Customer Reviews KEEN Rose Sandal

These shoes are very cute and true to size. Unfortunately, I have a high instep and the strap is not really adjustable - I wish the shoe was made with a completely adjustable strap, but because it is not, I am returning the shoes.

I love the style and look on my foot, and it is properly sized 8 to 8.5 Medium, BUT....there is virtually no support for my fallen arches. KEEN, I thought, had a better footbed to support my arches, and my left foot's pronation that causes my ankle to ache and swell. Sadly, I had to return, but it is a cute shoe for any age...very youthful looking.

These sandals are super cute, but they are painful. The ankle strap is not fully adjustable, and it cuts in at an uncomfortable place. I have a normal in-step and ankles, so I’m not sure why they are so tight at the ankle. I might try a larger size since they are so cute, but I worry that they will be too long.

nice shoe but toebox is too narrow, as are most Keen shoes nowadays

Lovely sandal. I love keen sandals. But the straps put pressure on my bunions.

I like them initially, it haven’t worn them for any length of time. My concern is that the footbed will become sweaty. Time will tell.

Runs a half to full size small.

Be specific about your likes and dislikes. How was the fit and size? What does the material feel like? How awesome (or not) do you feel wearing them?

I have two pairs of this sandal that fit me They were were made in China and the sandals I just returned were made in Mexico. I don’t know if they are being made differently but the straps on the outside of the sandal were too loose and the shoe was to wide for me.

put them on, went for a walk, felt great, wonderful shoe

I actually returned this pair because the size 10 which I normally wear was much too small. And then I found the exact style (in the bottom of my closet) but in a size 10.5. So I'm giving the style a good review because the 10.5 is very comfortable. Wore them for a whole day and my feet were happy all day long.

Not as pretty as I’d hoped - looks too bulbous on my narrow foot, and the design of the shoe just exaggerates the effect since the mid foot is exposed. There is also a bit of play around my heel, so it’s not secure enough for water sports.

The sandals are so lightweight! I plan to use them on the beach and wanted the toe covering so I can transition them to water activities (kayaking, canoeing, etc). I was disappointed in lack of arch support, but I believe I will get used to them. I wear Danskos 41 and the 10.5 in these are PERFECT! It's so rare to find half sizes after 10. Except for the lacking arch, these are great. Giving 4 stars.

I sadly couldn't even try them on, my usually normal, medium width feet wouldn't even go in. they looked well made and a nice color.

I do have wide feet and these were narrow for me. Plus there was little stretch in the material. Even though there is velcro, the ankle is fixed. I tried the Keen Kira instead and was very happy with that. If you consider your feet wide I would look for that or another style.

I have never owned water shoes and knew nothing about them. I wanted shoes for kayaking and river walking. I ordered Rose Sandal and Whisper. I have a 12 N foot and high arches. The Rose sandal is very pretty and feminine and overall attractive. The Whisper is also very attractive and well made. In the end, I decided to return the Rose sandal as it is held on by Velcro and I wondered if that would stay shut is a strongish current. Whisper is a much more secure fit on the feet.

These were so cute but they were too small. I have 3 pair of Bali strap in 7's and this was way too tight. very little adjustment allowed

too large, even tho I have two Keen sandals similar that are a bit short in 7 1/2.. I've returned them

Loved the look, loved the style, thought they were a keeper until I put them on without socks. Then it all changed! I know when my daughter first got a pair of Keens in 2002 she was going down the Colorado river on a raft and needed a shoe that could get soaked, protect your toes, provide traction on wet surfaces and dry quickly. These were simply perfect. She has had Keens ever since. I thought these would be perfect for walking with the dogs etc and as I had never experienced the feel of the insole I had no idea how uncomfortable it would be on the foot. There is no way for perspiration to be absorbed and then when foot bed is damp, you slide around inside the shoe or it just feels gross. Plus I hated the way the texture felt under my foot. I only had them on for a half hour in my house, I can't imagine how terrible they would feel had I been outside and it had been a hot day. If I could have figured out a way to apply a sock to just the bottom of my foot I would haave kept, but that is not possible so back they go. No matter how cute, comfortable, etc I won't get another pair of Keens that are to be worn without socks.

I normally wear an 11 wide, and need a square or rounded toe box, not pointy at all. Keen's usually work great for both issues, but the other reviewers are correct. The KEEN Rose Sandal is actually pretty cute. I got it in the Gargoyle/Raven color which I like a lot more than the silvery gray. But there's virtually no arch support at all. They are almost flat where the arch should be. The issue with the strap around the ankle is accurate, too. I was hoping for an easy on/easy off sandal for the beach, but the strap across the top of the ankle is fixed, so I can see it being a challenge when at the beach full of sand, or trying to get these on & off with wet feet. I'm still on the fence with these, but I expect the hefty price tag of nearly $100 will be the big factor as to keeping or returning them.

It was just a bit too tight for my big toes. Love the overall feel except for that. I returned them and wish there was size 10 1/2.

These were exactly what I wanted! However, they didn't fit my foot. From other reviews, I was prepared that the neoprene ankle strap under the adjustable strap might be too tight and planned to cut and sew it if needed. And that area was snug on me but perhaps workable without this modification. The length was as expected. However, they were too small around the ball of the foot for me and there was no way to make them work. That front section just seemed too flat for my foot shape.

Very narrow across the top of the foot. Also, the ankle strap is a solid piece of neoprene so it is not so easy to slip on as similar sandals.

I wear a 9.5 N and these sandals fit well. For my foot, I could use more arch support, but overall I am well satisfied.

Super cute! Sadly, too small. And the non-adjustable strap at the ankle is too snug. A half size bigger would have maybe been better.
