Comfy right out of the box - As soon as I received the Mystic sandals, I wore them on a trip to view the fall colors in northern New Mexico. Comfy from day one.

These shoes look just as good as they feel! Wore them on a scree trail for their first outing and loved the way my toes were protected without the claustrophobic feel of a full shoe. I did stop to take them off and empty the gravel out of the footbed twice but that's expected. They performed very well with no slipping and no breaking in period. Bought size 5 (usual size) and find they're fine with or without a sock.

Comfort at last!
I am on my feet for ten hours a day working as a nurse. I waited too long to buy new shoes and my feet were killing me. These shoes are great. They were comfortable right out of the box. I will be buying another pair. I have a high instep so I do not lace them to the top.

Cool new looks make sandal more city than trail -
This sandal is great!! When I opened the box, my husband said "Those are the best looking Keen shoes I've seen!" The swooped design of the straps makes the shoe more stylish & feminine than the Newports and they do not have as large a rubber toe guard - they look great sightseeing, museum touring, shopping, etc. They are also cooler than Newports due to the more open strap design. I do not think I'd go on an extensive trail hike in the Mystics -- they are not quite as supportive as Newports because you can't fully cinch down the straps all around your foot -- they are more like a sandal/MaryJane hybrid. I did have to put in some small arch support pads (FootSmart sells a very handy set of adjustable arch pads) because they did not have enough support for my arch - I fastened them down with double-sided tape. I found the Mystics run more true to size than Newports -- I could take my normal size 8 1/2 instead of the 9's I need in Newports. I agree with other writers that the buckle is small and can sometimes be hard to work but mine are getting easier as I use the buckles more. All in all, a fabulous shoe!

Not for those with short toes!
I love these shoes -- but my little toes kept popping out of the outside opening. Not much arch support for high arches. Some rubbing at the Achilles tendon part of the heel -- probably would have broken in nicely but for the toe issue. No "toe ridge" on the insole, which is great -- I could have gotten the Newports except the toe ridge on the insole (between ball of foot and start of toes -- hit on the wrong place. Surprised no one else mentioned it.) The Mystics insole is smooth. These are less roomy than other Keens I have, but half a size is still a good bet. The red is a beautiful deep red, not tomato-y and the grey and blue is beautiful, too. Those of you with long toes that won't pop out are lucky!
Other shoes recommended by reviewer: If keen would make the Newport insole smooth -- no toe ridge-- I'd be in heaven...

Great!
The transition from a New York City street to a hiking trail upstate, into a stream, onto a boat and back again has never been more fluid. All around great outdoor summer sport/walk to the office in midtown shoe.

I have seen Keens on other people and never had a pair. Now I understand why people are so excited about their shoes and many of my friends wear ONLY Keens. If they can find the style they want in a Keen shoe that is what they buy. I know a woman who has over 20 pairs of Keens. The Mystic is super comfortable, attractive, durable, and will be my favorite shoe from now on. It is like a sandal but it has the toe protection that I sometimes need when open toe sandals are not appropriate. Thanks for making this great style of Keen shoe. I will be ordering other colors this week.
Thanks for making such great shoes.
Other shoes recommended by reviewer: I would recommend anything made by Keen. I also like two other brands, Merrells and Columbias.

I purchased these sandals for my summer trip to Rome. They were wonderful for walking along the cobblestone paths. Better yet, there was no breaking-in period. The only drawback is that the buckle is small and could be a little tricky to undo.

Sturdy and comfortable - The buckle is small and a little difficult to use, but the rest of the shoe is great. I always order Keens a half size larger and that worked with this shoe also. Very comfortable shoe.

Great shoe with lots of toe room -
Lots of room at the toes. I have wide feet so this is nice. Has a nice clip to fasten. Sometimes a pain to take off. Very wide shoe. I am a 9.5 but ordered a 10 and it fit.

Gr8 shoe -
I love this shoe. It has a super look, and it is more comfortable than I had expected. It has a funky arch that isn't "exactly" in tune with my foot, but close enough for comfortable extended wear. I had to order my regular size which was a bit disconcerting since feedback info said order smaller. Looks are fantastic.

