Customer Reviews KEEN Rose Sandal

I normally wear a narrow width, but am able to wear this sandal thanks to the adjustable ankle strap. I especially like that this shoe has the look and feel of a sandal, but with a closed toe. It's well-made and sporty, but not clunky. The only downside is that I can't slip these sandals on. I have to adjust the straps each time, but I'm still very pleased with them.

Great shoe!

Very cute and comfortable shoe, love the lavendar color. But due to the lack of arch support, I could see my ankles turning inward as I stepped. I have really high arches and a history of sprains. So sadly, back they go. I always wear a 7 with a wide toe box; Zappos recommended a 7.5 in this model, and it did fit.

Overall a cute, substantial feeling sandal, but they were too narrow for my feet; sent them back.

Cute, sturdy sandals. They were true to size in the length, but I found them to be too narrow for me. I returned them and purchased another pair of the Keen Bali Sandals.

The Keen Rose Sandal is a cute sandal, but my usual size in these were too narrow for me. I returned them.

I am very happy with this sandal; in fact I ordered another pair today in another color. They are true to size and so comfortable there was no "breaking in" time. No problem with the pinky toe popping out between the straps as some reviews mentioned. Velcro holds very well. I was worried that the soles would be a gravel magnet with all the crevices, but there is no problem at all. They stay very clean. Zappo's service is excellent in my experience.

I'm so glad that these worked, since after reading many reviews I had a lot of trepidation over the oft-mentioned nonadjustable ankle strap. They are tight on my high arch/high instep foot, but not so much that I think they'll be a problem. I am wearing them in the house, and they are already loosening some. But it's true, these sandals would fit a flat foot much better. It's not a matter of how big your ankles are, it's your instep. How far the top of your foot rises up. I read a great tip in a review at another website ( A****n, can I say that Zappos?) Anyway, it concerns the adjustable velcro strap that covers the nonadjustable fixed one. If like me the top of your foot is so high that the velcro doesn't line up right and the end of the strap doesn't reach all the way over to the side of your foot, you can thread a hair elastic through the buckle to lengthen the strap. Take a look over there for a photo that shows you what I mean. The foot bed is true to size in my opinion, unlike the Bali strap sandal that I had to return because it was so big. Same 7.5 as the Rose but far longer. Mine are blue which looks great with denim. I am really happy with them, feel that for sport sandals they look pretty feminine, and had a great experience with Zappos' customer service.

I like the style of these Keen's very much. But the strap across the instep doesn't expand enough, and I think would be uncomfortable if worn for an extended length of time. The strap's limited expansion also makes it hard to slip the sandal on.

The strap across the arch has an under-strap of elastic that is not very stretchy. This makes the shoes difficult to put on. The over-strap closes with velcro and is not very long. While the shoes are attractive and comfortable once you have them on, I’ll wear them less often because you have to seriously bend over and tug the straps to get your foot in, and I don’t have a high arch.

One slight complaint. I have a high instep and the velcro strap barely connects enough to say closed. Other than that I love the shoes. Just what I need for my upcoming hot weather vacation that will include some hiking and lots of walking.

This is my 3rd pair of Keen Rose Sandals and I have been buying other Keen shoes for years. These fit my feet perfectly and wear well for casual walking around town, etc. The last pair I wore for five years and the velcro strap wore out before the rest of the shoe. Support is decent and they do not hurt my feet in any way.

I ordered this sandal in two sizes as I need them for an upcoming trip. The 9 was too small and the 9.5 too big. The 9 was a better fit but a bit short and the straps were a bit uncomfortable , too stiff. I don't want to steer you away from this sandal if you can find the right as it is a very attractive sandal that would serve for both walking all day and looking good with casual attire for the evening.

These are the only Keen shoes/sandals that I can wear the only ones that my toes don't bump into the rubber tip. The front straps, though not adjustable, give my duck feet plenty of room. I would like them better if they had a bit more support and cushioning.

The ankle strap was tight as mentioned in other reviews. It was so uncomfortable, I knew these shoes would be pushed to the back of the closet and so returned them. FYI, as another reviewer mention, this shoe does not have arch support. This is not a problem for me but beware if you need arch support.

As others have said, the ankle strap does not adjust and felt a little too snug. They felt good on my feet, but I did feel like they were a little “old lady” for me. Returning.

Good, but not quite enough toe protection.

I wear a lot of Keen shoes and all the others are a 10.5. On these I had to go up to 11. Other then that I think these are great, cute shoes for super casual and comfortable summer fun!

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'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 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.

have three pair, green, blue, tan. After about 6 months both the green and the blue developed a squeak with each right step. Outside its fine but in the office, down the hall, "eek-eek-eek", it is loud and annoying. Otherwise, the fit is good, wide enough toe box and my narrow heel stays put. Over time, the velcro strap starts to "fuzz" and not hold as well...but the squeak will finish off the shoe before the velcro.

I live these shoes and ordered a have size smaller because I had ordered Bali strap sandals and my usual size 11 was really big. I have always had a perfect fit with Keen, the 10.5 in this sandal is perfect length but so tight! It’s ridiculous. I have plenary of room in the tie box but this sandal has a poly strap that cannot be adjusted. So there is a Velcro strap that’s pretty useless as it’s super short. I don’t have wide feet so I was very disappointed. I ordered an 11 to see if that is better but the length was so spot on I hope it fits better.

Have wanted a pair for a few years. Only disappointment, and it is a small one, is that the strap across the top of the foot does not release/fully adjust. When my foot is wet, it's a little fussy getting the sandal on, but this is a minor issue with an otherwise fantastic sandal. Great support, love the color!

All the comfort and utility you expect from Keen with really cute styling. My feet are wide at the front, narrow-ish in the heel and my instep is low. I didn't have the same problem other people with higher insteps have with the fixed straps, but I can see what they mean. The hook and loop part of the strap is good for minor adjustment only. These do seem to run small. I wear between a 7 and a 7.5. The 7.5 just barely fits with a thin pair of running socks. If you wear yours as light hikers and want thicker socks; go a full size larger. The width in the toe box is good.
