Customer Reviews KEEN Whisper

Not bad, but I found the soles too stiff and hard. A bit more cushion would help. They fit my narrow feet.

Keen's Presidio II Mule is my current favorite shoe, so I was hopeful that these would provide the same level of arch support but, unfortunately, it's pretty non-existent. Very disappointing, I loved the style and color.

I have been wearing Keen Whisper sandals since they started making them. This version fits true to size, but is fairly hard and has no arch support. I would say that a long walk may cause my plantar fasciitis to flare up. That being said, I am keeping these and maybe try adding a thin insole for support.

This is the exchanged ½ size larger review. Fit is fine now. The shoe seems comfortable enough and the top supports my ankles like my walking shoes do. My hesitancy is that they are just ugly! Sometimes ugly can be cute, and that’s what I have to decide. Will I really wear this comfortable, but ugly, shoe because it will be cooler than my warm and supportive walkers in the hot, hot Texas summer??? Sandals are just not supportive enough.

I ordered my normal size of 6.5 since I've never worn Keen shoes before. As many said in their reviews, my big toe touched the end of the shoe, The entire shoe felt tight; however, I feel the straps would give after a few wearings. It's the length that caused me to return it for a 7. It's not a stylish shoe at all, but within that style of shoe, it's good. I want it because it will give me the support and benefits of an athletic shoe with air vents for the summer. The straps are soft and comfortable except for feeling tight. There are adjustments but I need it to be supportive without being tight.

I love Keens but these just looked ugly, and didn't work as well on my feet as Venice 2.

I have problem feet. Traveling via carry-on only, I wore these to/from the airport in February (with socks). While they were comfortable most of the time...by the end of my beach trip, I was getting a blister on top of my toes.

I'm returning these Whispers in Tango/purple only because there was a slight ridge molded into inside toe bumper which hit my big toe. I'm keeping the Smoke Blue because they were fine. I buy several pairs of Whispers each year for travel walking and have only good things to say about them except for this glitch...In the last 5-6 years I have bought beet(which these tangos were going to replace) , raven/rose dawn, smoke blue, black and a deep jade. Love 'em love 'em! I'm giving this pair only 4 stars but just due to this pair

I've had these for a few years now. Overall, very comfortable. I gave them a 2 for style because... well... these shoes aren't meant to be cute ha! My husband and I do lots of hiking when we travel, and we're in and out of waterfalls and streams. In the past, I've bought water shoes that let the water drain, but have no openings. After having these for a while, they've been great, but because of the openings, I did loose a toenail during a hike... I know that's the chance you take, though. I'd give them a 6/10 for grip on slick rocks, and a 10/10 for blisters [I've never had one with these shoes]. I would not wear them on hikes longer than 2-3 hours or with a lot of up and down... you might want more ankle support for that.

Sole of shoe is very hard with no cushion, works for some, not for me. It's a great shoe - wish I could wear it.

These seem to fit better than the H2s but hoping for a more versatile color to get more wear.

I’ve been wearing Keens for years. Really my daily shoes These are completely different soles, and there is less arch support. They are not the thick, cushioning ones they were known for. Walking on hard surfaces like city sidewalk I need the insulating cushion of the Venice. I’m hoping this isn’t a new shoe bed going forward for Keen. Why does everything change for worse by shoe companies?

I got these for vacation to walk through national parks since I needed shoes that could get wet. They seemed comfortable at first, but after a couple of hours, I had terrible blisters on my little toes that required wrapping in bandages to get through the rest of vacation for two weeks. They’re cute, colorful, and airy to keep your feet cool, but just not comfortable for long wear. They’ll probably be fine for camping and boating.

Did what others suggested and ordered have size larger. They fit great.

I felt that the look and the arch support were better in the Keen Venice

The top part of the shoe came up a bit to high on my ankle. So, I returned the shoes. They have a good look and quality, just not quite the fit I was looking for.

These are great water shoes. I love them for swimming hole exploring and kayaking. I wouldn't want to walk for miles in them but they're perfect for summer and cute in fun colors.

well made durable shoe and stylish

On the advice of other reviews, I ordered a half size larger than normal. They are true to size. Should have ordered a 9 but my preferred color is not available. Returning.

I've had the Keen Presidio Oxford for many years, and have LOVED that shoe - great support, roomy toe box - in my usual street shoe size of 7.5. However, the Keen Whisper sandal seems to run a half-size smaller, lengthwise. I ordered this sandal in both the 7.5 and 8. The 7.5 was too small, but the size 8 fit comfortably - I kept the size 8, in the Grape, which is not as pink as it appears in the online photos. The size 8 Keen Whisper had no break in period - fit perfectly right out of the box. I bought these for a trip to Montana and wore them for walking and hiking on flat and rocky terrain. Good amount of arch support, the straps were comfortable and did not rub or cause problems. My feet were comfortable, and were not sweaty or overheated.

The bottom of these were comfy without feeling too bulky or heavy, but were short. I wear a 9.5-10 and the 10 was too small. If they had a 10.5 I would probably keep them, but an 11 would just be too big.

I usually wear Women's 8.5C/D, but got the 9 because so many reviews said they had to size up. The 9 was definitely too long in the foot bed. I'm going to try for the 8.5's. Otherwise, comfy and cute. Was hoping I could have the option to wear sock with these, but they fit like a glove, so cannot get into them with even thin socks.

This is a nice shoe but my feet are hyper-sensitive and I need something supportive but squishier and softer on the insole.

I wish I could have kept these, as I was wanting a warm weather sandal for hiking that felt like it would give better protection than an open-toed sandal. However, I do have slightly wide feet, and these were just too narrow for me. The area where the shoe narrows hit me in a bad spot. I ordered half a size up based on others' reviews, and they were a bit big lengthwise. I wonder if I had tried my regular size, if the shoe shape would have conformed to my foot better. But I went with the Teva instead and am ultimately happy with those.

I found this shoe a bit narrow so I returned it. I have wide feet like a toddler so it might just be me. The Newport is wider so I ordered it instead. Shoe was comfortable and the back strap very giving. I think if your feet are normal width you can walk in these for days right out of the box.
