Customer Reviews KEEN Rosarita

Keen Rosarita - Fifth pair of Keens. Liked the Hurache-sytle offered. I usually wear a 7.5 in Keen shoes, but this style runs a little large so, I will order a 7 in a different color. Now, I want the Isabella shoe too! As always, comfort is why I support Keens. Excellent customer service on Zappos.

I haven't worn them enough yet - They feel great -- good footbed but I have very bad feet and haven't worn them enough yet to really tell. I like the huarache look though.

Close but not perfect - There is a thin groove across "palm" of foot that pinches foot when you walk. Ouch! Keen please make the shoe w/o this groove. I dislike the big black rubber front.

Love this shoe: I solved the problem of the stretching and slipping: my shoemaker suggested putting hell pads in the back, and soaking in water. It seems that the stretch is normal for this kind of leather. When they get too big, I put them in a hot tub and let dry naturally, (no newspaper) and they shrink back to the original size! The heel pad is the type that you put in a dress shoe to keep your hose from ripping. It all works, and I can't wait for the weather to warm up so I can wear them for the second summer. I have the green, and love the natural grass color... it seems in the summer to go with everything... I wore them everyday when I was on vacation on the west coast for 2 weeks, using the tub method. They dry in about 4 hours, and become as good as new! Also, I have wide flat feet and have a lot of trouble with shoes, but these are great.

Nice shoe - The strap across the back slips some on one foot but overall I am not having much difficulty with it. I do think you have to order at least a half size down with this shoe.

Love this shoe - Love the shoe, great fit for me. The only thing I would like to see different is that the back strap does not adjust and it's a little big.

I am keen on Keen - These are true to size and wide enough for my foot. They look good with skirts and pants and the Keen toe is a good protection. The back strap has stretched a little more than I would like, however I will add a bit of padding if necessary. Like other Keens, comfort and quality.

Very comfortable immediately out of the box. Wore it for a day around the mall with no problems.

So cute! I've been admiring everyone else's Keens for about a year now & finally had to get myself a pair! These are my first, and I have to say, they are SO cute! I just got them today, immediately put them on, and haven't taken them off since. I'm used to wearing Birkenstocks & Born’s, so any shoe that requires no break-in is my friend. I also do a considerable amount of walking--both in the city & the country--and these are perfect! Okay, like everyone else said, the strap is a little annoying--definitely not the best engineering here. I ordered my regular size, and the rest of the fit is fine, the strap is just flappy. It doesn't hinder my walking at all. I'm used to wearing slip-ons, so the strap isn't a necessity anyway. But, I can see all I need to do is go to the cobbler & have them sew in a little piece of elastic, and they'll be great. As for arch support, I have high arches & I'm used to wearing Birks, so these feel a little flat. But still really comfy. They're funky & comfortable, can go with shorts, capris, or skirts, and SO CUTE!

Keen Rosarita - Very very comfortable sandal! Love the way they mold to your foot but wish they didn't stretch out so much.

Try the Isabella Slide Instead - I've loved huaraches since I was a teenager in the 70's, so I was really excited when Keen came out with this version. They are really cute and comfortable, but that back strap...There weren't any reviews when I purchased mine and it didn't occur to me to return them for a smaller size (duh!). So I kept them but wear them sparingly because the back strap has been loose and floppy from the beginning. Buy the Keen Isabella slide version (open back) instead.

Another great Keen - Took everyone’s advice and dropped down from a 9 to an 8.5 by the second day it fell off my foot got an 8 then a 7.5 which is the perfect fit for my narrow foot. The heel strap doesn't stay on but I like the shoe so well I bought all 5 colors. I hope Keen can fix the heel strap and make the shoe in black. The green and purple are the attention grabbers, I have been stopped by a dozen people with "I have to have those shoes" and my response is Zappo's.com. I think Zappos is the best online shopping experience there is and should be the benchmark for any company wishing to improve customer service.

