Fit Tip for the Men's Austin Shoe: This shoe runs about a half size large. I would recommend going a half size smaller in this shoe. The toe box is nice and roomy.

Description

Keen: Men's Austin Shoe - Altrec.com Product Description:

With a leather upper trim that's a little more squared than Keen's popular Bronx casual shoe, the Austin is perfect for work and casual play at the end of the day. Like the Bronx, the Austin shoe has a removable metatomical footbed that you can use or replace with your own custom design. Up front Keen's patented protective toe bumper also minimizes wear on uneven streets and other unseen obstructions. The Keen Austin is a versatile urban shoe that's as tough as most athletic footwear--but with the added benefit of distinct styling.

Keen: Men's Austin Shoe - 29 Reviews

Ken - 2006-10-30
Excellent, as expected At 2 M or 78 in, I'm a tall person, used to finding very few shoes in my size 14. About 8 years ago at age 52, I sustained a plantar fasciatis injury which can be agravated by shoes with the wrong heel shape. This compounds the search for suitable footware at any price. I found that Keen sandals not only fit well but their heel cup allows weight to be borne comfortably at the perimeter of the heel. I've been riding a mountain bike daily in Keen sandals all summer but as October temperatures in the foothills of the Adirondacks have fallen into the 30's, I needed closed shoes. Altrec listed the Keen Austin at a reduced price so I ordered them and am very satisfied; I recommend them with no reservation.

bulletproof i reckon i should be getting commission i talk these shoes up so much . planto facitis on the heels, require support and cushioning and even weight distribution. these do all theses things while being weather and bomb proof.

Unbelievable comfort! I was looking for a replacement for my Keen Bronx shoes, and was hard pressed because they were the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. (and they proved to be iron-clad durable) Went with the Austin model, and I am not in the least disappointed. I am an elementary music teacher (and not the kind that parks my rear end behind the piano all day) and find myself on my feet all day walking, crawling on the floor and dancing. These shoes give me the support and comfort that I have never encountered with any other brand. Though I have found that the size runs just a smidge small, the fit is absolutely perfect - I have a fairly wide forefoot, and a narrow heel. These things have incredible arch support. All this and they look GREAT! The only question that remains is, "What kind of Keen am I going to replace these with in a couple years when they wear out, if they ever do?"
