Customer Reviews KEEN La Paz Thong

These are incredible shoes and are my new favorites! I've had Tevas in this style in the past but I love the smaller straps on these and the cute styles that can go with anything. These shoes are both versatile, tough and stylish. Good job, Keen!

It seems like money is a lot for these sandals but they are comfortable. The webbing was a bit tight so I took a razor blade and delicately removed the stitching at 2 places in the front of each sandal. The foot bed is too narrow cause ladies don't have wide feet, do they?

I absolutely love these sandals. I bought them to wear on vacation where I'll be doing a lot of walking, and they are so comfortable, it feels like being barefoot. I especially like the adjustability of the straps so you can fit them to your feet and ankles.

This shoe in incredibly comfortable, very light-weight, and not bulky at all. I was looking for a sandal that was suitable for the outdoors and long walks, but I hated the clunky look of Chacos, etc. I have a pretty narrow foot, and this shoe fits excellently. I ordered my usual size and it fit like a glove, however I would advise ordering a size up if in between sizes of if you have a wider foot. I ordered the coral color and love the look and feel. Still very versatile and functional yet feminine. The adjustable straps don't rub or feel awkward at all, and I have very sensitive feet. Extremely pleased with my purchase!

If you are planning any trip where walking is involved, you must have this shoe. I purchased this shoe for our disney world trip and I wore them for 8 straight days and I didn't have one blister, sore toe, etc. I felt like I was walking on air. This is the best shoe ever.

I have been on an extensive search for a stylish sandal that has some support but will look cute with anything including skirts. I'm off to Italy for a few weeks and need a light weight option that I can wear for lots of walking. I am very happy with this purchase, the style is perfect, the arch support is just enough for me and they are comfortable; can't wait to go test them out in Italy!

Great sandal, fit is true to size and over all is very comfortable. I love the small strap width, feels like you hardly have anything on your feet yet it has great support.

Love 'em! Like the way they look. They are true to size, but you can loosen or tighten them at the back and on top. They give some support to my feet, which I need, so that's great! Cool shoe.

I love these! They are very comfortable to walk in, durable, yet more feminine than my other Keens. I generally wear a 6.5 but always buy a 7 in Keens. Since these are built differently, I ordered both to check and the 6.5 was perfect. I got the coral color. It's cute! You can just use the velcro heel strap to put these on and off. You never need to open the clip, which is good because it is almost impossible to open.

I bought these in the black color and I love them! I'm always looking for a comfortable and durable sandal that can get wet and go everywhere. These are more comfortable than flip flops, and more feminine than other Keen sandals. The clip is hard to open, but you can easily take them off with the back strap. A good purchase.

Very comfortable outdoor sandal. I wore them river tubing in rapids (I didn't lose them!) and walking through the rain forest with no discomfort. They're much cuter than my clunky 10-year-old Tevas.

These 'floaters' are very comfortable. I usually wear a size 7, but had ordered both 7 and 7.5 after reading some comments about the straps digging in, but didn't find that to be true for me. So, I'm keeping the 7s and returning the 7.5s. Perfect for next 6 months of weather!

I love the looks of these sandals, but they are not the most comfortable. The velcro has only come apart once out of four times wearing them, so that hasn't been a big problem with my sandals. I had to order a half size larger.

Love these sandals! No breaking in needed. I like the way they stay put on my feet, I'm a professional gardener and I wear these for lite duty work when protecting my toes is not an issue. The clasp is kind of fussy, but I put them on and off by loosening the heal strap so I don't have to use it.

When my (ugly) hiking sandals started to give up the ghost, I went on a search for a new pair that would serve the same needs while, ideally, being less hideous. The Keen LaPaz Thong was one of my optimistic solutions. Based on previous reviews, I went up a full size from my usual, and thank goodness - had I gone with my usual size, I don't think I would have been able to fit my feet in them! The downside is that, while the footbed of the larger size is precisely the right length and width for my feet, the heel strap is a bit too long, so it slides a bit more than I'd like. Unfortunately, I didn't recognize just how loose it was until I'd worn them for a bit and realized that I was absently pulling the strap back up over my heel. Having said all of that, they are very cute and super comfortable, and given the history of Keen's excellence, I'm sure they'll stand up to much - I just wish the fit was a bit cleaner since I can't return them now.

