Customer Reviews KEEN Whisper

these are cute and comfortable as ever! I now have whispers in smoke blue, black , pink, teal and this flowered/black. My first pair was beet red, a wonderful color. I buy the whisper even when it isn't on sale because it is lightweight, sturdy, adjustable, not clunky and great for long travel walks. (if we ever get to travel again :) I wouldn't mind a higher heel with soles the same color as the shoe but then it wouldn't be whisper.

I am a true 12 Narrow ... MUST have narrow for most shoes. 12.5 Narrow for athletic shoes. Does anyone feel my pain?!!! I read reviews diligently now, because it seems that shoe manufacturers are making fewer and fewer narrows in the longer sizes. Duh, we don’t all have wide feet! I’m 68, 6’0, and 155 pounds with a narrow foot. I read reviews about this Keen Whisper and thought it was worth a try. So, so glad I did (thank you, whoever you are who said that they were a little narrower than medium!!!!). I can wear them all day long and enjoy them on my feet. I love the cute print.

I love these. I have ugly toes to cover up but summer in Texas requires sandals. These are cute with everything; wore them right out of the box.

I love these Keens. I feel they run true to size and width. I might say they run a tad large because in a closed toe shoe, a size 9 is usually too short for me, but my toe does not touch the end of these shoes. Zappos is the best company for customer service I have ever dealt with. Returns are quick and easy and free. To add to that they ship overnight for free if you are a VIP member. If you are on the fence about ordering from Zappos, have no fear. Just do it. You will not be disappointed. Best company ever.

These were a last minute purchase for a trip to Disney World and a cruise to the Bahamas. I wore them straight out of the box 12+ hours. They were extremely comfortable walking all day. The sole is firm, yet they are lightweight and supportive, as well as cool in the tropical climate, even comfortable when wet. The toe protection was very reassuring walking through the crowds. They were my best purchase for my trip and will be my "go to" walking shoes. I normally wear a 9.5, needing a wide toe box. After reading other reviews, I ordered a 10, but these were too big, and had to exchange for my normal 9.5

I noted that the shoes are not true to size but I did get the size I needed. I wear an 8.5 ALL THE TIME. If I buy European sizing I wear 39. A huge number of the reviewers for this item said the shoes were too small. Most said a half-size but a few even said a whole size. I took their advice and ordered a 9 American. Glad I did because they fit perfectly. So I would agree that the shoes run a half-size small by American sizing. I like Keen shoes in general; the styling suits my life-needs and the materials used are long-wearing. But I particularly like this design. It fits my desire to wear sandals, but also satisfies my need to have my hideous toes hidden. Feet breathe well in these but if I add my black compression hose they look like a normal black oxford shoe.

Very comfortable. I have them in brown and liked them so much I ordered a second pair.

true to size, i'm in between a 9.5 and 10 they fit perfect, comfortable i normally will not wear shoes any shoes without a sock. i do not need socks . love the color combinations, will buy again

I've owned Keen's before and these are replacing a pair I've had for 10 years. I have one foot that is an 11 and one that is a 10-1/2 and the smaller foot doesn't move at all in the sandal. Had no issues with fit at all, comfortable since the minute I put them on and wear them all the time! Would buy these again!

YYES THESE WILL FIT NARROW FEET!!! I wear a 8-8.5 AA shoe size and and 8.5 fit perfectly!! The bunge drawstring will accommodate a narrow foot. I'm on my 5th pair! Not because they are not made well. I have lower back pain and ankle pain and these are my go to shoes for any extensive walking. After a year, even 2 years they are in great condition but I order more each year because I figure even though I can't see wear and tear after wearing so much a new pair will be better. I wear them with shorts, leggings, and Jean's and always get compliments on how cute they are. I can wear them on any every day basis, to river, beach, and water parks and they still look new. The Whisper style is less bulky than some other Keen sandals. Side note: I have bought the kids style for my grandson each year since he was 2 years old (he is now 8) he typically wears them from April to October ( we live in SE TX) and being a rough little outside kid they still look great after 6 months of use. Great anti bacterial footbed (helps with stinky kid feet) and I just throw them in with a load of towels and they are perfect. I highly suggest Keen sandals for both adults and kids.

