I have a pair of keen whispers that I have had for years. I recommend them all the time. I hike in them, I wade through all types of water in them, they support my arch perfectly and I never have tired or hurting feet after.
These new keen whispers dont support my arch as well. Theyre light weight but the light weight that doesnt feel sturdy. They fit front to back fine, but the front of my foot is just wobbly in there, its very loose through there and I dont feel supported. I am not just disappointed Im disheartened. I was so excited to have an everyday fun tie dye pair of keens, but I hardly wear them because theyre just not close to the same as they were a few years back.

These are Great sandals. Unfortunately I have issues with my left foot and I usually have to try different styles and sizes.

4 stars because I find them a little tight around my ankles. I hope once they get wet, they will stretch out. I really only notice it when I put them on and then I forget it once I’m busy. But definitely noticeable.

Very comfortable. Normally wear a 10 narrow shoe but purchased a 9.5 when I saw it was a European size 40. Downsizing a half size worked for me!

The shoes are great but fit everyone very differently. I am an 8 and the 8 fit me perfect. My daughter is a true 9 and neither the 8, 8.5 nor 9 fit her at all. My other daughter usually wears wide and the REG width fit her perfectly. This is definitely and trial and error shoe but if you can find the right fit, it is very comfortable.

Felt narrower than other

Surprisingly attractive (for Keen), and a good water shoe. Very comfortable as expected.

They are a bit snug. I love them, but had to use mole skin on my heels.

These shoes have excellent arch support. They are, however, very difficult to get on. The opening for the foot had to be stretched and even afterwards I still have to use 2 hands to pull the shoe on. If your feet or ankles are wide you might not be able to get these on. I bought half a size larger based on reviews and it's a good thing I did.

not enough support in arch for me. I have very high arch. I think the Keen Astoria would be better for me

Tried my normal size (an 8), but it was too large. The 7.5 fits, but it will take some stretching to be comfortable like my old pair. It seems narrower. Has a strong chemical smell and will need to air out for quite some time. Kept them anyway.

These are similar to Astoria, which I ended up keeping as they fit me slightly better. The fit is very similar. I also tried on the Venice and Newport at the same time and both of those were small in length in comparison. I typically wear an 8.5 in athletic shoes and that's what fit in this style, although just a smidge short in length for me vs Astoria.

I really wanted to love these shoes. When I first slipped them on they felt like they were made for my feet. Everything seemed great, but after wearing them around the house for about an hour I noticed that I was getting a sore spot where the shoe was rubbing on the top of my foot near the ankle where the hole of the shoe is. There is no way to loosen the strap around that part of the shoe so I sadly had to return them.

The shoes are cute and comfortable. I was concerned about size because it has been a while since I bought a similar, much loved style that is no longer made. Although these shoes are a bit longer that my other ones of the same size, it is not enough to be a bother. The toe box has plenty of width for comfort, and the adjustability is enough to make my narrow feet feel secure. I look forward to wearing them when I'm someplace that is not covered with snow!

Consistent quality & sizing over the years. Bought a pair to replace my old pair of Keen Whisper that had inevitably stretched out during the 7 years I've had them. Incredibly versatile and my go to shoes for travel since they double as water sandles but with enough traction & durable dole to handle light hikes on
both slippery & rocky surfaces. More fashionable color options are fun upgrade. Particularly like that Whisper style is more aesthetically pleasing & feminine profile over the Keen H2 style. Confirmable out of the box with no break in period. Old pair from 2014 had break in period and gave me blisters during first couple of wears due to friction from seams.

These shoes have a comfortable sole with good arch support. The issue I have is that they really cut in at the instep. Though they appear to be adjustable, the instep is rigid and there is a solid piece of fabric that I would have to cut for these to work for me. Very disappointing since it would be simple to make these adjust to fit more customers and be adjusted for swelling, if needed.

There's nothing like a Keen. This is my second pair and feels a bit smaller than the first although it is virtually the same style. They are definitely less wide. This is not a complaint, just a description between the 2. They are very comfy and I wear them a lot.

I wear a 5 in most shoes, but read that these run short, so ordered 5.5 this was a good suggestion as the 5.5s just barely fit. Most athletic sandals run big, these are the exception. They really have no arch support at all, the footbed is a single piece of plastic, it’s ok, but might be a little low support for actual athletic wear. The sandals are hard to put on, requiring both hands. Glad of the loops, gives you something to grip while wrestling them on. Yet, despite all that they were comfortable for a full day on my feet at work, and look reasonably nice. I was replacing my beloved Clark’s Provo sandals, which were better, but you can’t get them anymore

I have always taken a 10B in size, but ordered 1/2 size up this time because the last pair of Whispers I bought felt too tight. (I returned them) These feel just a little too big-like 1/4-1/2 size too big. Fit "okay" & decided to keep because they were not that much out of whack...and figured my foot will keep growing and then they should fit perfectly. Just ordered another Whisper in my usual size. Hoping that one that felt too tight was a fluke and the new ones will fit perfectly. Very happy Zappos offers free returns!

I loved the look of these sandals -- but alas, they were too wide for me so I had to return.

Size was great. And was not too wide for my narrow AA feet. Seems comfortable.
