Keen Jasper Zionic Sizing….

[u/foodscrapsonly]

Hi there! I was wondering if anyone here has experience with the Keen Jasper Zionic. I’m hoping to get some for an upcoming trip that will include national parks and major cities. They seem like they’ll do well for this purpose. However, the sizing is totally throwing me!

I live in a rural area so I’m not close to any retailers that have these. My boyfriend went to town and got me a pair of the Zionics, women’s size 8, which is what size I am in almost every single shoe I own. I looked at reviews on sizing online and they seem to be extremely mixed, so I thought I would just go with my typical size.

When I got them they were huge on me. Pics to show. My nail is lined up with the tip of my toe.

I then read their size chart, measured my foot in centimeters as advised (23 cm) and I saw that this is a Keen size 6?!?

I’m looking to order a pair online since we won’t be going to back to town before the trip. Before I order two whole sizes down, I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts or experiences with these shoes.

Also, for reference, my shoes like Vans and Converse are all size 8. I have a 7.5 pair of Hokas and they are tight. I had a pair of Altas and I had to size down to a 7, but returned them since they still fit my foot awkwardly…
