Customer Reviews KEEN Bali

Wanted a more sandal-like slip on for warmer months instead of clogs. I need big toe protection due to surgery. Cut is interesting, although some side toes show more than I would like. Has moderate support and feels pretty comfortable so far. Lightweight, even in 10.5. Wish footbed was black, as it makes it slightly dressier and more diverse. I like to travel with as few shoes as possible, so each one needs to be multi purpose. I LOVE Keens because they make 105..and make great shoes. Seems as if they have fewer slides than before. Love slides, especially when going to gym or just running out the door.

The Keen Bali is step up from flip-flop. The semi-closed toe box is attractive and offers some protection. I think the Bali runs a little small (but not half a size) and narrow, something to keep in mind when ordering. The sandals are comfortable for shorter town and beach walks. I did find the straps rubbed the side of my foot when they got wet so I would wear the Bali for situations where I do not expect my feet to get wet.

I am a huge fan of Keen sandals and own several pairs. I do like these, but am disappointed that the sizing is not consistent among their styles -- their size 9 is usually a perfect fit, but in this style is a bit big. A half size smaller would probably help make these look a little dressier and less sloppy, but I'll keep them -- they certainly are comfortable. I can't wear regular flip flops (ouch!), so these are a great alternative.

I love them. I have then on and they look great. The only thing is they are a little narrow for me. I have them on in the house hoping I can get them to feel better.

I ordered these in my usual Keen size: 8.5. They seemed long and sloppy, but I hadn't worn slides for many years, so wasn't sure if it was just me. I chatted online with a Zappos rep, and they sent me an 8 to compare. The 8s are a much better length and not so sloppy. My toes have plenty of room, and the sandal is still wide enough (I have wide feet in front, narrow heels). The foot bed on the right (my right foot is larger) seems just a tad off (the arch support hits a little forward), but is comfortable enough. The left foot is perfect. I m keeping the 8s, sending the others back. The style is adorable. They are amazingly feminine and make my feet look small. I have the grey, which are a very nice neutral color. My feet do seem to sweat on the bottom, but since they are so open, it doesn't seem to matter. I love them for wearing around the house for some good support on hard floors, slipping on to run out to the garden, and wearing to work or around town, too. I doubt I ll be taking them off before winter. LOL. (At which time I put on my Targhee boots and wear them all winter!). Gotta love both Keens and Zappos. :-)

I love these for summer. My feet are always painfully hot and these really help. They also have pretty good cushioning in the heel which I really need. The HUGE problem is that one of the rubber toe protectors was sunk in and it crushes my big toe. Of course I didn't notice until I'd worn them outside and couldn't return them. I agree with lots of people about the serious lack of arch support like older keens. And also I agree that the general quality control had gone down the toilet. You can really see how collapsed the toe box is on mine.

I took these to Italy for a 2 week trip. We walked a lot everyday. My feet never hurt; they did great on the cobblestone and uneven streets, as well as the marble floors. I love these shoes. The one complaint I have is, I did not want to wear socks or footie s with these, after 8 days of constant wearing (I have the grey and the black) it became warmer out and my feet would perspire, that caused the shoe to rub right where the fabric (which is not soft) to hit my Bunions and caused a deep blister, almost like a cut in my foot. I then had to switch to a different shoe which saved me. I would recommend wearing a footie if you are going to do that much walking. I still love these shoes and I am wearing them again now that I am back home. I will also say, I have back problems and when I wore these, my back never hurt!

This is a really cute, comfortable shoe! I got it in black and white. It's a very casual shoe, nylon webbing and rubber. I don't think I realized that when I ordered it, but the price isn't expensive for Keen, so I should have known. Nevertheless, they are very cute and comfy and I really like them. (And, they're good camo for a pedi that need refreshing, since the toe is semi closed.)

I have found these shoes to be quite comfortable. I don't know if I would buy them again because the arch support is quite what I had hoped for and on one side, my little toe tends to pop out. But that could just be my feet.

This shoe is exactly what I thought I wanted. But the shoe must run large. There was a lot of shoe left in the back and around the heel when I tried it on.

