As usual, Keen makes a very comfortable, stylish shoe. I can wear them all day with no issues. I also get a lot of compliments on them!

These are great for summer. They are very comfortable, easy to get on & off, and match everything. They are great for days when you have a lot of walking to do. I recommend these!

This sandal is so light, you don't feel like you have one on. Went with the 1/2 size bigger and was too big. Gong to exchange for original size.

I bought these because I had Merrells in a similar style that were discontinued. I have a normal width foot, and this is a borderline narrow show. The shoe is somewhat loose on me, even when the straps are adjusted. The footbed is not cushiony at all, but surprisingly, the it's still comfortable. The only issue I had is soreness on the sides of my shins after wearing them for two days. Maybe it's the shoe being a bit heavy? I like that it's washable. It rains a lot in the summer, and these shoes won't get ruined.

Keen shoes just run small. I ordered up a size but they were still too small. The footbed also seems a little narrow and I by no means have wide feet. Sending these back and trying the next size up. Other than the smallness, it seems that these are a very well made shoe and I'm super excited to get the right size!

I was almost scared off by other people's reviews, but these sandals were totally worth the purchase. They were maybe slightly stiff in the between the toe area but quickly softened up and they never felt uncomfortable. The buckle is truly a pain and I will never use because it does not open easily, but I get my sandals on and off quickly anyway. Just pull down the heel strap and pull your foot out. Slide it on your foot, pull up the heel strap, and tighten down the the adjustment next to the buckle. These are very comfortable, tough, and yet pretty. I love them. My only complaint is that the adjustable strap next to the buckle has started to get loose when I walk so I'll be sewing them down.

Since I bought these in March, I held off on reviewing until I'd given these a road test (aka dog walk). It can be hard to tell, just walking around your living room so you don't scuff 'em up while still deciding whether to keep or not. But I'd decided to keep based on a couple things: These are, in theory, just what I wanted -- outdoorsy sandals with good walkability and weather resistance, without the clunky look and heaviness of Teva or Chaco strap-ons. I have bony feet, no getting around it. So sandals, in general, have a habit of being too loose. Consequently, I'm looking for enough "points of contact," strapwise, to inhibit too much front to back or lateral play. These would be almost perfect in that department if they added one more strap running from the instep to side of little toe. As it is, I swim around a bit more than I love, but these are close. And I do like the way they look. So I'm hoping my decision will turn out to be a good call and suitable for longer walks than my old dog is capable of.

I own (and love) a pair of closed-toe Keen shoes, so when I needed a pair of strappy travel sandals I thought these would do the trick for my hard-to-fit wide feet. However, the last in these sandals is much narrower than on my old Keens - and my toes ended up handing out over the sides. I am, sadly, returning these.

I bought this Keen Thong expecting so much more.They look very cute on the food, but lack long term wearing ability. I'm a long time Chaco's fan and these do not compare. The Keen is good for going out on a short adventure. The straps losen easily and need to be adjusted often. The toe hold tens to give me a muscle crap. I'm a thong flip flop wearer. 'Im a FL girl so not new to thong shoe. Hey they look cute on.

I bought these shoes as a temporary light river sandal while my Chacos were being re-soled. Normally I love Keen shoes, but in this case I am rather disappointed. Let's just say that the Product Information for the La Paz Thong isn't quite accurate. Although the polyester webbing itself may be durable, the cheap plastic clips (to buckle/adjust the straps) are not. Chintzy, Inferior and Low-Grade would be perfect descriptions for that wanna-be plastic clip! And sure that molded footbed may be comfortable but, it too my friends, is made out of some incredibly cheap material and will surely never last longer than one season! The greatest laugh I got out of these shoes is from the "multi-point adjustable strap system giving you adjustability and versatility". If I had spent more time reading over that redundancy perhaps I would have caught that Red Herring, but alas that slippery sucker slipped right on through. The webbing around the back of the ankle is adjustable via a very thin and very short piece of very fine velcro. Combine this poorly designed/constructed "adjustable" ankle strap with the aforementioned "adjustable" plastic clip and what you end up with is a sandal that will constantly need to be "adjusted" as that tiny plastic clip doesn't hold up to any pressure put on the webbing and that tiny piece of velcro will come undone if you look at it, let alone walk any distance in it. I should also mention that the webbing for the ankle-straps on my sandals were cut to entirely different lengths (for each sandal)and the velcro strips only align themselves when the strap is set to the widest "adjustment", therefore when the strap needs to be tightened only one small portion of the "male" velcro strip is sticking to the "female" portion of the other strip. Needless to say, it doesn't really hold...especially when wet! So, I guess I would say that I could only recommend this sandal for someone who wants to look like they're wearing a comfortable & functional sandal. I won't be buying Keen sandals again...for the money I'd rather spend a little more and get a pair of Chaco's.

