Customer Reviews KEEN Rose Sandal

Either my feet have widened in one year (even though I’ve lost 25 pounds) or something isn’t right with these. This is my fourth pair of this style, Rose Keens (same size/width) in 8 years, and I was surprised that as soon as I put them on they kind of bothered me. They felt a little narrow. Maybe they were made in a different country with slightly different specs? I’m going to return them.

I’ve been wearing Keen Newport for years and decided to try the Rose. To my surprise, the fit really well (I had to return the Newport’s for a half size bigger). I wear the Rose sandals most of the time now. They are less of a major shoe than the Newports, but so easy for every day, and more flexible for wearing with all kinds of summer clothes.

Love this shoe! I bought a half size larger, after trying my usual size.

The shoe was perfect. Ruben my right a little but loosen the straps and it works perfect.

Started wearing my second pair of Rose after i could no longer take the squeaking of the first pair. I am 3 months in wearing them about half the week and here we go again. the right sandal now squeaks. It's so annoying..My husband even noticed. Its surprisingly loud. I am not going to purchase any more of these. Very comfy so this is a big disappointment.

These sandals were great for my beach vacation. I didn't mind getting them wet or sandy. Just hose them off and they're good to go. They were super comfortable except when hot sand got stuck inside. For reference, I typically love in Reef Sandy sandals all summer. These felt great on my feet.

Very comfortable. Roomy fit. I normally wear an 8 1/2 but size 8 fits perfectly. Not a lot of arch support but still comfortable for walking. Can be paired with skirts, jeans, shorts, or dresses. I love these sandals.

The strap is not adjustable as it appears in the photo. There is a second fixed strap under it. Although the shoes fit my normal size the box of the toe was not high enough for my toes. I returned the shoes.

although there is a Velcro strap over the instep, it can do very little to adjust the fit because it lies on top of a fixed strap. That strap is so short that it is difficult to put on the sandals. That strap should be adjustable, either by a buckle or a Velcro fastening.

I love the green color. This color of green sandals is hard to find. Also love the rubbery toe guard…keeps toes from being stubbed or bumped!

Lightweight, fun to wear. Hiked over 16 creek crossings yesterday, and they performed perfectly.

I have owned Keen Rose sandals for many years. My old ones were looking a bit shabby, so I ordered my normal size (11) and threw my old ones out. Boy, that was a mistake! The new sandals don't fit at all like the old ones. They were so small. The toe box was cramped and the crisscross straps at the front were very tight. Surprisingly, the ankle straps were also ill-fitting and too small. I could barely get my foot into the sandal. They fit my sister, who wears a size 10, but even she commented that the straps and toe box were tight. Also, the material of the straps were stiff and a bit scratchy. Again, not like the old ones, that were softer and more flexible. I wish Keen would go back to their old design.

these feel great, fit great, love them! I have ouchie bunions, and a wideish foot, so i usually order a half size larger. These don't bother me one bit, even in my "normal" size (10 instead of 10.5). Amazed.

I have several pairs of Keens and they all make my problem feet feel great. So I had great hopes for this pretty Rose sandal. Sadly the ankle strap is much too tight for my thick ankle. The ankle strap is fixed/attached -- it only looks adjustable due to the velcro strap over the top of it. That is probably fine for those who need a more snug fit, but miserable on my foot. Sadly these will be returned, and the search continues.

These are the best sandals ever!!! I wanted something that covered my toes, but that wasn't clompy or too masculine looking. These sandals have great support, and are comfortable to wear all day right from day one (no breaking-in period). My feet aren't too hot in them, and they don't slide around inside them either. Everything is comfortable about them, and they look cute.

Nice shoe, comfortable and I think it will serve multiple purposes - walking/fitness center/etc. Was comfortable immediately. Two detractors: (1) the large toe box - now where near as exaggerated as many other shoes these days, but just a bit more than I had hoped; and (2) the minimal amount of arch support. It is still a good shoe, just not quite perfect. After so many months of looking both locally and online, buying and returning (the UPS store has awarded me favorite customer status - or at least they should), I'm thrilled to have something I can wear.

I love these sandals. I have a high instep and high arch so finding a good fit can be challenging. They offer the support I need with a bit of fun. The only concern is they are snug (not tight) across the top of my foot. It is not not so much to be of concern. These shoes have jumped to the front of the line in my closet for summer.

I returned these. I ordered 2 pairs - 1 in size 6 and another in size 6.5. Both pairs were acceptable in length and width but I felt that both pairs had no arch support (I have a normal arch). Also, the style has an ankle strap which is backed by another strap which stretches only a little and is uncomfortable. The ankle strap itself has velcro and can be completely opened but because of the secondary minimally stretched backing strap, one can't just step into the shoe. One has to carefully slip the foot into the shoe.

These are very comfortable from the start. The strap near the ankle is adjustable. They are true to size. They look more presentable than most comfort sandals.

Comfortable instantly. Great for outdoor activities. Took them for canoe and kayak trips and in the ocean and dried fairly fast and felt okay to wear the rest of day. Basically a good sandal with toe protection.

I really love these sandals and now have them in three colors. I wore them for hours of walking in gardens (including the Chelsea Flower Show) in May. No problems, no pain.

Very comfortable shoe from the moment I put them on! Light yet supportive. Love them!

I love these sandals- so glad that you received more colors

The bumps on the inside sole are an irritation to me

The rose sandals fit quite well. I do wish keens would consider offering wide widths to their sandals, shoes and boots.
