Keen Shellrock Hiking Shoes (For Women)

I love Keen products. I have 3 pairs of their sport sandals, and I expected to love these shoes for hiking with my dog. I actually tried to like these, even though I was disappointed with them from the moment they were on my feet. I have found Keen products typically to have a wide footbed (I wear a B width) and to be extremely comfortable with no break-in. These shoes were tight and were narrower than my other Keens. Adding a sock for hiking wasn't an option. Looking back on it maybe I should have checked to make sure they were the right size. I can't imagine that ordering a half size up would remedy the situation, maybe a full size. I returned these, truly disappointed, and wondering if these were a Keen knock-off.

This is a very stable, supportive shoe.

I use this product for my exclusive hiking shoe.

I was surprised because it said the shoe ran small and to order a half size larger. I wear an 8 but I really wanted these shoes and they only had a 7 left in the color I wanted. I received them and expected them to be too small but they fit great. They have a wide toe area and I think this may be the reason they fit. I have wide feet so although they are a size too small the width allows them to fit my feet correctly.

Really a gem of a waterproof walking/exercise shoe. Too bad Keen has discontinued it!!!
