Customer Reviews KEEN Rose Sandal

I got this in black. I love it. Just as comfortable as other Keens but not quite so “sporty.” I wish they offered a navy. Don’t love the other color choices.

These are cute! I have similar Keen sandals from about 10 years ago but they have no size on them so I ordered the Zappos recommended size for me (10), then I ordered a 10.5, then an 11. I’d say they run a half size short, but I’d also say the sizing is consistent for that brand. The stretchy strap across the front of the ankle is snug. The shoe is hard to get on but I’ve noticed it is loosening a little after putting them on a dozen or so times. The stitched on Velcro on that strap is pretty wide leaving very little of the strap available for stretching, if that makes sense (see photo). I may take a seam ripper to that Velcro then have a much smaller piece of it sewn back on. Then more of that strap would stretch. Or maybe I have fat ankles???

These shoes are beautiful I love the style, but...on one foot my toe is hurting a little when I wear them. I never had this happen before with Keens so I'm surprised and disappointed. And... the sizing has been crazy with Keens. My first pair similar to this style was a size 9. I usually wear a size 10 so I was shocked that 9 was the right size. The my next pair size 9 was too small but 9.5 fit perfect. Now with this style size 9.5 was too small and the size 10 fit just right. I feel like Goldilocks!

Keens run wide in the toe... yeah, they accommodate bunions. I have worn this shoe in a size 8 for 2-3 years and decided I needed a smaller size because the leather had stretched and they were a bit loose. I got a 7.5 to try, but the footbed was too short which caused the arch to be in the wrong place. In the meantime, I decided to wash my size 8 and the leather shrank a bit, so I am going to stick with my old shoes... for a while at any rate.

These sandals are just what I was looking for, something to protect my toes, yet nice enough to wear with a skirt.

This is the fourth pair of these Keen Rose Sandals that I’ve bought. This year they seem to have changed the manufacturing to make the sandal lighter, which is great. But they also seem to have made the toebox a little shorter or narrower, I’m not sure which. In the previous version I have worn a 6.5. But with this new style I had to exchange for a size 7. Of course Zappo’s makes exchanging so easy! These are excellent sandals for summer walking, light hiking, as well as for the beach because you can wear them in the water. My go-to sturdy sandals!

This is the fourth pair I bought. Too bad Keen’s design change—which I’m glad makes the shoe lighter—makes the tie box just a little bit shorter, but enough to be uncomfortable. I’ll try a half size up. Maybe that will help.

Loved them. Have foot issues, so finding comfortable shoes is always a challenge.

I got these for my 76 year old mother for Mother's Day, as she liked mine when I was visiting with her last summer. She loves them! Thank you! It is tough to get her stamp of approval.

The sandals are perfect and I'll probably buy at least one more color. They are softer than I anticipated and wide enough to accomodate my wide forefoot. I'm not a sandals fan but I like an airy shoe for summer. I've been wearing Whisper for casual after work activities but wanted something that I could wear to work and this fill the bill. Way to go Keens!

This sandal is particularly attractive and much less chunky than most Keens. It's probably a tad narrower, but my foot with a modest bunion is doing fine in it. Note that the strap just below the ankle is stretchy but doesn't open. There's a half strap that overlaps it and allows adjustable tightening but not loosening. Upside: the sandal's secure on your foot. Downside: not easy to get on or off. I've had mine about a week and done a good bit of walking in them. If they continue to be this comfortable as the weather gets hotter, I'll buy a second color.

These shoes are great. I have plantar faciitis and have trouble finding supportive shoes for a professional job. Though these are not as professional as I really need, they are the only option for my situation. I put an additional 3/4 arch support in this shoe and it works perfectly for summer.

These size 11 fit perfectly, when I normally wear 10 1/2. This is my second pair of the Keen Rose sandal, the first pair having held up well for 5 years. I love these, they are very comfortable, cover my toes, and breeze through wet conditions too.

They look like the picture. I bought them to wear for biking to work in the summer heat, and they'll serve that purpose well. Specifically, they'll stay on and have good air flow. I don't think they're comfortable enough for serious hiking.

First of all, I totally agree with everyone who complained about the difficulty of getting into these sandals because the heel strap is not adjustable. I am lucky to be able to get them on, but it's not easy. I disagree with the person who said there is no arch support; there's not a lot, but the footbed is NOT flat. I usually wear an 8.5 or a 9. I ordered the 8.5 and loved how they looked, but they seemed a little tight, so to be safe, I ordered the 9 to compare. The 9 is slightly more comfortable but they look so much bigger I decided to go with vanity and keep the 8.5. I wore the 8.5's around outside today and I'm glad I opted to keep them. I'd rather they be slightly tight than own them and not wear them because they look big! I can't imagine anyone wearing socks with these sandals, but if that's an option for you, for sure, size up!

I have a pair of gray ones just like these and love them so much I purchased another. They are very comfortable and I can wear these all day.

They are light weight, comfortable and are stylish enough to wear with a sundress. Very happy they finally had these in a size 12. The width was okay for my slightly wide feet.

I have bunions and most shoes hurt, but these are perfect, Comfortable, pretty and practical.

These shoes were ruined by the gaping toe covering! I assume this material was there to protect the toes, but it is like an extra piece of fabric stuffed into the shoe. I had to work to keep it from folding under my toes. Otherwise the shoe felt true to size and had good support.

These shoes are comfortable and versatile. However, my feet are really stinky after wearing these even when I'm not sweating.

I thought I’d love these, but did not. They were about a half size too short as compared to the Keen Whisper and just not as comfortable.

Bought the Rose sandal because I had an old pair of Keens that were super comfortable. Was initially pleased with the appearance and fit. But after about 2 hours of wearing, found that the textured foot bed was grating under my toes and beginning to hurt. Oddly, my other Keens seem to have same foot bed but have never bothered me. Wonder if anyone else has had a similar problem (?) Will be trying to find a way to insert something under the toe section that's a little more forgiving. Otherwise the Rose seems as advertised.

I have so many pairs of Keens, in various styles, so I thought these would be as comfy as my older sandal/water shoes. Can't remember the name...BUT these were stiff and not much sole support. I have lost the fat on the balls of my feet and I need support there. I loved the color and style and really wanted them to work, but had to send them back. Also, my baby toe on my right foot kept sticking out. Too bad, cuz they are cute.

My 1st pair are several years old and have been worn for everything from out for dinner with dresses, to kayaking. These are great sandals, especially for travel, only need 1pair of shoes for warm seasons. This year I treated myself to another color and I am very happy.

I like these Keen sandals because they are cute enough to wear casually but can also work as a hiking sandal. They fit a bit small. I normally wear an 8.5 and had to get a 9 in these sandals.
