Customer Reviews KEEN Whisper

I own three other Keen Whisper sandals which I have had for many years. I love them! This is the second time this year I have ordered this shoe. Hopeful that the second pair would fit like those I've owned previously...nope! Too high on the ankle and a seems a bit too short. I give up on it. Zappos is wonderful...not their fault.

Unfortunately, Keen changed the design of this sandal. The ankle area is now smaller and very uncomfortable compared to the old style.

There was something wrong with the way the it was molded, with a little sharp piece sticking up under my right heel. I will try to exchange for another pair.

I purchased these because they were recommended for Plantar Fasciitis and arch support. They were awkward to put on, too wide for my foot and didn’t have enough arch support. Also, they were not very attractive and they squeaked when I walked.

I was hoping others were wrong about the arch in these because they are so cute, but they were right. There is no arch whatsoever, something that I count on an come to expect from Keen. I also ordered up a half size based on reviews and the shoe is too big on me. On to other styles . . .

Side straps were very rough. It would be difficult to wear these without socks. Wanted a pair for walking on the beach. Will try another style.

Sad to say these were similar to another pair I got in 2016, and I don’t like the footbed feel. It’s plastic like. Might be good for trekking in water, but not for me.

While the fit of the 10.5 was about right, the 11 was too big. I do not like the plastic feel of the sole. I am trying to replace a pair of Keen I bought in 2012 before a trip to Washington DC which I knew would involve a lot of walking. These did not fit the bill, mainly because of the footbed.

These have a flat toe box which did not accommodate my hammer toe.

After sizing up a half size, these are still too narrow and uncomfortable.

The overall feel of the shoe seems as if it is smaller, especially in the width.

They were cut too narrow l Like the style and sole, but just uncomfortable Would need a wide in this shoe which you did not have. Color was fine. Have other fisherman style sandals, that are medium, but this is not going to be one

This is a bulky shoe. I have been wearing the Keen CNX but it was not available. I am returning this shoe.

Very badly designed

Not happy with the fit just not comfortable

I have these same shoes and love them for their arch support. These shoes (2 years later) have no arch support. Very disappointing!

This shoe was way inferior to any other Keen product that I have. Virtually no arch support, no cushioning in the pad, loose backstrap. Just not as well-made as the Newports. Sent them back. Too bad as it was a good sale price but I’m guessing that’s why the reduced price.

I want to like Keens....but some how they make my foot feel like all my weight is on my heel, and my toes are curved upwards. Very strange feeling ...and you end up walking like a duck. So, I will return them.....

I love Keens they have been keeping my feet happy for years. I have had two other pairs of this style sandal that have lasted me about 7-10 years . They are finally wearing out so wanted to get new ones. They are not like they used to be. My previous ones in this style fit better and did not rub on the outside of my ankle. Sadly I will not be keeping these.

I own 4 pairs of this style Keen, so when I ordered the same shoe in black I expected it to be the same as the shoes I've purchased before. Nope. This shoe in black was so narrow my feet hurt horribly after an hour or so. I even tried getting them wet and stretching them - usually that works when they are a bit snug. I think it's the fabric the bands are made of on this one. Unfortunately I'd already worn them outdoors, and couldn't return them. So, someone at our local thrift store is about to get a brand new pair of not-so-cheap shoes. I am very disappointed and now a little hesitant to order the style again.

I'd love to give this pair 5 stars, but I can't. These don't fit at all like my former beloved Keen Whispers I wore as a daily shoe for 2 years. (My dog decided to smorgasbord all the shoes in my closet at once, so slowly building my shoe collection back up). This pair just feels super tight, and my feet were absolutely killing me at the end of a long day of walking around DC. I normally wear anywhere from an 8 to a 9.0 depending on fit. I ordered an 8.5 to start, returned because they were way too small, then received an 9.5, which is fine lengthwise, but seems really narrow at the widest part of my foot, and my arch doesn't seem to hit the shoe bed in the right spots. I've worn them daily for 2 weeks hoping that they maybe were not broken in, but my feet are not feeling any better. So sad.

Keen, what the heck?!! I ordered these looking forward to the great arch support and wide toe that I have come to treasure in Keens, but they appear to have given up on those things. Big disappointment.

Have never worn Keens, ordered an 8.5 and a 9. I usually wear 8.5/9 narrowish. The 8.5 was a good length, the color - Rododendron/Marsala was great! The shoe looked horrible on my foot, very large toe box, so I am returning - Thanks Zappos for making it so easy!

I loved the look and weight of these sandals, but as soon as I slipped them on I knew they wouldn't work. I have severe pronation and these sandals did not provide any arch support for my foot. I have other Keen sandals and love them but this did not work for my foot.

Ugh... I was so disappointed. These felt like a Keen knock-off. The fabric webbing was kind of cheap feeling and looking, the sole was lightweight and there was no arch support. The shape of the shoes were rather boxy and stiff. So sad I have to return.
