Customer Reviews KEEN Waimea H2

Very comfortable, great for daily use - I bought the previous avatar of these (Antigua H2) for my father who is blind and tends to hit his toes on furniture/legs while indoors. He also had a slip-and-fall following weakness related to hospitalization. I bought these for two reasons: the skid-proof sole and the toe-guard. He has been very happy with these, and loves them. The toe-hold (that goes between the big toe and 2nd toe) cracked after more than a year of DAILY wear. So I bought the 2nd pair, (now known as?) Waimea H2. They are very comfortable, skid-proof, and great for daily wear.

I really loved these and wore them daily throughout the summer. They saved my big toe from many mishap. However, the shoes recently wore out, the sole became somewhat thin (started feeling rocks through the sole) and the thong recently pulled out from its base rendering the shoe unwearable. I tried to repair it myself to no avail. I'll probably buy another pair for next summer but don't expect to get more than a season out of them.

These shoes have received lots of notice as I've worn them over the past year. My main gripe is that the sizing is at least 2 sizes too large leaving these flip flops very floppy. The build quality OTOH is great, a stark contrast from the quality control on the sizing.

This flip-flop looks great, and I love the covered toe. Sadly, the raised stitching on the underside of the strap blisters my skin. Just started my second season of trying to break these in, and have 2 blisters after 45 min. of wear. I am past the 1-year Zappos return, so these will have to go to Goodwill.

Awesome flip flop

Best slipper I have ever owned! This shoe provides outstanding support and protection for walking on the beach and rocky areas.

I wear Keen Sandals most of the time. I wanted a pair of flip flops with good support. I wish the thing between your toe had a bit of give, or was softer. Other than that I don't have any complaints. I would recommend them.

I bought these as a gift to my husband who loves them! Extremely durable, waterproof, stinkproof and well, they're Keens. Perfect!

Zappos is great...I would rather buy from them than go to the mall...they make it so easy and are always friendly! They have earned my business! I had to return a pair of shoes for a different size...it was so easy with no problems what so ever, my new size was at my house the next day and I had 14 days to return the other pair, no questions asked! Thank you Zappos!

This is the third pair of Keen sandals I buy for my husband. He loves them. They fit true to size and width, even for narrow feet like his. The toe protection cover has saved him numerous times. The sole and upper strap are built to last forever, not the inner tube separating your toes, which will eventually break (it happened with the previous two pairs of these model I got). The last color he had, which I bought two years ago and he wore them daily (navy blue with yellow upper and camo sole on the same colors) was more appealing than the solid black I recently got. Zappos needs to add more selection of colors on this sandal. I highly recommend this sandal, and of course, nobody can beat Zappos customer service.

Zappos is the best - great prices & selection. On top of that, the shipping was free and fast!

I have seen these on very few people but they looked very comfortable. My biggest problem is they smell like a tire shop. The soles are made of recycled tires. They are very comfortable shoes, and were from the first time I put them on. I have several pairs of KEEN shoes and love them all.

I love Keen toe covered flip flops! Only problem with this shoe, which I really wanted for garden work, was the shoe being displayed in the women's group and being a men's sizing. They are a little big, the men's size 7 would have worked fine for the women's size 9.

This is the second pair but different color. Husband loves them. He says they are very comfortable.

I love these! This is my second pair. I bought the first at a regional chain, about two years ago and assumed they were a one-year-only. A piece came off the bottom but I save it to glue because I thought I'd never get another pair. Then I saw a student in our school with a mini-pair this spring, and I went looking on Zappos! Friends look at them strangely but often remark they'd like to have toe(s) protected too. These are rugged flip-flops that show no wear. I put them in the washing machine, too.

Really like these thong-style sandals. Last season I bought similar styled pairs - one by Ecco and another by Keen and they really rubbed and created hot spots, but these are extremely comfortable. They take about a day to break in, but then are just awesome. My only complaint is that out of the bag, the recycled rubber has a petroleum smell that wouldn't go away until I gave them a good washing with some soap and water. Definitely would get another pair if these wore out.

I love these. In some ways they are glorified flip flops, but they are really much more. The footbed, like all Keens, takes a few wearings to settle into your foot shape, but after that is very comfortable. I like the thick, non-slip, well-padded soles. The toe protector takes a few days to get used to, but just give it a few days. Once your toes get used to the feel of that extra piece being there, it's great. Not only does it protect your toes, but I've found that it even helps keep the shoes on your feet. I always have trouble with that from traditional flip flops. And, the rubber stem that goes between your toes is pretty thick and sturdy. That caused some minor soreness until my toes adjusted, but after a few wearings this completely went away. I even like the stripes. So, although you could wear these anywhere you'd wear flip flops, I'm using them as the perfect around-the-house shoes for warm weather.

These sandals are a wonderful addition to my collection of Keen sandals and shoes. They are extremely comfortable and far more stable than any other similar thong sandal that I've owned. The sizing is true to fit.
