Customer Reviews KEEN Balboa

I was so excited to buy my first pair of Keen sandals. BUT, I have been very disappointed. The strap that goes across the top of the foot does not pull tight enough. Therefore, to be intensely walking, like I bought them to do, is impossible. I am struggling to just keep my sandal on. My back and my feet hurt after wearing these sandals for just a short 1/2 mile - 1 mile walk.

Great shoes - if you have pretty toes! Bought these before a trip that combined lots of walking with time on the beach, but wanted something cuter than standard Keens. They were great for both purposes, and washed well when the trip was over. The orange color is eye-catching, and the design unusual enough that people will comment. If your toes are ugly, this is not the shoe for you! The arch support was great; much better than typical flats/flip flops, Merrells, Tevas.

As usual, everything perfect. The style, fit, color, comfort and delivery! KG

These shoes were very comfortable. I bought them for a trip to India and spent many hours walking in extreme heat. I was able to wash them at night and by morning they were dry and ready to go again. I normally wear an 8 but in these I needed 8.5.

The only pair of shoes that do not burn my feet! I have numerous feet issues the most problematic is neuropathy. My feet always burn except when I am barefoot. I keep trying to find a comfortable shoe. This is my only true success in years and I have tried everything. I need a back strap, a soft top and a flexible sole. My feet can't be cramped - and the open toe area (I can't wear flip flops) works. Until now all shoes either cramp my feet or are too big. My feet are incredibly sensitive. I am so very thrilled and highly recommend this shoe to everyone. The slight rock creates a great arch support without feeling like an arch support. The adjustable strap made for a perfect fit.

Great sandals! These are the least clunky Keens I own, and I own several because the Keen foot bed fits me so well. With these sandals, I love the way my big toe is protected, but my other toes are free to the air. I have a very high instep, but the strap doesn't bother. FYI, it looks adjustable, but the instep strap is lined with a nice, but fixed, fabric. Overall, very comfortable sandal. And nice enough for work!

Great pair of sandals. Comfortable right out of the box. I walk 4 or 5 miles a day in these and my feet are completely comfortable.

I have been wearing this shoe for about one month and it is extremely comfortable and yet supportive. I have very bad arthritis in my feet, so when I am able to say a shoe is comfortable, it really is.

I wore these shoes 5 days straight at Disney World in Florida, right out of the box. They are the most comfortable, supportive sandals I now own. This is my 6th pair of Keens and I will most likely own more. I wear an 8-9 shoe, depending on the make and the 8.5 fits me perfectly. I have a normal to narrow width, so the velcro is helpful to make it snug.

I have never worn Keen brand before. These are so comfortable. I was looking for a shoe/sandal that I could walk in. I have had complete reconstructive surgery on my foot (started with bunion) and these sandals are just great! I love them & the color.

Great shoes! These are so much more stylish than most Keens, and they actually look good on your feet! Of course, they have that wonderful support and comfort that other Keens have, as well. I have these in the green and also the black, and I find myself reaching for these a lot. They actually look good with a lot of outfits. Get these and get compliments!

Love this sandal - I purchased a 9.5 initially, and it was just a wee bit short on one foot, so I got a size 10. They were comfortable from the first step. I thought they might be a bit tight across the instep, but felt comfy even after a few hours. I love the Keen Venice and this seems to have the same footbed. They are a little more feminine looking, so that is a plus. A new favorite for summer!

I like that these keen sandals are more open then the others that I own. I wear keens a lot! They are true to size and very comfortable. They are easy to walk long distances and hike in. I bought them to wear during our vacation to Vienna, where I knew that we would be walking all day. I wanted something that would be comfortable but still look acceptable with crop pants. I chose this pair of Keen sandals and a pair of Propet travel tennis shoes. I wore both, alternating, all week and my feet felt great! We probably walked 10 miles a day and my feet never hurt once. I will enjoy these Keen sandals all summer long!

I knew as soon as I saw the picture that I would love this sandal, and I was right. Keen is always a comfortable walking shoe and this one delivers. I have one foot a size larger than the other and with Keen, somehow, I can be comfortable in one size shoe on both feet. And of course I love Zappos!

Got got them yesterday wore them all day today and my feet are happy! I have a herniated disc and it's so hard to wear sneakers/shoes all the time. Now I can wear a sandal that is comfortable and good for my back! Fit was perfect.

Love my new Keens. From the time they arrived and I put them on I've worn them almost everyday.

Great sandal. Love the toe protection. Very comfortable. Adequate arch support. Easy on and off, yet adjustable to stay tightly on the foot without having to grip with my toes.

Love the shoes, true to size; no break-in needed! And, once again, amazing service!

This is my first pair of Keen's and I love them! These shoes are really comfortable right out of the box and are super cute. I will probably buy another pair in a different color. I ordered these shoes on a Tuesday evening and got them Thursday afternoon. I always have the fastest shipping with Zappos and great customer service, so I don't even bother looking anywhere else for shoes.

Love these sandals. I got the green and the brown. Normally wear size 8, got 8 and a half and they are perfect. Nice open style to keep my feet cool but still good support.

They are very comfy and look great, but the feet might get a bit smelly at the end of a very hot day.

Love these shoes. I bought the Mint color too. My husband purchased the Tan. He loves the open toe. We love the light weight. Thank you for the new updates. Some of us have "Hot Feet."

I love the Keen Balboa. So light, open and airy. My toes bang up against the front of closed toe shoes, but not in these. I normally wear a 7-1/2 and have a narrow and average foot, but purchased these in a size 8. They fit perfectly and give me a little more room. Will be ordering another pair today. Luv, luv, luv.

I love these sandals. I have 2 pair. I bought my first pair last summer. They are the only closed toe sandals that fit me good. I have skinny, bony feet and need something with adjustable closure. These shoes are very comfortable, good support and don't rub my heel or toes anywhere. I always have trouble with shoes rubbing my feet somewhere and these don't. I am very happy with these shoes!
