Customer Reviews KEEN Whisper

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.

No arch support. I’m returning it.

I have narrow, low volume feet, and I'm a big fan of this shoe. I have a pair that has lasted like 5 years. They were comfortable from the start and I used them to hike, walk, and hang out in the river. They had better arch support than these, which is why I am returning them. I'm hoping that in next year's model, the superior arch support will return.

This is my 4th pair of Keen Whisper sandals and they didn't disappoint. I just wanted a new color for an upcoming trip and I love the blue! I know they will be great for walking and provide the support I need.

My feet run slightly wide, and these felt too narrow mid-foot. I ordered a half-size up based on reviews, and they were too long. So I think they run true-to-size. They were also squeaky when I walked. They looked cute, but I'll have to return them.

I love the color of these shoes and the Sturdiness of Keens.

I ordered a pair of Keen Whispers in Black and everything was fine. I then ordered another pair in Coffee, and they do not fit. They seem shorter, but most of all, they are wider. I have a narrow foot, so maybe these are the normal ones and the black are abnormally narrow, but the point is they fit differently. I am replacing identical pairs of these shoes, the black are 10 years old and the coffee are 5 years old, and the feel of the shoes seem different....more plastic-y (new) rather than rubbery (old) in the sole, and the fabric tops seem stiffer. Perhaps I'm just so used to the old well-worn shoes, but I don't remember them ever feeling stiff as these do.

I got these to replace an old pair of Keen’s, so I thought I knew what to expect. The footbed was strange on these; too high on the outside of the foot which forces your ankle to turn in.

These shoes feel great even with little arch support. I like the style. I washed them when I received them as a plastic, rubber smell was pretty strong. Even with the plastic/rubber sole, I am deciding to keep them due to how great I feel walking in them. I wish keen would find a way to make a more natural sole. I have concerns about wearing plastics/rubbers next to my skin as it is now being shown that elements of these can enter the body. However, it is a great design, will put a spring in your step and is a good shoe!

I ordered a half size bigger than I usually wear and it was perfect. The color of these shoes however is not as pictured. They are a very dark wine color and so I'm sending them back. Really wanted pink for a change.

Good fit, might run a tiny bit small

Very cute color; it felt too wide for my foot and rubbed in the insteps

I wear a size 10 medium, and although these fit well, they made my feet look really long. Yes, I'm a little sensitive about this since I'm only 5'7", but not all shoes make my feet look as long as these did. Had to return them.
