Customer Reviews KEEN Bali

As other reviewers have indicated, these shoes are comfortable; but I felt like I was wearing house slippers when I wore them. Also, the foot bed is rubber, so the bottoms of your feet get sweaty. I won't buy another pair.

I thought this would be a great beach shoe, beach lover that I am. But the closed toe kept sand in the sandal, which was a drag when walking across hot sand. Otherwise, it’s a comfy shoe, easy to rinse off, and cute to boot!

Comfy slide - I work in downtown Chicago and my commute consists of walking and taking the train. When it's hot out, I want my feet to be cool and supported. That's why I bought Bali! I'm not to "keen" on the look but they are more supportive than regular flip flops. I did notice that the seam is starting to split on the side. I hope this shoe doesn't fall apart! I only have been wearing them a week and for the price they should hold up!

Great arch support for this type of sandal but I cut strips of moleskin to attach inside the straps because of rubbing. After first wearing, I thought that these were a mistake to keep, but they are better as they break in and the moleskin was helpful. I have very high arches and put in many daily steps on hard floors so I really test the comfort of shoes. Have gotten many compliments on the look of these but they are a loud "flip-flop" when walking.

Look great, but didn't work out - Love the look, but they just weren't wide enough for my foot. The strap across the top tended to dig in. I own several pairs of Keens, but they all either have the bungee cord style, or laces, so they are somewhat adjustable for width. Sadly, these are on their way back, but I just ordered the new Laguna H2 to try instead.

Not quite as expected - The ad for this shoe said it had a toe bar which I very much like on another Keen model I wear. That's what I expected inside the shoe, but there is none. The ad is deceiving and the shoe is not as secure on my foot because this feature is lacking.

Cute and comfortable - This sporty slide is pretty cute and comfortable. (I have it in black.) My feet do get kind of sweaty though and the straps rubbed a bit the first time. I'm always on the lookout for vegetarian shoes and this all-synthetic style fits the bill. Oh, and Zappos' shipping and service are insanely good!

Cute sandal - This is a cute sandal I bought after seeing it on a friend. Comfortable and sturdy.

High-end flip-flops with toe protection - They have more foot coverage and look nicer to me than typical flip-flops, but they aren't as supportive as I was expecting (based on a pair of other Keen shoes I have). These feel squishy in the footbed. They would be good as backyard or pool shoes or for quick errands, and they are lightweight and cute. About sizing: I found that each pair fits a little differently in the arch and in width, even though they are all the same size. With Zappos great customer service, I was able to get a great fit, though.

Keen makes all my favorites! This shoe is very comfortable like all Keen shoes, but because of the location of the webbing at the front of the shoe, it feels a little narrower then some of their others. If you have a wide foot, I suggest a half size larger.

Keen Bali - This is my second pair of Keens. Took me a while to get into the Keen "look." The Bali is a comfortable and funky looking slide. I only wish that it were more of an open sandal. I am a flip flop wearer, so this is different for me. However, I really like them as they are great when taking a longer walk and in the rain...very comfy and durable. I usually wear a size 9 and the fit is true to size. Zappos is absolutely the best! I have never seen customer service as good as this, ever! I love you guys.

These are comfy but lack the support of other Keens that I own. I'm keeping them for 'around the yard' flips.

Keen Keens - I am very pleased with my Keens, although I do wish the arch support were a little higher and firmer. The shoes are made with quality and durability, and overall are quite comfortable. My only complaint would be the enclosed toe. I would like to see some with open toes. Something a little more feminine with the same comfort and support.

Disappointed - I ordered these in green, and although I thought they were cute, I found them to be less comfortable than I had hoped. I didn't like that my little toes flew out the sides, and it took effort to keep them on. I was looking for a good walking sandal for a trip to China, and this wasn't it. I sent it back, ordered the Venice H2, and fell in love!

Big toe squeeze - This shoe is so cool looking and comfortable, but for me the toe guard is too low and crushes my big toe. So for that reason I had to send them back. I do not keep my toenails long nor do I have a large toe. I do have slender feet; perhaps this lends a hand in the toe squeezing thing??

A great walk in the water shoe! I chose this shoe based on comments of others. For me, the shoe was not the perfect choice. It is okay and I certainly have worn them, but I am still in the market for the perfect sandal for this summer. I think I need more support.

Wanted to love these - Keens are by far my favorite shoe. Have 5 pairs of the Keen Venice and Venice H2. Was really disappointed in the Bali. The look is great, but the shoe hit my foot all wrong. My pinkie toes did not meet the strap and wound up sticking out. Something to consider if you have a short, stubby pinkie toe.

Very Comfortable Shoe with Good Arch Support... I was very pleased with this shoe...I find I can wear this shoe all day and do a considerable amount of walking in it due to the good arch support the shoe provides...I would highly recommend this shoe for any summer activity whether it be on dry or wet surfaces...I found the shoe to be true to size and width...Overall it is a very comfortable shoe.

Wide width women - beware - Just received my Balis today - LIGHTNING fast shipping. Go Zappos. Cute shoe! Traditionally, I have to wear men's shoes due to my 10W (C) foot. I read the reviews of similar women and decided what the heck, give it a try since it's free shipping! Alas, the height of this sandal is the fixed point. The width of it was fine, but the height of the straps were too low. Another half size up would simply give me more length, but the length is fine. Siigh. I do love the Venice H2s, though - they really fit well, a half size up (10.5 M).

A slipper with tread - This is a very comfortable and easy to wear shoe...would recommend it to anyone...I am on my feet a lot and tend to have trouble with them at the end of the week but not in these shoes. They aren't blocky and heavy like some water type shoes but I don't think they would stay on in the water but doesn't hurt to get them wet.

These are such cheerful, fun sandals. They are more feminine and cute than other sports type sandals. I think they look nice with casual skirts and dresses. I haven't seen anything else like them in other brands so they seem unique. As others have said, they are quite comfortable. The toe protection is great. Now, on the negative side, one complaint is the foot- slapping sound they make when I walk, even more so than with thong type flip flops. Another complaint is the inconsistency of Keen sizing, not just between styles but between pairs of the same style! I bought a pair in black and ordered a size down based on reviews. The 5 fit perfectly. I bought a pair in the purple/mango, also in a 5, and they are a bit too short. I ended up keeping them anyway because I love the color and because the straps are pretty wide/loose and in a half size bigger my feet would probably flop right out of them. That being said, they are cute enough that I wish I could afford pairs in green and mango too!

I liked the older model better - I have two pair of the older model shoe. This newer style flips and flops more as I walk. The older style stays on my foot and I have worn them all over the world and gotten many compliments on them. This new style is okay, but doesn't really feel like it stays on my foot very well.

I love, love these shoes and this is my second pair, BUT Keen needs to use a better glue. Both of my pairs came unglued (the heel in one pair and a side strap in the other pair). This was after two years, and the shoes are no longer under warranty. I was hoping they would last much longer. Do I now buy a third pair the will eventually come unglued?

I ended up having to return them. Where the slits were my toes came out. Need to find something a little closer between slits in toe area.

The foot bed on these cute sandals were true to Keens and fit well and were comfortable. The reason I returned them is because of the way the top of the sandal fit. I felt like my foot was going to fall out of the straps on top, there wasn't enough coverage to contain my foot in the sandal and every step I took worried that I was going to leave one of the sandals behind!
