Great traction
The soles on these are non-slip and that suits me fine (Keen has a similar pair with their regular sole too). I don't wear these for work but I do put them to good use. I never concern myself with what is on the ground in front of me and that is where the non-slip soles come into play. No matter what I step in or on I keep my footing. The thick sole provides cushion but like someone else mentioned they are hard on the bottom, and even make noise when walking, a sort of thumpy sound. It does bring some attention to them and makes people think they are dressier shoes without traction, so when they see me walk on something they are amazed that I don't slip. A couple of incidents to point out the traction--a spilled soda with ice that I simply walked through it. If the ice didn't crunch under the sole I wouldn't have known it was there. A full carton of dropped eggs at a store--I was trying to be careful when getting my own eggs but I stepped on a couple of broken ones. When a lady asked me to get her a carton too but told me to be careful I showed her the non-slip sole and went ahead and just stood in the biggest part of the mess while I got her eggs. She liked the shoes and the way I could step wherever I wanted!

My Favorite
I really like these shoes! They are by far one of my most comfortable pairs of shoes. They have a slight spring to the step despite the firm sole. I've worn them all day and right on through the evening without WANTING to change my shoes. The only thing I'd rather wear is my keen rafting sandals...it would be nice if it came in more colors or slight style variations.

I LOVE them!
I really like these shoes! I have had about 5 different pairs of Keens and these are by far the most comfortable. They have a slight spring to the step despite the firm sole.

sooooo cute!
First off, I love the look of these mary janes, and secondly-- Keen always feels so good on my feet! Unfortunately, the "sides" rubbed against my ankle bones and did not work. But, I will keep on trying out keens!

Nice fit
I wear a true size 10, and these fit my foot well - unlike some other Keens which were either too small or too big. These do seem on the narrow side, although I think the front could be broken in to accomodate many feet. Since they are an easy-care outer material, I think they could take some wear and tear. They are much more comfortable to me than a professional Dansko because of the cushion insole.
