Unstable and needs quality control
I did like the look of these, but was forced to return them due to a quality control issue. The left shoe was definitely narrower than the right. This wasn't just my opinion. At least 3 other women at work have the same shoe size and also noticed this problem. This is the second pair I've ordered that have this problem. And I noticed that a review of the carbon toe Arvada also mentioned this. So Keen: Take Note and FIX this problem!!
In addition, they were incredibly unstable, particularly with socks (I have to wear socks at work). I've worn clog or clog type shoes for years and never felt they were particularly unstable. They didn't function well as slip-ons. The back strap has to be undone every time they are put on.
I am writing this review in part because I needed to state the quality control problem above on the return, but the return reasons are now limited to only 200 characters. It's very difficult to describe a quality control issue in 200 characters. As well, the categories for returns didn't really fit. Other than that, the shoes look nice and I wish they had worked out.
