Customer Reviews KEEN Whisper

Although I have bought all my shoes recently at Zappos.com, I stopped in a local shoe store recently to try on shoes. I really love the look of the Keen Whisper but the toe box is not as wide or comfortable as my Keen Venice H2 so I am unable to wear them. These shoes definitely run narrow compared to some other Keen styles.

I love Keen shoes, and Whisper does not disappoint. I bought these for an up-coming trip to the beach where we’ll be doing some kayaking. I haven’t worn them a lot yet, but just wearing them around a bit with jeans, they are just as comfortable as my other Keens. I have a slightly narrow foot, and these seem to fit even better than the others, plus they’re easily adjusted with the little bungee strap.

I love the Keen Whisper. They are light weight and less boxy than the Keen model I have been wearing. Please note that my usual Keen size 7.5 was too small in the Whisper. I had to order an 8. I get lots of compliments on them, even from strangers. You will love them, too.

I'm delighted with these sandals! I have long, narrow feet that are difficult to fit, size 11 AA. Most size 11's bump my toes a little, but any increase in length and they are way too wide. The length is perfect for me, and though the medium is a little wide, the bungee cords and the padded straps make it easy to customize the shoes to my feet. They're amazingly lightweight, and most importantly, they're comfortable. Shortly after getting them, I wore them for a 3 mile hike without a hint of a blister. I stubbed my toes a couple of times, and the toe bumper is a genius idea -- great protection. The only thing I'd change would be to improve the arch support. I have an old pair of Chacos, which have great arch support, but the soles are hard and stiff, the straps are rough, and they're heavy. As another reviewer said, they really do feel like going barefoot -- only better!

These are the best walking shoes that I have ever owned. They are so comfortable and I have received many compliments on them. Can't wait to try them out in Vegas or on the road to Hana in Maui (I wish). Will probably end up getting them in another color also. I highly suggest!

I love these shoes. They are very comfortable and very versatile. I am picky about the comfort of my shoes and these measure up to my standards. I recommend them.

I have AA narrow and one flat foot. These shoes have moderate arch support which prevents my plantar fascitiis problem and I can lace them tight enough to fit my narrow feet. The soles are like wearing an athletic shoe, but much cooler. They are just SO comfortable. I got them in the nile color which is light and blends with most everything. I love the smaller toe look compared to other Keen shoes and I highly recommend them. They will be perfect for our sailing, kayaking, hiking week in the British Virgin Islands, plus every day at home. Got them in 9 and I normally wear a 9.5.

Yeah! As a narrow-foot person, I was losing hope that I could find something in this style that would fit. The heel is super soft and stays comfortably in place. Most impressively, the straps can actually be tightened to the point of the shoe feeling as though it is actually on my foot. Excellent.

These are wonderful shoes. Very light and extremely comfy. I just had them on for a week straight of walking and dancing through New Orleans. No blisters. I wear a 10, it was too small, so was the 10.5, 11 is perfect. Zappos was amazingly helpful with my return, even sending a new pair before they got the others back! Buy these shoes!!!

I was looking for a walking sandal for travel to Europe next summer. These are lighter than most - a little less clunky than other Keens or similar- offer some toe protection and so far my feet don’t slide around in them. They snug up nice in the morning and loosen easily as the day goes on.

I love this shoe! I bought these to hike, rapell, and zipline in Puerto Rico. I wanted something that was comfortable and versatile, and these did the job. I am between a 7 1\/2 and 8 and decided to purchase an 8 based on the other reviews. It was 1\/2 size larger than I wouldve liked (a true 8), but my foot is wide so I stuck with the 8 (to avoid it being tighter on the sides) and it worked out perfectly. They were what I was looking for and worth the price.

These are great shoes! I have the old version, which I completely wore out and these are even better. They\'re lighter, sleeker, and really comfortable. I have worn these kayaking in the Galapagos, to the beach\/pool, or walking around Chicago and they are the best.

After reading about this sandal in others reviews, I decided to go ahead and order it. I like the fact that it didn't have a wide toe box. I got these for our trip to Puerto Rico where there would be lots of walking. These shoes felt great from the start and with my narrow foot and many shoes only coming in a med. width I was concerned. They did well in the sandy beaches and the slippery paths of the rain forest. They have great support and comfort for walking all day!!

Got these shoes for my daughter for our trip to Disneyworld and she was the only one who didn\'t complain about her feet hurting in my family of 5. She loves them! They are particularly light compared to the traditional Keens. I may just have to buy a pair for myself.

