Customer Reviews KEEN Rose Sandal

I’ve been buying Keen shoes, boots and sandals for many years and was surprised to find that this shoe felt too large. It is so cute and pretty enough to wear with skirts and dresses. I kept the size 7 that I ordered because I had time constraints and I’ve been pleased with the comfort and looks even though I wish I’d order a 6. Cute shoe, nice neutral color and the usual great Keen comfort. Thanks for your great service, Zappos!

I've worn a variety of Keen's for years and was reliably a size 8. Now, I need an 8.5 for length, but find they are too narrow in the toe box. This has been the case with other Keen styles as well.

I am very happy with this purchase. The sandal is both durable and feminine, perfect for both city and rural settings. The strapping is beautifully designed and gives chic to country rambles. The fit is perfect, and footing is secure on rugged terrain. (I purchased a size 8, which is comparable to the UK 5.5, CM 25, and EU 38.5.) I was looking for a neutral color, so Brindle/Shitake fit my needs. (Note, though, that the color combination is duskier than it appears on the Zappos website.) This is my first pair of Keens; I don't think it will be my last!

I love these sandals! I wore them for 12 hours and walked 10 miles at Disneyland and my feet and legs felt great! No blisters, no sore soles. The shoes got quite wet on Splash Mountain, but dried quickly. I imagine they’ll do just as well hiking the trails!

I have two pairs I purchase last year. These are smaller.

I bought a pair of these 5 years ago, and they were great. So I ordered a new pair in the same size, and they’re too small. Guess I have to exchange them. I still wear the old pair on hikes and in creeks, but I’ve had to glue the Velcro parts a couple of times.

Fits great. Feels light and comfortable. Looks stylish on too. It doesn’t look clunky or masculine.

I love that these are stylish looking Keens. Comfortable and practical, but they are much nicer looking than other Keens. I get lots of compliments on them.

I'm so happy these run large. I've been looking for a closed-toe summer sandal that can get wet, and disappointed that the Keen shoes I looked at never seemed to come in my size, especially in a color I wanted. (I wear 11.5 when I can get it; 12 when I can't.) Zappos recommended size 11 for me, so I gave it a try, and they fit. Very comfy. Sole is nice and grippy and bouncy. Not as aggressively clunky and ugly as other Keens. I like that they're washable, although I haven't tried washing them yet.

I bought these in blue for a three week trip to Europe during which I was doing everything from touring cities and eating in fine restaurants to visiting Greek temples to marching up steep mountain pathways to the ruins of Norman castles. I have to say these shoes are very comfortable and supportive – and even garnered a lot of compliments from strangers. I was told that they are not waterproof but when I got home they were so dusty that I decided to wash them gently and they came out just fine. Five stars.

I have worn this rose sandal before and loved it. This pair felt a size too short and much narrower than my last pairs like this. So disappointed with keen lately!

Perfect! I tried three keen sandals. Needed something to be able to get in the water with. These were the best, most comfortable although they all had the same sole, and the best looking. I broke an ankle nine months ago. I still have some swelling in the ankle and foot area. My other foot is my usual skinny foot. So basically my feet aren’t the same. Although I have swelling I did not find the strap that goes over the top of my ankle area tight. It does stretch, and is soft. I’ve been wearing a Birkenstock, the arch in the keens are not as high, more moderate, but more than most sandals. My second choice in fit and comfort was the Keen Whisper. But I did not like the stretch cord that adjusts the fit of the shoe. On my skinny foot this stuck out inches and was concerned that it would get hung up on something on trails or a cleat on our boat. For someone looking for a cute style and a wider foot I suggest the Keen Bali Strap. I learned a friend of mine also has this shoe the Rose, and just today in line at the market a gal had on the same. My guess this shoe fits the bill for many.

Very confortable. The color is subdued, so it goes with eveverything.

These Keens are fantastic! I wear them all day at work and my feet are completely happy. They feel like slippers with really good support. My feet feel well-protected and also cool and able to "breathe". Love the combo of a cute sandal with this level of comfort!!!

I returned the sandal. I usually wear size 10.5 in Keens but the Rose is too small. I really do prefer other akeem sandals but was trying to find a beige summer sandal. I still like Keens overall, just can’t wear the Rose.

I had to return this pair of Keens after a few months of wearing--and watching the toe cap separate from the shoe material. I have many pairs of Keens---Venice, Newport, and Whisper---but these Rose sandals did not live up to the Keen reputation for quality. I was sorry to see them go, as it is hard to find cute styles for my size 11.5 feet.

These are true to size but i would say if you slightly lean towards the next larger size, you should size up. They are very comfortable to walk around doing errands etc. I bought them to wear walking around Israel and wanted something that will be comfortable, supportive and breathable. I’m hopeful that sandals will do the trick.

I have another pair of this style. It's comfortable. I tried two new pair of this style in two different colors. The band that goes across the top of the foot was too tight on both pair. I measured the strap on my old pair and the strap on these new shoes. The strap that goes across the top of your foot is 1/2 inch shorter on the new shoes. Why would you shrink a strap when you can adjust the size with velcro? I had to return both pair because now they are making these too tight for a higher instep.

Believe everything you read about the non-adjustable lower strap. I can barely get my foot through it and it is uncomfortably tight when I do get it on. I do not wear shoes in wide sizes. I’m trying to decide if I want to return them. Another reviewer said she had a shoemaker remove the lower strap, which I may try. I have 3 pairs of Keen Clearwaters in size 11 and they are almost too long. The Rose sandal in 11 feels smaller and narrower than the Clearwater .The lavender color is beautiful and I find the footbed nicely cushy. These are nice sandals in a beautiful color. Why is the strap so tight and non-adjustable?

Ankle strap was too tight with no way to loosen. Stitching was rough inside the right shoe across the top of the foot but fine on the left. Loved the style but just not comfortable for me

I really like this sandal BUT my little toe stuck out of the side which made it quickly uncomfortable. This would work beautifully for someone with longer toes.

Love, Love, Love these Keen Sandals! I can wear them hiking and I can wear them to work. They are comfortable all day!

I've got another pair of the Keen Rose sandals that are about 5 years old, and they seem to fit differently. These are the same size as I usually purchase in Keens, but they definitely were too tight. I love the look, but had to send this pair back. I'm sure a half size larger would have worked, but I decided to try a pair of Chachos instead.

Most comfortable shoes I own! They don’t squish my feet and they offer support in the arches. Bought these for my overseas travels as they are slightly more fashionable than my original keens, yet just as incredibly comfortable. I love the purple color.... very subtle and neutral. I also like to wear them with no show socks for added comfort. I usually wear a 6 1/2 to 7 depending on shoe and bought these in a 7.

I’ve worn Keens for years, always the same size. I tried 3 different styles and they all were too short and slightly too narrow. I very disappointed because I was counting on a new pair for my upcoming vacation
