Customer Reviews KEEN Rose Sandal

Oh my gosh, these are SO CUTE. The problem is that the sandal's webbing does not cover any portion of the small toe on my left foot. So, my toe lies completely outside of the opening and catches on the opening's edge when I take a step. I do not have this problem with my right foot. I'm not sure if the problem is with my feet, the sandals, or both. They are so darn cute, I may (in a moment of weakness) consider purchasing them in a different color - with the hope that manufacturing tolerances might be different My foot size is between a 7 and 7.5 and a "B" or "M" width. My right foot is slightly longer than my left. I usually accommodate my right foot. I also ordered the Venice H2 and the Whisper (which I have also reviewed) and decided to purchase the Whisper (my first Keen purchase). Of the three styles, the Rose has the narrowest footbed and the least arch support, and the most refined appearance. There is an elastic band around your ankle which is fairly snug and and additional, adjustable ankle strap for further tightening. My left ankle has about an 8.25" circumference. I found that there wasn't a need for additional tightening. So, the additional ankle strap is just for show (in my case). I don't think of this style as a trekking sandal at all.

I got these shoes to hike through streams and ended up with tons of pebbles getting stuck between my feet and the sole making it very uncomfortable. I had to stop numerous time to take the shoe off and empty. The shoe itself is very comfortable though. I usually wear a 9, bought these in 9.5 and they fit perfectly. My foot is on the wider side and I had plenty of toe room.

This shoe looked great on the website. However, the pictures do not clearly show that the ankle straps are one piece. They cannot be opened or adjusted. There is no clasp or Velcro to open and adjust them. So if you are like me, with slightly large ankles, these shoes are useless. I could not fit my ankles into them. This is such a design fail for a shoe I was really hoping would work well for me.

These sandals run small, which I found surprising considering my other pair of Keene sandals run big! The elastic around the ankle is almost too tight, and I think would not work at all for someone with thicker ankles. They are cute and comfortable enough to wear to work and have the closed toe required by my employer. I love the washability of Keenes, which I think is essential for something you put your bare foot in and the main selling point for me with these shoes.

Perfect fit and I’m usually an 11M. Great look for me.

Comfortable walking show with good support. Like the covered toe. Easily adjustable for comfortable fit.

Love these shoes. Very comfortable and stylish

I wanted these to feel as good as my older Keen sandals. The footbed was stiffer and not as soft and conforming to my arch, so I had to send them back. Loved the Grey! and the style...totally bummed they didn't work for me :(

My left foot is wider than my right and the left shoe was fine but the right shoe was too narrow. Disappointed.

I am a big fan of Keen shoes and I think I will love these. The only issue is the velcro strap that goes across the top. It has another strap underneath it that is not ajustable and I find it a little on the top of my foot. I am hoping it will loosen up after a few wears.

These sandals are adorable and they fit well. I like the lavender color much better, though. They are comfortable other than the material feeling somewhat rough.

Bought these shoes last year's for a trip to Bali. So comfortable I bought another color for this year's trip!

Okay, these are Keens. So they’re not super beautiful. But they’re the cutest sandal of their type that I found and they feel terrific! They are true to length, but may be too wide if your foot is narrow (mine is not). I did have to return the first pair I bought because the left was strangely wider than the right. Next pair was just right!

This is my third pair of these sandals. I love them! I am a frequent out of the country traveler and I always take a pair of these with me because they are so comfortable and versatile. I wear them with shorts, skorts, leggings, jeans and when I put on a little dress. I take them when I'm backpacking & camping and wear them in camp after taking off my hiking boots. I walk in the water with them and wear them kayaking because they dry so quickly. I'm an active person so I like having my toes covered and like that these don't appear clunky like other sport sandals. I have bouts of plantar fasciitis so I only wear shoes that have support and these work well for me. No matter where I am, I always get compliments on these sandals.

Ordered size 9, too small. Ordered size 9.5, same size as 9, dissappointing. Ordered 10, too big. Really wanted to make these work, but had to send them all back.

These sandals were right in terms of length and width, but were too deep (aka they are for a high volume foot, not a thin foot). Sadly, had to return.

I love these shoes, I have more than one pair. So comfortable and great support. Keen never disappoints me.

I bought the sandal a couple of years ago and loved it. The styling is great - not too clunky - but it provides support and is very comfortable. The size seemed true. However, I just ordered 2 additional pairs and they are smaller and narrower than the ones I have. I thought at first mine had stretched but when I put them up against each other, my old sandals are definitely a bit longer and broader. It is very disappointing.

This is the 3rd pair of these sandals I have purchased. They are stylish yet very comfortable. Hope they keep this style.

This is my second pair of Keen sandals, they fit me perfectly every time.

Perfect for my very thin, narrow size 8 because of the style and Velcro. Perhaps Keen could make another one with this nice fit for a slender person that’s a tad more feminine!

I've had this sandal for now over a year. It's the second pair of Keens I own. I previously got the Whisper, which I like a lot, but prefer the Rose for its style. I got the dark grey which goes with everything. I have walked miles in my Keens and taken them on countless vacations. They are the best. Not one blister. Ever. Even when I went to Disney World and walked 10 miles one day, my feet still were ok. I can't say the same for other shoes. Will continue to buy Keens!

With the goal of simplifying my travel packing, I wanted a pair of sandals that would work equally well in the city and hiking through a stream. A toe guard was important which limited my options.These fit well (the reported tight ankle strap is not a problem for my size 6 feet) and look as stylish as practical sandals can. While my trips so far have been around the house (it's too cold outside for sandals) I look forward to testing them in the real world soon.

I looked high and low for a sport sandal that didn't look too bulky and frumpy and this one seems like a winner. I tried the Keen Whisper and Newport Eco. Both too bulky and unattractive (in my opinion). I loved the Keen Bali Strap -- I liked that the straps were nylon on the Bali Strap (instead of a faux leather on the Rose). Nylon would be better for getting wet. But the Rose has much better treads on the bottom than the Bali strap. Basically, I preferred the styling and nylon straps of the Bali Strap but needed the treads, so the Rose was the winner. I tried the shiitake color first, but I found it to be a little too dark, so I returned for aluminum. It's a better neutral for me. Photos are bali strap vs. shiitake rose and aluminum rose vs. shiitake rose.

Ordered this shoe and the bali strap in the same size, 7.5. Was maybe a half size too small. This shoe was too small in the toe box and the bali strap appeared to be wider and at least a full size larger. I would have ordered this shoe in an 8, but am not confident in the sizing.