An ideal piece of adventure footwear. I purchased these hiking sandals for a trip to Nicaragua. I needed shoes comfortable enough to be worn every day, especially because my feet are sensitive and blister when wearing any new shoes (even comfortable ones). I did have some small friction hot spots, but they didn’t even bother me and did not blister. The shoes were comfortable right out of the box. They dried quickly, were easy to clean off, and offered both excellent protection while hiking and excellent ventilation. The Nile (light green) seemed to be the most subtle color. I would normally not purchase Keen because I find the giant toe box style to be extremely unattractive. However, these shoes are not boxy at all, and are as cute and flattering as this type of shoe can be. Good support for walking and good traction for hiking on wet rocks, sandy beaches, etc. (I actually jumped out of a boat and washed up on the beach in these.)

These are very cute and comfortable shoes. For those of you who have Keen Newport H2Os, I would say that they run a bit smaller, the sole of the shoe is not quite as sturdy yet it is more flexible, and on the positive side, these are not quite a clunky as the Newport. Took them on a trip to Costa Rica...when I wore them white water rafting, climbing on rocks, etc., they weren't quite as stable as my Newports, but when I wore them for casual walking, or out to dinner, they are much more stylish than the Newports.

Exactly what I was looking for - a shoe that can be worn with anything casual from shorts to skorts to dresses and long pants. The color Nile will go with about anything. Comfortable footbed. A perfect shoe for active traveling. Finally Keen made a shoe that fits a ladies more narrow fit.

Totally comfortable trekking shoe for warm climates (Thailand), beaches, rivers and rain. The enclosed toe gives good protection, with great support and cushion on the sole. I’m always sensitive to rubbing from straps, but none of that here even with sweaty feet. The Whisper style looks less "clunky" than other Keens. I usually wear a 9 or 9.5, the 9 was a bit too small.

I wanted sturdy, comfortable, waterproof walking shoes for my trip to the Galapagos. I was deciding between these and TEVAs. The Keens are much lighter in weight which I liked, but the tread looked better on the TEVAs. I went with the Keens and they were so perfect. No matter what the terrain, mud, gravel, slippery lava, rocks, the Keens gripped well and my feet never bothered me. I have very difficult feet because I have large bunions on both. I had NO problems with the Keens. I am going to order another pair or two just in case they ever discontinue them. That being said, some of my fellow travelers wore the TEVAs and seemed very pleased as well.

I have had Keen sandals for 5 or 6 years now and they still look new but I had to try these Keen Whispers when I found out they run narrower. They fit snugger which is great for water sports. I kayak, walk beaches, snorkel, hike in/near rivers...so I appreciate the water worthiness of this sandal. They grip well, too and I think they're kind of cute!

I got these shoe-type sandals to take on a vacation. I loved them! They were so comfortable, like wearing sneakers. They are cuter than they look online. They looked great in person! Zappos was fantastic, too! Fast free shipping? I love that! I'll keep coming back.

Great shoes! I only buy shoes with the best arch support (danskos, chacos, birkenstocks) and I needed a spring/fall shoe (these are too much covereage for me in the summer, when I wear thongs). I was skeptical, because any shoes that are really fashionable (Uggs, Skechers, etc.) generally are terrible for your feet, but Keens are great. Some Keens don't have much arch support, but most do. I highly recommend them. Very cushy, airy, supportive, and from what I hear, durable. You can machine wash them! You can\'t beat that!!!! I even thought they were worth spending $85 on for my 9 year old (with a woman\'s sized 9 foot), since I want her to wear good shoes. And I'm an extremely frugal person. By the way, Merrill and other "good" shoes aren't NEARLY supportive enough for my feet, even with added orthotics. I have narrowish feet (but never wear "narrow" shoes), and a higher-than-average arch.

"Like slippers with protection" Thanks Zappos reviewers for pointing me in the direction of these fantastic shoes! I purchased them for an upcoming trip to Hawaii and I know they will be just perfect. I have bunions and very sensitive feet and these are a dream.

Stylish! Cute! I get compliments everywhere I go. The size is completely adjustable (at least for me). I have one foot that is a medium and the other is halfway between medium and wide. Some of the other Keen sandals were too wide for me. I ordered a second pair in black because they fit so perfectly and I didn't know if I could ever find sandals so ideal again.
