Customer Reviews KEEN Whisper

I've been wearing Keen Whisper sandals for about 10 years. I'm an 8.5. 10 years ago, the 8.5 was a bit too long but narrow so fine. (They were taken from my car...) A few years ago, the 8 was fine. I just ordered the toasted coconut/pink in an 8.5 and 9 for my daughter, who has long narrow feet and wore Keens every summer as a kid. (She approved the color etc.) I thought even if they didn't work for her, one might work for me. These seem both wider and shorter than Whispers of years past. They were actually uncomfortable just putting them on and walking on carpet. Neither pair worked for either of us and I had to return them to the store I purchased from. I hope this helps.

I loved these water sandals right out of the box- the fit seemed great initially; however, after wearing them for only 10 minutes in my house, the ankle strap was digging in beneath the outside ankle bone- on both sides. I had red marks on both of my outer ankles in that short amount of time. No amount of adjusting the tightness would help. They would be even worse wet and I can’t imagine them on a hike. So sad, because they’re really cute. I’m retuning.

Part of the reason I ordered these was that Keens have a reputation for being wide. These were so narrow that I couldn’t even get my foot in. I thought about reordering in a larger size, but when I held the shoe up against my foot, it was already longer than my foot. Don’t order if your feet run wide.

Seemed tighter than my other Keens of the same size.

My old KEEN Whisper's are a perfect fit but worn out. These new ones are not the same generous width as the old ones and basically a disappointment. Very pleased with Zappos service but very sad KEEN has chosen a new manufacturer. I tried one half size longer but that did not correct the issue.

Ordered the Keen Whisper and the Keen rose sandal, but returning these. Nice sandal in the usual Keen style, but were little hard to put on and off as there is no velcro strap or bungee-cord for adjustment. I liked the more versatile style of the Rose sandal. which also had a velcro strap to adjust.

Ive worn this style and size for years. It could very well be my feet have changed. But these felt little smaller than my other ones and the arch felt off. I love the color. and still love my other KEENS. But these Ill have to return unfortunately

Keen sandals used to be the most comfortable shoes I ever put on my feet, but they must have changed the formula for the sole because they make my feet weary almost immediately. Returning these in great disappointment.

Beautiful shoe, but i had a hard time getting them on so I am returning them and couldn't rate them.

My usual size in shoes is 7.5. Zappos indicated I should order 6.5 but I checked some old Keen sandals that fit perfectly and they were a 7 so that's what I got. The 7s fit well without my toe touching the end. There's good room in the toe box as well. The shoes are a little difficult to get on, but easy off. Unfortunately the sole is almost flat and pretty hard, unlike other Keens I've had. There's very little arch support. I'm sad that I won't be able to use these for summer walking shoes for those reasons. I might have to retire them to my kayak bag as very expensive water shoes...boo...

I’ve had a pair of Keen candles for about 10 years that I loved. They finally started to fall apart and I was in the search for a replacement pair. I was really excited about these shoes, but I ended up disappointed. The hole for your foot to go through is so narrow that it takes a lot of effort to get your full foot down in side. If your foot is the tiniest bit wet or sweaty, it’s nearly impossible to get your foot down far enough to be able to pull the back over your heel. I’m sending them back and trying a different style.

The fit was fine, but there isn't any arch support in the shoe. While it would be fine for some, I need something with more support. Shoe was cute, and I was disappointed that it won't work for me.

The size was okay, but I have flat feet and found the arch support too high, and uncomfortable. Also felt too tight around the ankles and top of my foot.

Regardless of how I tightened the straps, they cut into the bottom of my outer ankle on both feet and were very uncomfortable. I couldn't imaging wearing them for any length of time. The sandal length was fine. They were a bit wide but easily adjustable.

These are such cute sandals, but since I must use my orthotics for best comfort, I must wear low-cut light socks with them. The type of bungee-cord lacing makes them extremely difficult to put on. I can't just slde my feet in. I wish they had worked for me.
