Customer Reviews KEEN Whisper

Had them on for a very short time but felt like I would get blisters rather quickly. I'd wear them with socks but I wanted them for water.

I ordered my standard size, 8.5. The length felt fine, but the ribs on the footbed irritated my left toes. I'm hoping the size 9 will change their location enough to alleviate this problem. Had I worn the shoes for any length of time, I would have had blisters on the bottoms of my toes.

These are not your normal Keens. My previous pair are a lot better made and much more comfortable, but I’ve worn them out. I wanted these for being on my feet a lot and for walking. These don’t quite hit the mark. I can’t say there is really any arch support.

NOT great arch support like my previous Keens! I am returning these. I have worn out my Newport Keens and Venice H2 Keens. These two styles (Newport & Venice) have great arch support. I put on the Whisper and it fits perfectly, however, with the Newport shoe on one foot and the Whisper on the other, the arch support is drastically less with the Whisper. Disappointing because I do like the look color.

Sadly, the Whisper was too wide for me -- and also too flat. I live in the Astoria West, and was hoping the Whisper would have the same awesome fit.

My feet swell and these get too tight by the end of the day, even with letting all of the tension on the strings out.

Really wanted the shoe, but too large

I ordered these and the Newport H2s for comparison, and returned these. There was just a lot of extra room in the toe box that made my feet feel like they were swimming in them. I might have been able to go down a half size but the Newports fit way better, so I kept them and sent these back. I have narrow feet so that may have been part of the issue. I did like the color a lot, but not at the cost of comfort.

I returned this pair and a size larger and my right pinky toes were out of the sides it's the only reason I sent them back

Seems like you have to order one size larger in all KEEN sandals. This model squeezes the toes in from the sides and does not let them sit comfortably under their protective toe guard.

These are comfortable and true to size. I wore them several times walking and they were comfortable from the start. Unfortunately, they are not as "water-friendly" as they claim. The first time I hiked with them and they got wet, the started falling apart. So disappointed since my previous water hiking shoes (Abeo) lasted three years.

I miss the old Newport Keens. These look nice but are quite narrow and dig 8 to the sides of my feet. I'm hoping they'll stretch out a bit as I wear them.

No arch support.

The sole is basic with no structure for arch support. I find my feet ache when I wear these too long or often. I bought another pair of KEEN sandals with a more structured sole and will use these tie dye beauties for more aquatic adventures.

I really liked these but they rubbed my bone spur so sending back.

Compared to other Keens that I have had over the years, these were not nearly as comfortable or supportive. They are cute and thecolor was appealing but unfortunately the fit was not right for my foot so I've had to return them.

Not as comfortable as the last pair I bought. I need backless shoes and can't find them anymore from Keen.

I thought the material was much stiffer than the last pair and a bit smaller....it kind of hurts my toes. I'm thinking about sending them back, but our internet is so patchy I can't get my printer to print a return label!!!

The "tongue" on these dug into my foot, so had to return. Not comfortable, but otherwise would have kept these.

These are really cute, which is a shame because there’s no cushioning in the sole, especially at the forefoot. Otherwise they fit and feel very good. I’m rather disappointed they are so hard soled because everything else about them is amazing!

Cute but the picture here is brown down the center while the webbing is tan. These are flat out dark brown all over. I would of kept them if theyd had any arch support. Gor me they were true to size 8.

These Keen's have potential to be fantastic, but the sizing is off. The design is super cute. The footbed is very comfortable, supportive but lightweight. I have a recovering stress fracture so I need some firm support and these do the trick! I normally wear a 9.5, and ordered 9.5 and 10 based on reviews. The length of the 9.5 is perfect, but as other reviewers noted, they are extremely tight/narrow. The 10's were too big and it was awkward to walk. Sad to return! Researching other options for active sandals.

excellent fit. very comfortable. no pinching. Only problem is that they emit a strong chemical smell like new car tires -- the smell is so strong that I have to place them in a plastic bag for storage or when packing them up to bring on a trip.

I wear between 8 1/2 and 9, got the 9 and thought they might be too big but they actually fit well. I have a narrow instep and small ankles. For me, this shoe just wasn't comfortable around my foot. The laces are really well placed to make the sole and opening snug up to your foot, but the material hurt the top of my feet after 30 minutes of walking around the house in them. I also don't think it offered enough sole and arch support for any real hiking. Sending them back!
