Love the style, but even with the larger size recommended by other viewers, my arches are too high. The shoe's style won't allow my foot in all the way, and when I walk, the front of the shoe moves forward, leaving my heel without shoe. Bummer, I really like these!

These are wonderful shoes. I have bought the style before. This individual pair was not quite wide enough for my feet. I did order 1/2 size larger.

Good fit, wide enough in the toes, and good arch support. They are very comfortable, with good cushioning, and sturdy. They are not as soft as I would like on the top, though. Overall, very good shoe.

These slides are a little shorter in length than Keen's usual sizing, and a tad wider as well, so my feet slip out of these from time to time. Regardless, I think these sandals are very cute, and they fit very comfortably otherwise, so I plan on keeping them. I expect to get used to walking in them with more wear.

I bought these because my beloved St. Bart's soles were worn thin and were no longer available. I wanted a comfy but solid walking sandal and this looked like best Keen option. At first they felt a bit snug but they do loosen up and they are just want I wanted: comfortable and sturdy for a long walk or easy hike. No lie though, I would love another pair of St. Bart's!

I bought these (and other Keens) because I have to have a closed toe shoe for work and these pass! I love them! I could use a bit more arch support, but overall, these are comfy and just dressy enough to work well in my particular retail environment.

I like these when I first got them but when I actually wore them I found them to slip off my feet while walking. I am working on it to see if tightening them will help. I love the look of them and the ease of a slip on slide. Hopefully they will adjust to my feet!

I recently broke a toe and needed closed toe sandals. Theses sandals were ideal because in addition to the closed toe they were comfortable for someone with foot pain. I also like the fact that they are washable. Besides they look great. My only grouse is that they make a flip-flop noise when walking. I had read the reviews and ordered one size up. But those turned out to be too big so I exchanged them for my true size.

This is my second pair of these shoes. The first pair was looking a little dusty- they are casual, but look ok with a skirt and cover my toes- I really like the adjustable bungee type cord, as I have narrow long feet. I also like the toe protection.

I have several pairs of Keen shoes. I love them! This pair is half a size short. All my other Keens are size 8M. This new pair is going back. I will reorder it in 8½. What has happened to Keen? They used to be true to size. So few slides compared to two and three years ago. I do love throwing them in the washing machine and air drying! Florida girls do not need heavy shoes! Thanks to Zappos' great return policy I will not have to pay to reorder! Thanks, Zappos!

I really like the style of these slides and hoped that I would love them. However, I did not like the way my pinky toe stuck out of the straps. Must be a foot defect, not necessarily a shoe defect - but just the way my toe is and the way the strap was, it was not meant to be so they went back.

Bought these because I thought they were so cute. I'm a big fan of slip ons so I bought 2 pair. I wish I knew that I should have gotten them 1/2 size bigger but I am managing alright. They are so comfortable and I have a narrow foot so I love being able to tighten them so they don't slide off while walking. Never had Keens before but would buy these again.

I have this shoe in another color & they fit like a glove. I ordered it in black but had to send the first pair back because they were defective. It's was not Zappos fault. The Zappos crew replaced the pair. This second pair just doesn't seem to be as comfortable as my first pair of Keen Whisper Slides purchased two years ago. I am not sure if they have to be broken in more or if Keen is having issues with quality control. I like the adjustable elastic string which helps this slide not slide off my narrow feet. These hold up well & are waterproof.

I wanted these to work and I have tried 2 size up. Both times they are too short and my heel is slipping off the back. I am going to try another half-size up and if that doesn't work just give up. I like the shoe, it's softer, narrower and more flexible than another heavier pair of Keen sandals I have. I have a skinny fatless foot so it just may not be the right slide for me, but it sure is a nice casual looking slide.

I did like these shoes; had to return the size 8 because, as some reviewers indicated, I did decide I needed a half-size larger. I much prefer these slides as I have issues with ankle swelling and just thought this style looked better. However, when wearing the Whisper Slides around the house to see how I was going to like them, I discovered that my feet did tend to literally slide or work their way out of the back of the shoe over a period of time walking. I purchased these shoes for walking on the beach near the waters edge as I have a neuroma in one foot and occasional plantar fasciitis so I need some arch support for sand walking. I have now returned them for the regular Keen Whisper with the ankle strap which I believe will work much better for me.

These are nice looking comfortable shoes. Although the Newport and Venice styles are more comfortable. They fit much smaller than marked.

They don't hold my foot in place as well as other Keens do. I may try a half size larger.

I really am trying to love these shoes. They are so cute and they definitely felt true to size (when it came to length). The only problem I am having is that my feet keep slipping off the end...almost like my foot is too wide. I also have the Keen Bali and the width on them is fine. I'm going to keep trying to stretch these out a bit to see if they will fit better.

Very comfortable, lightweight.
Order at least a size bigger. I wear a 7.5 to an 8 and I needed an 8.5.

I bought the Whisper Slide to take the place of my mule sneakers. They are very comfy. I do find that the arch support is not as supportive as I would have liked, so I continue to use my Dr. Scholl's gel arch supports. I wear these sandals all day around the house and outside. Love the fact that they do not have the flip-flop feel, they fit snugger on the foot. Take the advice of others and order a half-size larger than what you normally would. Nice color selection as well.

Well, I can't find my first review, which I wrote the day I first wore them. In it I mentioned that I loved the style, comfort, and toe-covering function, but was a little leery of the coming hot weather, as the shoe made my feet sweat (all that plastic I guess). The shoe has some sort of "non-smelly" protection, so it says. My feet in hot weather, which are normally not smelly, do not like these shoes in the smell department. It's not "foot odor" odor, but it sure is unpleasant. I would love to see this shoe in leather, which would solve the sweaty-feet issue. I love them but had to mark down one star for this odor thing. Otherwise, they have kept my feet comfy in prolonged village street shopping and general running around. Recommend but with caveat!

After finally getting the right size, 1 full size larger than my normal, I was disappointed to find that my foot tended to slide out the back end. It would be a great shoe if only they could slope it downward slightly, as maybe that would prevent the back-end-slide-out problem...?...or maybe if it was less narrow? I don't know. I was reluctant to, ultimately, send it back, but had to, even after originally ordering a half size larger than I normally wear & still having to send back to exchange for another half size larger still, winding up with a full size larger in the end. It was, otherwise, comfortable & lightweight.

I love the vibrant purple color of these sandals. They run true to size and are easy to slip on. A slight drawback is that my feet back out of them just a bit as I walk, so I suggest erring a bit larger than smaller when ordering.

I love the style and the look but I had trouble with the size. I am an 8.5 tried the 9.00 but did not feel right and went back to the 8.5. I like them but am not sure they fit right. The 9.00 was too big, I thought but who knows! I kept the 8.5 and so far I love them, but they are just right in the back.
