Customer Reviews KEEN Emerald City Sandal

I think these are a winner. I think they run short so because I have long toes, I am going to order the next size up.

These fit okay, not great. The front straps bothered my bunion-ish spot on my outer foot and the sole seemed squishy. The black leather is matte and very casual. Essentially, these are nothing special but very comfy casual sandals. I was hoping they'd look dressier. I'll try again with another style. These will be returned.

Very comfortable and soft. I wanted some sandals that would look casual with simple, black dresses and these work well. The sandal is quite loose to the fit. I find my toes tend to poke past the front of the sandal. Size is right for me in terms of length; the width of the footbed is a slightly loose fit so my foot does slip around some. I like them anyway, though, as I can put them on without having to undo the buckle.

This sandal is very cute and well-made, but it is too wide for my foot. I tried walking around my office in them, and my toes kept slipping off to the side. Should be comfy, though, if you don't have a narrow foot.

I love, love, love these shoes! I have been looking for a long time for a nice looking pair of black sandals that I can really walk in for home and travel and these totally fit the bill. I think I maybe could have worn my regular size, but tried on the 8 and since the ankle strap seemed tight initially didn't want to size down. Other than that these are way comfortable and no problems with rubbing or blisters!

These shoes are a joy to wear. Only complaint is that they are a little wide.

I was looking for a shoe that could hold up to some normal daily city walking but that would work in my work environment and this fits the bill. Normally I wear Earth shoes as I like how they hold up, but they changed the toe box shape this year and that was a no go with my foot shape. There is no arch support to speak of, but this is not normally a problem for me. One problem is the ankle strap "turns" when I am walking so the buckle winds up at the back of the ankle, but a simple tack along the t-strap should take care of this, easy for me to fix and if you are not a do-it-yourself-er, any shoe repair place could take care of that.

These are good, little shoes. I usually wear Born sandals and flats, but I thought I'd give these a try. They fit well and are comfortable for walking. They're also cute, which is very important to me as a shoe lover! The only problem is the buckled strap; it's sometimes difficult to fasten (not a deal breaker though).

These shoes are very comfortable. I do not have a wide foot, so even with buying a size 7 instead of a 7 1/2 which is my regular shoe size, they are still a bit wide on me. The length was fine and the smaller size helped the shoe width to fit better. I walked all over New York city and had no problems. Love them!

One of the most comfortable sandals I have owned, but runs a little wide. I wear a B (average) width but is lose around the toes.

Soft and comfortable all around. They do run small, so I ordered a size up and they fit perfectly.

I bought these for walking shoes. They fit my high arch well and are very supportive and comfy. However, the strap is very short. I assume it was designed this way so there wouldn't be extra leather flapping around but the last hole is a half inch from the end of the strap and I had difficulty fastening it over my high instep.

These are comfy but a bit too "old lady" for me. The sole looks like nurses shoes and I couldn't get over that despite how comfortable they are. Maybe in 10 years I'll wear these!

These sandals have the comfort I've come to expect from Keens. But the footbed is just a bit too narrow. Unlike all the many other Keens I have owned, which are perfectly shaped for real feet. If you have a narrow foot, these would be just fine.

I was extremely disappointed when opened the box. I thought that the look was OK to sacrifice if they were very comfortable, but NO. They are poorly designed. They are marked as medium, but my medium foot would completely slide through the front strap. So for me they are unwearable. Even though they look like orthopedic shoes, they don't feel comfortable at all. Returning mine.

Love this style for Keen, only wish they'd fit. I relied on previous reviews. I found them very narrow in the front toe strap area. That is not bunion approved. Maybe the next size up would work better. I bought an 39, which is my normal European size.

I really wanted to love this shoe, but the left one has a "bump" under the ball of my foot that should be just in front of the ball of the foot. Very uncomfortable. Maybe I should have ordered a 2nd pair to try them.

Bought these sandals as a replacement for some Emerald City Sandals I've had for years. I'm happy to say Keen didn't change this sandal at all. It's exactly the same as my first pair, which is exactly what I wanted.

This is so comfortable! The sole is very soft and feel like walking on a cushion of air right out of the box. Another great thing is the strap, having just the right amount of elastic to let you pull the shoe on and off without unbuckling, great for those of us with bad backs or bad hands...or just lazy. It was also a win for me with no toe thong, loop, strap, or otherwise, I can't stand something between my toes that will rub. And on top of all that...it looks cute! I'm not exactly the "feminine shoes" type, I tend to go more tomboy, but this works for even me and prompted me to paint my toenails a bright color. It's exactly what I needed for the ridiculous Texas summer and would highly recommend!

These are very comfortable shoes in a great color, and they have buckles, not velcro. So there aren't tabs sticking out.

Fit right out of the box. I wear an 8 1/2 to a 9 and I got these in an 8 1/2 and they fit perfectly. I wear these for my daily two mile walk and they are holding up well, with just slight wear showing on the outer edge of the heel. I don't need to unbuckle them each time I put them on. I can easily slip my foot in but yet they don't flop when I walk because of the snug fit of the ankle strap. The double straps that attach the lower straps to the top one made these look traditional but not boring. That is what attracted me to these sandals in the first place.

This sandal is wonderful. Exactly what I've been looking for -- comfortable and looks good with anything. It's very cushiony underfoot and the ankle strap stays in place. Very pretty sandal on your foot. Soft leather; no break-in needed. (The color is a nice neutral brown.)
