Keen La Paz Thong SKU: #7718685

I ordered this shoe, and the La Paz strap. I liked this shoe better. The shoe was true to size, just a little narrower then I thought it would be. I got the green color and it was good. The buckle is slightly tricky to get open but I loosened the straps enough that I was able to get my foot into it. Also the back strap is velcro, which is hard to tell from the picture. I haven't decided if I'm keeping them yet for the summer. I will be returning the La Paz straps though. I do have the Newport H2 and those fit fine and are comfortable. If you have wide feet these may not work for you. Well, hope this helps.

Since I bought these in March, I held off on reviewing until I'd given these a road test (aka dog walk). It can be hard to tell, just walking around your living room so you don't scuff 'em up while still deciding whether to keep or not. But I'd decided to keep based on a couple things: These are, in theory, just what I wanted -- outdoorsy sandals with good walkability and weather resistance, without the clunky look and heaviness of Teva or Chaco strap-ons. I have bony feet, no getting around it. So sandals, in general, have a habit of being too loose. Consequently, I'm looking for enough "points of contact," strapwise, to inhibit too much front to back or lateral play. These would be almost perfect in that department if they added one more strap running from the instep to side of little toe. As it is, I swim around a bit more than I love, but these are close. And I do like the way they look. So I'm hoping my decision will turn out to be a good call and suitable for longer walks than my old dog is capable of.

I am always looking for a comfortable walking sandal that can get wet and still be comfy walking all day at a theme park, running, errands, keeping up with two little ones at the pool, etc. I have Chacos and wanted to give these a shot because I liked how the thinner straps, and less bulky bottoms looked more feminine. After just walking in my house I can tell there is no way I could do a day's worth of walking in these - while they do look nice on the foot, those thin straps kind of dig in between your toes. I tried adjusting the fit with the back strap but it did not help. They need to put a loop of material around the strap that goes between the toes, so that straight edge does not dig into your skin. I got the tan straps, and when you look down at them on your feet, it looks weird that the foot bed is grey...doesn't match. They should have made it some shade of tan or brown. They do seem a bit narrow through the arch, but true to length. You have to really pinch the black clip to make it open. Too bad; I have to send them back because they do look nice, but for the price they need to be way more comfortable.

These 'floaters' are very comfortable. I usually wear a size 7, but had ordered both 7 and 7.5 after reading some comments about the straps digging in, but didn't find that to be true for me. So, I'm keeping the 7s and returning the 7.5s. Perfect for next 6 months of weather!

I bought these in the black color and I love them! I'm always looking for a comfortable and durable sandal that can get wet and go everywhere. These are more comfortable than flip flops, and more feminine than other Keen sandals. The clip is hard to open, but you can easily take them off with the back strap. A good purchase.

I love these! They are very comfortable to walk in, durable, yet more feminine than my other Keens. I generally wear a 6.5 but always buy a 7 in Keens. Since these are built differently, I ordered both to check and the 6.5 was perfect. I got the coral color. It's cute! You can just use the velcro heel strap to put these on and off. You never need to open the clip, which is good because it is almost impossible to open.

I already own 3 pairs of KEEN sandals but have always wanted a pair with more feminine look and water friendly, that is why I bought this pair. I ordered both size 6.5 and 7. My usual KEEN size is 6.5. But too bad I have to return both pairs. This sandals look very pretty on the feet, soles are soft and comfortable. My problem is the toe strap is very uncomfortable, it keeps digging into between my toes. At first I think it is probably the size is too small. But the same thing happens when I try the larger size. Very disappointed.

Love 'em! Like the way they look. They are true to size, but you can loosen or tighten them at the back and on top. They give some support to my feet, which I need, so that's great! Cool shoe.

Great sandal, fit is true to size and over all is very comfortable. I love the small strap width, feels like you hardly have anything on your feet yet it has great support.

I have been on an extensive search for a stylish sandal that has some support but will look cute with anything including skirts. I'm off to Italy for a few weeks and need a light weight option that I can wear for lots of walking. I am very happy with this purchase, the style is perfect, the arch support is just enough for me and they are comfortable; can't wait to go test them out in Italy!

If you are planning any trip where walking is involved, you must have this shoe. I purchased this shoe for our disney world trip and I wore them for 8 straight days and I didn't have one blister, sore toe, etc. I felt like I was walking on air. This is the best shoe ever.

Most Keens fit me well and are great shoes. These are too small and the non-adjustable straps across the instep are a bad idea for people like me with high insteps. For a narrower foot and a "normal" instep this might be ideal. I wish these worked for me because I want a truly waterproof sole for wading in wetland areas.

This shoe in incredibly comfortable, very light-weight, and not bulky at all. I was looking for a sandal that was suitable for the outdoors and long walks, but I hated the clunky look of Chacos, etc. I have a pretty narrow foot, and this shoe fits excellently. I ordered my usual size and it fit like a glove, however I would advise ordering a size up if in between sizes of if you have a wider foot. I ordered the coral color and love the look and feel. Still very versatile and functional yet feminine. The adjustable straps don't rub or feel awkward at all, and I have very sensitive feet. Extremely pleased with my purchase!

I absolutely love these sandals. I bought them to wear on vacation where I'll be doing a lot of walking, and they are so comfortable, it feels like being barefoot. I especially like the adjustability of the straps so you can fit them to your feet and ankles.

It seems like money is a lot for these sandals but they are comfortable. The webbing was a bit tight so I took a razor blade and delicately removed the stitching at 2 places in the front of each sandal. The foot bed is too narrow cause ladies don't have wide feet, do they?

I would love this shoe if it were sized as all of my other Keens are! I have a few pairs and I always get a size 10 which fits me perfectly. I got a size 10 here and I feel like I need a 10.5! They are more narrow then my other Keens, my pinkie toe hangs off of the side in these! I am going to order a 10.5 and hope they work out!

These are incredible shoes and are my new favorites! I've had Tevas in this style in the past but I love the smaller straps on these and the cute styles that can go with anything. These shoes are both versatile, tough and stylish. Good job, Keen!

These are the first Keens that I have been willing to wear. They are not bulky or uncomfortable like I find the other styles to be. These are light as air, and I love that I can wear them in the water as well. The adjustable straps ensure they are snug and secure. The between-the-toe portion does not bother me. I found these to run small. I normally wear a 7, and I ordered a 7.5 in these. They fit exactly. I could have ordered up another half size if I wanted a bit of extra room at the front and back, but I think these will be fine. It depends on how you like your sandals. I ended up purchasing both the black and coffee, and both are great. I also liked the olive green shade.
