These are nice looking and seem comfy (like other Keens) but I sent them back because they were too big (even though I ordered the same size as another Keen pair that I have that fits well). I thought they looked like they would fit up on my foot better than these do. I am not a "flip flop" fan.

Good fit and feel. Look terrific. If flip flops are too informal...and these protect your toes in the urban wilderness.

Exactly what I needed, a supportive simple slip on with some toe protection! Havaianas are great for short jaunts to get the mail etc., but I've worm them too much while in Hawaii and paid the price with sore and swollen big toe joints and aching feet. I also broke my toe wearing flip flops. Still love flip flops, it's just less painful to realize the limits of flip flops.

I really wanted these shoes to work for me but sadly they felt too wide and looked like house slippers on my feet (not flattering in the least!). Keens are great shoes but maybe not the shoe for me.

Love the color. Goes with everything. Easy on and off without being between your toes. Comfortable, and sturdy.

I have an old pair of this style Keens in a bright green. I love it and have almost worn it out after almost 4 years. It is great for travel, casual wear... an great alternative to flip flops.

They are cute and comfortable. I didn't have a problem with the color wearing off on my pedicure. The only reason I would not order another pair is that I prefer to have a completely open toe sandal. I have arthritis in my big toes and they sometimes feel a little funny when I take the sandals off.

Very nicely constructed shoe. It is comfortable, but I wouldn't wear it around town all day, more of just a running errands or going to the beach type shoe.

This shoe is very cute, but I am still not sure if it will be going back yet or not. I usually wear a 10 in Keens, but had to get a 10.5 in these. I have been looking for a slide on sandal since I already have 2 pairs of the Venice H2. The only problem I have had with this shoe is that when I walk, it pinches the top of my foot right where the little K emblem is. I know my other keens were tighter when I got them and stretched a little, but I'm not sure if these will or not. I am very happy with Zappos' shipping! This is the second order I have recently placed that they shipped overnight! I have always been happy with the customer service and shipping and will continue to shop at Zappos.com!

Keen Bali -
This shoe is very versatile and generally comfortable. I got some chafing on the inner edge which seems to be abating.

Glad I did it -
I really like the way they protect toes, I'd like it more if it came in a narrow, but Keen doesn't seem to do that much. I think they will be my most used shoe in summer; I get nice compliments when I wear them.

Better than flip- flops -
I bought this shoe in green, for a trip to Mexico, anticipating mucho beach time. It was super easy on and off, and I didn't have to worry about it getting wet. I was secure walking, and at first I wore them too much, and got a semi-blister. The shoes look pretty silly, though. I noticed a lot of people looking at my feet. I'm not sure if this is good or bad.

Did OK with these -
I bought these shoes to wear on our first Walt Disney World trip. I am 5 months pregnant and my feet are pretty swollen. A friend suggested these shoes to me. I am glad I bought them. I still had some problems being on my feet for so long and all the walking but overall, they are pretty good shoes.

Great shoe - disappointed in fit -
My husband has 3 pairs of Keens, all our friends have gotten them, my neighbor has multiple pairs so I finally decided to jump on the bandwagon. I'm so disappointed that these don't fit quite right! They felt wide through the forefoot, which was surprising since I've been told by running stores that I have a wide forefoot. Go figure. Still a really cool shoe, for those who it fits. Unfortunately, the width made my foot feel like it was sliding forward so then I wasn't lined up with the arch support. Just not right for my foot, I guess.

I started wearing Keen shoes 2 years ago and they fast became one of my favorite brands. While this shoe certainly has all the great Keen characteristics, I do not like the styling as well as I did the previous year's model. They do not have the "perfect" fit as last year's did.

Nice slide -
These are a good summer slide; I have worn them several times. Though for some reason I always feel like my feet are sweating in them. If only they had a real suede foot-bed. I think they'd be heavenly. Other than the sweating thing. I like the fact that my toes are protected. That is a major thing when you’re out running around. Flip-flops leave your toes vulnerable to destruction...so if you’re a bit hard on your feet give these a try. You can throw them in the wash as well...They are waterproof!

Overall, I like the sandal, but it's a bit too wide for me. I feel like I have to hold the shoe on with my toes or it'll come flying off. It's a cute shoe, just a bit clunky.

A bit more of a strap -
Small toes come out of the shoe, another strap in the front side would be great- or a wider strap- would keep the toes from edging out.

I saw these shoes in a window in Key West. I didn't get the time to buy them there so when I got home I searched in Zappos and there they were. The toe thing was strange and my 3rd toe kept hitting the edge of it. But after about a day or two they were fine & I was off to the furniture Market in High Point, N.C. which requires constant walking all day long. The day I wore them I was asked many times what they were and where to get them. So I think I sold about 10 pairs of Keen Bali that day. The two things I don't care for is I thought the step of the shoe would be softer. It's very firm and the touch is a little rough on the bottom of my feet. Not for slipper use. The other is it covers up a beautiful pedicure. A Very unusual looking shoe. It looks like you have a flower on your foot. Definitely a hippie shoe.

Cute Shoe -
Keen Bali’s are not as comfortable as the other 6 pairs of Keens I own. They are still more comfortable than other brands, but less comfortable than I expect from Keen.

Nice, but…
A half size larger might have helped, but I decided not to stay with this style. The top fits further forward on the foot so there's a little more of a flip-flop feel than the St. Bart’s so I decided to pass. Cute on the foot though, in that quirky Keen way.

Comfy from the get-go -
I got these shoes in the scarlet red. I was able to wear them easily from the very beginning. They look a little clumsy at first...but then I wear the size 11, so that's almost a given for me. I like them and would probably buy another pair in another color.

This is my 4th pair since I bought my first pair over 13 years ago. I noticed that the sole on this most recent pair, however, feels much for stiff than my previous 3 pairs, which were comfortable right out of the box. These seem to be made of harder rubber and don’t provide as soft a cushion as previously. Sadly, this may be the last pair I buy. I’ve also learned that the soles don’t stay glued together over time, as the darker portions separate from the lighter portion of the sole. I’ve glued it repeatedly, only because I really like this slip on style that covers my toes, but between the poor durability and now the stiff sole, I’ll be searching for a new sandal.

I have a pair of the Waimea's that I lived in last summer, so I ordered the Bali's because they were cuter. I take a 9 in every shoe I wear, but these were about a half size too small. My foot didn't really slide all the way in and my foot kept falling out of them. Would recommend a half size up.

I've been a Keen person for years and have worn many styles of their shoes but this shoe runs narrower than their other styles. I'm going to exchange for another flip-flop style and hope its not as narrow.
