also, the shoe fits true to size, and is not too bulky to be cute. Invest in a good mary-jane like this one; they never go out of style.

I love my Keen Sydney IIs! They are terrific to walk around in the city as well as for moderate hiking. They fit perfectly, almost slipper-like, but have the thick rubber soles that can stand up to long hours of walking. They do look a bit like Minnie Mouse shoes, but that just makes me like them more! Thanks Zappos. If only all businesses were run as well as your company.

I'm a teacher and on my feet all day. I have another pair of Keens that I love and wanted to replace them. I got these as a gift and was very disappointed. My feet are an 11, the shoes were 11's, my other Keen's are 11's, but these were at least a full size smaller. Happily they'd been ordered from Zappos so an exchange was no problem.

"Ugly Cute" but works with orthotic - My favorite go-to shoe was discontinued, so I've been trying to find a substitute. Needed to fit my orthotic, be reasonably appropriate in an office setting, and be something I could walk a mile to the bus stop in w/o pain. My orthotics fit in fine, and there's still plenty of room for, well, me. No slipping in the heel, nice padding on the strap.
