Keen Bronx Shoe : An Urban Warrior

I need a shoe that's trail tough, but designed for the street. Keen has delivered the shoe for me - the Bronx. Available in both men's and women's styles (and in leather or steel mesh uppers, mesh pictured here), this rugged shoe is built to last.

I love the tough, thick rubber soles because they give my feet the stability and cushioning I need on hard surfaces. Unlike many sporty shoes, which look great but hurt your feet after ten minutes, the Bronx has a firmer sole that prevents excessive flexing through the forefoot and a stable arch.

These shoes were made for my feet -- they're wide enough for my extra wide forefoot and deep enough to accommodate my full-length orthotics. For people who don't use custom insoles, the shoes come with a densely padded insole.

Bottom Line: Thank you, Keen for these sporty urban shoes. They work great with pants, shorts, and even skirts and casual dresses.-- E.D. (May '05)