I love how lightweight and comfy these sandals are. However, the slide on the top strap does not stay put once tightened and I'm constantly pulling it tighter - like every 10 minutes. I didn't realize this until I'd worn them out of the house so I can't return them now or I would. I'm going to have to find some kind of homemade fix or I can't wear them without the loosening driving me nuts.

I was really surprised by how much I love this shoe. I have big, clompy Keens too and I hate them. These are incredibly light, and the sole seems to be a great shock absorber. They are attractive and much more comfortable than flip-flops. I wish I had discovered these at the beginning of a summer full of fairs, theme parks and festivals, but I am glad I found them before our cruise next week. I would buy the other colors if they had them in my size (I got the bronze/green and they are very attractive -- outdoorsy but also work with sundresses).

Great sandals, great for the beach or walking around. I like how you can wear them with just about any summer outfit. They are feminine looking and are waterproof. It took me several tries to find the best sandals for the beach or the pool.I am glad I waited till I found these. They are perfect!

Outstanding. Simply one of the best purchases I've made in the past year. Unfortunately, one of the tiny little black plastic circles that brings the straps together broke the 2nd time I wore them. I used a little Gorilla Glue, but haven't worn them since. Might need to return them. But back to the shoe - comfort galore, narrow and light.

I was looking for a comfortable alternative to flip flops that wouldn't look too clunky, and I'm very happy with these. I've taken long walks and worn them all day at work where I'm on my feet a lot, with no complaints. I can slide them on/off without undoing the buckle, but the strap attached to the buckle does get a little loose when I do that and require re-tightening. Love the yellow color, looks great with tan/olive skin.

Hooray, an adult Keen sandal that fits my size 4 1/2 feet! The 5 is a Eoro 35 which is just what I need. Some other brands that say Euro 4 1/2-5 size didn't fit.
Will now search for other styles and colors in Keen.

I bought these sandals for my daughter's birthday...she loves them. She said they're very comfortable. I love Keen sandals myself...I just might get a pair for myself! Zappos provided fantastic service and my daughter received her sandals within a couple of days of ordering...very fast shipping!

I absolutely love these! My foot are thin in some places, and wider in others. These sandals allowed me to adjust the straps on top and in back to fit perfectly. I could wear these sandals all day every day. I think I will order another pair. I wish they had them in red or black without the white decorations, but I love my coral-colored ones.

I love this sandal, it's exactly the type I wanted for my trip to Key West - something feminine and cute, but that I could also wear kayaking and light hiking - then to dinner or dancing at night. They have such a slight, feminine look they are very versatile in that way. Now, I haven't gone to Key West yet - but I have been wearing them around the office and they are super comfortable and they fit true to size. My only minor complaint is they are very slightly irritating between the toes, but not in a rubbing, hurtful way - just the sensation that something is there. I will have a better idea as to just how comfortable they are after my vacation, but for now they are perfect. And they look really good. I highly recommend this sandal!

I love these shoes! The thin straps and light-weight sole make them look and feel more feminine than the other Keen styles I've tried. I found them to be true to size. I also think they're very comfortable for a thong with little to no arch support, and I've done alot of walking in them. I got the yellow, which is bright and fun yet neutral enough to go with all my casual shorts, skirts, and pants. I've received many compliments on them. As usual, Zappos service was excellent!

I love them! I bought them before our trip to Disney World. I wore them almost every day while walking a million miles and pushing a double stroller. They fit well, do not rub, and are comfortable.
