Columbia Kea™ SKU: #7593283

These sandals are cute and snug on the foot. They don't flip and flop as much as most flip-flops. If they fit properly, they would be comfortable, I think. But the problem is, these are much narrower than previous incarnations of Columbia sandals. At first I thought my feet were just somehow wider, but then I held them up to my standard width sandals that I'd purchased from Columbia a few years ago, and was astonished to discover that they were 1/2-3/4 of an inch narrower. I wear a size 11, and it seems like they just took a size 7 and lengthened it, rather than accounting for an all over bigger foot. The length itself is also an issue. The toe area is cut very long, and the toe loop is set a little far back, so my heel dangles off the back of the sandal after wearing it for just a minute or two. So they feel about a half size too small. I'm sending these back, but I do hope that Columbia gets their act together again!

I bought these sandals because it looks like the Nevis sandal very,very,very comfortable!!! But, they don't carry my size anymore. Anyway! Not happy with Kea, the floral cutout where my foot lays, it hurts when I walk. not good for SENSITIVE FEET. If they would redesign and take out the floral cutout it would be perfect!

There are many of us who cannot wear flipflops (those things that go between your toes) yet we want an easy slip-on. In the past I have purchased an identical shoe such as the Kea for twice the price. I was very happy to find this shoe at a reasonable price. It is very comfortable....especially or an 87 year old woman.

These are very comfy sandals. The only problem I have with Columbia (same as with Merrell) is that they don't offer half sizes. I am a 6 1/2, and 7 is too big and 6 is a little short. Don't know why they don't want to acknowledge half sizes--seems like it excludes a lot of sales.

I love these Kea and Nevis toe ring sandals! These are the sandals I wear everyday almost from April through Sept at least. They have a wonderful arch support and the toe ring is the perfect size and fit. It makes a longer big toe look smaller, and I have every color made in them. The newer Kea for this year does need to be worn a couple times as they are a little narrower.

Comfortable, lightweight, and fit narrow feet as well as medium width. I have a narrow width and it is hard for me to find sandals that fit good. I love them!

These are the most comfortable and useful summer sandals I\'ve had for a long time. They conceal my small bunion, too. And have enough arch support for some serious walking. They\'re my beach vacation essentials. I highly recommend them!

These shoes are not only comfortable, but look great! I ordered a size smaller than normal because I find that Columbia sandals run large. You will not be disappointed if you order these!

This is not as comfortable as the Nevis style which seems to be discontinued. I found it to be skimpier and narrower and made me miss the Nevis even more.

I love these! I had 3 pairs of Columbia flip flops from 2 years ago and one in this round-the-big-toe style, and I wore them out. I wear them around the house, shopping, walking... they're comfy for 16 hours. They're snug yet flexible so I don't have to worry about stepping out of them, a problem I have with most flip-flops. And I'm sensitive to having something rubbing between my toes, not a problem with these. I love the snug and comfy fit of these and the redesigned more sport sole. Please ask Columbia to keep making these in lots of colors. I'll buy a few pairs every year! I think I've sold a few dozen to my friends and family, too.

I ordered these sandals as I had worn a similar pair made by Columbia. The price is certainly right, but the best part is the way they fit around my bunions. They don\'t make them look so terrible either--as many other sandals do. And the shoes are quite comfortable and true to size. I recommend them for folks who search through hundreds of shoes to find ones that are suited to their bunioned feet.

Love these sandals! After wearing them for a few days, I bought 2 more pair! They suggest to go down a size on half sizes, but don't do it. I am a 7 1/2 and needed an 8.

I love these sandals. I got a pair last year and made a point to order a couple this year. I wear them when I jetski, or walking around. They are so comfortable. This pair actually look pretty nice you can wear them with casual pants, skirt, jeans shorts. Very flexible.

I do and always will highly recommend Zappos to everyone. The service is beyond wonderful. They are very awesome to talk with and kind and very pleasant. If you have a return the website is very easy to follow and can print your own label and it is free. They have a huge variety of choices and more than 2 of your size like most stores do. I would never buy shoes from another place. Zappos is over the top for my family and I. Thanks you guys for making shoe shopping so pleasant and fun.

Not really happy with these shoes. I bought a pair 5 years ago and wore them constantly. They wore well and fit great. The new model is much lighter and fits differently. My foot tends to slide back in the shoe as I walk and it won't stay snug across the toes. Definitely not worth the money I paid for them.

Great sandals! First Columbia brand I've had but will have more in future. Was very disappointed that Zappos didn't do next day shipping like they used to though. That was a really big draw for me. But the shoes are cute & very comfortable.
