Customer Reviews KEEN Whisper

Very cute, but they just don't fit. When you snug up the elastic to tighten the shoes' instep, it also makes them shorter. I was hoping they would run a bit long and narrow, but they don't. And there's no size 12.

I have wide feet, so I had to go up a half size... But my toes still have tons of room. I ordered the next size down and my foot wouldn't even go in the shoe. I was very disappointed that these didn't come in wide, especially for the price. Overall, they don't slide off of my heel and seem like they'll hold up on long hikes.

Love this shoe, the color is a little brighter than online. Fits true to my regular shoe size.

Cute water/hiking sandal. I'm a little disappointed that it barely has moderate arch support (I need lots) but otherwise amazingly comfortable right out of the box - no breaking in required - and easy to adjust the fit. About to take them to Central America and put them to the test!

These are nice sandals but too narrow for what I am looking for. My feet swell in the heat and these fit snugly. I'm looking for a hiking sandal. The fit on these seems more appropriate for everyday wear. Also trying on Newport H2 which aren't right either. Will review those. I wear 7.5 and these were true to size.

I wear a 5.5M Initially ordered the Keen Sage which ran small. Ordered the Whisper and the Sage in a size 6. The Whisper was huge and the Sage fit pretty well. All Keens run wide. The Sage seems to fit an average foot a bit better.

This is a good shoe! Comfortable, seems sturdy. I'll be wearing it a lot this summer. Protects the toes but still feels light and open. I only wish it came in narrow width. I am able to make it work with the bungee ties, but I really have to pull them tight, leaving a pretty long strand of bungee cord to tuck into the tops of the sandals. It's always difficult to find narrow width casual shoes. Not sure why that is! Don't expect much arch support.

This shoe has very little arch support and there is a rough spot in the center over the toes that is irritating and so I am returning. Oh, and the Beet color is not a deep red. It is a deep rose pink. Too bright for me.

I have 4 pair of Keen shoe sandals. They are perfect for summer and winter. Size is fairly true 8.5 to 9.0.

These are a nice, deep red color. Be advised that there seems to a lot of variation, even among the same size and style. This pair has ridiculously long bungee ties. But this will be my fourth pair of Whispers. They are study, comfortable and I wear them until they give out.

These Keens are great!!! The only complaint I have is that it would be good to have more covering over the toes like most Keen sandals/shoes. They are super comfortable and durable. I love them!

These shoes are very comfortable right out of the box. Felt true to size, and i liked that the toe box was roomy and didnt rub my toes. There is only minimal support in the arch however, and the heel was not quite as cushy as i would have liked. I am happy with them overall and will wear them often for short walks.

These sandals feel great! I've got plantar fasciitis and while most shoes require orthotic inserts, I can wear these sandals all day in comfort.

I am a 10.5. Because my arches are high, I usually move up to an 11.5 or opt for wide width to accommodate this. I was worried that the Keen's would be too narrow based on some of these reviews, so I ordered the 11 in hopes that the extra length would make up for the narrow width. When the shoes arrived, I found that the width was just fine, the straps didn't feel like they were binding my foot, and I definitely should have purchased a 10.5. The extra length of the 11 allowed my foot to shift backwards in the shoe and my pinkie toes were no longer contained by the strap. They probably would have been perfect if I intended to wear socks with them. Aside from my miscalculation on the size, I loved these. They were comfortable right out of the box. The sole made me feel like I had an extra bounce in my step. I experienced zero issues with the straps rubbing or irritating my feet. I avoided buying these because of the cost, but now I understand that you absolutely get what you pay for.

I'm glad I read the other reviews and ordered s half size up as these fit well, but would've been tight if I hadn't. They do have a strong smell though. The left shoe hits my ankle bone when I walk. I hope it won't be troublesome.

These shoes are comfortable, fit well and the color is vibrant. I usually wear a 7½ or 8, so I opted for the 8 and they fit perfectly. I have only one complaint. They are hot! I wanted something comfortable to wear for summer outings besides tennis shoes. These are not cool and airy like I expect sandals to be. I think it may be the enclosed toe, I am not sure, but my feet felt hot and sweaty. Perhaps when I wear tennis shoes because I am wearing socks my feet do not feel sweaty, but they sure did in these. I wish someone had stated that in the reviews that I read before buying them.

My teenager daughter asked me to get these for her for our family trip to Hawaii. She hiked for miles, climbed over lava flows, and wore them into the ocean. No break in time required, no rubbing anywhere on her hard to fit feet. She has somewhat narrow and very flat feet, and these fit her. These were definitely function over form. She didn't think they were all that cute, but comfort was king.

I have a narrow foot with slight bunions on both feet and this style was more snug than I liked. It also had less arch support in the sole than the Newport and Venice styles. I've decided to return them and go with the Keen Venice H2 that's slightly wider and more supportive.

These are nice shoes. They took a while to break in. I bought Teva Tirra sandals in the same order which were much more comfortable from the start and did not need to be broken in. Once broken in, however, very comfortable and will stand up to a long walk. They do not breath as well as you would expect with the slits. I need to wear socks with them.

I was looking for some comfortable, supportive sandals to wear on vacation. To me, style was far less important than comfort but, if style was important to you, I'd pass on these. As far as comfort goes, the uppers were soft and didn't seem like they'd rub while wearing them and the soles were thick enough to protect my feet from hard ground. Unfortunately, however, they don't have enough arch support so back they go.

These shoes were very comfortable at first, good arch support. However, after wearing them around the house for a 1/2 hour I noticed that the textured insole was irritating. Usually do well with Keens; but these must go back.

I purchased the same style a couple of years ago. The fit is a bit wider now and more "rugged" looking. I still like the adjustment for the heal but only wear it for outdoor activities rather than casual as I did with my other pair.

I love Keen Sandals. These are no exception except: I purchase a pair and within 5 minutes of putting them on, the stitching on the side near the back (just in front of the little support strap in the rear that you see in the picture) started to tear out. I called Zappos and their customer service handled the exchange with no problems. After a week of wearing the replacement pair, same thing is happening. I won't return the second pair as I have worn them.

These are so comfortable! I put them on with no socks they were immediately comfortable. My feet feel very secure in them in the water, too.
