Generally I really like Keen, although as the company has grown, quality control isn't what it used to be. These sandals fit true to size, and were pretty cute, but if you want good arch support, these are just okay. Also, if you have toes that don't line up perfectly, a bunion perhaps, they make your feet look down right UGLY.

I like things about this sandal but the fact that overtime the strap digs into the side of my foot creating a red mark makes me not recommend them. I like the design better than flip flops, just don't fit me right. I have a broad but not Very wide foot.

I really wanted these sandals to work. Loved the style. But, the top and sides straps caused blisters.

I really anticipated receiving this sandal after reading all the positive reviews; however, there in no way to adjust the width and it was so loose, it was unsafe to walk.

This shoe is very cute and it makes my size 10 feet look very small. Unfortunately it is just a little too tight, and my little toe wants to jump out of the strap. The support was amazing though. I almost kept them and tried to break them in more.

I had these sandals sent to my mother (we live in different states), so I haven't seen these shoes in person. She said that they were very cute but too wide for her narrow foot, so we had to return them.

This type of shoe is not what I would typically order. I have flat feet and usually can't keep backless shoes on, but I am very pregnant and can really only do slip-ons by myself. I wear these for my fitness walk in the park with my dogs. They work fine for me, but are not the most comfortable walking shoe. They are lightweight and breathe and are very cute looking though.

Runs short, no arch support. Great look/style, but does not stay on my foot. Not good for someone with flat feet/pronation.

I really want to like Keens, but they don't seem to fit me well. They seem to run a little small; my big toe hits the top of the toe box even though I ordered a larger size than I typically wear. The sandals also flop a lot, so I don't think I'll get to wear them for travel as I'd hoped; I'm afraid my legs will hurt if I walk in them for long distances.

I have owned 2 pairs of Balis and these don't seem to fit the same! I was so disappointed. I will try a half size larger and see how they fit. Otherwise, they feel tight (width) and shorter so my heel hangs near the edge. This also affects the arch support. Very disappointed if they changed this sandal!

Do not fit like previous Balis. Straps were very tight especially on left shoe that could hardly get foot in unlike previous Bali.

I have an older\/similar version of the Keen Bali and love them. I have been wearing them for years and finally the soles started to wear. I wanted to replace them with a different color and purchased these in hopes of having the same great fit and longevity. Unfortunately, after wearing them and hoping to love them, I don\'t. These sandals are too short. I\'ve held them up to my other Keens, and they are not the same length. I am disappointed as I wore them outside right away and can not return them.

Not as comfortable as I had hoped -
I will keep these, but they feel a little confining to the toes. I use them for gardening and watering because they can get wet and I can slip them on.

Comfy!
This slip on is great around the pool and watering as it doesn't slip.
(Like football/soccer slip-ons)
They are bulky though. Not attractive!
Colors are a bit bright and now I wish I had gotten the black ones. But all in all very comfortable to wear around garden.

Very comfortable, a little hot -
I'm a firm believer in buying flip-flops that are comfortable and provide arch support at a reasonable cost. But they're few and far between. And given that I attend a great number of concerts during the summer and need substantial flip-flops, I usually wind up biting the bullet and shell out a bunch of cash for some Mephisto's (which don't take water well). However, after a trustworthy friend recommended the Keen's, I thought I'd give them a shot. I actually purchased the Bali and the Trinidad at the same time and found the Trinidad ran at least a half a size too big (and maybe were a little narrow as well) so I returned them and kept the Bali's. I just wore them to my first 3-day music event and found them to be exceptionally comfortable, and they gave great arch support. I was able to walk and dance for days. The only issue I have with these shoes is that the soles tended to get a bit hot due to the fact that they're some kind of rubber sole but they're still worth it and were great in just about every other aspect. Plus, they're stylish, go with skirts and really do provide a ton of support. I have a fairly wide foot-somewhere between a medium width and wide width and these fit very well. The toe cup is easy to get used to and I liked the fact that there isn't the typical flip-flop strap between the toes. And best of all, they totally stay put while dancing!

I believe only people with tiny feet and short toes can fit into keens. They are Just a weird in my opinion. They have a very short foot bed and the are impossible to keep on my foot. Also, the straps rub all over. I have long toes, so Keen is not for me. I am a 9 regular. These are cute, but my foot doesn't like them.

Weird fit. The straps don’t come that far down on the foot; I felt like I had to shove my toes into the rubber bumper to keep them on my feet. They look oh-so-cute in the pictures, and the footbed is classic Keen goodness, but they don’t want to stay on my feet when I walk, making them a shoe fail.

Stiff and hard to break in. Not great for walking. I’d return them if I hadn’t worn them outside already.

I have been wearing this style for many (about a decade plus or minus) years and was very disappointed in the last two pairs I ordered. They are much larger than they were in the past and more cheaply made. The cross straps are now farther apart and made a few of my toes creep out, changing the overall support. and fit.

These don't fit my feet at all. I guess I have short toes but, these are not for me.

I so wanted these sandals, but they were about 1" wider than my feet--I am a very normal size 9 M--and they were an inch too big in the length. It was like wearing duck feet that were sized for someone way bigger than you. I wish Keen would make sandals that arent so insanely wide and not at all true to size. I should add that I ordered a size 9, not following the recommendations that I size UP. Disappointing!

Cute shoe, but they flopped around on my feet. I'm a size 9. I ordered a 9. I could tell after a few wears they were going to be too big.
