Customer Reviews KEEN La Paz Thong

These are very cute, feminine sandals. They are not as clunky as my other Keens with the rubber tipped clown toes. The sandals are a little floppy on my feet in spite of tightening the straps all the way. They do not fit as securely as Tevas do. So these may not be as good a choice for a vacation beach/hiking/bumping around type shoe. They work fine for cruising around town on the pavement.

I bought these to use during my trip to India. I knew from reviews that I could not be rough on these sandals, but I love the color and style. They have been great for the purpose I wanted them for. This is a very cute "athletic" sandal. It's not as clunky and masculine as most are. It is great for walking around and exploring cities, but I wouldn't suggest it for any hiking or trekking. I do not think it would be comfortable enough to do this, nor do I think that the straps and the plastic clip would hold up very well with strenuous use. I personally will just continue to use these for everyday walking while traveling and switch to sneakers or other sandals for anything else. For the Zappos price, I feel that I have gotten great value for the purpose of the shoe.

I love these shoes! I wasn't sure about them when I ordered them. I was looking for a sandal that would go with a dress but that I could walk in all day and they wouldn't hurt my feet. These shoes are perfect. They look great with a summer dress and I've been able to walk in them all day and my feet feel great. They are easy to wash and very durable. Love 'em!

Very cute and comfortable -- these are good walking sandals, light but supportive.

I really like these for casual outdoor activities when I need more than a flip flop but don't want to wear a full sneaker. I find the buckle hard to open, so I just use the Velcro strap at the back to get them on and off. I find them a little big, but they're easily adjusted, and I think if I went with a smaller size the width would be too narrow.

These are the first Keens that I have been willing to wear. They are not bulky or uncomfortable like I find the other styles to be. These are light as air, and I love that I can wear them in the water as well. The adjustable straps ensure they are snug and secure. The between-the-toe portion does not bother me. I found these to run small. I normally wear a 7, and I ordered a 7.5 in these. They fit exactly. I could have ordered up another half size if I wanted a bit of extra room at the front and back, but I think these will be fine. It depends on how you like your sandals. I ended up purchasing both the black and coffee, and both are great. I also liked the olive green shade.

I ordered this shoe, and the La Paz strap. I liked this shoe better. The shoe was true to size, just a little narrower then I thought it would be. I got the green color and it was good. The buckle is slightly tricky to get open but I loosened the straps enough that I was able to get my foot into it. Also the back strap is velcro, which is hard to tell from the picture. I haven't decided if I'm keeping them yet for the summer. I will be returning the La Paz straps though. I do have the Newport H2 and those fit fine and are comfortable. If you have wide feet these may not work for you. Well, hope this helps.

These had potential--the footbed is comfortable and most of the straps were comfortable, although as cloth, I wonder if they wouldn't stretch after a lot of wear. Unfortunately, the thong between the toes pushes a bit too far back and was uncomfortable. I will be returning these shoes.

I bought these sandals to wear in the Keys and in Maine...needed lightweight waterproof sandals that would give stability on pebbly sloping beaches. I love the narrower, less chunky look of the La Paz, but they do not stay cinched at the buckle so they flop around on my feet and are a stumbling hazard, especially on uneven ground. I have to tighten them constantly and they loosen again after just a few steps. I saw that one reviewer was going to sew the strap in place...guess I'll have to do that also...disappointing.

These are really cute shoes, so I ordered them in spite of misgivings based on other reviews regarding comfort. Sadly, others' complaints also applied for me. They were tight, and had nonadjustable straps at toes which results in a small feel and discomfort. I would not order up, though, as the foot bed would then be too long. I returned the shoes.

I have had two other pairs of Keens, but these are much narrower, especially near the toes. I returned them and bought Chacos instead.

I ordered this shoe 1/2 size larger than I normally wear, for two reasons 1) reviews seemed to think it runs small, and 2) Zappos was out of my regular size. In hindsight, I wish I had the shoe in my regular size. It seems to fit sloppily, and not all the straps are adjustable. I also think the light grey footbed is not a flattering color for a sandal. It would never have occurred to me to care about that until I started wearing a sandal with a light grey footbed. That said, I'm going to continue to wear them because they are cute and semi-comfortable.

Looks pretty. Tough to break in and had bad blisters for a bit.

I didn't care for these. The strap material is just a little too flimsy (not much thicker than grosgrain ribbon), the footbed is just a little too hard, and the width at the toes is just a little too narrow (my little toe hangs off). Back they go.

This is cute but runs small and narrow. I am a reliable 7.5 with standard-width feet, and my toes hung off the front and sides of these shoes. The thong also fit too snugly between my toes, meaning the whole shoe was short. Back they go.

These have great style and comfortable, adjustable straps. The toe box is extremely narrow though. Unless you have a narrow foot, your toes will be hanging over the edge.

I bought these because I love the Keen footbed, but not the clunky toe covering. They are a bit flimsy - the strap loosens constantly so they end up like flip flops with the heel strap under my heel. I can wear them with a sundress and they look cute, but they are not for heavy walking or work for me. Keen, what do I have to do to get you to bring back the Catalina sandal?

I agree with the other reviews. The clip is too small to unclip, but I slid the strap off. Yes the strap does loosen as you wear but I am not using for hiking or power walking. These are very nice cute looking functional sandals. If you want something sturdier than flip-flops these are what you want. They are very comfortable. Buy one size larger.

The colors of straps and the fit around your foot are perfect...until you walk. Then you notice right away that there isn't any support - the shoe bends downward! And the shoe is so heavy that the thinner straps dig into your skin! Too bad!

This sandal is cute - too bad the thong rubs the toes and is uncomfortable. Add that the wrong color was sent and these sandals were returned.

I would love this shoe if it were sized as all of my other Keens are! I have a few pairs and I always get a size 10 which fits me perfectly. I got a size 10 here and I feel like I need a 10.5! They are more narrow then my other Keens, my pinkie toe hangs off of the side in these! I am going to order a 10.5 and hope they work out!

Most Keens fit me well and are great shoes. These are too small and the non-adjustable straps across the instep are a bad idea for people like me with high insteps. For a narrower foot and a "normal" instep this might be ideal. I wish these worked for me because I want a truly waterproof sole for wading in wetland areas.

I already own 3 pairs of KEEN sandals but have always wanted a pair with more feminine look and water friendly, that is why I bought this pair. I ordered both size 6.5 and 7. My usual KEEN size is 6.5. But too bad I have to return both pairs. This sandals look very pretty on the feet, soles are soft and comfortable. My problem is the toe strap is very uncomfortable, it keeps digging into between my toes. At first I think it is probably the size is too small. But the same thing happens when I try the larger size. Very disappointed.

I am always looking for a comfortable walking sandal that can get wet and still be comfy walking all day at a theme park, running, errands, keeping up with two little ones at the pool, etc. I have Chacos and wanted to give these a shot because I liked how the thinner straps, and less bulky bottoms looked more feminine. After just walking in my house I can tell there is no way I could do a day's worth of walking in these - while they do look nice on the foot, those thin straps kind of dig in between your toes. I tried adjusting the fit with the back strap but it did not help. They need to put a loop of material around the strap that goes between the toes, so that straight edge does not dig into your skin. I got the tan straps, and when you look down at them on your feet, it looks weird that the foot bed is grey...doesn't match. They should have made it some shade of tan or brown. They do seem a bit narrow through the arch, but true to length. You have to really pinch the black clip to make it open. Too bad; I have to send them back because they do look nice, but for the price they need to be way more comfortable.
