Customer Reviews KEEN Clearwater CNX

I got mine yesterday. Buyers beware: 1) In my particular monitor, the olive green color looked much more tan and subdued. The real color is true, kind of bright olive green. No tan/beige tone whatsoever. Perhaps it's a problem with my monitor, although everything looks normal, including pictures, so perhaps the pictures that Zappos took are a bit muted, less color saturated. 2) The soles of these sandals are very hard, solid, no cushion. It feels like walking on solid ground. Other than the issues above, the sandals fit very comfortably and are very light weight and airy.

Ordered these in my husband’s usual size 12 for him, and he could not even get them on. Re-ordered in a 13, and he could barely get them on and they felt too narrow for a D width. This was w/o socks on. There is not much “give” in the stretch of the strap that you pull on over the heel. Now looking for something similar with a Velcro back strap.

ran small imho. "my Size" was way tight.

All in all I like the sandals. I must say, I’m a little disappointed in Zappos when I buy what I believe to be a new pair of sandals and they show up in a beat up box with gum on the toes as well as visible wear on the soles.

I have worn Keens forever and always liked them but as I pass 80, my feet are changing so I have to figure out what size is best. Thanks to your generous return policy, this is possible.

Cant go wrong with KEEN

Ordered these for my husband. He loves them!

Great but I only got the men's size because my size was not available. these are too big for me so am returning.

These are fantastic all-purpose sandals - robust and comfortable. They stand to just about anything - long walks, hikes, you name it. There's not much I wouldn't do in them so long as the weather complies and you aren't tromping around on English trails in the mud. When they finally die, I'll buy another pair.

The shoes had a snugger fit than expected. As a result, I have to exchange them for a half-size larger.

I bought the Clearwater CNX in Sky Captain Blue. I own many Keens but these have become my favorite. It has a minimalist design without the bulk and weight of Keen's classic Newport H2s. I walked a lot in these (on city pavement, gravel trails and desert sands) and used them as water shoes as well and they performed very well. For me the CNX finds that sweet-spot for an adventure sandal (not a barefoot design and not a thick oversized clown-shoe). It may lack thick padding but they are still rugged and offer all-day comfort, stability and traction. The interior webbing was airy and comfortable with no blisters or chafing...and of course easy to clean and dry. As many others have said if your foot size is at that weird edge you may want to order a half-size up (but definitely not a full-size up) since Keen downsized the sole and the dimensions for this model. I hope more colors and a faux-leather model of the CNX becomes available soon as I will be replacing all my Newport H2's with these!

usually wear 9.5 but needed size 10 in this sandal. Like them a lot. This is my 2nd pair

I returned these Keen's because as much as I like the design the fit doesn't work for my foot shape. This size is too narrow and the next size up is too long. Great sandals but narrower than other Keens in the forefoot.

Purchased half a size larger, and that was the perfect fit

The fit was right on. Zappos made my shopping experience super easy. I will always check with them first when it comes to buying shoes.

Great minimalist shoe!

I absolutely love them!

most amazing active shoe made

Unfortunately had to return. Not a comfortable fit.

Same as the pair that separated after 3-4 years of wearing. The fit was fine.

Love this shoe, just a bit short.....easy to return for 1/2 size larger!

I'd say the size is right on. I have only had them for a week and only worn them indoors but I like so far when I have.

I would give them 6-stars if I could. They fit like a glove. Very light weight. I had a previous pair for 7 years. Loved them. These are way better. Going on a month long trip to Mexico beach, these will be perfect for any excursion. Much lighter than the Newports. These are the absolute best kicks for travel.

Great sandal. Just enough support without being bulky.
