    I love the ease of summer wear...slip off and on. I have owned four pairs of the "flip flop" style Keens and have been VERY happy with all of them. I have had foot problems; pain is no longer a problem. These gave me the arch support I needed and I wear Keens all year long in various styles. These are the only "flip flops" I can wear. I have my easy summer footwear!

    Best sandal ever!!! I bought this sandal when I was in Iraq to help with the back and forth walk in large gravel. Since then I have not been able to find a better sandal. Light, rugged, and unique in its looks. The description of the sandal is true to its word and I can tell you that it far exceeds all my expectations. I have been looking for a replacement or companions to my other pair. I have not seen them for a while, so I think I'm stocking up while they are around. My only suggestion would be more colors and if that is already a done deal.

    I owned last year’s version of the Waimea, and these look to be the same style. I came back because I was hoping Keen had fixed the toepost such that it were polyester webbing instead of hard rubber. After trying three different sizes, I could not find one that wouldn’t give me blisters between my toes after a few hours of wear. It was a real shame as I loved the fit/look. On the bright side, I love the Keen Barbados (though the sole is not as nice), and Zappos was great about returns (I had only worn them inside). Keen: Please fix this! I want to buy your product!

    Brands I'd also recommend: Keen (Barbados)

    These KEEN versions of flip-flops are almost the perfect shoe on every point. I still wear the ones I bought on Zappos over 3 years ago. I wear them almost daily in the warm months (6 months of the year here) and just absent-mindedly slip them on for everything from going to the store, the park, and a long trip, to even yard and garden work or trail hiking. They are supportive, comfortable, and seemingly indestructible. Throw them in the wash; they still look almost like new. The toe protector is well designed and gives me confidence to do things in them I'd never do in normal thong-sandals. I think I'll buy another pair, even though I don't need to yet... just for a different color.

    Brands I'd also recommend: Chuck Taylors, any KEENs, Reef

    Great flip flops - This is my 2nd pair of Keen sandals. The get lots of attention - everyone notices them. The best part about them is they cover your big toe - so if someone steps on your foot it's not nearly as bad as it could be, and they are very comfortable. They are great in crowds, too, because you don't have to mind other peoples feet when you can't see yours!

    Arizona Keen lover - I had my last pair of Keens two years, loved everything about them. The new ones are even better with a molded toe wrap. I wear them almost every day and have no complaints.

    Brands I'd also recommend: I love other keen styles as well.

    Wonderful sandals! I have a pair of Keen hiking shoes that I like so a couple of years ago I bought a pair of the Keen Waimea sandals for hot weather use. I wear them a LOT here in the desert southwest - our summers are six months long. They are so comfortable and long-lasting, that this year I bought a second pair. Just as comfortable, just as cool! They really turn heads.

    Brands I'd also recommend: Most Keen shoes are an excellent choice.

    I bought a pair of black/grey Keen Waimea H2 last month. Love these sandals - this is my second pair. They are comfortable right out of the box and are true to size. I've gotten so many compliments on them and always direct people to Zappos.com since this place is the absolute best, hassle free shopping experience. And free shipping to and fro doesn't get any easier than this.

    They look great and are very comfortable. I saw in previous reviews that they ran small, so I purchased a 1/2 size larger than my normal size and had to return the first pair for my regular true size. I am very happy with them and how easy they were to exchange with Zappos.

    GREAT SANDAL! Extremely comfortable and low foot sweat. No splitting or cracking issues like in the Keen Yogui so far. I've been a wearer of Keen, Sanuk, and Reefs for years and Keen always comes out on top for comfort level and cool styles.

    My wife had a pair approximately 3 three years ago and every year I would say to her "I would really love to have a pair." Well they are exactly like I thought they would be. They mold into my feet and I'm very comfortable in them. They actually feel like I not wearing anything. I'm very pleased with my purchase.

    Brands I'd also recommend: Not that really in to shoes to offer an opinion. I basically wear sneakers

    I own two pairs of this particular style that I purchased previously. While one suffered a break of the thong (I suppose that's what you call the piece that rests between the big and next toe), which is irreparable, the other pair is going strong. I love these sandals as they are the perfect "hot weather" companion while sailing in light or moderate winds in the Chesapeake Bay. The toe protector has saved my toes on many occasions as I scurried about the deck adjusting the running rigging. I was quite pleased when I received the current pair, as they appear to have experienced a cycle or two of improvements over my previous pairs. They even have a more of a look of quality. Trustfully, the "thong" won't break on one of the sandals as I scurry about the deck. Thanks, Zappos, Captain Tony

    I was at 1st hesitant to spend this much on sandals. But now I’m glad, though there was a solid break-in period for them. When I first got the sandals, I got some blisters where the band was, probably because I wore them all night at a bar the 1st time. And my 2nd toe kept rubbing up where the opening was. But I just realize my feet were not used to being in such specific sandals. Now I absolutely love these guys. So comfortable with great arch support, most importantly, I have NOT stubbed my toes several times now, ranging from the standard edge of the table to the big bones that dogs leave lying around. I love my Keens! D

    The design for this shoe was a great idea...but when actually realized this isn't a very comfortable shoe. The length between the toe thong and the toe guard didn't fit my toes well, as well as the height of the toe guard didn't really fit the shape of my toes. When wearing these shoes I feel like my big toe is being stepped on...just very uncomfortable. I was surprised because the other Keen shoes I have (Newport H2 and Venice H2) are super comfortable.

    Very comfortable, great for daily use - I bought the previous avatar of these (Antigua H2) for my father who is blind and tends to hit his toes on furniture/legs while indoors. He also had a slip-and-fall following weakness related to hospitalization. I bought these for two reasons: the skid-proof sole and the toe-guard. He has been very happy with these, and loves them. The toe-hold (that goes between the big toe and 2nd toe) cracked after more than a year of DAILY wear. So I bought the 2nd pair, (now known as?) Waimea H2. They are very comfortable, skid-proof, and great for daily wear.

    This shoe/sandal has an extremely comfortable sole. Nice and soft and good arch support. Two things that bother me: 1) the toe cover covers my big toe well, but my other toes have a tendency to want to wiggle out from under the toe cover. I wish that the toe cover/protection was curved more to cover the rest of my toes. 2) I have 4 other pair of Keen shoes: Targhee, Austin, Newport, and my favorite, the Richmond. They are all in size 10, but the size 10 Waimea was way too big and I downsized to a size 9.