Great arch support but could not find a size to fit. I love the look and the arch support of this shoe. Unfortunately the size 7.5 was too snug in the toe area and the 8 was too big in the heel area. A chain saw and some super glue might have worked but the fine look of this shoe would have been ruined. As always super easy to return to Zappos and try another style.

This is a new style for Keen. After reading other reviews I first ordered this in a 6, but true to Keen, I had to return it and order a 6.5, which fit great. This is a comfy summer shoe with good arch support. I hope they make this in more colors.

This is the first Keen sandal I have tried on that actually fits. I did need to go up half a size though (usually wear a size 7; in this sandal, I needed a size 7.5). I'm not finding the buckle to be a problem (as noted by a couple of other reviewers); the top adjustable strap provides a secure and comfortable fit; and the toe box is nice and wide. And Zappos, of course, always provides the most excellent customer service.

Like walking on air - I absolutely adore these sandals!!! I work in healthcare, and am on my feet nearly all day. I have 2 other pairs of Keen shoes and wanted sandals to wear in warmer weather, so I didn't need to wear socks. Keen shoes are the best!!! I can honestly state they're the most comfortable, supportive footwear I've ever owned. I have wide feet, so Keen footwear works really well for me. It's also great to have women's shoes that are as sturdy as men's.

Love Keens -
This is one of the cutest Keen shoes to date. The buckle could be a little larger, but so far has not been a problem. I have a narrow foot and it fits like my other Keens. I own nine pairs of Keen shoes! I always order a half size larger than I usually wear.

Buckle design not great -
I continue to love the wide toed comfort of Keen shoes, but this one is problematic for me. I have a narrow foot and the buckle does not snug up enough to fit securely. I corrected this by slipping in a 3/4 orthotic to take up the space, but other problems remained. The strap slips in the buckle closure, so the shoe loosens up with walking. The buckle is also rather small and its position on the side of the shoe makes it somewhat awkward to fasten and unfasten. It is NOT a hiking shoe, but I like it anyway for casual and undemanding walking.

Sad -
Thought I would really like these shoes... but, sad to say, my feet did not... my insteps are too much for these shoes... and the ankle is not as adjustable as it looks... so I will be returning them, in hopes that I can fond another sandal for the summer... sigh...

They are comfortable enough, although I can't see myself walking extensive distances in them, as I feel the city pavement beneath my feet much more than with my other Keen shoes. I also find the snap buckle a bit difficult for me to snap closed because it is so small and a bit difficult to grip due to numbness in my fingers caused by side effects of a life saving necessary medication I have taken for 8 years.

Italian Travel Shoes -
I wore these fabulously comfortable shoes all over the Amalfi Coast of Italy and Rome. Through the cobblestone streets, across the Tiber River and back. I usually buy Keens shoes in 9, but find their sandals fit me in 8.5
Comfort from day 1.

Fun to wear -
Totally comfortable out of the box. I wore these shoes all day long, no break-in time at all. I have other Keen sandals and this shoe lets in less debris into the footbed on walks in the woods which is helpful. My only reservation is that the click snap is small and sometimes a little tricky to disengage. I hope it holds up.

Even more comfortable than my Newports!
I love my plum-colored Newports, but they do make my feet hot and they also make my legs look stumpy when I wear them with shorts. I wanted something as comfortable but that was a bit more ventilated and also a more neutral color.
The Mystics have even better arch support than the Newports. The straps are diagonal, which makes my short, wide foot look less duck like than my other Keens, and they are lined with nice soft neoprene. The footbed is supportive and very cushiony. I like the buckle strap; it is quick and easy to adjust. My feet definitely feel cooler in these than in the Newports; though if you want Keens for the hottest days go for the Zerraport.
I got the Simply Taupe color and it is a nice neutral that goes with everything. I've gotten several compliments on them already.
I wear a 7 in some Keens, a 7.5 in others. These were perfect in a 7.

 |  | What a totally pleasant surprise -
It is very common in this internet shopping world to be disappointed with an order, but Zappos has not only delivered what they promised, they "delighted the customer." I placed my order at about 2:30 in the afternoon (11:30 pacific time) with no special shipping requests and they were here at 10:00am the following morning. I did not pay any extra for shipping, actually shipping was free, and the product that arrived was exactly what I ordered. They fit perfectly and Zappos has a customer for life. What a pleasant surprise!! |  | ~ Steve, November 28 2008
