User Reviews
I have searched, bought, and returned countless sandals looking for utopia. At last, I have found them. If you are on the fence about buying another pair of shoes, don't hesitate - these are AWESOME. The sole of these shoes prevents shock and impact from reaching my feet and leg joints. There are no places where my feet get abraded or irritated. The front of the sandal is especially roomy, ideal for those suffering from wide feet and/or hammertoes. I don't even have to undue the straps to slide my feet in, as the straps are stretchy and padded. DAMN! All materials used are long-lasting and very strong. They are also damn cute. I hate to take them off and go barefoot. I dare to say "They are too comfortable" and wonder how I deserve to have such perfection. Whoever designed these shoes is a miracle worker who I hope is working on more miracles for us huge fans. Keen, please start production on more shoes by this designer. The world will beat a path to your door then knock it down to buy everything.
Great Keen quality. Comfortable and true to size. Versatile style for dress or casual. I wore them on a short hike and they worked out okay. The extra padding material on the heel strap is a great additional feature.
Great Support. Love these shoes.
Love the look and fit. Wear all the time. My favorite Keen. Feminine and beautiful but still a Keen.
These are great sandals, very comfortable, can't fault them. Especially good for people with broad feet, I would have thought.
I ordered my usual 10.5, and was surprised these sandals were about an inch too long. Since they are gorgeous, I exchanged for size 10. Unfortunately, there's no velcro adjustment at the heel, and they were too loose for the kind of walking I'd do in them. The heel is held in place by stretchy fabric which is *very* comfy, but my heel slid around too much. Had to return. Love Keen tho! Wide toe boxes AND 10.5 sizing, so hard to find! Will try another pair.
Very comfy and functional sandals.
I bought a pair of olive green but the Velcro straps were black instead of matching color, they look like a mistake or defective, really cheap looking, I'm a Keen fan, can't believe Keen would do this.
