User Reviews
These Keen “Croc-like” slides are very durable and comfortable, but they aren’t much to look at. They are perfect for in/around the house for someone like me who isn’t an open shoe kinda guy. I recommend.
Product fits loose but comfortable. Great for use in gym shower environment. Sturdy and soles have adequate grip. Reasonably priced
I bought these for use in the shower. Our flooring outside the shower is slippery as ice when your feet are wet. Bathmats are ok, but not 100% reliable. These have an aggressive bottom pattern that is very resistant to slipping even when I tried to make them slip.The only issues are first, they run a little large in width and length. I bought the size I usually buy shoes in. Consider one size smaller if you are concerned. Would prefer to have tried them on before buying, but the price from this seller was just too good to pass up. So mine are a little big, but still do-able.Second, the bottom has no drain holes, so they retain some water. Have to pull them off and drain manually. Still not a showstopper.I like they are easy to slip on and off in the shower so you can wash your feet and slip them back on. I'm happy with them for my intended use. Way better than bare feet. Easier to use than the tight fitting "sock: type shower slippers.
Super comfortable. Keen is awesome. My fourth pair in 8 years. Love these!
I have a pair of Keen’s Yogui Arts, shown in picture on right. Love them. I ordered now two new pair both being returned because they are much wider and fall off my foot. Both my old pair and the new pair show size on bottom as 9M, W11. My rating for support is based on the new pair. Comfort and durability are based on my old pair.I did find my old pair were manufactured in Vietnam. The new pairs China. Probably no bearing, but noteworthy. Guess I will buy next pair somewhere I can try them on.
These sandals are my year round go to. Absolutely unparalleled!
They are huge and not very comfortable. They fit my pretty wide foot but were uncomfortable for walking and look grotesque. Much worse than they appear in the pictures. Not great sandals.
I had a pair of Keen Aruba slip ons that are 3 years old, dirty and very beat. Yes, I tried cleaning them and It didn’t work. I wanted to reorder the Aruba model but they were discontinued.I saw the Yogui model and hesitated because they look a little weird in the photos so bought a knock off pair that were way too big and junk quality.Sent those back and bought the Keen Yogui models in black via the “Try Before You Buy” program.My feet are 9 1/2 to 10 depending on the shoe. But they are very wide - EEEE to be precise. It’s hard to find shoes or sandals with toes that fit.Based on my old size 10 Keen Aruba slip ons, I bought a size 9 in the Yogui. Perfect fit, even with my super wide flipper feet. The length of these Yogui 9’s are a far better fit than the old Keen Arubas were. I wish these sandals weren't bare rubber to foot. The old Aruba's were perfect because they had a woven liner on the top strap section. The lack of any upper web liner makes these sandals hot and sweat. They would be OK for use on a beach or a pool, but for walking around, they are just plain hot.As for styling, the Yogui are very much in the “Keen” genre. I had an epiphany about the styling after they were delivered. They are overtly weird looking.PS - the “Try Before You Buy” program at Amazon is my new favorite way to purchase anything that needs a personal fitting before paying. Nice work Amazon!
