Great walking around shoe that can keep up with the wet climate in Seattle. Not as padded as the Finlay--but not a major drawback. A little more formal looking compared to the finlay due to the lack of padding.

Comments about Keen Alki Lace Shoes - Men's:

After wearing these shoes, mainly for work, for several months, I can say that they are indeed comfortable and are holding up well (so far). The one annoyance is that the shoe laces that came with my pair are green, not brown that show in the product picture. This doesn't affect the shoe's performance, it just makes them look... odd.

Comments about Keen Alki Lace Shoes - Men's:

These feel broken-in right out of the box. These are a replacement for a pair of Merrells that literally came apart at the seams--the Keens seem to be higher quality. Beware if ordering without trying-on--I almost always wear 9 1/2, but had to buy 9 in these.

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.
