Very comfortable right out of the box. Excellent arch support and good walker. As usual, need to get 1/2 size larger. I wear mostly Keen's and love them all. Zappos is great. Returns are a breeze!

I love these sandals. They're so light-weight, it's like wearing nothing at all, and they're so comfortable. I might have to get them in another color...or two! ;)

I love Keens! But I am returning this shoe because I didn't like the color. I will order in the other green - Jade I think it is. Back to the shoes: this is my fifth pair of Keens sandals and ad long as they keep making them I'll keep buying them. It's pretty much all I wear once it starts getting warm. Great, comfortable shoes!

These shoes just feel happy. They're extremely light and "bouncy" - almost make you want to have a spring in your step! They're very soft inside and feel good the moment you put them on. The arch support is okay - but not great. I'll probably look for one of those gel pads you can stick on the sole, given that my arches are slightly higher than "normal." I bought these because I was searching for a cooler shoe to wear in the summer, rather than my big, heavy running shoes. I love that the top is breathable, and when I'm outside walking around, they feel fabulous. But, driving in the car or sitting inside, I do notice my feet feel hot. Still, I simply love how they feel and given that I won't be wearing them inside that much, I guess it's a small trade-off. Love the shoes. Might need to buy a second pair in another color.

I purchased these to take to Hawaii for hiking - they worked out great! They aren't the most stylish of shoes, but I felt that they were the cutest of my options. I was very happy with the level of comfort, they fit fine with no blisters, right out of the box. I'd definitely recommend these.

These are the most comfortable walking/exercise shoes I've ever worn. They are like walking on a cloud. They are lightweight and flexible which makes them a dream to wear.

I'll start by saying that prior to purchasing "Whisper," I had never worn Keen before. I also initially thought I would be purchasing Keen's "Clearwater" shoe, because, quite honestly, it was the first shoe I tried on and immediately loved it. However, I decided to try "Whisper" on a whim and noticed two things immediately: "Whisper" was slightly heavier and had more support. Stylistically, it is a little heavier-looking than "Clearwater," mainly because the rubber toe guard comes up farther and the back strap is wider. But because of these features, I felt as though my foot was just a little more secure in than it was in "Clearwater." I did end up choosing "Whisper," mainly because of better arch support. It's just stylish enough that I can wear it without feeling "clunky," especially in the more feminine colors. Can't wait to start out my summer with this great pair of shoes.

I had a pair of Merrells hiking sandals for 10 years that I wore constantly. I loved them but they were old and smelly. For the past three years I tried to replace them with pair after pair of Merrells sandals but nothing was comfortable enough. And then a friend recommended the Keen Whispers to me. I got a pair and they are the most comfortable shoe I have ever owned. I am that crazy lady who bought the same shoe in seven colors so I can wear them every day! Love! And true to size for me despite others suggesting a half size difference. You will not be disappointed with comfort or style.

These are great shoes, but unfortunately I prefer the other footbed by Keen. I will be ordering the Venice which has the "metatomical footbed."

These sandals were true to size, very comfortable right out of the box. They aren't as clunky looking as some Keens, but they still have the roomy toebox and cushy insole. They're just right for walking around my rocky, sandy desert home.

Like these but I ordered the Newport in size 8 at the same time for a perfect fit but these are 1/2 size small despite also being size 8.

I tried 5 different pairs of Keens and for my slightly narrow foot, the whisper was just right. I have high arches so I could have used a bit more arch support, but for the average person this would be fine. They are cushiony and soft and didnt require any break in period. I generally wear a 7.5 in sandals and an 8.5 in closed shoes or boots that require socks. So I took an 8.5 and they fit perfectly. I guess if your between sizes err up a half size or choose what you wear in closed shoes with socks and these will fit you without socks.

These shoes are so comfortable. I have wide-ish, flat feet. When I put them on, I walked and walked. They are perfect and they are my second pair!

These are my favorite go-to sandals. They were comfortable right out of the box, and fit perfectly. It's like wearing a true sandal, but with more foot support and walk-ability. I will be buying another pair.

This is my second pair of Keen Whisper sandals and I am very pleased with the purchase. I've had my first pair for about three years and they were great. I've worn them in Costa Rica, Hawaii, on the beach, hiking and dog walking. Very comfortable. Bought this pair because I love the colors.

These are very comfortable shoes. I can usually only wear Mephisto or Naot shoes because of my neuropathy. However, these worked but I can't wear them for long walks (all day long in a city). They stretch out after a period of time but you can adjust them with the elastic drawstring. I just bought my second pair and would recommend them.

This is my 3rd pair of Keen sandals but I had forgotten sizes run big. Had to return for 1/2 size smaller. Otherwise no complaints, expect these sandals to last 56 years like my other ones did!

I love Keens. These sandals are very close to being barefoot. They are light weight and super sturdy. I wore them hiking in the Smoky's and they did not disappoint.

I have other Keens so I knew to order 1/2 size up which is equivalent to my tennis shoe size. These are much lighter than other Keens which I love. They are also more form fitting which takes a bit to get used to each summer but it's worth it. After wearing a few times they are very comfortable. These shoes do make my feet look long compared to other shoes. I have the coffee color and the black color. They both go with anything and are very versatile.

Buy these! I got tricked into going on a 47 kilometer hike in the Costa Rican jungle and these were brand new. Not only did they keep my feet comfy I was the only one who ended up without a blister. Great, well made comfy shoes!

Super comfortable, I was very happy about that. They are a good substitute for sneakers in the spring and summer. They are a bit goofy looking...I kind of like that!

This shoe has a very sturdy and non-slip sole, along with protection for your toes if you stumble over rocks while hiking. It provides very good overall support. I love the color. My main complaint is that it's slightly hard to put on - there's elastic all around the heel area that enable you to force your foot into it. I would prefer a Velcro closure - but most Keens don't offer that. Like everything else, I got used to putting them on, and find them very satisfactory for wading in rocky bottom waters or hiking over rough terrain.

I like Tevas, always have a pair to use as casual sandals in the summer.

Comfy, lightweight, and a nice touch of color made these Keens just perfect for the young woman I bought them for. She had never had a pair of sandals with cushy soles and enclosed toes, but was going to spend some time on a mission trip to Haiti. It was recommended that she have sandals and her flip flops wouldn't do. I have hiked all over St. John in the US Virgin Islands with my Keens. Talk about durability, agility, comfort and protection! It seems Keens would be the best choice for this young woman. It was wonderful to see her delight with her new pair of Keens! She has a somewhat wide foot and had read the reviews saying this Keen was a bit on the small side, so ordered half a size up. They fit perfectly!

I have a horrible time finding comfortable shoes. I have bunions as well as being flatfooted. These are the first shoes that I absolutely love to wear. I gave no pain in my feet after wearing them all day, even to walk several miles for exercise. I found that they were true to size for me. I plan to order several more pairs. Now I have to find nice looking low heel dress shoes that feel as good as these Keens do.
