Customer Reviews KEEN Balboa

Wow! These shoes are comfortable and stylish. Plenty of wiggle room for your toes. I really like the style of this shoe, modern and way cool! Just wished they came in pink!

I have been very happy with these sandals. They are comfortable and easy to wear while walking all day. I would highly recommend them. The color is lovely and they are true to size.

These are great shoes! I thought my side toes might wiggle out a bit, but they don't! It's an unusual design. Nice to find something fresh! I get compliments everywhere I go. They're so comfortable, too! The green is a nice hue and goes with more than you'd expect! Thanks Keen and Zappos for your great service.

Great shoes. I wear them for walking, hiking to the beach. I got them in a size 10. I usually wear a 9.5. Perfect because they protect your toes and you get to show off your pedicure.

I love these shoes! The style is trendy and cute. I bought the green. They are the most comfortable sandals I own and felt good from the first steps I took. I have back pain, fibromyalgia, and M.S. and they are wonderful for me. My physical therapist was so impressed with the design and appearance that she ordered two pair for herself! I plan to order another pair in a different color. I selected the 2-day shipping and received them in less than 24 hours. Thanks Zappos. You have a new customer!

I have foot issues with my arch and have had foot pain on either foot. Thank Goodness not at the same time. I bought these shoes a few weeks ago. I just love them. They support my foot. I have a whole closet of Keen shoes. They are the only design that really gives me comfort. I wear a size 6 and they fit perfect. This is the size I order all my shoes in.\r\n

I have worn the same slip on Keens for the last 3 years so was looking for a new pair and saw these. I thought they looked really cute and the reviews convinced me. These shoes are great! Was not disappointed. Very comfortable, lightweight, true to size and I have painful feet sometimes and these have been great. Could be a bit more arch support, but nevertheless they are comfortable for me. I agree with another poster that said it's nice because you don't need polish on your toes for these as they are at least partially covered up. Very cute and comfortable.

I bought my first pair of Keen sandals at the urging of a friend who claimed she could walk for miles in hers. One try and I was convinced. When this new style (Balboa) came out I was unable to find it in any store, so I ordered them through Zappos. I was delighted with how quickly I received the sandals and I intend to order them in a different color (from Zappos, of course) soon.

These are very cute and more streamlined than the more chunky keen sandals. I had to order them in a half size up from what I usually wear in Keens. I have some Ventura's that I comfortably wear in 8.5, but I ordered these in a 9. I was originally going to buy black, since that goes with so much, but I thought it was a little harsh looking since they are so strappy, and I normally like a minimal sandal like Havaianas. I ended up buying in ochre and I really like them. These will be great for long walks. My Havaianas were killing me feet on long walks.

I have several pairs of Keen and I liked the look of these shoes, ordered them in my regular size and I love them. They are the most comfortable pair of Keen's that I own! No breaking in period, comfortable from the first day.

I love these shoes! They are incredibly comfy. I am a true 9 1/2 (9 is always too small and 10 is always too big) so I was excited that the Balboa came in a half size, and they fit perfectly! We did a lot of walking around on a recent vacation and they were perfect for exploring everything from museums to trekking in the sand at a state park. I could wear them all day. I teased my husband that I didn't want to take them off and would wear them to bed. I love the sleek style of the Balboa compared to some of the other chunkier Keens.

So comfortable, excellent arch support which I need for plantar fasciitis. I also needed a wider shoe because of an injury to my pinkie toe socket a couple of years ago, not quite wide shoes needed but nothing constricting at that point on my foot. These Keen Balboa's completely fit the bill! And the color rocks! I got green.

Love these sandals! The color (yellow\/gold) is nice and bright but not overly, and of course the Keen comfort and quality are there. Got my usual size and they fit great.

I love these shoes and love Zappo's service. This is my first pair of Keens. Not knowing how they fit, and based on reviews, I initially ordered them in my standard size 7. But having received them, thought they were a half-size too small so I didn't take them on my overseas trip that I had purchased them for. Zappos exchanged the shoes promptly. In wearing the 7.5 size for the past month, they fit perfectly. The slight cushioning fabric under the straps is very comfortable. I like how the velcro closure material is positioned. Hard to explain in a short review, but I prefer when the 'hook' portion is on the cross-over strap so the hooks don't snag the hems of my pants. The only thing I would change. It would be nice if the toe cap came up just a tad bit more over my other toes so they are afforded some protection.I feel tempted to purchase another pair as a back-up.

Keen has done it again! This new style (Balboa) is wonderful: stylish, true to size and, as always, really comfortable. I have a wide-ish foot and must own at least a dozen pair of Keen's. Living in Seattle, it's important to have all- weather shoes that adapt to all climatic conditions and my shoes never fail me and look great for years. I don't walk well with open heel shoes, so these fit the bill for me. Thank you, Keen folks, for making comfortable shoes that not only feel good, but are attractive. And the service is phenomenal.....I always receive my shoes within a week and returns are easy and free.

Very comfortable and lightweight. Loved the partially closed toe. Would like to have another pair, but can\'t quite justify the price for casual sandals.

I have plantar fasciitis and Keens have saved my feet! Period. These are the 4th pair of Keens I have purchased, and I find them to be supremely comfortable and durable. The arch support is just right for my foot, and though they don't come in wide, they do fit wide feet (like mine). The cushioning in the foot bed makes it feel like I'm walking on a cloud. No more foot pain is a grand thing indeed!

Great shoes. I like the open toe but with a bit of protection. Very comfy. I did buy 1/2 size bigger as suggested and they are great.

Love ordering through Zappos, the price is right, the service is great, and the shoes fit! Free shipping both ways is an unbeatable combination. Thanks you Zappos!

These sandals are extremely comfortable. It took no time to break them in. I can comfortably walk 4 to 5 miles in these sandals at a brisk pace. The straps are very soft and the foot bed is very comfortable. I wish there was a little more arch support, but overall they are great!

Great shoes. Bought them for a trip to the Virgin Islands and wore them hiking, rock scrambling, and on the beach. They have good traction, are comfortable, and dry quickly. This was my first Keen purchase and I will definitely stick with the brand.

I bought these shoes for my daughter who lives in Honduras. She loves the comfort they provide for her feet and the stylish look they give her. When I ordered them they arrived sooner than expected.

These shoes are so much fun to wear. I just keep looking at my feet when I have them on. They are very comfortable and true to size.

I bought the sandals for a walking trip abroad. These sandals are great, protective, good support, perfect for the trip. Zappos was amazing! I had to return the first pair. They were true to size but I needed to get one size larger. I had replacement in 24 hours even before I could make it to the post office to return the first pair. Zappos is a forerunner in customer service!

I purchased these for a trip to Disney World. We spent 7 days in the parks and I never had a problem with these shoes. There were no pressure points, no blisters, and no nasty smell. These sandals are so comfortable. I wear them everywhere. I was initially concerned that the back strap would stretch and lose its shape since it's not adjustable, but that hasn't been a problem. Also, I sometimes have problems with my arches, even in expensive cross trainers, but I never had an issue with these. Great arch support, not too much either which can be a problem sometimes for me too. Great shoes!
