Comments about Keen Alki Lace Shoes - Men's:

i bought these for working around the house and in the yard, perfect for that. i really like the durable toe, light weight, wide toe space and the look. i normally use arch support inserts but don't need them with this show. i feel the tread lugs and bumps on the ground on the bottom of my feet, so i wouldn't recommend them for hiking where small rocks are on the ground.

Comments about Keen Alki Lace Shoes - Men's:

Bought these for my gentlemen friend whom has a hard time finding shoes that fit well. Not only did they give him the room he needed, but he looks great in them, and they are super comfy too. Only bummers: Something weird was happening with a small spot of rubber on one of the shoe sides. It was a little mushy and black stuff was coming off. They also scuff easy, but a little leather oil treatment and they look great.

Ive been looking at this shoe for quite sometime and after Christmas I bought a pair. I discovered immediate comfort! I haven't had the shoe for very long and don't wear them everyday but at this point I'm pleased with them. Great support, durable and they just look good!

Comments about Keen Alki Lace Shoes - Men's:

I work with kids in a psych treatment center so am on my feet all day. These shoes are wonderfully comfortable, durable and attractive. I bought these men's shoes, although I'm a lady, because my feet are on the wide side. LOVE the ample toe area! Only question I have is about the rubber toes... the glue is showing a bit as if the rubber has pulled back a bit ... but there is no separation. I did add SuperFeet insole arches for max arch support... but that's cause I really like super stiff arch support.

Comments about Keen Alki Lace Shoes - Men's:

Previously, I've been a big fan of Merril for my daily footwear. I decided to try Keen because of their reputation for being comfortable and being well made.

Comfort and looks for these shoes are fine, no problems there. I wear these daily as I work in a no-tie type of job. They get worn in all four seasons where I live, they do not leak in the rain, they hold up to mild snow and they are great for rest of the year.

What am I complaining about then? They do not wear well. In less than a year, I've worn the heel down enough to feel it when I walk. I do a lot of walking around at work, lunch walks are a regular part of my life and I wear these for other times when sneakers might not be right and it is not a full dress situation. Like I said, they get worn a lot. Footwear from Merril, by comparison, was going two years or more without needing replacement under the same wearing conditions.

If you're not as high mileage as I am, these might be a great buy for you. Read my review as three and a half stars. They are a good choice and versitile, they just don't last as long as I'd expect.

Comments about Keen Alki Lace Shoes - Men's:

I share the views of other recent reviewers. I now have a love/hate relationship with Keen. When I first tried on the Alki, I was struck how comfortable it felt and that it looked better on my foot than on the rack. I wish I had read reviews before buying the shoe. It wore out within five months. The materials, particularly in the sole, seem to be of the cheapest quality, and the craftsmanship was of the lowest common denominator. My pair were made overseas. The message seems clear. Keen should stop outsourcing to unreliable overseas manufacturers and live with the higher prices it must charge for domestic-made footwear. I am heartened to see that Keen now has the No Po, a shoe made in the USA. The message may be getting through.

Comments about Keen Alki Lace Shoes - Men's:

I own three pairs of Keen shoes (including this style) and have been very impressed with their feel and comfort. Unfortunately, all three have worn out VERY quickly. The soles only lasted about six months before they started falling apart and all three have worn through. I can't wear them in the rain as the water will soak through immediately into the shoe. The tops still look great and function well, but if you don't have soles, you don't have shoes. I only walk a few miles a day on sidewalks!

I sent one pair back to Keen and they were great about replacing them, but I really don't want to have to go through the trouble. I'd rather just buy a pair of quality shoes that last a few years. It's a mystery to me how Keen could design great looking, comfortable shoes and then throw cheap soles on them. I'm not sure I'll ever buy another pair unless something drastic is done to boost the quality.
