Customer Reviews KEEN Balboa

Great shoes! I needed the same size as my running shoes, if that helps in deciding what size you need to order.

This is the third pair of these sandals that I own (in different colors). I need a half size larger with this particular Keen style (can wear my regular size in Keen flip flops). They are extremely comfortable, no breaking in needed. The straps don't rub or hurt anywhere. I like the EVA soles on Keen sandals because they are so supportive. I know I can wear these all day and my knees and back won't ache. Also, the more open style of this sandal is great because your feet stay cool, but your big toes are protected. Plus, these shoes are indestructible. They get wet, muddy, have stuff spilled on them, get stuck in rocks, etc., and clean up and come out just fine.

Just received my new sandals. Love them. They fit true to size are comfy and soft straps fit well and snugly hold the foot.

Love these shoes! Wore them right out of the box all day. Will get another pair. I love Keen and Zappos, but wanted a shoe that was a little dressier. This is it! My Keen size is one/half size larger than normal.

I have 2 pairs of these shoes and I felt I needed to give a review from a raft guide's perspective. First of all, great for the river and the boat! They are lightweight and they float if you happen to lose one (unlike Chacos) Also the reason I chose this particular shoe was that they were the most open so I can get rocks out of them more easily than the other keens with more straps. An added bonus that I didn't think about until after wearing them was that the velcro strap over the top didn't bother my foot when I jam it under the thwart (unlike the keens with the compression strap and the chacos with the plastic buckle) One thing I have learned is to go smaller on these because when they get wet, they stretch out. My normal size shoe is 9.5 and my first pair I bought was 9. To keep them tight when they got wet I had to really pull the Velcro strap to the end. The second pair I bought were 8.5 and they are nice and snug on my feet but not bad when dry. When wet they feel secure. So if you are planning on wearing these in the river a lot I highly recommend this shoe and I recommend a full size smaller than your normal size.

I went on a cruise and needed some sandals for our excursions. I needed a good pair of sandals that would work for land and water and these were perfect! They were so comfortable and worked perfectly for days we were in town and on our feet all day as well as for on the beach!

These are great shoes! They are true to size, and comfortable right out of the box. With Zappos' speedy service and free shipping, I am coming back for another pair!

Went on vacation with this shoe and I wore nothing else it was so very comfortable I did a lot of walking this shoe held up great.

More protection than other sandles. Comfort all day long when on your feet. This woks all summer long.

Very comfortable right from the get-go. I like the toe bumper, as I have Morton's Toe! I wore them in the ocean, and they dried quickly and without spotting. And I like the color.

I love my Balboas! They are cute, and I can wear them with a skirt. I've even had people stop and ask me where I bought them. My only complaint is that after one summer, they look worn out and loose threads, and the heel looks compressed. But they are so very comfortable, even in their current distressed state.

I have a myriad of foot problems and I have to wear shoes when I go swimming and these are perfect for me! I bought my first pair at a shoe store that specializes in foot disorders and they suggested that I buy a size up when buying them, I normally wear a 7 but I wear an 8 in Keens and they feel just right. They're not the most stylish shoes I own but they're by far the most comfortable.

I was looking for good walking shoes for the summer here in Melbourne. So far, they are doing the trick. I could do with a little more arch support (I have flat feet) but I haven't had sore feet after wearing them yet. One quirk is how your big toe second toe are covered and the rest are exposed. Just feels a little odd, but not uncomfortable. This is my forth pair of Keens and I have loved them all!

So cute! But I chose a different Keen sandal since it was more comfortable and I would be doing a lot of walking on a trip. Also felt slightly short. Maybe a half size larger would be best. I only wear a 5 1/2, so am always afraid to buy larger.

Needed shoes for vacation in Costa Rica, but did not want to waste money on a pair that I would never wear again. After searching through dozens of shoes that I frankly would never be caught dead in, I found the Balboa. More sophisticated looking than the others, it is sleek, practical and comfortable - a perfect combo of style and function.

Love my Balboas. I ordered them a half size larger than what I normally wear so that my outside toes would not hang off the sole.

I love these shoes. They are lightweight and look a little dressier than my usual Newports. They look good with a pair of tights and a pair of slacks also. I say when your feet are happy you are happy. Try them; they are great!

I had the H2 version of Keens great arch support, then I liked the more feminine Venice version, no arch support, then I read the arch reviews on the Balboa most said extremely good arch support so I brought them. No arch support. Obviously I love the support and comfort of Keens. These are my 4th pair. Very open so my feet are cooler.

I love these Keens! So comfortable. They are great for my wide feet. If you have narrow feet, though, they may be too wide for you. I wore them all day running errands and they felt great all day.

These shoes are awesome. Great summer sandal that looks nice but provides lots of support. Everywhere I go people want to know where I got them, so Zappos you are getting a lot of advertising.

I love them. They are very comfortable and the toe protection gives my shoes a unique style.

Love these shoes! Wish I had purchased them sooner. Per earlier reviews I read I'm glad I went up 1/2 size. They feel great for my walks. They are coming with me on my trip to San Francisco! Love them!

Very comfortable shoes and fit was perfect. My feet are staying cool in the summer heat. I subsequently bought them in green.

First purchase from Zappos and couldn\'t be more pleased. Shoes are great but I do recommend purchasing a half size up. I normally wear a 9 1\/2 and the size 10 was a perfect fit. Love these shoes. My first Keens but they won\'t be my last!

\r\nMy first pair of shoes by Keen and I am really impressed. These shoes are the kind you can wear all day and not even feel like you are wearing shoes at all. They are so comfortable. Love them!
