“Needs some breaking in time”

“As with most Keen shoes, these are nice looking, sturdy, and give great arch support. Right out of the box, they are very stiff. These are the kind of shoes that you need to wear around the house for a few hours a day until they will be comfortable enough to wear for an entire day ... without pain. But they are leather and will stretch. It won't take too long (I hope). The buckle is a little odd; seems backwards to me. I'm keeping them because I think that once they are broken in, they will be a great pair of shoes. So far, they feel better everyday.”
