Customer Reviews KEEN Monterey

Second best but pretty good - I bought these after returning a pair of Birkenstock fishermen's sandals that were miserably uncomfortable, and, while they're okay, they haven't the elegant proportions of the Birkis (which would have looked fine with casual skirts) and they don't come in narrows, as Birkis do. On the other hand, they don't have the disadvantages of the Birkis: a front seam that ripped my instep to shreds and a too-short front that mashed my toes. The Montery also felt comfy and supportive right out of the box, though wider than I'd like. I hate having to wear socks with sandals, but that's how it is for people with long, skinny feet. Bottom line: comfortable but aggressively ugly. I'll wear them for casual, but certainly not when I want to feel well dressed.

Great shoe after breaking them in - I really liked the look and features of this shoe. Once I got them, it took a little while to break them in especially the straps over my arch. They are sized a little smaller than expected across the top of the foot but roomy for your toes.

As Expected From Keen... superb comfort. And it seems they are trying to make the shoes look a little more stylish, less geeky ;o) Though I own plenty of the geeky styles myself. As usual, I had to order a half- size larger, as I do for all the Keen styles.

Cute but Too Hot For a Sandal - These shoes are very cute and felt good on my feet once I ordered the next size up but they were very hot, even inside on a moderate day. They did squeak when I walked, even when I took out the insole and inserted my orthotics, but I didn't want to try putting powder in since I was going to return them.

not in love - Based on everyone else's reviews, I ordered these shoes and wanted to love them. But I ended up returning them; too short, too narrow, and too clunky...

Unfortunately Disappointed - Dear Zappos - this is my 6th pair of Keen shoe - and I have LOVED them all - BUT the Monterey seems defective. I always wear a size 8 but this one is too large and the lip inside pinches my foot - very uncomfortable. All my other Keen shoes have all been excellent - they fit like a glove - I own one pair of Jamestown, two pairs of Seattle, one pair of Providence and one pair of Bronx! The Monterey needs to be redesigned!!

Cool and Comfy - These shoes are so comfortable and supportive and I think that they look stylish too. To have all of these requirements in one pair of shoes is fabulous!!!