After reading other reviews, I was really unsure what size to buy, so I bought an 8.5 and a 9. I’m glad I did! My foot is a true 8.5 W, and I thought the 8.5 fit okay, until I put the 9 on and realized just how much more comfortable it was. The 8.5 is going back. This is a sturdy, stylish shoe perfect for a day at the water park or river rafting when you need shoes on while you’re “swimming” and getting wet. I’m so glad I invested in these and not a cheap pair from a local neighborhood department store.

Love these Keens! It is my first pair of Keens, and I was skeptical of the heavy toe look. The comfort is phenomenal. The versatility is amazing! Looking for my next pair...

Got these to replace my previous pair (Newports?, a bit heavier) which rotted off my feet after 7 years of faithful service. Got them for a river trip and ended up living in them during the summer. Mostly use them around the house and garden. These have moderate arch support. I could use a bit more arch support, but they are super comfortable. Don't usually use them for hiking because they don't provide a lot of support, but will do in a pinch. I've been hoping they would make these with a fine mesh/fabric in the openings since they let in mud and rocks in sloppy conditions and you have to take them off to get the debris out. The mesh would allow water drainage without letting in the chunks.

I typically am a 6 1/2 but in gym shoes I size up to a 7. Plus other reviews suggested as well. They fit great and are very comfortable for walks.

Love these sandals. I usually order a wide due to a bunion and hammer toe but these are adjustable and I am wearing them with no issues in a medium width. These are sporting sandals and aren’t gorgeous.....but I’m not into gorgeous!

I really like these, haven't had them long enough to wear longer than a couple minutes. I've bought cheaper brand/style of these and you definitely get what you pay for. These are much more sturdy, comfortable. I'll wear these on an upcoming cruise for shore adventures. They'll work on the beach and also for strolling through town and walking trails. Flip flops just don't work for me! These are a bit roomy in the toe box area which I really like and the rest of the shoe tightens up nicely with the pull string. Overall...very pleased with this purchase!!

This is my 4th pair of Keen Whisper. Nothing is wrong with the first three - I just wanted them in a fun color! Love these shoes!!!

I felt like they fit pretty true to size. Great for traveling , very lightweight. Easy to get on and off.

Keens are my go-to for outdoor shoes. I have a very narrow, flat foot and these tighten enough to hold my foot snug and secure. The foot bed is very comfortable and giving; it's not hard at all. These will be my favorite outdoor, summertime shoe.

These worked great for me on Holiday in Costa Rico. Did a day hike up volcano were I traversed very wet mud, volcanic rock and loose gravel. They felt great with hardly any break-in time and got me back down the trail.

Very happy with these sandals. Other reviewers had said these shoes felt a bit tight. Since I have a bunion on one foot, I ordered a half size larger than usual. They fit great from the minute I put them on.

I have an earlier generation of this style which was purchased about five or so years back. They have been my go-to sandal for the beaches and the cobbles of towns. Since I have a flexible flat foot I need some support and stability and the style and structure has been right for me. I ordered this by mistake as they are the same style as what I have, just in a different color, tried them on anyway. This new generation is not as wide in the front of the shoe box as my old reliable. I will be trying them out while in the house to see if they will work for me. If you order and they fit, keep them, as they wear like the Dickens.

TRACTION/ANKLE BRACE/BUNION: I bought these for hiking in the rain forest and cloud forest. I give them 5 stars because they do everything they say they will do. However, I wish I would have paid a bit more to get one of the other Keen models that offers "multi-directional lugs featuring razor siping for maximum traction." There were times when I was walking on a slippery surface and I wished that these had more traction. My bad for not paying closer attention to the differences in the soles. I have a BUNION - these shoes give enough that I had no problem with the bunion. I wear an ANKLE BRACE on one foot - these adjust well enough to accommodate the brace. There is no break in period. I got no blisters - nothing even close to a blister - and we hiked a lot! The zip line company accepted these as closed toe, but you might call first to check. They dried very quickly. No problems with odors. A really great choice for wet weather. Now that we are back in Texas I will still use them for hiking - but doubtful we'll see that much rain anytime soon.

My daughter wears a 9-9.5 in ballet flats or sandals and needs a 10 in Keens. She has a narrower foot than average and this style, the Whisper, isn't as klunkily wide as the classic Newport. Fits her perfectly! (note: the Keen CMX is even better for a really narrow foot but hers has changed as she has grown in the last year and that style was too narrow this year)

Great out of the box comfort! This is my second pair and I completely love this shoe. They are actually more comfortable than being barefoot! I have a very weak left foot/ankle/leg following a back injury, and my feet feel very well supported in these shoes. Highly recommend!
