4 of 4 people found the following review helpful.A realy narrow shoe.
By Alan D. Igo
I purchased these from another site and I can guarantee you will have an uncomfortable ride in these if your foot is a C or wider. I have narrow feet in the range of A to B, of course depending on the Chinese garage. I wanted to like these from the start when another reviewer on the other site said these were "insanely narrow". And being a Keen was enough to give them a try. Unfortunately, the side panels were also too abrasive right at the ball of the foot. And they are quite stiff. Which was expected because of the designed use for them. I wouldn't be using them with the clip-in sole anyhow as I'm only a recreational biker. So this is my story, and I'm sticking to it. I hope it helps you with your decision.

By J. Howard
These shoes are a bit narrow, or a lot narrow, depending on how long I've been riding. I used them a few times and have since replaced them with a better fitting shoe. The shoe quality is nice, but it doesn't work out for me. They do not make them any wider either.

By Jim
I should write to Keen. I'd have one comment, "Really, this is your best effort???" These sandals would be terrific if you have blade runner type prosthetic feet.I wear a 14 wide or 15 regular. I just purchased a pair of size 15 Keen Commuter II Cycling Shoes (sandals), a size 47/48 Nashbar Ragster II Cycling Sandals, and a pair of size 15 Keen Targhee II hiking shoes (roughly my sixth pair). The Keen hiking shoes fit like all the previous pairs, a little long but comfortable in the width. I made the assumption the Keen sandals would run the same fit as the shoes thus justifying all the other reviewer's comments about a narrow fit. Not even close. These sandals are so narrow, that after owning many pairs of Keen shoes I'm in disbelief the company would put their name on this product.Placing the shoes on their sides on a table with two shoes sole to sole, the Keen Commuters measured 3/8" narrower than both other shoes at the ball of the foot. At the heel the Keen sandals maintained the 3/8" narrower fit than the Ragster, but were 3/4" narrower than the Keen Trail shoe.The Keen Commuters felt like a brick coming out of the box. The shoe felt heavier than both of the other two. When asked for an opinion which shoe felt heavier my wife picked the Keen Commuter as well. Surprisingly, the Commuter weighed in at 1 lb. 4.3 oz. each, identical in weight to the Keen shoe, but the Ragster was the heavy-weight at 1 lb. 4.6 oz. After installing cleats the Nashbars increased to 1 lb. 6.5 oz. I cycle for exercise so the shoe weight is a non-issue to me, and walking around the house they don't feel heavy.The Nashbar Ragsters are perfect width for my foot, but I wouldn't want them any shorter. I would call them a "true to size" pair of sandals. The Keen sandals are going back. At twice the price of the Nashbar I should probably use the refund to order a second pair of the Nashbar Ragsters.The foot bed of the Nashbar Ragster is just like everyone else writes, rough. I imagine as my foot sole becomes calloused in the summer months it will not be much of an issue. I imagine the rough texture will also help the sandal grip my foot and assist when I'm attempting to release from my clips. The foot bed is light gray, and it isn't a color I would select for the exposed foot bed of a sandal. I can foresee the shadow of my foot as dirt accumulates from trail riding.I bought these cycling shoe/sandals for the hot summer days of Utah when I'm out for a leisurely ride with my family and my clipless peddles don't accommodate a regular sandal. The Nashbar sandal appears sturdy, well made, and grips my foot more securely than my everyday sandals. However, a sandal is a sandal and given the build of a sandal I'm interested to see how much additional twist is required to release the cleat.My recommendation is to save yourself the hassle of returning a purchase, skip the Keen Commuter II, and purchase the Nashbar Ragster. Take a look at my side by side customer photo of the Keen and Nashbar with one on each foot.
