Customer Reviews KEEN Whisper

I bought these shoes for a trip to Italy that included a little bit of everything: light hiking around Lake Como, walking on the cobblestone streets in Firenze, exploring the tiny villages. They were perfecto! I put them on to go to the airport, and I never wore another pair of shoes for the next eight days. Thank goodness they wash and dry quickly! I have narrow feet, so the ability to tighten the shoes made for a great fit. They are very light. My feet were never sore.

MOST comfortable shoe I have ever owned, hands down. If only I didn\'t live in Chicago I would definitely wear these 365 days a year! Great support, waterproof, anti-odor, super cute in the blue - I recommend these shoes to everyone!! Have already bought two other pairs for my brother and fiance. You will have NO regrets!! LOVE keens

Great shoes, very comfortable, they are wide and I always have trouble with the width in shoes. I bought them to bicycle in.

These are great sandals. I bought them primarily for canoeing because I wanted something that would stay on and dry quickly, but so far I have mostly used them for day hikes. I did a 3 hour hike at Muir Woods over pretty rough terrain with lots of ups and downs (not just the paved part of the park, obviously), and with the exception of a pebble or two, they were fantastic. The reinforced toe prevented some painful stubs on rocks, and they were well-cushioned and sturdy. I wouldn\'t suggest wearing them on hikes any longer than a few hours, but for short hikes and camping they are perfect.

We are a Keen family (3 boys and me!) and finally Keen has come out with a female version of their popular sandals. This sandal is so much more comfortable to wear and walk in than the women's Newport H2 sandals. The foot bed is narrower and is not as hard as the H2. Absolutely my favorite new Keen sandal.

These are my first pair of Keens and I absolutely love them. They are not big and bulky and feel great all day long! They won't be my last pair!

The Keen Whisper is great for my narrow foot. Good Support and nice looking. I now own 3 pairs, will be purchasing the 4th pair in the next few weeks.

I moved to Europe a little while back for school, but before I left I went in search of a good active sandal that I could wear all day on the cobblestone. I also needed a good shoe for water, as it rains almost everyday where I live. Since ordering the Whispers I have worn them almost everyday! They are fabulously comfortable, even on days where I am walking over ten miles. I much prefer them over my running shoes for walking around. They have held up well in the rain too and dry very quickly. This is great if I get caught in a rainstorm on the way to a lecture. Being able to just rinse them off in the shower if they get dirty is also a hung plus for me. I have fairly narrow feet (width A) and an even narrower heel, and the Keens fit like a dream. They also run a bit large which is fabulous (I am an 11.5/12 women but the 11 fits perfectly). I highly recommend them.

I love these shoes! They fit perfectly right out of the box and didn't even need a breaking-in period, no blisters! They feel sturdy but so lightweight and comfortable I sometimes forget I'm wearing shoes at all. Since there was a question of sizing; I wear 9.5s in dress shoes and 10s in athletic shoes. Ordered a 10 in these and they're perfect.

Bought these before a trip to Costa Rica where we would be doing a lot of hiking and whitewater rafting. I was afraid there would be break-in time with these shoes, but since I got them so last minute, I didn't have time to wear them before leaving on our trip. Luckily, they felt perfect. No rubbing, no blisters! I did go up a half-size on the advice of others here, so that might have helped with the fit. They dry out fairly quickly and even when waterlogged, they are still comfortable to walk around in. They also provide good traction if you are planning on doing some hiking. I never once slipped and we were hiking in a torrential downpour over rocky and muddy terrain. I plan on getting a lot of use out of these shoes. I'm definitely happy I went with Keens!

The shoes were great, but more than that, the service was amazing. I ordered the same styles in two different sizes, sent the one that didn't fit back, no hassle, no fuss. From order to credit appearing back on my card, it was all seamless. Please, never change!

These Keen Whisper sandals are lightweight and a less clunky fit than other Keens I've tried. Perfect for wearing while tubing on the rivers here in Montana.

I love these shoes, they go from ocean to the beach and my feet stay comfy. But best of all is the selection and service you get from Zappos. Your order comes sooo fast, sometimes the next day even without requesting it. The return policy is the best and makes it possible to order several pairs and select your favorite, no fuss, no postage. I love Zappos!

Awesome shoes. Great for hiking traction AND great for crossing the river. They do run a bit big so you won\'t err to go on the small side. I am a true 7 but needed a 6.5. Need these to be snug or your heal will fly around.

Very comfortable shoe; true to size. I have serious foot problems and was able to wear them immediately without difficulty. Also, received compliments on them!

Love these shoes, walked for miles in them and they are great. Also loved the Zappos service. I ordered them on a Friday, they were in my hands on Monday afternoon.

I ordered these water shoes at the last minute, as usual, and of course Zappos got them to me so fast it seemed like the next day. I can alway count on their excellent service. The shoes were perfect and just what I wanted.

These shoes are very comfortable, right out of the box. They are plenty wide, which I need/like, and they run a bit bigger than the stated size.

These are some of the most comfortable walking sandals I have put on in a long while. Just a little adjustment on the bungee straps for my narrow heels and I was set. They didn't need any break in time at all. They do run a little hot here in Texas, but my feet don't get too sweaty. Sure they're not cute or stylish, but I bought them for comfort anyway.

Most comfortable pair of shoes I have ever owned. Fit is true. No blisters. No foot stink. Love them.

I had tried on the Newport and Venice styles and they were a bit heavy and bulky for me. I like the whisper much better for my foot. I have a high arch and narrow, short foot so it's hard to find a shoe to fit me well. This is my preferred choice of Keen. I usually wear a 5.5 in sandals and a 6 in sneakers. When I tried on the Venice and Newport styles, I found I needed a 6 or 6.5, so I ordered a 6 in the Whisper. Although the arch was much more comfortable for me (it is a bit looser and lighter than other Keen styles), the shoe actually felt a bit big! So I called Zappos and they were so nice, they are sending me the 5.5 overnight! Hopefully I'll get them today and decide which one fits better so I can get use out of them before summer's over. The only thing I don't like about Zappos is that they don't send you the return shipping label. They make it more work for you to make a return. My printer is broken so I have to go to my uncle's house to print out the return label for the shoe that doesn't fit.

I love these sandals; they're beautiful and they have great traction for trail hiking and climbing. Unfortunately, I listened to those who said they were either narrow or short, so I ordered a 10 1/2 instead of my usual 10. My wide foot slipped around in them. I am in the process of returning them for a pair in the right size. I think a medium 10 will be just right for my 10W foot.

I just wore this for two weeks of walking, climbing steps, biking and generally non stop going, and they were wonderful. I was concerned because I wear a narrow shoe, but the straps were able to tighten enough for me. I had no problems and loved wearing them every day. I highly recommend them for anyone planning a trip where you will be on the go! We got a pair for my teenage son, too, and his were just as terrific. Note: you will need to size up a half size.

After researching Keen sandals online I thought I preferred the Keen Venice H2 to the Whisper, but these Whispers fit much better. The Venice H2 has a much larger rubber toe plate that rubbed the top of my big toe. Venice H2s are also wider and look clunkier, but they do come in a fabulous assortment of colors! I generally wear a 7.5 wide, but the Whispers in 8M fit perfectly, have a slimmer, sexier look, and may be the most comfortable shoes I\'ve ever owned, including very comfy Acorn slippers.

Great shoes! They were extremely comfortable right out of the box, and they did exactly what I needed them to do. I bought them for a trip to the Big Island of Hawai'i and used them to hike over lava, wade in tidepools, and walk on the beach. The soles are very durable and grip well, and the shoes dried quickly after being in water. They're not heavy, and the toe protection works well.
