Reviews of KEEN Men's Portsmouth Casual Shoe

Customer Ratings:

One simply cannot overstate the comfort of the Keen Portsmouth. They're like mansions for your feet, and that's just the beginning of the hyperbole. The fact is, these shoes are salvation for your feet. Salvation from discomfort of any kind. From pinching, from corns and callouses, from not being massaged at the end of a hard day of work. Simply the act of buying these shoes will bathe your feet in a previously unimagined luxury that can only be surpassed by wearing them every day and night even to bed. Especially to bed. Your best ladies will thank you. Foreign dignitaries, heads of state, Nobel laureates, scientists, and rock stars will admire you. Assassination attempts will be made against you. Nations will conspire to effect your capture or death. The gods of Olympus will rise up in tumult and marshal the very fabric of the universe to take from you the supreme comfort that you alone possess, for no mere mortal can be let to bask in such glory while on this earth.

And for $65? That's, like, 34% off regular retail pricing. Crazy!

I'm a bartender/manager so i'm on my feet most of the day. These shoes have great traction behind the bar. They are very comfortable with great arch support. I hope these shoes never get discontinued, I plan on wearing these shoes for a long as I can (and continue buying them).

I'm on my third pair of Portsmouths. I find them to be the most comfortable shoe I've ever put on my feet. The only thing keeping them from being perfect is that on all three pairs, the glue where the leather meets the toe-box has deteriorated rather quickly. It starts out as a white residue along the edge of the toe-box on the sides of the shoe and eventually you start seeing a gap there. Luckily for me, I live in a dry climate so water getting into this gap isn't so much of a problem but I can only imagine someone living in a wetter area would soon find their toes wet.

Honest reviews on KEEN Men's Portsmouth Casual Shoe

The rubber sole started to come apart on this pair of shoes after I had worn them for about six months. I went on the Keen website and submitted a claim (which was easy to do) and got a $100 company credit. I have never had a single problem with any other pair that I own. I own six pairs of Keen shoes and will replace with more Keen shoes. They make a great product that is backed up up by great customer service. Why should I buy another brand.

I have found that the size is consistant across the different styles (lace up/slip on/sandals) but they will stretch out a bit with wear. Love Keen shoes!

I've had my Portsmouth for a little over a year now. When I bought them I was trying to get something better, higher quality, and more 'grown up' than the mass-market skate shoes I had worn the past. The style was a little 'crunchy' for my taste at first, but they grew on me. At first, I was quite happy. My feet seemed to stay much drier and warmer than in my old shoes. However, after about a month or so, the laces disintegrated. Not a big deal, they're not super important for this style of shoe. You can call them, and they'll "try and help" get you a new pair, but I just bought some hiking boot laces from a local department store. They've been just fine since.

Now after a year I look at the shoes. I notice that the leather on one of them is starting to come apart at the 'toe crease'. Examining the sole I notice that it's starting to wear through in spots. I expected these shoes to last longer, especially given some reviews that mention them lasting 3-5 years. It could be I got a bad pair, it could be that they're cutting corners, or they just aren't 'what they used to be'. Are they worse than any other shoes I've had? No. In some ways they're better. They're just not the high-quality, long-lasting shoe that many other reviews said they were.

**Update Jun 2013**

I noticed today that the toecaps are starting to come unglued. Like I said before, they've been decent shoes, I've really liked them. I just don't expect them to last that much longer. I'm already shopping for new shoes. I'd also note: I'm pretty sedentary, sit at a desk all day, don't walk around a whole lot.
