Customer Reviews KEEN Whisper

I really like my new Keens. They're pretty comfy and look groovy. I find that I can't wear them all day, though, so that's why I marked them a '4'. But certainly no regrets.

Arrived in less than 36 hours. Comfy right out of the box. I wear an 8.5 and ordered 8.5 and have plenty of room in the toe box, nice fit on the sides. Heading out to walk the dog!

These are comfortable and great for walking. They are not the best for hiking on rocky terrain, but they are great otherwise.

In every review I read about Keen sandals, there seems to be conflicting comments about sizing. And I understand why - I ordered both the Venice H2 and the Whisper and they fit completely differently. I'm an exact 7.5 and I found the Whisper to be true to size, while the Venice was a half size small. I have a narrow foot and find that Keen runs wide, but these sandals still work. They are a tad loose, and a heavy sandal would have been annoying but the Whisper is light and wonderful. Great color choices too. I'm not sure these would be a safe water shoe for me, but for urban hiking, I'm a fan.

I wanted a not-so-clunky athletic sandal, and loved the brindle/orchid color, so grabbed this shoe 1/2 size larger than my old Keens (my feet got a little bigger post pregnancy). Well, the shoes definitely looked better in person, but the size was off (actually needed a bigger size). That was probably more my fault. Anyway, even knowing the size I had was a bit small, I still was surprised that the thinner straps did not feel good against my feet on the sides. Seems my feet like the thicker straps of the Newport H2 (though that one has the clunky look I was trying to avoid). I returned these, but still love Keen shoes. FYI, I have medium width feet and typically wear size 8.5.

Great hiking shoes for Hawaii, could accommodate wet/dry/climbing conditions. I did have blisters on balls of feet as I cinched them up too much at first. Whisper version of Keen best for narrow feet...I tried another Keen style but too big/clowny for me. That being said, I had to send back first pair and order another. Zappos was awesome with free overnight shipping and return shipping. This was unexpected and appreciated as my time before the trip was limited. Thanks Zappos!

Very comfortable shoe and not as bulky as some of the other similar Keen's...wish it had a little more arch support.

I took these shoes to Africa in place of Tevas. They are comfortable, light and good for moderate walks. They clean up nicely. They can be rinsed off and are good to go. They are not sturdy shoes, but I was not expecting that.

I've had these for two years now. I ordered my usual 8.5 since I have wide feet, but could definitely have gone for an 8, especially since the 8.5 looked a little clownish on me. I kept the 8, though, as I didn't have time to exchange. When I tighten the shoes, the excess in the toe part does fit more snugly, but the strap ends up digging into my toes. Also, they do get smelly, even when I wear them with socks. Even so, I've gotten a lot of use out of them, and just noticed that there are small cracks forming in the sole where it bends when I step. I probably won't buy them again, though I can see why folks like them.

I love these sandals, however they are smaller than I thought they would be making them too narrow for my feet. I cannot wear them for longer than an hour. I will be looking at men's Keens to see if my foot's width can be accommodated comfortably.

Soft inside, very comfy. Felt a tiny bit too small (short) but the next size up would be way too big. Very nice that its more narrow than my other Keens.

I love this shoe...unfortunately it runs narrow. My size rubbed and a half size larger was way too long. I wish it fit.

Love these shoes! Super comfortable and very durable. I think they're cute, but understand they are not the "sexiest" summer shoe. Love that they are waterproof too! Great for street festivals and summer commuting.

I normally wear an 8 1/2 but needed a 9 in this shoe. Did a lot of walking while on vacation and it was pretty comfortable.

I'm glad I tried this shoe on in a store before I ordered online - I always wear a 9.5, but needed to order a 10 in this style, because otherwise, my flat arch and wider foot spilled over the instep a bit. (Though I know Zappos is awesome at returns, I didn't have time to wait for an exchange since I was going on vacation and wanted to bring the shoes along.) This 10 fits good in the instep, though it's a little long in the toe. This shoe is great for those that don't need much arch support, like me. I love the funky color, and have yet to have an odor problem with them though I've worn them nearly every day for a month. The light weight and ability to wear them with all styles of clothes is very appealing. Well done, Keen.

The shoe is true to size and very comfortable. I could wear them all day, everyday and do! However, I have had to restitch the fabric twice and now have to do it again. The stitching doesn't hold!

Nice light shoe, but narrower than most keen's and not enough support. Had to return it.

Added insole for better arch support and now it is the most comfortable, true to size sandal I ever owned and it's very chic. Bought the coral and people often ask about it. Highly recommend it.

I loved the color of these shoes (I ordered the dark red) but they were too narrow for my wide foot and offered no arch support so unfortunately had to return them.

I'm happy with these shoes. The Whisper toe box is narrower than the Venice style, which I usually wear, but they still work for my foot. Comfortable soles, decent arch support. I would order these again.

This style did not fit my feet, so back they had to go (so grateful for Zappos excellent customer service! It takes the fear out of show buying online). I typically wear and 8.5, which in this style was too small- the 9 was way too long in the footbed.

Extremely cute sandal. I was disappointed though because the arch support was non-existent. I thought Keens would give my foot support.

So comfortable. It hugs your foot and provides great cushioning from harsh terrain. Way too pricey though. The open back makes for a flip-floppy feeling and I can see where pebbles and other debris could find their way into the shoe under certain conditions, like walking through sand or other loose ground.

Comfortable and very versatile shoe that I could wear for work (requiring closed toe). A down side might be that my feet get hot with the non-absorbent sole. Rugged construction but not a bulky feel. Love them!

I bought these sandals because I had another pair of Keen sandals and was impressed with their durability. I love the color and style of these beet red sandals. My only recommendation would be to order up half a size. I'm a true 7.5 and these sandals definitely feel a bit small.