Reasonably comfortable foot bed, but more sporty than what I was looking for, will return. Straps rather scratchy, but may soften up with time.

I love these sandals, but as others have noted, the strap with the plastic clip slides loose. I got them adjusted just right and took them to a shoe repairman to have the strap stitched down. They are not as secure as my clunkier Teva's and Keen's, but are better looking, so I am happy overall. I can get them on and off without opening the cheap clip or readjusting any straps.

Super-comfortable, in a loosey-goosey, minimalist kind of way. I was initially skeptical about these, because they felt narrow in the midfoot and my foot didn't seem to sit right on the footbed. Turns out, once you get them adjusted properly, they're great -- after spending days walking around Disney World in these, I'm sold. The straps are super-soft (no idea why people say they dig in, unless they're yanking them way too tight), and if you don't try to get them really tight, the shoe is amazingly comfortable. I was really weirded out when I first tried to put them on, because I couldn't get the straps tight enough to get my foot to sit where I wanted it to. But once I found a moderate setting for the straps, I discovered that my foot settled exactly where it should with each step. And when they're set loose enough, it's easy to slip the heel strap on and off without unclipping -- I've never used the clip. It took a bit of mental re-training to stop fussing when my foot moved in the shoe as I walked, but once I got used to the fact that it wasn't going to fall off and that shifting was a good thing, I forgot I was wearing them -- even on hard pavement or cobblestones. I bought the bronze green, which seems true to the color as shown on my computer. (Looks nice with blacks or browns, too.) The thin straps and pink accents are lovely and feminine, and they look cute with shorts or skirts. Not terribly dressy, but great for summer events where you'll be walking around a lot but still want to look feminine and a little stylish. Very farmers' market, music festival, amusement park, winery tour. If you're one of those people who likes a super-supportive, mega-cushioned sneaker, these won't be for you. But I've recently discovered the joys of minimalist shoes, and these sandals are a cute, cool option. They're certainly not barefoot shoes in the true sense -- your toes don't grip the ground or anything -- but they have that same sense of freedom and movement of the foot. Just don't try to tighten the straps too much -- leave them a bit loose, and go with the flow!

I kept these shoes although they felt skimpy. The sole feels hard and the straps are very thin. Although...I was looking for shoes for an Hawaiian vacation and I was in and out of the water a lot so they worked very well. Also, I think they would work well when I'm camping in the Pacific NW and in and out of the river or lakes. They are a good combination of rugged and lightweight. They look prettier on my feet than I expected so that's good too. Overall, they're a bit weird, but worked for me.

These would have been perfect if I hadn't listened to the reviews that said they run small. I am usually a 6.5 in sandals and 7 in shoes/boots. I got 7's in these, and they were too big. I was able to wear them, but I was at the end of the Velcro, and it kept loosening. Also, the thong left a callous between my toes. Otherwise, they're very comfy, considering they weren't my size.

I love these sandals, but it took me a while to find the right size. I wear a 7, but I need an 8 in these. Once I found the correct size, they are exactly what I wanted: thin, lightweight, yet rugged sandals I can wear in the water or to the beach. I also love that they have some support and dry quickly. Great purchase.

I love this shoe, however, my first pair had a plastic loop break. The other issue is the strap across the foot does not stay at the adjusted tightness, it loosens as you walk. That being said, that is really not a big issue. The shoes look awesome. They are great for walking, biking, walking on a beach with tons of shells. Zappos immediately replaced my defective pair without muss or fuss. They are awesome!

I bought these for a cruise I'll be taking in a couple of months. They run small. I typically wear a 7.5 or 8 and the 8 is barely long enough. I tried an 8.5 but the straps are too loose. I thought the gray bottom would stand out too much but they look great.

I lived in these sandals all summer. They look cute with dresses, skirts, shorts, jeans, anything. My only complaint is that they are a little narrow in the toe area, so my little pinky toe hung off the side sometimes. Otherwise love them and might buy another pair. Easy to adjust the straps, and I usually slipped them on and off without unbuckling.

I bought these as an alternative to slip-on water shoes for an upcoming trip to Jamaica. The fit is true to size, though there is some discomfort in the area between my toes, which I hope is just a question of breaking them in a bit. Otherwise they are comfortable and look great.
