Customer Reviews KEEN Roatan

Cute but not too comfortable - I thought this would be a great shoe for summer, but I wore it this weekend and it wasn't all that comfortable. There is no arch support and my foot got sweaty. I am an amputee and it went on my prosthetic really well (I have a hard time finding a shoe that will fit). If you have a flat foot this would work well but I need more arch support and a tighter fitting shoe.

Use as a water shoe - I bought the shoe for water aerobics. Had difficulty keeping the shoe on while running or fast kicking in water. Have not tried shoe out at beaches

Unstable with vigorous movement in water - I got these as water shoes for a scuba/snorkeling trip to some Asian islands. Generally useless all around. Were okay as beach shoes, though sand inside was frustrating. Useless in the shallow surf as suction would pull the heel off. Useless for light snorkeling as kicking movements would drag them off. (A smaller size would have been way too uncomfortable.) Eventually, their only use was being worn under dive fins for pretty snug and comfortable fins.

Light use only... I got these shoes hoping to use them for beach fishing and kayaking. They are cute to look at compared to other "water shoes". They are not very breathable however. My feet got very hot standing on the beach with the sun beating down and they did not dry as quickly as I had hoped. These factors also made me not like to use them while kayaking. They are comfortable, but too hot! Also, I've had them for only a few months and the elastic band has already lost its "stretch" from the heat and use and the shoes don't fit anymore because of this.

Not for Water Sports! I fell in love with the look of this shoe when I saw it on Zappos. When compared to other water shoes, these are adorable and versatile and you'd feel comfortable wearing them out on the town. Reviews online mention they might feel tight. Mine certainly did, but they were still doable: as a steadfast size 8, I just didn't want to go up to a 9. Had an 8.5 size existed, it would have been better. BUT reviews fail to mention that they get really loose when you wear them in the water; in fact, I couldn't even kick my feet in the water without fearing that they'd fall off. (My sad ending involves my right shoe finding a new home in the Ocoee River) SO--buy them if you want something cute to wear around or to the beach/pool. But if you're planning on swimming--or doing water sports---a lot in them, they're not going to be very useful.

So did not fit - I don't know what I was thinking after reading all the other reviews with fit issues. Yes, this shoe has problems. Granted, I have a fairly narrow foot (though I don't wear narrow width shoes), but this was far too wide. My heel was slipping out of it just walking around my apartment; this wouldn't have lasted 2 minutes in the ocean. As someone else mentioned, it’s also strangely too short as well. I know I couldn't take a larger size because of the width, so this, unfortunately was a bust. Too bad, at least this shoe actually looks cuter than most of its contemporaries (which is why I bought in the first place).
