Customer Reviews KEEN Whisper

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.

the sandals rubbed on my insoles and my little toe. Felt as if I would develop blisters if I wore them too long. Also were very difficult to get on. I have had this same sandal in the past and was very happy with them and wore them out. I was hoping these would work out, but it seems as though something has changed with the design of the shoe.

Defect on strap- larger on left sandal causing a gap at midfoot

I had at home another pair of these, same model, so I felt sure about the size. When it came, it was too tight to slip into without a struggle, so I returned the shoes for a half size larger replacement. They were long enough, but I still struggled to ge my foot in. I realized the problem was that the opening across the top of the arch was just too small and tight. So, I had to return the 2nd pair as well. Maybe OK for someone with "flat feet" or flat arch. Otherwise, it is a very good looking shoe. Too bad it isn't made the way it used to be made.

The shoes were too long and wide They made the arches of my feet ache.

Did not fit my very narrow feet. The story of my life when it comes to shoes.

Narrow, not like my old pair, ordered up and cannot wear socks with this new version, very small opening to insert foot, no longer a keen fan!

I purchased these sandals to replace an ageing pair of Keen Venice sandals (sadly, discontinued). In comparison, the Whisper is more "feminized" - narrower and a little longer, and less substantial (thinner, more flexible sole) than the Venice. This model would probably work fine for someone with a foot narrower than a typical B width for everyday wear but probably not for light hiking or fun in the woods.

I wear a consistent 8.5 in a street shoe, and 9 in athletic shoes like running or hiking, so I tried both sizes. I didn't feel any arch support whatsoever, although the heel has great cushioning without feeling too soft. I found the Keen Newport to have a very flat toe box that rubbed the top of my toes, but this Whisper just rubbed the top of my big toenail so they seem to have a bit more room if that helps anyone else. Also, the Newport's heel strap was so short it shoved my foot into the toe and left a lot of sole hanging off under my heel, but no such problem with this Whisper. Unfortunately, one of the straps of the 8.5 cut right across my pinky toe in a way that would produce a blister in no time, and the size 9 was just too long. Returned, and off to search yet again for a sport sandal!

I thought it was going to be the perfect sandal but, darn it, it wasn't. It just was not comfortable.
