Customer Reviews KEEN Bali

I work retail and am on my feet all day. I was looking for something that I could wear at home that was easy slip-on slip-off, had moderate arch support and offered relief for very tired sore feet. Over the past few years I've struggled with plantar fasciitis and ankle pain. I pretty much eliminated the plantar fasciitis by switching to Danskos (size 39 from the Sausalito group) exclusively while at work and Orthaheel flip flops at home. I still struggle with unidentified discomfort in one foot and am always searching for shoes I can wear that are comfortable and supportive. My Orthaheel feel too high in the arch now that my feet are feeling a bit better. I've been wearing these Bali for about a week now and I'm pretty happy with them. My Keen Venice H2 size 8.5 are one of the most comfortable shoes I own, so I was looking for a similar footbed. At first I tried the Waimea H2, but I found it ran a half size smaller. I tried the 9.0, but the toe strap is rather thick as some reviewers have said. I returned both and tried both sizes in the Bali. The Bali seems to fit true to size and is much more comfortable. I gave them a four for overall score, because on my foot they are not real snug and wouldn't be the best for more active walking. For that I'd stick to my Venice H2. The style's cute enough although I got black because the multicolored woven was not available. Maybe next year I'll get a fun color. Overall, if you need aggressive higher arch support try Orthaheel which also has a more rigid sole. If you have an average arch, these might be the soothing slip-on your feet need.

I liked the support, look and great feel of these sandals. BUT .....even though I have several pairs of Keens and ordered my usual size, this pair was a full size too large!

Not for wide feet and/or a high instep! This "Bali" style slide is, however, slightly wider than the "Whisper Slide" style. I am baffled by why Keen refuses to make a wide width in any of their shoes. So much lost business for Keen. Disappointing.

I really like these sandals because you don't have to have anything between your toes!

Just received these and sadly not as good a fit as my Keen portico flips. These have an extra strap which hits my little toe too tight. My foot is just a little too wide for this style. I will stick with my Portico flip. Otherwise would have kept them. Lightweight.

This shoe is very cute, however, I have a wide foot and I was hoping that this would fit, but I cannot get it all the way onto my foot.

I love these sandals. I wear them all the time. I was having some heel pain. I first started by just wearing them around the house to see if I would like them when I realized I did not have the heel pain while wearing them. They are a tiny bit narrow although I have a pretty wide foot.

Pretty, comfortable...my new "dress" Keen sandals. Seemed to be a tad smaller than my other size 8 Keen flip-flops.

This was the first slip on style Keen I have ever purchased and have enjoyed them, but I'm partial to Keens anyway! Ordered a size 10 and it fits but next time I'll order a 10+1/2 as I think it will fit great (as opposed to fine). Great option if you want something other than flip-flops and I love the more closed toe feature. It has saved me from a stubbed toe already and I have only had them for a month!

Although I take a wide width,some mediums fit well. This shoe does not. At the top, where design comes together, is tight. It is very constricting. Wish I had worn them more when they were new. I would have sent them back.

I wanted to like these but they just look weird on my feet. All my toes are covered except for one that is completed uncovered...it looks strange.

These are very comfortable and I like being able to slide them on and off easily.

I wear a size 9-medium, and these fit perfectly in length and width. They are comfortable (more than a flat flip-flop), but not as good arch support as the Keens that have a bit higher heel. I thought the toe protection looked a bit weird at first, but now I love that--can't catch that toe part on a stair or whatever, so I've ditched my open-toed slippers and wear these in the house. Definitely would buy again. Nice that they go in the water and are so easy to keep clean.

Nice looking shoe. For me though, it runs a little narrow. I also think that the length is a little longer than I expected and my little toe wants to come out of the side of the shoe. I think that with continued wear, my feet will adjust.

This shoe serves well for sporty and dressy casual. I keep trying other shoe styles but keep coming back to Keens. I have several pairs for many occasions.

The Bali has proved to be what I had hoped for and was expecting. Comfort - excellent; durability - excellent; practicality - very good; looks - good enough.

I love the concept of these shoes, but the straps are definitely made for a more narrow foot. I typically wear 9 in Keens. The size 9 foot bed fit, but the straps were too tight. I tried the 9.5. The straps fit better but then the foot bed was too long and arch support was not in the correct place. Disappointed.

The 'white' strap version is tighter across the foot than the 'black' strap versions I bought in the past. Love the other version, these are OK.

The shoes are quite comfortable. Only downside is they definitely behave like a flip-flop. So if you can get past the noise, they are a good summer shoe.

Only one weird issue with this shoe. My left shoe fits perfectly, but the right one is a little tight! I\'m hoping that it will stretch with time. Otherwise, very comfy and cute!

I get so many compliments on these shoes, I've even had an entire class listening when I told where I got them. My feet have too high arches for normal flip flops and I've been looking for a good sandal alternative that doesn't involve leather and is comfy for vacations and day trips walking around. These sandals are great for that. They have a nice amount of support, have good contours and look cute. A lot of people comment on the toe guard and I think it's the greatest idea to keep from stubbing toes. I'm usually an 8 in most shoes but I returned for one size up because the straps cut in too much. I would recommend buying a half size up from your usual size. Very cute!

The Bali Keens are the most comfortable, durable, and convenient sandals I've ever worn. There has been some confusion in establishing standard sizing, which seems to have been settled. I like their simplicity in style, with no straps or toe bar. I just wish they came in more colors, and better ones than they have so far!

I bought these shoes for an upcoming cruise, so I haven't worn them all day yet. However, after trying them on, they are lightweight and comfortable. We will see how well they do after wearing them all day. I am sure they will be fine. My only issue is that they are a little tight across the top of my foot, but I have wide flat feet, so that happens to me frequently. It wasn't uncomfortably tight though, just snug. I hope they stretch a bit from wear.

I had a similar pair of Keen's (same shoe, different color) and loved them. They lasted for five years and I only had to get rid of them because they were starting to smell and the plastic was looking brittle (they still live as my gardening shoe!) Hopefully, I'll have similar luck with this pair. So far, I've been pleased. They are very comfortable and versatile, which is why I like them. I also love the color and pattern--I get a lot of compliments about them. The only potential issue is that they are light, so dirt shows up on the foot pad, which could be an issue for some people. I threw mine in the washer and they were good to go. If you don't like your sandals getting dirty, I'd opt for a darker color so the dirt doesn't show as much. Of course, Zappos service is amazing. I love their customer service and quick delivery. After Zappos, I can even consider shopping at another store or site. I'm a fan. :)

Where can I find a comfy shoe for a large foot? Ok, I have big feet. I bought an 11 and I would have bought a 11 1/2 if such a thing existed. How does it feel to have very few choices and feel like I ended up with a shoe I have to stretch to be comfy in? Not great. I think a lot of people need choices that don't stop at a size 10.
