User Reviews
Very comfortable shoe! I have enjoyed the look of them. Classy yet different for a new summer look. They do run a bit large. I was able to purchase a half size down and ended up perfect sizing. Love the neutral go with anything color. Some say they are bulky but I enjoy the look & feel and don’t notice. They are very comfortable.
Love the design, support and fit of the sandal. I wear a size 5 and am delighted that Keen offers their merchandise right down to the small adult size. So often I have to choose from large child sizes and forgot style. Not so with Keen, it is my go to site for shopping!
I was very disappointed that I was send a obviously used pair of sandles. This is the second pair of the exact sandle,except for color, I’ve ordered and was very happy with comfort and quality of first pair. I plan on returning these and not sure if I’ll reorder or not!Make sure you check out item if you order from them.
These sandals are beautiful. I purchased this footbed in a few different styles from Keen 2 years ago. At first, I realized they were a bit wide, heavy and flat but they are so beautiful. Good quality leather upper and sole. Beautiful hardware. Modern and slightly edgy. I thought the footbed would mold to my feet eventually. No, it has been 2 years and my toes fall asleep and my hips get really sore if I wear these longer than 1 hour. My gait changes as my feet struggle to grab the footbed so the sandals don't fly off my feet. They are still beautiful but I'll have to donate all 6 pairs of these beautiful shoes. Might work for someone who has wider feet and do not need the arch support. In my case, a complete waste of money.
The size 10 was a good fit for my 9-1/2 Wide feet except that the way the straps hit it was easy to see I'd have trouble with my little toe wiggling out between the straps. I liked the way they looked other than that, but I wasn't sent the color I ordered. I returned them and I'll keep looking.
I love these shoes. I have a bone fusion in my ankle and lots of scars and swelling on my right foot. Shoes are always a problem for me because even though I have all of that going on I still want to wear cute shoes, I mean who doesn't!?! Comfy and cute!
Love these!! Sturdy footbed, stretchy straps that hold up but aren’t too pinchy. The fabric isn’t super breathable so I’m not sure if I’ll end up with any rub spots wearing them in high humidity and sweating but I’m not too concerned. I love Keen’s wider foot area and that they have a 10.5. So few shots have that size. Very happy!