No 2" heel - I really like Keen shoes - have been wearing them for a couple years. Have bought them for both my kids - my son will not wear anything else other than his Keen shoes. I was a bit disappointed with the Rosarita though. Some things to watch out for: the heel is NOT 2" at all, maybe 1". It feels more like a negative heel technology (Like the Earth shoes) than other Keen shoes. It is REALLY casual, hard to pull off with a bit more put together but casual look.

My favorite wild shoes - This is my favorite pair of shoes, and my 8th pair of Keen's. Zappos is great! They got them to me right away... I left for vacation on Wednesday and never took them off. The back stretched out as soon as I got caught in the rain, but my shoemaker suggested a back cushion and they are back to being the shoes I don't take off my feet. They fit perfectly when ordering my usual shoe size (not my Keen size). I have wide feet and they are perfect for me, no toe squishing like the Newports seem to do.

Order a size smaller - These are my first Keens - I like them, but don't love them. I usually have a problem with shoes in my size being too small - these are too long; the back strap falls down immediately and stays there. I like them enough to keep them, and to try another pair of Keens.

Good shoe for problem feet - Very comfortable. Wide toe box, good cushiony sole. I wear a 10 1/2 and got a 9 1/2 which fits fine. Only problem is the heel strap slips down from day 1 and could worry you. For me, I’ll deal with it as the shoe solves a lot of other problems for me. Clunky huarache style is decent looking.

Cape Codder - Cool looking and like bed slippers rather than athletic shoes as the back strap is useless, in fact in the way, support. Bought a full size smaller, as other reviewers recommended which was right on...

LOVE this sandal - I am really enjoying this sandal this summer. I read the reviews and did order one size smaller than I normally wear. They are still somewhat loose, but length is good. I have learned that KEENS are made wider than other shoes, which is great for me, as I have bunions and trouble finding comfort with most shoes I like. This is my 4th pair of shoes from KEEN (3 different styles) and love them! Wish they could come up with a dressier style as my job requires suites. I'm a KEEN shopper!

Hot shoes - I ordered the Rosarita because I wanted a sandal that was a little bit dressier than my usual Antigua’s (I love my Antigua’s). I ordered them a 1/2 size smaller, because of some of the comments from other customers. The fit is good, the arch support is great and they are very comfortable. The only thing I’m not crazy about is that they make my feet sweat.

Keen on Keen - Let's start by stating and making very clear that I have a difficult to fit foot. If we're calling B width "medium", C width 'wide' and D width "extra wide", mine easily falls in the extra wide category. My length is an exact size six and my instep is very high - in other words - I have a very, very thick foot. Of the shoes available in *any* mainstream department store, ONLY Dansko’s fit me, and then only some of them. With regards to these shoes, the Keen Rosarita's, compared to my Keen Bali's, these have a slightly, slightly lower instep and are ever so slightly tight across the top. However, the shoe moves so well with my foot that it isn't a problem. It accommodates my width just fine because the widest part is essentially a cut out...the woven part covers only the very front, then only the top, then directly under my ankle - so there's a lot of room for a person who needs it in the width...and if you don't, it's probably fine too. I love them and get tons of compliments on them.

Mc Floppy - This shoe is REALLY comfortable, no blisters or aches after a long walk, but the leather stretches out to the point where the back-strap no longer keeps it on your foot...definitely order a half size smaller than usual. They're odd looking, but worth it.

Great summer shoe - Very soft and comfortable; the heel strap gets loose after wearing just a few times, and doesn't really stay wrapped around the heel as tightly as I would like. I wouldn't want to walk for hours in this one. The slide might be a better choice. Overall, a great shoe for casual wear.

Very comfy - Great summer shoe. I wear a solid 8.5 and I ended up with a 7.5 in this shoe. The leather is soft and will give. As long as the length is ok, which it was for my foot a full size down is probably the way to go. The 8 felt as if it was going to give too much and be sloppy. The 7.5 is not tight at all.

The leather does loosen - A great looking and feeling shoe- true to Keen's styling, the foot bed is extremely comfortable. One issue, the leather loosens up quickly. For me, the back strap (which is not adjustable) got a little too loose and now has a bit too much slack. I ordered a 1/2 size smaller than normal and I am glad I did.
