Great for travel. Dress up or down. Super comfy.
These sandals are awesome! I bought them and then immediately packed them in a carry-on for a 5 week European vacation where I was packing super light so only brought 2 other pairs of shoes (a pair of flip-flops and sneakers). Needless to say I wore them a ton - for miles and miles of walking on many days different days. Never once did they hurt my feet or give me any hot spots. And they're super cute dressed up or down. Would definitely recommend for travel or just everyday wear.
Comfy, cushy, & sturdy
Purchased in size 10.5 (my normal size) in black. Definitely feel true to size, if not a teeny tiny bit small. But overall my foot fits just right in the footbed, straps do not feel overly tight. I did try these on after I’d been on my feet, my feet were tired and a little puffy, putting these sandals on was a relief! They have this sturdy bounce to them, can’t wait to wear them out this summer. Based on other reviews I thought the front/toe strap also had some stretch, it does not. It doesn’t feel like it will rub but only walking a few miles in the Texas heat will tell. I like that they have a slight wedge, helps them look a bit more stylish although at this point in life I’m dressing for comfort baby. I have some high hopes for these sandals just based off wearing them around my house for an evening. I usually buy something like teva original sandals but wanted an upgrade in the cushion & stability, these seem to fit the bill. Also the sole does seem legit tough, not like a pair of shoes that are going to be trashed after some outdoor fun. Happy to have a shoe in size 10.5 y’all!!!
Amazing shoes but difficult to clean
I bought these shoes yesterday in preparation for the summer and am SO pleased with the fit/quality/look. I've already gotten so many compliments on them and wore them on several walks where they've stood up quite nicely. However the material is VERY difficult to clean. I got sunscreen on them today and had to feverishly scrub with a toothbrush and soap to get it out, and they still aren't completely back to normal. I expected more from such a reputable outdoor brand such as Keen. Overall they are GREAT shoes and I would recommend, just make sure to keep your sunscreen far, far away!
Sole delaminated!
I am so bummed that within one month of my purchase and barely wearing these shoes - the sole on the right shoe delaminated! I was counting on taking these shoes to Europe ant the end of the week and now I can’t. Unfortunately, they are only available on line and not in stores so Iak out of luck. They are very comfortable sandals though.
Awesome sandal! (Wide feet may want to size up)
I love these sandals! They look great and material is durable and easy to clean. The cusioning is comfortable and they're easy to slip on and off. I am usually a women's 7 1/2 and ordered an 8. If you have wide feet the toe strap could be an issue if you order your normal size, as the toe straps are not adjustable and do not stretch like the other straps. I'm noticing this because one of my feet is slightly bigger than the other, and it causes some discomfort in the toe area. I'd recommend sizing up if you're between sizes or have wide feet.
Cute and comfortable
I wanted some shoes that would be comfortable for long walks around the neighborhood but also look cute paired with a simple dress. These fit the bill. I have narrow-ish feet, but so far, the straps stay put just fine. I ordered a size 8, which is my normal "Keen" size, but they were a little too small, so I went up to a size 8.5.
Great comfy and supportive sandal!
This sandal is really cute and very comfortable. I have somehow wide feet and the straps hug my feet, and are not tight at all (may be a bit loose for ladies with narrow feet). They are true to size, I usually wear a 7.5 or 8 and the 7.5 frets perfect.
Versatile, comfortable sandals.
I like Keen shoes classic fit styles because I need a wide toe box but a regular fit for my heel. Many shoes either scrunch my toes or are so loose at the heel (wide sizes) that I will get blisters. It’s hard to find a good fit for my feet. That said, this pair of sandals fit my feet great! They have a lot of cushion and are very comfortable to wear. The straps secure the foot without pinching. I appreciate the style as I can wear them with casual clothing or with a little dressier outfit. I have walked several miles in them already and have had zero foot pain. If you have a foot shape similar to mine, I think you will be pleased with this pair of sandals.
My favorite shoes ever
I had my first pair for about a week before I ordered a second pair. Got the for an upcoming trip overseas and I am so happy I found them. I've got bad knees and these are the only shoes that make me feel like I don't have bad knees! Been wearing them for a few weeks here at home and there was no break-in period whatsoever, no rubbing, no blisters, and, being a barefoot whenever I can kind of person, these are the only shoes I haven't thrown off the minute I enter the house. Look great with casual or dressier looks. I wear a 9 (if no half sizes offered) or a 9. 5 most other times. Ordered these in 9. 5 and they are a perfect fit. Love everything about them.
Fun and comfort, all in one shoe!
I wear either 8 1/2 (dress shoes mostly) or 9 (sneakers, etc.) depending on the shoe style and the manufacturer. I read the reviews, so I bought a 9 in these, and they are spot on. I wear these sandals at least once or twice a week. I’m a teacher, so I stand A LOT. I have to have comfortable and supportive shoes. These shoes do just that. The insoles are soft but firm enough to support my arches. The straps are not too tight or too loose. Since they are not adjustable, I worried that would be an issue, but they are just right. The sole is very sturdy. Playground duty is no problem in these! Spring, summer, and fall weather in Arkansas ranges from wet 60s in April to September hitting 90+ most days, so I get plenty of use nearly all year round. I really do love my Keen’s!
