Straps dug into my skin. Hard to put on. They do look nice on the foot, and felt true to size, but for the price the comfort was not there. Sent them back.

Super cute shoes! I loved them for the 7 days I had them. Then the black plastic piece holding the ankle strap on snapped, on both shoes. So I returned them. I could have just tied a string through that part and kept the shoes but I didn't. Also the buckle was very difficult to unsnap, not good for anyone who is impatient.

I am a big fan of my Keen Newport H2s, so I thought I would try another Keen sandal with more breathing room for my foot. Alas, these are a disappointment. The straps are cute, but dug into my feet at first. After about a month of wearing the sandals, now the straps have stretched so much that they are too loose. The buckle no longer works. I cannot recommend these.

Ok, I thought this was my answer to 'outdoorsy' shoes that were not horrendous looking. Unfortunately, they are much more of fashion over function (which is weird for keen)... and if I am wearing for fashion, these are not it. The strap does not stay tight and it slowly opens up as you walk so they become sloppy and loose. The velcro also is skimpy and not secure. Lastly, the buckle is impossible to open an close. It's very cute on your foot though. I have a narrow foot, so maybe with a wider foot you would not experience these issues of the sandal not being secure.

As an earlier reviewer noted, the straps do not stay adjusted at the ankle. You will have to stop every 10 minutes to readjust them when they start feeling like flip flops. Very annoying! I am looking for a new pair of sandals to replace them. Also, I have only slightly narrow feet but noticed that the velcro piece around the back is never tight enough; The velcro strip doesn't run long enough to get get the shoe to fit me properly. Pros: comfy footbed, good shock absorption if you have to run a short distance, decently attractive for athletic

The straps are very thin & not substantial enough to hold this sandal in place on my foot. I was very disappointed, because they look so cute.

This sandal is so comfortable and I love the look on my foot. BUT - the strap that goes behind the heel is too long so it barely catches the velcro attachment. So, I have to return it. :( Very sad.

I bought these for a trip to the Galapagos and the Amazon. They were light and easy to pack and I really liked the thin straps but the Velcro fastenings did not stick and I had to keep kneeling down and refastening. It was quite annoying, so I did not use them for the purpose ordered.

I live in Montana and I thought these shoes would be great for rafting, however the velcro on them absolutely sucks! The darn shoes won't stay on my feet and I feel like it was the biggest waste of money ever. Don't be fooled by the adorable style they are not worth it.

Very disappointed in this shoe. It is cute and comfortable but after only about 2 wearings, the velcro strap on the back would not hold and the straps through the buckles kept sliding loose. Disappointed as these were not of the quality I expected.

I got these are was very disappointed. My feet hurt from wearing them for an hour! There is absolutely no support, and my feet would wiggle around. These are not stable at all! Please do not waste your money on these. You can pay the same price for a much better pair of sandals!

A friend recommended the Keen brand, and after this pair of shoes I would, too. I bought these in May 2012 and I've worn them steadily since including on a couple of trips where I've been able to walk all day in them. Rare for me. The blue is a pretty shade with a bit of yellow and white.

The shoes were great, but I had a hard time finding the right size. They seemed narrow, but I have a pretty narrow foot. Also, I had to order up at least a half size. I never ordered the full size up, but I think they may have even worked better. Love the shoe, but I didn't have time to get a bigger size in before a trip. sad.

This is my 10th pair of Keens. I have styles ranging from clogs to sandals to boots. These are very comfortable "thong-type" sandals - I typically find the toe part annoying, but not with these. However, the velcro straps do not hold well. They constantly come undone. My husband has had to put an extra strip of velcro on it with moderate success. He is now thinking a snap may be more efficient. This is my first complaint with Keen. Please provide more sturdy fasteners in the future.

As soon as I pulled these out of the box, I loved them. Much cuter than they look online. As soon as I put them on, I knew I had a favorite. So comfortable and lots of custom fit with the straps. First impression was an At. Hopefully, as I wear these EVERYWHERE I will be equally impressed.

I just love these sandals. They fit me perfectly and feel very comfortable for such light weight sandals. I did not buy these to go hiking in, I have heavier Keens for that, these are for hot summer days when my feet want to go minimalist! They felt narrower than marked but I have long skinny feet, so that is a plus. The straps are comfortable and do not dig in!

I love the shoes, perfect fit and look. However, I cannot undo the strap without a great deal of work and stress. I wouldn't wear them to the airport because I was afraid I couldn't take them off! I've had them since last summer but only wore them once so I thought they would be better. but they're not. hope I can return them. Winter came and I put them away and forgot about them feeling they would work next time; well, it's summer now and they still do the same thing.

Love these sandals. I buy one pair of sandals as my go to pair each summer. These fit the bill. I'll wear them to ballparks, pools and just around town. I usually find Keen to bulky, but these are slim and flattering.

I'm sorry to say that after about 2 weeks I had the same problem others have written about, where they started out great and then stretched out so much they started flapping around. I am still giving them high marks because they look and feel great, and so far I've been able to use the velcro to keep them tight enough. They really feel great, and they look good.

I was REALLY excited for these shoes. They're a daintier but still practical alternative to some of the more rugged sandals I have. I LOVED that they had the toe strap, cross strap across the foot and ankle strap; most other sandals I've found don't have all of that. But, they only lasted through two summers of regular (daily 4 mile walks) wear. That IS pretty good for a casual sandal. However, given that they cost the same as my sturdier sandals that hold up better... I probably won't repurchase.

I love the look of these sandals. They are comfortable. However, the straps do not stay tightened all day. You have to keep adjusting them. The Velcro on the back ankle strap is not very strong. The buckle on the top strap is very hard to unbuckle but all you have to do is loosen the strap without unbuckling and slide your foot out.

First let me say I love these shoes. I have had more compliments on this pair than any other in my life. I live in Florida and wear them for everything including swimming in the Gulf and walking along the beach. They go with so many outfits too. The coral color pops! The negative - and I seem to be the only one on this site with this issue, is that the small plastic round ring on the inside aspect of the shoe has broken on two pairs - even before I started wearing them in the water! Zappos was great about getting me a new pair. I finally took them to the shoemaker who replaced the plastic ring with a metal one. That did the trick and was well worth the cost. That being said, these shoes are so cute and versatile, I would think of buying another pair as a back-up for when I wear these out - even with the weak plastic ring issue. Keen people, please do something about this problem!

I haven't worn these too much yet, but on the initial try-on, they fit very well, felt comfortable (which is important to me), and looked very cute. I have a very narrow foot, so these surprisingly fit my foot well.

Cute color, fun style, but the toe strap was too short for my toe length and had no "give" so just wouldn't work.
