Customer Reviews KEEN Aruba

I was very pleased with the whole process of my order. I received my shoes in adequate time and they are perfect. This is my husband\'s second pair of the same exact sandals. He purchased the first ones while in the Carribean a couple of years ago. I was pleasantly surprised to find them on the internet, because my husband has never had a more comfortable pair of sandals that cover his toes. I hope they never discontinue the sandal. Thank you! Janet

2nd pair. Fit is just right. Adequate support. Look good; however, on first pair of black color faded. Just right for warm weather if you don't want your toes to show.

Zappos' customer service is the best. Zappos has the best and most helpful customer service repsresentatives I have ever dealt with. Their helpful attitude and friendly service will keep me as a Zappos customer!

First of all - I have big feet: Size 14 or 15 depending on the style, brand, etc... and Zappos is a great resource for all of us folks with big boat feet as I have consistently found larger sizes for several brands and styles here when I can’t find them elsewhere. So far, this option has been especially helpful with outdoor shoes in particular as my experience with other outdoor supply shops is that they don’t carry larger sizes very often. Generally, it is most efficient for me to walk into a store when shopping for hiking boots, sandals, etc... and pick out about a dozen different shoes and then tell the sales person, "OK, just bring me everything you have out of these dozen possibilities in size 14 and 15." If I wind up trying on more than 2 pairs of shoes after this instruction – I’m a VERY lucky dude! I think you get the picture: shopping for shoes when you have big feet is no fun in most cases! So after doing my research on the Keen Aruba style sandal and deciding that this was what I wanted, I braced myself for the inevitable time-consuming horror show of actually finding the size and color I needed. To my great surprise, Zappos had the Aruba in black/grey and size 15! Wow! Only one other online store had what I was looking for and their shipping and return policy was just no comparison to Zappos. Throw in a VERY speedy shipping time (I received my sandals in about 2-3 days) and Zappos is a no-brainer. Oh - and I almost forgot to mention that Zappos usually has what you are looking for at prices that are quite competitive to boot! I think Zappos will be one of the first places I always look now for shoes after this experience - kudos and thanks so much Zappos! As far as the Keen Arubas go specifically - although this is my first ever pair of Keens, I have to say that I’m quite impressed with the fit, the comfort, and the quality of these sandals. They are true to size, and unless you have an exceedingly WIDE foot - I think the standard width will suit you. To make absolutely sure though, try on a pair of Keens (any pair just for sizing) wherever you can find them, and THEN order them online at Zappos later. I wound up with a size 15 which I could just have easily been fine with a more snug 14, but decided to stick with the slightly larger 15 to accommodate possible swelling when changing into them after a long day of wearing hiking boots. So far, I have not experienced any bad odors from them as some others have stated in their reviews - but if/when I do - they can go right in the wash! I love that! The Arubas are GREAT sandals and the toe-guard on the end also gives me unique confidence in wearing them out in the world when driving, running errands, walking the dog, etc… the way other sandals never have before. Keen has made a great product here. Both comfortable and durable. I wear them all the time, and I think I will now give a Keen a shot with some light hiking boots as I’m so impressed with the Arubas! Thanks to Keen for the great product and thanks again to Zappos for the great online shopping experience! Both are diamonds in the rough in this day and age when customer service in the retail arena seems to be severely lacking in most places you go whether in person or online...

These are great shoes! I find Keen's men's sizes fit my feet better than Keen's women's shoes, and this pair is no exception. I actually bought this pair as a back-up for when my current pair dies, which will be a sad day. What I like? The wide foot bed gives my toes plenty of wiggle room, but the shoes aren't floppy/sloppy; open construction allows plenty of cooling air flow; shoes are cozy with or without socks; the arch is in the right place; heel provides good shock absorption; the footbeds are comfy soft but with plenty of support (for my high arches I could use a little more arch support; even as-is, though, I can wear these for a long time). These are my favorite after-a-run cool-down/re-charge shoes.

These are GREAT! Need to order a 1/2 size larger if you have a lot of arch.

Amazingly cool and comfortable and look great with jeans. I wear these on a daily basis in an office setting were casual dress is allowed but no open toe permitted. Yet, at my desk they slip off easily and back on easily if I have to get up to refill my coffee cup.
