Customer Reviews KEEN Rose Sandal

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

These are cute in person! The straps were more comfortable than I would have expected for a manmade material, and I don't think they would cause blisters like other sandal straps usually do to me. They turned out to be too small, though. I normally wear an 8 1/2 in sandals and these were too snug in the toe bed, but I also have longer toes than average. I'd still recommend going up a half size. Other considerations: There is a little bit of arch support, but I would have preferred more cushion in the footbed. Also, one of the straps over the little toe had a tendency to twist when putting them on. This is easily fixed by untwisting the strap into place, but it makes the sandal just a little fussier than I'd like. They were cute enough that I almost ordered a size up, but ultimately settled on a different sandal that offered more cushion in the footbed.

Cute but no real support. For casual days of only moderate walking, nothing strenous

The Keen Rose Sandals fits my feet nicely and are cute with both pants and dresses. This style is not as sturdy as other Keen sandals I own and does not provide as much arch support as I have come to expect from Keen. I have very flat feet but this still works and I was able to wear them with absolutely no break-in time. Be cautious if you do not have slender ankles as the sandal does not fully open at the ankle. One must slip your entire foot through the stretchy ankle area then pull the ribbon with Velcro at the end of it over the stretchy opening and secure it. It may not work well for someone with larger ankles. Overall I am pleased with these sandals and happy to have purchased them for the sale price.

Okay. Do not like the bumpy innersole, at all. Runs small so,kept the larger size

I love the style, and the fit is very good. The only problem is that I need a lot of arch support, and this sandal has only the smallest "swell" where the arch should be. So I got some of those "invisible arches" and put in the sandals. However, the footbed does not stick to the adhesive on the wedges. So I will have to use some double-sided carpet tape to hold the wedges in place. If that does not add enough thickness, I can try adding another supporting insert. Is there any chance that Keen will make a similar sandal with dependable arch support?

Stylish, comfortable, practical sandal. The color - to me - is more khaki, with the footbed as aluminum. Smaller fit than the Keen Clearwater or Whisper. I have owner/worn a pair of Clearwater in 8 1/25 for years but needed a 9 in the Rose style. Only concern is that the strap near the ankle is a little uncomfortable. Although there is an adjustable strap across the ankle, the "base strap" is fixed and keeps this area from being completely adjustable. If I had thinker ankles, I would not be able to wear this sandal.

Fit was a bit generous, but OK, gorgeous shoe, comfy, BUT, there is a piece of fabric over the toe area that rubbed on my big toe cuticle and made a blister. Very disappointed bc these shoes are light, pretty and otherwise very comfortable. Thank you Zappos for the easiest shoe shopping on earth. Love you guys. . .

Returned the Rose sandal for the third time due to sizing. First got a size 6, too small-granddtr couldn't even get her foot in it. Got a size 7 but had to return b/c the toe cap on one shoe was defective in my opinion as the cap was pushed in where cap and fabric meet causing pain & irritation top of the foot. Rec'd a perfect size 7 but granddtr said the heel strap hurts when she was wearing around the house. Decided to end this and return w/o trying for a size 7 1/2. This style may just not be a good fit. Will look into other Keen styles in the near future. Great return policy that's why I shop Zappos.

Keen normally runs a bit wide in the forefoot for me, and these are no exception. However, the straps keep my foot in place pretty well and the extra room will allow for socks on a cool day. (Yes, I live in Seattle where we wear socks with our sandals because we wear sandals not just in the summer). These seem as if they will be nice travel and camping shoes. Very lightweight. A bit clunky looking. Don't think I'd wear them with a dress, but certainly fine with jeans or shorts. My usual size in closed-toe shoes is 8M. The 8M is a little long for me, so I'm ordering a 7.5 to see which is best. Thanks, Zappos, for making this super easy for me!

I really wanted to like these shoes. They're cute and seem like they'd be comfortable except--first off, they're just a little to short. The width is fine for my medium width feet, but my big toe touched the front and that's not good. Also, there was insufficient arch support. I don't have super high arches, but there was no support for me. Another thing was that the insole felt a bit too textured. I wasn't sure if my feet wouldn't get sore with a lot of walking or exercise. So... back they went. I got Teva's instead. I'd recommend ordering a half size up.

Cute shoe! It was not easy to get on since the ankle strap does not open completely. So I am returning them.

I purchased these Keens because they were a little dressier & more feminine than my Newport H2s. They are adorable and comfortable. Because they are what I desired: feminine, they are missing the thick soul comfort of the H2s. I will continue to wear my Newport H2s for longer walk hike/tours and utilize these Rose Sandals for lighter wear and shorter walks. These are definitely adorable. I ordered the blue color because they were on sale and love them.

This pair was 1/2 size smaller than the pair I purchased 2 years ago.

I really like the Rose Sandal. They're simple in design and fit very well. I appreciate the support Keen adds to their shoes and these are great.

They are really cute and comfortable. However, they don't feel durable enough for my purposes. I think they would be great for general wear.

I am a big fan of Keen shoes and have many pairs but I bought the Rose sandal after seeing them on a person I met on a biking trip. They look nice with a dress and are just as comfortable as the more rugged styles.
