Love them! Same old cushy walking comfort of Keens, but in a more stylish look. Nice enough to wear out for dinner. Kept my feet feeling fine after being on my feet walking around all day. My legs were tired and my back was tired, but my feet were still fine. I was worried I was going to have to buckle them every time I put them on and off, but once I got the buckle set at a comfortable position, I am able to slip them on and off my feet without undoing the buckle.

Fits great! Comfortable walking all day shoe. The clasp is a little bit of work, but once it's on, it stays on for me and this is not a shoe you slip on and off with ease. No blisters, no foot pain, great color and style so it can be dressed up or down.

I think this is the most attractive sandal Keen makes. It looks great with skirts, shorts, pants, day dresses. Perfect for buzzing around on errands and such. While it is very comfy, it doesn't have the sort of cushioning or arch support you'd want for long walks. For that, try Keen Naples. As usual, these Keens run a little wide, for which I will always love them.

Easily some of the best sandals I've ever owned if not the best. I usually leave them on when I get home they feel so good! And, I think they're cute too.

I love these sandals. I was looking for a Keen sandal that was more fashionable rather than just comfortable. This fit the bill. They are very soft with no wea- in period. The only problem I noticed is that the strap is very short and is a little hard to buckle.

These are the most comfortable and versatile sandals I've ever had! The are lightweight, like going barefoot but with protection and support. There was no break-in period at all. I bought them in two colors and lived in them all summer. They pair easily with shorts, skirts, capris, even jeans. Love them!

These sandals are very comfortable. They aren't super supportive, (they're obviously thin soled) but they're flexible and have a nice squish. Mostly, they feel like you aren't wearing a shoe at all. My mom got a pair and she likes them too! Sizing wise, I used to wear an 8.5, I had wide, flat, fleshy feet, and the 9s felt a little better. But the style is forgiving, I probably could wear the 8.5s if I wanted to.

I love this shoe so much I bought it in two colors! It's comfortable and dressy enough to wear out and about without looking too casual.

Great looking shoe and feels great too. It is like walking on air. I have worn this shoe all day with no break in time and was totally comfortable. It fits well though I think the strap around the ankle could be a smidge longer which would help when buckling it.

The first time I wore these, they irritated the ball of my right foot. No problems after that. Hoping that they'll be comfortable enough for my upcoming trip to Italy.

I bought three pairs of these shoes. I moved to the Dominican Republic to do voluntary missionary work and knew I'd be walking everywhere. I'm here now and using them daily. They're fantastic. The shoes don't have ankle support but they are very soft on the soles so no matter what type of terrain you're walking on they're comfortable. The treat isn't for long term rugged terrain, but for city, street, and other casual walking it's fantastic. Stylish and cute as well. I wish they had them in red.

Love these!! I have feet that are wide at the toes and narrow at the heels, making it hard to find shoes that fit. These shoes are really nice for my feet. Plus, the Honey color (though darker than the picture appears on my computer) is a great summer neutral that's not too bland. I wear these to work and have gotten several compliments.

To add to my previous review, a plus about these shoes is that they did have a flexible forefoot as opposed to a stiff sole. A flexible sole is important for healthy walking on normal surfaces.

First pair of Keens I have ever put on. I saw my aunt wearing these today and went straight to the store to buy them (a local store had them on sale, sorry Zappos). I've been wearing them all day and I am now at home, in my pajamas, and still wearing them. They are that comfortable. I just don't want to take them off! And, they are super cute with sundresses, shorts, bootcut jeans, and skinnies! I just love these!

Wow, these are gorgeous sandals and so very comfortable. They fit true to size and the bottom will make you smile. You can't go wrong with Zappos, unbelievably fast shipping, free both ways, great service.

I bought these shoes for my wife for a recent trip to the Middle East. She absolutely loves them. They're comfortable and well made and are a slightly dressier alternative to her Chacos. Because they don't have a toe loop, they do slide just a little bit underfoot on hilly terrain, but overall, they are an excellent pair of sandals! Also, Zappos did an amazing jobs of getting us the shoes on time. We were short on time and looked at these shoes on several other sites, but only Zappos could promise to get them to us on time and with free shipping?! Way to go Zappos!

I just returned from a two week trip to Italy where I literally walked miles in these shoes. I have a really difficult time finding comfortable shoes. I have insanely high arches and suffer from stress fractures. These sandals provided the support I needed and were comfortable right out of the box. They are so soft inside and nothing rubs or pokes at my feet. I ordered the slate black (really a dark brown) and they looked cute with my capri pants and shorts.

How comfortable can shoes get right out of the box? In a word, very. I love Keen's but they have always been so danged ugly that they were best used for walking and hiking in the mountains or on the seaside on sharp rocks. No way would I wear keens with a skirt in public. Until now. These sandals are terrific and feel like a gloves on my feet and they look very stylish and not clunky chunky at all. I am so glad I bought them. The slate black is actually a dark olive toned brown and goes with everything. I wear these daily and they have the good arch support expected from Keen. They are true to size but maybe a little narrower than the Keen H2s which always seemed wide to me. These Emerald City sandals are shoes you can wear all day with a smile from the time the mail delivers until you go to bed at night.

Not quite as comfortable as the traditional Keen sandals with the big toe, but better that other sandals I've tried. Just doesn't have the same arch support that I had hoped for. I don't think I'll be able to wear them for long walks, like I do in my other Keens. I got the slate black color, and like other reviewers, I would say that they are a dark brown color, NOT black. True to size, like the other Keen sandals I have. (I only have to size up for Keen lace-up shoes for some reason, not the sandals.)

This is a great sandal. I love Keens and just received my order of summer sandals for the whole family. I also got two other styles for myself, and this is the only one I am keeping. The style is really flattering to the foot and the leg, and I think I can dress it up or down. It is super comfy too; I especially love the soft footbed.

These are such cute and comfy sandals - comfy right out of the box, super soft foot bed and straps. Lots of support. Definitely cute enough to wear with skirts too! Only one tiny complaint is that I wish they were easier to get on and off, but I can live with it.

Comfortable and stylish. Usually Keens are a bit clunky, but I am willing to sacrifice style for comfort. With this shoe I get both. The footbed is true to Keens style and the leather is soft. I like that I can wear them with a skirt or shorts during the day while traveling but they are nice enough to wear in the evening to a restaurant or on a cruise ship to dinner. It will save having to toss another pair of shoes in my bag. My only suggestion would be if the strap were velcro for easy on and off. I have often seen reviews which state that Keens run larger or smaller but for me they are very true to size.
