It’s super comfortable, I don’t usually like to wear shoes that looks so casual but these sandals are so good I got a second pair as a gift to my friend right away

Mostly comfortable. There is a place on the inside of the right sandal that rubs on my foot just a bit. Other than that, the shoes are great.

second try, crooked straps, toes poor craftsmanship compared to older keens. Plastic shoes for a high price that are not even made correctly.

I discovered this brand when I was vacationing and needed comfortable shoes to walk in. I bought two pairs and have been wearing them ever since. I was thrilled to find the Bali sandal and ordered the black pair. Fortunately, I already knew what size I needed. They are a bit long but that keeps me from walking on the back lip, which I know would be uncomfortable. Since we have a pool I love that they are washable and I have confidence that they will hold up to the exposure of pool water. I plan to order all colors.

I really love this sandal. I had my last pair for years, and wore it everywhere, including salt water for kayaking and hiking. The shoes just kept going! I finally abandoned them in the Queenstown, NZ airport because I wanted a new pair. Happy to be getting a different color, and happy that the style is still available.

I am not gonna beat around the bush and i am gonna get straight to the point for those who like to read reviews quickly! I am a Keen fan; I Have 4 pairs of their sandals. Mostly the H2 styles. Those sandals run small or average depending on your foot. In my case size 11 seems to be the average for me. Some shoes i can get a 10 in but usually 11. Anyway... for these Balis i have read way too many reviews and no straight answer in some. These do run a 1/2 size bigger. So 10.5 ended up perfect ?? they are very comfortable and i like the toe enclosure (I am diabetic so air flow is important to me). Arch support is decent. And i love that i can just slide them on to wear. No wonder there are over 1k reviews on these shoes. Get them while you can!!

I have been eying these for quite some time, having tried them on at a local store. When I saw the Zappos price of $69.95, I knew my wait was over. Great fit, although there was not much difference between the 7 and the 7.5, surprisingly enough. The 7.5 was just a bit more comfortable so ended up keeping those - also, as it turns out, I preferred the Magnet/Neutral Grey over the size 7 in Agate Grey/Dark Olive. I have 12 other pairs of Keens from sandals, to sneakers to boots and shoes and I am never disappointed with the quality and comfort.

Love this shoe! This is my second pair as the first pair finally wore out on the inside after 15 years!!! I use these for hiking -- keeping my old pair as house shoes.

I love these sandals. They keep my toes safe (have broken one toe a number of times). They are cute and comfortable. This is my second pair. I recently bought a pair for my mom.

I love these sandals. I used to wear thong sandals, but with my broken toe I needed something that would provide protection. I won't go back to flip-flops. I am on my second pair and just bought a pair for my mom.

These are the best pair of sandals I have ever owned. I would wear them non stop if I could :) I have ordered black pairs in the past and now I can't find them in my size (10) or I would order another pair. They last for years.

I buy these nearly every year. With this years model I had to buy a 1/2 size smaller. The straps were looser than in the past.

I love these shoes. They are very comfortable, have great arch support and are really nice looking. I want to buy a second pair in another color. The only problem is that they do run large. I usually take an 8 in sandals that I do not wear socks with. The 8 was really large. I traded for a 7 1/2 which is good, with a little extra room.

I love these shoes and own many pairs. Sadly, this pair is too long. I will reorder a half size shorter.

This is my second pair and I can't imagine not having them in summer. I am on my feet all day and these are what gets me through the day! They are comfortable, they protect my toes and easy to slip on and off.

These are very lightweight and good-looking slippers. But for my foot, it's a bit too wide and about a half size too long. I usually buy a 7 1/2 and these are a 7 1/2, but I don't know if I should have ordered a 7 instead. I am somewhere in-between the two sizes I think. Maybe at a later date I'll order the size 7 to see. But I have been wearing them for a week now and although a bit floppy, I'm enjoying them. I plan to take them on a trip later this later to use as house slippers. Thank you.

I have not worn Keens before, but I was desperate to find something comfy that I could wear around the house and go outside and water my plants without slip sliding or ruining the shoes. I am 62, have metatarsalgia and I feel relegated to wearing shoes that cost $140 or more just to be able to walk. So I saw these, and took a chance. They feel like comfy slippers, they have good support, well constructed but I've only had them for a few days, cute, and I can walk without any pain for hours. I have found a new brand that I can wear! They seemed slightly wide, but it feels good - kinda like Danskos are wide. I plan to buy another pair with the strap on the heel.

For several years I've happily ordered the Bali sandal with straps like the current gray style in a variety of colors. I tried the Balis with the stringy straps but fabric Irritated skin. Zappos is great about such returns. I would like to order black Balis but with the old, reliable, non-stringy, solid straps. Navy would be welcome, too. There have been a few Balis in the past that had too-short straps making them almost impossible to put on. Wish size variations within a size could be controlled. 5 stars for solid strap sandals. 1 star for sandals that run too small 2 stars for stringy strap Balis because at least the colors are attractive

I have been wearing this Keen style sandal (in different colors) for over 12 years and find them exceptionally comfortable and wears very well ... not to mention the continuous compliments I receive regarding their style. I heartily recommend them.

This is my 6th pair of Keen Balis and I'm still smitten. I chose the pink (Purple Wine/Dark Purple) this time. They are my go-to summer shoe over a traditional flip flop because they give foot support, protect your toes, and have good traction. Sizing was true for me.

Loved the shoe, it's just to wide for my narrow feet. It was comfortable standing but to wide to keep on my foot while walking.
I'd also recommend:
More narrow with brands are needed!

I just bought my second pair of the Keen Bali's. I've had the first pair for years, and they are still in good shape. They fit great, and unlike flip-flops, have great toe protection. As a result, I wear them for activities such as gardening and camping, where I might not wear toeless sandals.
