I really like these shoes for a week. I used them when I was hiking but after a week, the back stretched. My foot kept on coming out and I had to adjust the string constantly. I will not buy them again. I am disappointed that I wasted my money on them. I just wish that I could return them to Zappos.

This sandal needs an adjustable heel strap in order to fit properly. My foot slips back in these shoes until my heel hangs over the back of the shoe. It takes a few days of wear to notice this, which also means I am unable to return them. They run narrower than other Keens, but I have narrow feet so that part is perfect. But I am very frustrated to have a sandal that fits in all ways except for a design flaw, which makes them almost unusable.

My feet sat too far back in the shoe...heel falling over the edge but toes far from front. Just don't work for me. Shame - cute, for Keens!

First off I love Keen sandals so I thought I would try this new style. Nothing comes wide so we tried stretching them when they arrived. The inside of the sandal feels itchy. And tight. Too bad I tried walking in them a day so I cannot return them but the old styles were always accommodating. I think they have improved their look and their arch support but it is tighter than I expected.

I am having a tough time understanding all of the good reviews for this shoe. I have chronic plantar faciitis. People who wear these for long periods of time, to exercise, to walk, on vacation, etc., will probably be joining me before long with this same problem. There is absolutely zero arch support in this shoe!! That is so shocking to me because they are made specifically for just those things I mentioned above. I have been looking for ages for a shoe to exercise in that is not a sneaker. My feet just get too uncomfortably hot and ventilation is ideal. This shoe is not it. I did order a half size bigger than my usual size and that was a wise move as they fit perfectly and were comfortable - no rubbing, but unfortunately, it's all for nothing. What a disappointment!

Not for wide feet. I may be the only one on the planet who does not like these. I bought a half size bigger, loosened the laces pretty much all the way, and they still leave marks on the tops of my feet. Also made my feet sweat pretty profusely.

I'm not happy about these. If I hadn't worn them outside, I would return them. Initially, they felt good, but in the recent heat, and on the pavement, they feel stiff and binding and, honestly, I couldn't wait to take them off. I wear them at home when I'm roasting a chicken or reading. I had hoped they'd be my favorite walking shoe.

I have a wider and a longer foot but I can normally wear shoes of moderate width no problem. But these did not fit and the run small.

I wasn't satisfied as I couldn't walk comfortably in the shoe. My foot kept slipping out of the shoe.

Let me start by saying Keen Newport sandals are the best overall shoes I have ever owned. I tried on every style. Whispers, like Venice and newport H2, are disappointing because they are narrower than Newport and not made for people with foot problems like bunions. It is also unfortunate that Keen doesn't make Newport in bright cute colors like it does for every other style of its shoes.

These run really small. My usual size 11 (which is the largest size for women) didn't even come close to fitting my foot. I'm giving them 1 star for the inconsistent sizing from other Keens I own.

These shoes/sandals are terrible. The side openings let in sand and pebbles, and the shoe needs to be completely removed to shake them out. Worked poorly on both sand and pebbles. Also, the "traction" on the bottom was ineffective on wet rocks.

The Whisper just did not fit right. I've never had problems with any of my other Keens. I ordered my normal size 5.5 and my heel hung out the back, so I tried a 6 and it was the same. The problem seemed to be the opening, no matter how much you tightened or loosened, it would push my foot all the way to the back of the shoe. Love the style and love the color, but just didn't work for me.

The strap mechanism in the back shredded after about a month of wear. These shoes just are not well made.

I own a pair of Keen Bali and the footbed has a very defined arch and excellent support. I ordered the Whisper expecting the same characteristics but was disappointed that was not the case. The footbed is almost flat, offering little in the way of arch support. I will return this pair and try another style.

Since I own 2 pairs of Keens-1 size 9 and 1 size 8, I ordered an 8.5. The shoe is maybe a size 5 or 6. I cannot get my foot into the shoe.

These sandals were very narrow compared to other Keen styles. I normally take a 7.5, but I could barely get my foot in one. Love the color, but not the style.

I am a Keen lover, but was a little disappointed with the fit and feel of this style. I usually order 1/2 larger than my usual size, which I did. The shoe length was fine, but the width was very narrow. My foot is hanging over the side of the shoe. I even checked to make sure that I received the correct size and not a narrow size. They are really cute looking and I love the color, but I can't wear them.

Not pleased with this sandal, especially considering the cost. If you look carefully at the heel part, you'll notice it was made in a way that it does not cup up to aid your foot in staying in the sandal. My feet keep falling off the backs. I wore them outside once and now can't return them. Hate these things.

Some of the worst shoes I've ever owned. My foot works its way out of the back of the shoe when walking & no amount of adjusting will correct the problem.

I agree with the other reviews about your foot slipping out the back. There is plenty of room in the toe however my heal is over the back edge. I think its the way the ankle is cut, too far back or something. I had to return these as they were huge in the toe and my heal was still not fully in the footbed!

The ribbon you use does not wear well. I am living in Mexico attempting to have a shoemaker repair. I would not buy Keen Whisper again will lot for another keen shoe that is narrow in size 11.

I have worn these shoes for less than 1 month, on and off. They are already falling apart. Also they are not as comfortable as the other Keen styles, you have to have them very tight of your foot will fall out the back. Not pleased at all! I thought these would be a cuter style but I wish I would have just bought one of the other styles!