I thought these would be great because of all the positive reviews but they slap my foot and even in cool weather I can tell they would make the feet sweat because of the rubber foot bed. And the texture irritates the bottom of my feet. The sling backs are much better.

I'm a size 11 with a slightly wide forefoot, high instep, and very high arch. I bought these hoping they would have the same footbed as my Keen Kaci shoes, which I love. Unfortunately, the arch support isn't as good in these sandals, and the toe cap seems a little too low (close to the top of the big toe) for comfort. Someone with a more "normal" foot will probably find these to be great sandals, but they weren't right for me.

I am a Keen fan (no pun intended). My whole family wears them. I was delighted with the Keen Whisper mules and so sad they've been discontinued. The Bali is a great substitute though - it's better looking, comes in cuter colors and still a perfect shoe for slipping on and running out the door to walk the dog or take the kids to school, etc. I have high arches and it is hard to find comfortable supportive shoes that aren't terribly unattractive. The straps are OK for me but I could see difficulty with some peoples' toes. My baby toes fall right at the edge of the strap and I could see them getting hooked over it once in a while if I was rushing but so far so good. I wish the grey rubber toe came in a color to match the shoe but you have to take a little ugly with any Keen - part of the charm.

I love these shoes, but I have an arthritic problem similar to a bunion and the material and design do not accommodate the bump on my right foot. I waited to return the shoes until all my daughters and granddaughters tried them, and they all loved them but the girls do not have size 9 feet.

Since I have severe arthritis, I needed a casual shoe that did not cover the top of my foot near the ankle. I really do feel that the shoe is extremely comfortable and the support is perfect. It is not very hard and that is important as I have no arch, but need the support. I did fee that the straps were a little tight and maybe that is due to my sensitivity. I definitely would recommend this shoe.

I was very pleased with Zappo's policy on returns and the people that I dealt with regarding my returning this shoe for a larger size and receiving the $ for the 2nd pair of shoes that I returned.

I bought the Harvest color (white/multi), and they are so cute. They have the typical width of a Keen, which is usually good for me, but due to other foot problems they didn't quite work. I think Keen fans with typical feet will love these. I was sad to send them back.

I have 3 pair of the 'Keen Bali' shoes. They are great for the beach, and really protect my toes. The first pair that I purchased are now 5 years old, and are still somewhat wearable. They fit beautifully. The other 2 pair feel a bit wonky in the right foot. Keen might want to review the pattern for the right foot.

I have enjoyed wearing these shoes. They are true to size and so easy to slip in and out of for a mom on-the-go. I'm not a huge fan of the flip-flop flap, so I wouldn't say they're my favorite pair of shoes, but they are quicker to get in and out of than the Venice H2 that I have and sometimes speed is of the essence!

I have RA and my feet have gone bonkers. Gnarly toes & wide-HUGE feet. These shoes are great! I love the protection over the toes. They're comfortable EXCEPT for the inside top strap that sorta' sits in the wrong spot for my feet. The straps are stiff so some folks may not like that. I give them a thumbs up!

These shoes are VERY comforatable but they must not have an odor block shield because after wearing for two days they stink really badly! That leaves me disappointed with these shoes:( I do not have this issue with any other of my shoes.

I really loved these shoes. I wish I had not worn them outside the first day I got them because I really do believe they should have been sent back and another size larger would really work. But what I have found is that with time they stretch but always keep shape.

This is a nice alternative to a flip flop, with a bit of support and toe protection. The grape is a very pretty color. It runs longer and wider than other Keen styles of the same size.

I bought a pair of these sandals on sale last year and wore them constantly. I tend to bump my toes a lot and the toe guard on Keens keeps my toes safe. Very comfortable, true to size, they don't stink even when your feet sweat. The top part of the shoe was a tiny bit tight when I first put them on, but it loosened up quickly. In short, perfect warm weather shoes for active women.

I love Keens, because they are comfortable and you can put them in the washing machine. The Bali is no exception. They feel sturdy and give reasonable support for a sandal. The only complaint I have is that my feet can get sweaty in them on hot days. I'm not sure if that's a problem specific to the Bali or sandals in general.
