User Reviews
I am always leary of buying name brands with the exception of my running shoes. The Keens surprised me. These are sturdy and offer great support. You can wear without socks. They are durable. These can be worn everyday. No blisters. True to size.
These Keens are so comfortable that I forget that I am wearing shoes. They are so light weight. Plus I love the color!
My wife liked it very much. She found it to be very comfortable, and it looks well made and durable. Fast delivery was a plus.
I really like these and so far are comfortable as I test them around the house. They are however not the color pictured. They were described as black/grey and pictured as light grey with pink. Because they were on a great sale I ordered anyway and like the look just fine.
My wife's old pair of keens hiking sandals had worn out, cause she wore them a lot. These were an early birthday present. She loves them. We hike frequently and these sandals work great. The outstanding is that with the leather strap material they now work in a non casual dress. These are now her go to sandal for lots of events, not just hiking. The quality of these is excellent, they are very comfortable and durable. The foot bed is very supportive, and the fit is as expected.
I just got and put on my Astoria West closed toe sandal from Keen color desert sage/multi. They look great! Cute! Not clunky at all. What impressed me the most is the cushion these shoes provide. Take it from me, someone who has been living in only Oofos for the past 2 years because of needing the squishy cloud like feel to relieve foot pain. I can't believe how comfortable the souls of these shoes are. It's really hard to find a squishy soft soled shoe with significant thickness. The top and sides of this shoe are comfortable also. No toes are sticking out. Due to several reviews I decided to buy these in a size 8. I normally wear a 7 or 7 1/2 in shoes but, I do wear a size 8 in sneakers. This size 8 Astoria fits nicely so I recommend using your sneaker size. Because of their cloud like squishiness they conform to your feet and arch. I do feel that if you have a very high arch and/or a chunky foot these would probably be tight on you. My feet are thin and my arch is low. My review may be premature being that I haven't worn them outside yet but, what's making me feel so good about them is the cushion in the heel and the ball of my foot. I have so much foot pain that if I didn't feel this cushion I would actually be afraid to go outside in these because of knowing I'd end up in pain but, I'm not afraid at all to go outside in these and I'm looking forward to it! I have an old pair of keen closed toe sports sandal (size 7 1/2) that I've been really needing to replace but I haven't found any that were comfortable. I am so glad I went ahead and ordered these online!So far so wonderful!! I don't want to take them off.
so comfy and kind to my feet. I have an old pair that i have worn for over 4 years and i have so worn them out. Great replacement. Keen is the best !
Perfect!
