Customer Reviews KEEN Mystic

Nice, but... I loved the look of these sandals, but they did not work for me. I have narrow feet; when I walked my little toe kept slipping out of the shoe on the outside - very annoying. If there wasn't that cutout on the outer edge of the sandal, they would have been perfect. Otherwise they were comfortable.

Buckle design not great - I continue to love the wide toed comfort of Keen shoes, but this one is problematic for me. I have a narrow foot and the buckle does not snug up enough to fit securely. I corrected this by slipping in a 3/4 orthotic to take up the space, but other problems remained. The strap slips in the buckle closure, so the shoe loosens up with walking. The buckle is also rather small and its position on the side of the shoe makes it somewhat awkward to fasten and unfasten. It is NOT a hiking shoe, but I like it anyway for casual and undemanding walking.

I loved this shoe, except that there is a tiny buckle made out of plastic on the strap. It is so small it is difficult to put your fingers into the side grooves to open it, and it doesn't open easily nor is the buckle in an easy-to-get-to or easy-to-see spot on the outside of the foot.

These are the worst sandals I've ever had the displeasure of wearing, and it was my first introduction to Keen products before. I wore these for a trip to Mexico, was looking for something to wear in and out of water, like in Tulum at the ruins, and at our beach for snorkeling, and once in Akumal, in 100+ degree heat, and walking around their small town, my little toes were blistered and bloody, as were my ankles behind the strap on the back, and also my feet on the bottom were blistering from the sweat not being absorbed. I wear a size 9 and I have never been in so much pain. I had to stop and pay for a pair of regular old flip flops because I was in so much pain. I absolutely hate these sandals! I do not wear wide width and have never had a problem with other flip flops. Too much money paid for garbage.
