Customer Reviews KEEN Balboa

I love these sandals! I wear a size 11 and the 11 fit me really well. My foot is wide at the knuckles because I have a bunion on my big toe. It's very difficult for me to find sandals for this reason, but these are wonderful. I am a stay at home mom to two boys. I wear these to the park, on walks, to play soccer, etc. I tend to dress a little on the sporty side (khaki shorts, plain shell cotton shirts) and these look cute with the clothes I wear on a daily basis. I've had these sandals for about three months and they still feel good. I gave a four star rating on style because there is a bit of fraying starting to happen on the edges of the material. I haven't attempted to wash them yet. They do not smell, but I don't have smelly feet. My son has a pair of Keens and his sandals smell terrible! Mine do not smell. Maybe the smelly issue just depends on the user's foot. I don't normally spend this much money on a pair of sandals, but these are absolutely worth it! One other thing I will say is that these are easy to wear. They do not require you to "work" to keep them on your feet. I'd say they are a tennis shoe-like fit and provide a tennis shoe-like level of support. Love 'em!

Nothing but positive things to say The 2-way free shipping policy is what keeps me coming back. Live in a small town with little shopping, so what a treat to have a wide selection to choose from. And I just keep ordering until the right style and fit comes to my door.

I love these sandals! They are the most comfortable sandals I have ever worn. I have a somewhat narrow foot with a high arch and my feet are very happy in these shoes. I wear them everywhere on walks, hikes and even to work. They fit well without any chafing or discomfort. I wear a size 10 dress shoe but a size 9.5 in these sandals, which is how sandals usually fit on me, a half size smaller than my regular shoes.

This is my first experience with Keens, and I am delighted! I broke my big toe last summer, and the toe protection offered by these shoes is very welcome. I'd begun to think I was relegated to giving up on sandals altogether. The Keen Balboa is not only comfortable, I think it is a pretty good looking sandal - even my daughter commented that they looked good. My normal shoe size is 9AA; I ordered these in 8.5 and they are just right. I also have orthotics that I use for additional arch support and I am able to use them in these sandals. I'm now a big fan, and think it likely I will be ordering more Keens!

I love these sandals! I have two pairs and am living in them. Good fit and very comfortable. I walked around Washington D.C. one day - 8.6 miles - and my dogs never barked!

I rarely write reviews. But these sandals are the most comfortable things I've put on my feet in years! Very light, comfortable instantly and a perfect summer sandal.

These are very comfortable. I thought having only my big toe covered would feel weird and bug me, but it took abotu 2 minutes to get used to, and now I love these shoes. These are the first Keens I've found that fit true to size without any issues like sliding.

I love the style of this shoe, but I need better arch support because of my plantar fasciitis. I am returning them and getting the black Keen Newport H2 instead. I have had a red pair of the Newport H2 for 5 years and they have good arch support and still look great! Thanks to Zappos for their quick shipments, easy returns, and great customer service!

Awesome! These are fun and oddly cute shoes. Hubby says they are chic. They are comfortable for long walks and very supportive of the foot.

At first I thought these looked a little funny, but I decided to give them a try and from the moment I put them on I have not regretted it. I walk a lot and they are very comfortable and provide great support.

I love these shoes. I have a lot of trouble finding shoes that provide support and comfort without looking dumpy. I recently wore them on a dive trip - they were perfect for walking on the coral path to the boat. My big toe is protected, but the others are open, so my feet aren't getting pinched.

Wow - incredibly comfortable! I've been looking for something like this since Teva stopped making a similar Toachi sandal with a toe guard.

Really different looking Keen sandal but I love them! Fits like all my other Keens and although I've yet to take them for a test drive, I have no doubts they'll be good to my feet!

This shoe is incredibly comfortable. It is easy to get on and off. I wear it all day, including on long walks. It has fast become the favorite shoe in my closet. I usually wear 8.5, but had to get this shoe in a 9. Couldn't be happier.

These are cute, and they were very comfortable right out of the box. The color is pretty and bright.

This shoe is kind of funny looking and I wish it was offered in prettier colors, but the fit and comfort are fabulous. I am a true 7.5M most of the time and this fit me perfectly. Many of the other Keen styles are too wide for my feet. I have worn these for walking around and like hiking and they are great.

Super comfortable sandal! Right out of the box. As usual, Keens run small so I ordered one size up. I thought the exposed toes would look funny, but the look is fine. The coral color is wonderful and people stop and ask me about them all the time. I am ready for all the colors now!

I love these sandals, wore them the first day on a vacation and didn't have one problem.

I ordered these for more of a utility summer shoe...you know, for hiking, riverside walking, beachcombing, etc. I think they're even cuter in person! The stretchy straps are a little more snug than expected, but they are not uncomfortable at all, besides, I guess it'll make them stay on better during activity. I'm a true size 9, medium to a little wide foot with average arches.

These will be the bottom part part of my summer "uniform". Feel great right out of the box. Same size as my other 20+ pairs of Keens. Cannot beat Zappos. 29 hours from pushing the order button to having them on my feet!

Love these! I have been meaning to by something from Keen for years, but felt like I was cheating on my "staple" brand. So glad I bought these! Supportive, comfortable and seriously stylish. I got 4 compliments the first time I wore them! Plus, the toe guard prevents my little boys from stepping on my toes and ruining my pedicure! Seriously, I do a lot of walking around and can't wait to test these out when I go back to my old stomping grounds of Las Vegas. If they can take the heat and the constant walking, I will be hooked for life.

I love this shoe. Comfort is amazing. They are extremely light and cool but your foot feels protected and you don't have to "work" to hold them on when you are covering a lot of ground - like errand running. The yellow is really fun and I wear it with anything.

I have wide feet, high arches and frequent foot pain, and Keen is the shoe for me! Lookalikes do not compare. These were comfortable immediately, and the size was true. Am planning a trip with A LOT of walking and know these will keep my feet feeling good all day long.

I love these shoes - I searched forever for the perfect Keen shoes. My husband and sons have worn Keen for years. I always bought in to their comfort, but I always felt like Fred Flintstone in them because the toe area was always so large. I have petite feet (size 6.5) but still felt like a cave woman in the other models. These, however, retain the super comfort, do not rub at the top of the foot at all, and conform to the shape of my foot. I finally found my pair of Keens. I also found the sizing just right.

This is a great summer sandal. Cool and comfortable. I love Zappos because the stand by there products and returns are easy.
