Do Keens Run Big or Small?

In the production year of 2008, we switched manufacturing locations and some customers who were on the edge of their size ended up needing to size up after that. This is the same time that we officially started suggesting a 1/2 size up from your normal KEEN size, but they've always fit a little small.

Should you size up in Keens?

As a general rule, go up 1/2 size from your standard shoe size then work from there. A few more issues you may want to consider: KEEN with the eVent or KEEN. DRY water resistant membrane tends to have less interior volume in the toe box area of the shoe, so sizing up to some extent is sometimes necessary.

How do you know what size Keens to get?

On regular shoes, you should be able to find the size stamped on the inside surface of the side of the shoe. If you are asking how to find the size of the KEEN Newport H2 sandal, the size is on a sticker on the inside surface of the side of the shoe.
