Review of Keen Women's Presidio

Keen Women's PresidioI bought the first pair on sale in a sky blue color, and loved them so much I invested in the red variety at full price...just bought pair number 3 in black, to wear on semi-professional occasions where I'll be on my feet for hours and need to be able to run (I work with the press, so speed is sometimes a priority...I have a pair of black Dansko clogs I occasionally wear for their comfort, but moving faster than a brisk walk is impossible in them).I'm not sure which colors are currently available on Amazon, but I know this model is produced in at least five colors: moss green, brown, black, tomato red and pool blue.

I have narrowish feet, size 8.5 and high arches...and this is literally the most comfortable shoe I've ever owned.I've walked upwards of eight miles at a time in the blue pair and - here's another plus - they still look great, after a year and a half of fairly constant wear.

These shoes cost more than sneakers, but I can absolutely tell you they are worth every penny.The leather is sturdy and I've dropped a full glass of water on my toes with no splash marks left later.

Seriously, I cannot say enough about this product.My only worry is that Keen will stop making them.If I ever see another pair on sale in my size I will invest in #4.

I own several other pairs of Keen shoes as well (including the Bend, the Portola and the Tuscany)...and while I would rate those maybe an 8 on a scale of 1 to 10, the Presidio goes up to eleven.Higher, really.The fit is most like the Targhee mid, another Keen model of which I own more than one pair (try the purple ones, they're insanely cute.)

One detail: They run about a half size smaller than marked.I wear an 8.5 in most brands of shoe, but I need a full size 9 in the Presidios.
