Customer Reviews KEEN Rose Sandal

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

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!

These have been excellent shoes for walking the cobblestones streets of Italy as well as hiking. Highly recommend them! Also, comfortable from day 1!

I have delicate bony feet and rarely find walking sandals that fit or are comfortable for long walks. This one fits the bill and they are relatively attractive compared to most walking shoes. Bought 3 more pairs after wearing the first one for a month walking 5 miles each day. No breaking in period. They've put padding in the areas where one would normally get blisters when first wearing. First pair of Keens I've owned since I have found all the ones I've tried in previous years too firm on my feet - not having padded or meaty feet.

These sandals are super comfortable and really cute on. I wear an 8 or 8.5 and I did order the 8.5. As other reviewers have noted, the strap across your foot is stretchy and doesn't detach when the velcro strap on top is lifted. But it's soft and doesn't bother my foot at all. It gave just a bit since I first put them on a month ago. One issue I had was the stitching started to unravel on the strap (which is unlike Keen footwear), however, so I contacted Zappos and they are going to exchange them for me. Super great service, as always!

I saw lady at the lake with these on and they looked so fabulous I had to order a pair for myself. I love these shoes! They are extremely light weight, easy on and off and great for the water or casual wear. I was stopped by another lady in a store and asked where I bought them. She said she was going to go right home and order her a pair. So they must look pretty great!

I love the Keen Rose Sandal. This is my 3rd pair of Keen shoes, and these are as comfortable as the others. I ordered my usual size and the fit is fine. These are a little more feminine than some of the others, which I like.

I love this shoe! I purchased them for a month long trip to Europe where I would be on my feet, in and out of the water, most of the time. They fit perfectly right out of the box. They look much nicer than other Keen water sandals, so I was able to wear them both to restaurants and rafting. Admittedly, I still looked like an American, but it was less in your face. My feet were never tired like I had experienced on other trips. It sounds like if you have fleshier feet then the ankle strap may be a problem, but I am pretty big boned and they were no problem for me. I hope they continue making this style, because my mom was too slow in looking for them and they are all out of her size!

The shoes are lovely but they are just not comfortable. One of the straps rubs on my toe and would become painful. Sorry but I have to return them.

I felt little arch support. The bigger problem was the adjustable strap across the instep hides an elastic one beneath it. The elastic is too tight for my high instep...a slightly odd design. The fabric was a little scratchy on my feet, too.

The materials are waterproof which is good for water activities. I would not wear these for extended periods.

I decided I wanted to have an open toe sandal. I did not like the strap across the ankle.

Though I love Keene as they fit my wide feet, this particular sandal is really lacking in arch support. But the combination of looks and practicality means I will keep it for my upcoming travels. The width is nice. For those with high arches and insteps, getting your feet in and out of these is not quite as easy as the pure Velcro strap units. There is a Velcro strap but with a rubbery cross strap underneath which cannot be detached. Keen…please start using your better foot beds in your more ‘fashion forward’ sandals!

I got one size smaller than my “recommended” size (8 instead of 8.5). I have another pair in size 8, which I love, so I knew 8.5 was WAY to big for me in this shoe. I really wanted a pair of this shoe in Navy but just could not get past the toe color, which was considerably lighter than the photos. Completely ruined the look. Disappointed, returned.

The tight non-adjustable strap over the ankle was just too uncomfortable.

Great sandal for anyone with high arches.

Bought these Keen Rose sandals for a hot weather trip where I want closed toe, supportive sandals for active days, but that will look OK with nicer pants going out to nicer places at night. My usual very comfortable, very good arch support sandals won't look good enough for dinner at nice restaurants. These sandals fit the bill very well. Very comfortable right away right out of the box, no break in period needed, nice wide toe box but heel is narrow enough to feel secure. Straps feel secure but with the right amount of stretch. I've only worn them around the house so far, so will update my review after my trip. Wouldn't normally choose this style, but it works in this situation. What I would change: more arch support; a little higher heel (I get a little back ache wearing them); and a tad less little-girl mary jane style. This is my first pair of Keen sandals (have winter boots that I love), and overall very impressed with the comfort, and the look that works my intended use.

didnt care for the gray with the black

Love these sandals - look great, feel good...just didn't fit my toes correctly with my hammertoe - hard to fit into a shoe anymore but I really wish these fit - great style, would look great with everything!

My husband and kids have worn Keens for years so I finally decided to get a pair for myself. I ordered these and the Whispers to compare. I am normally a 7.5/8 and did have to go up to an 8.5 in the Rose to get a proper fit. I thought they were equally comfortable to the Whispers and cuter IMO, so I returned the Whispers. I agree its a little annoying to put your foot through the ankle strap but once I was in it was comfortable. Haven't worn them outside yet as its winter.

I would have loved to keep these shoes because I like how they looked, their weight and even how they felt, except that the strap around the ankle was too tight. It has velcro on it but can only be adjusted tighter (not looser due to the fixed piece underneath). It would have been better to have made this a fully adjustable strap so people with wider widths could wear this shoe also.

I have a pair of these in the Brindle color that I bought a few years ago and I really like them. At that time, reviews talked about them being tight at the ankle strap. Mine were not tight at all. So, this year I decided I wanted a second color and ordered the Blue Opal. Again, the reviews mentioned the tightness of them, but I thought I would take a chance, since my first pair were perfect. Well, these are tight overall - across the foot and at the ankle strap. I can get them on, and they do not hurt my foot (or I would send them back). I can wear them for long periods without blister problems or irritation, but I do notice the tightness. I am going to keep them. I am hoping that, even though they are man-made material, they will stretch out some over time. We'll see.

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.
